The concept of monetising your Instagram account is something many fantasise about. Both familiar and alien to many of us, earning money from social media is a deceptively difficult dream.
However, there is one woman (plus her husband) who has made it a possibility for upwards of thirty thousand people.
Amber Venz Box is one half of a duo that facilitates the earnings of tens of thousands of influencers, most of whom are women. Having founded rewardStyle - parent to LIKEtoKNOW.it - in 2011 with her now-husband Baxter, the Dallas-native drove $1 billion in sales just last year.
Pregnant with her third child, and only 30 years-old, Venz Box has been listed on Forbes’ 30 Under 30, as Fast Co.'s 'Most Innovative', Fashion Group International's 'Innovator of the Year', one of Business of Fashion's 500 and Entrepreneur Magazine's '15 Female Entrepreneurs to Watch,' just to name a few of her accolades.
By using both the ‘like’ and screenshot functions, selected influencers, including Emma Louise Connolly and Lucy Williams in the UK, are directly profiting from the sales they drive.
An influencer herself, Venz Box has unique insight into Instagram entrepreneurship, so we asked her about her golden rules for social media and business success.
