Paige Spiranac has built a large following on social media through a variety of content, from golf commentary and tips to hot dog eating contests.
Spiranac plans to offer more exclusive content in the future. path By signing up, fans can get to know golf influencers on a more personal level.
But none of the success happened overnight.
Spiranac has spent years building the platform and figuring out how to monetize it.
In a recent interview with FOX Business, she shared some of the best advice she’s received as she works to grow her brand.
“First of all, respond quickly and respond to everything,” Spiranac said.
“There will be lots of opportunities coming your way, so always respond as quickly as possible.”
“Second, say yes to different opportunities,” she continued.
“That’s what I’ve done throughout my career. When I’m scared, when I feel incompetent, when I have imposter syndrome, everything [telling] Some people will say, “No, don’t do it, don’t do it, don’t do it,” but the best thing to do is to do it.
“Not everything you say yes to will be a success, but I’ve learned more from my failures than my successes, so you can fail, learn from it, and grow from it.”
With social media fame comes a lot of negativity.
Spiranac has pushed back against the criticism she sometimes receives on social media, telling Fox Business that she was “really sensitive” when she first started building her brand.
To combat this, Spiranac worked harder to build up her confidence.
“I realized I had to take a step back and do a lot of work on myself to make sure I was confident in who I was and creating the brand I wanted to create. Over the years, I’ve realized that’s okay. People are entitled to their opinions.”
“To be honest, sometimes it sounds like criticism or hate, but I think a lot of people don’t actually really mean it that way. I think in a way, they’re trying to help. So even if I get a comment that’s critical of me, I try to listen because maybe I can learn from it, maybe I can better myself, maybe I can adapt.”
Overall, Spiranac said it’s best not to take every little comment too seriously.
“Life is tough, and social media can be a pretty depressing place if you let certain things weigh on you. So if you step back and look at it from a different perspective, it can be an incredibly positive and wonderful community.”
