I’ve always said if I had it to do over again, I would have been an Instagram model. Apparently, I’m not the only one who’s had that thought. Bloomberg’s Max Chafkin decided to actually give it a shot (with the help of a marketing agency). “I would do everything possible within legal bounds to amass as many followers as I could. My niche would be men’s fashion, a fast-growing category in which I clearly had no experience. The ultimate goal: to persuade someone, somewhere, to pay me cash money for my influence.” The Confessions of an Instagram Influencer.
