How a fence salesman created Instagram hit Influencers in the Wild

"Ten years ago, this person would have been looked at as an alien, and you'd be like, 'What the hell is this person doing?' But today, it's just perfectly normal." Resch declined to specify how much he earns from the platforms — he does around four sponsored posts across his accounts each month — but together with income from a Snapchat series featuring Influencers in the Wild clips, it adds up to "a good living," he said. "I have to ration the content," said Resch, adding that he receives a steady stream of submissions, although not all of them are visually strong enough to make the cut.Influencers featured by Resch can see a boost on their own accounts: a post of Elvis Lopeti shooting a clip of himself gyrating on the beach generated between three and five times the normal number of views after Influencers in the Wild highlighted the micro-influencer.But for creators seeking that Wild bump, Resch has some counterintuitive advice.
