What happened when a scooter trickster traded his wheels for headphones
Dexter Williams is a social media influencer who has transitioned from scooter tricks to DJing. His latest track, "Let It Go", has been picked up by Jax Jones' label, WUGD.
Social media has taken over the world. We wake up and scroll through our feed, go to bed and scroll through our feed. We're constantly being bombarded with pictures, videos, and ads. And yet, we can't get enough. Social media has become an addiction and a huge part of our lives. But one thing people don't realize is that social media is also a business. People are making money from us by selling our data and attention. And the most popular people on social media are the ones who are making the most money. They're called influencers.
Influencers have a large following who can influence their audiences to buy things, support causes, or change their behaviour. They're often young, attractive, and successful. And they make a lot of money. Some of them make millions of dollars a year. But how do they do it?
The answer is marketing. Influencers are brilliant marketers. They know how to sell themselves and their products. They use social media to create an image people want to buy into. And they're very good at it.
But there's another side to influencers that people don't see. They're always on the lookout for new opportunities to make money. They're always hustling, always promoting something new. And they're always trying to grow their following to make even more money. So while they might seem like they have their life together, they're actually just like everyone else: trying to make a living and pay their bills.
