Merissa [00:00:10]:
Howdy and welcome to the little home dwelling present. This channel is for these making an attempt to stay an easier, slower, and more economical life. My identify is Marissa, and I will likely be your host and your pal as we journey alongside collectively, different to seek out new suggestions and recommendation in addition to a lot of encouragement you. Hey guys. Welcome again to the podcast. I’m so excited that you simply’ve determined to hitch me at the moment. I believe at the moment’s matter goes to be actually attention-grabbing, and it’s simply one thing that’s been on my coronary heart for some time to speak about. And so we’re going to get into it at the moment.
Merissa [00:00:52]:
We’re going to speak about influencers, we’re going to speak about adverts, we’re going to speak about purchasing. So, yeah, let’s simply dive proper in. So I need to preface this episode by saying that I don’t assume there’s something mistaken with influencers earning money or individuals earning money off of adverts. Clearly, on Little Home Residing, that’s our major supply of earnings from the weblog is adverts. We’re probably not going to speak about adverts at the moment. We’re going to particularly discuss movies and influencers. However I simply needed to say that I don’t assume there’s something mistaken with it. I believe that it’s simply clever for us to concentrate on what’s occurring after we watch these movies and the way we’re actually being influenced in our day after day and purchasing selections.
Merissa [00:01:40]:
So I assume I additionally needed to say I don’t think about myself an influencer. I really feel like that may be a extra fashionable time period and there’s people who use it in several methods. I’d think about myself a content material creator, somebody that has been writing and making content material for the aim of training or informing. I don’t actually do that stuff that’s simply entertaining. And undoubtedly my major factor is to not discuss manufacturers and merchandise except it’s one thing that I actually love. So one factor that I’ve at all times achieved on the weblog is that I actually haven’t talked about loads of manufacturers. I haven’t labored with very many manufacturers, and that has simply been a private resolution. I need to be sure that something that I discuss on the weblog is one thing that we now have already used, we’ve already examined.
Merissa [00:02:30]:
It’s one thing we really get pleasure from utilizing. I’d by no means suggest a product that’s simply one thing I’m simply getting paid to suggest and never one thing that we even have loads of expertise with. Okay, so with that out of the best way, first, I needed to begin by simply why we search for affect and why we’re form of pulled into these movies that the influencers make. And I believe one of many causes is as a result of we’re form of not sure about our personal selections. Like, is that this what I really need my lounge to appear to be, or is that this the way it ought to look? Am I lacking one thing? I’m simply actually unsure of my resolution. And so I really feel like I’m going to go surfing and I’m going to look lounge inspiration and take a look at to determine what different individuals are doing as a result of I’m simply unsure which furnishings I want to purchase or the place my decor must go. So I’m going to go forward and look that up and that form of goes into the following factor is simply wanting inspiration. So there’s nothing mistaken with wanting inspiration.
Merissa [00:03:35]:
I believe that’s form of how a few of our actually good concepts can come about is simply seeing somebody, seeing their image, seeing their video and being impressed and desirous to do a model of that your self. However that’s one thing that we search for after we’re looking. An influencer is the inspiration as a result of we’re simply unsure of what resolution that we must always make. And likewise we’re simply form of nosy we need to know what different individuals are doing, what their homes appear to be and the merchandise that they’re utilizing and see if we’re lacking out on one thing. It form of all comes again to that. Like, are we lacking on the market’s a lot on the market? Is there one thing that we’re lacking out on that might simplify our life or change it for the higher or that everyone else is doing that we’re simply not conscious of? What’s that that we’re lacking out on and the place can we discover that? So these are form of, I believe a number of the major explanation why we flip to influencers and in addition the influencers are simply in entrance of us on a regular basis. I imply, you may’t go surfing anymore with out being bombarded by TikTok movies and YouTube movies they usually’re all influencers or someone that’s making an attempt to get their message out in entrance of you, whether or not that be a message a few product or model or one thing instructional. So I needed to present a few stats.
Merissa [00:04:55]:
I don’t learn about you guys, I’m a stats individual and I really like stats. So I discovered a pair that I believed have been actually attention-grabbing. The primary one is put out by the Digital Advertising and marketing Institute they usually did a examine that exhibits that 49% of shoppers depend upon influencer suggestions. So for me, after I learn that stat, the key phrase was depend upon influencer suggestions. Now we’re going into a bit bit scary territory there. It’s okay to be impressed and it’s okay to see what’s on the market, however to depend upon an influencer suggestion to resolve what you’re going to purchase, that a bit bit to me is crossing the road into me not making my very own resolution on one thing after we’re depending on that suggestion. All proper, the second stat is it comes from Matter Communications they usually additionally did a examine about influencer advertising they usually discovered that 82% of individuals belief their social networks to information their buying selections. That could be a large proportion of people who need to social media.
Merissa [00:06:05]:
So that’s Fb or Instagram, in all probability. YouTube is taken into account a social community on this, however that’s greater than 75% of the inhabitants. I’m assuming these research are US inhabitants. I couldn’t discover any stats that stated, however I’d simply guess that they’re in all probability US inhabitants. However 82% of individuals belief their social networks to information their buying selections. In order that’s a considerable amount of individuals which can be being influenced. And I’d say that didn’t specify if it’s simply from influencers or if that was simply form of your social the individuals that you’ve in your social community as properly which can be influencing that call. However anyway, that’s one thing to think about.
Merissa [00:06:52]:
I believe that’s an enormous statistic, an enormous proportion. After which lastly additionally they had that. 60% of shoppers have been influenced by social media whereas purchasing at a retailer. So the rationale that this one stood out to me was that they’re speaking about you being in a retailer and also you’re deciding what to purchase. You’re wanting all of the cabinets. 60% of individuals which can be in that place within the retailer have been influenced by social media to purchase what they’re going to purchase on the retailer that day. That’s fairly large. We’re form of placing our selections into another person’s palms.
Merissa [00:07:30]:
And that’s wonderful if it’s one thing that you simply really need and one thing you are feeling like you really want to purchase. However shopping for it simply since you’ve been influenced by your social media or by influencers to purchase it simply since you acknowledge it whenever you’re on the retailer and also you’re like, oh, hey, so and so simply confirmed that of their video final week they usually have been speaking about how that is the most effective model ever and I simply must have it. I’m probably not certain the place I’m going to place it after I get residence, however I’ve to have this as a result of I noticed someone utilizing it. That’s a big proportion of shoppers which have been influenced whereas they’re within the retailer and seeing these merchandise. So let’s transfer into simply why simply speaking about these adverts and about these merchandise that we’re seeing in movies. So why don’t we notice that these are adverts so we will see just like the adverts that I’ve on Little Home Loving, you already know that these are adverts. They’re obnoxious, they’re on the facet, they’re flashing an image of some shoe that’s on sale or no matter. Everyone knows that that’s an advert.
Merissa [00:08:33]:
We’ve been conditioned to know what adverts appear to be and to form of block them out in our minds. If we see an advert on TV, we all know that it’s an advert as a result of it’s in a business break from the present that we have been watching. These are actually clear that these are adverts. The issue with adverts from influencers is that you simply don’t at all times know that it’s an advert as a result of they’re not at all times clear that they’re being paid to speak about that product. So let’s say you’re watching some influencer that you simply watch. They arrive out with a brand new video each week and also you at all times watch that video they usually’re speaking about this explicit form of scarf, and the headscarf is superb they usually simply discovered it they usually’re so excited and on and on and on. However what isn’t at all times clear is that that was in all probability, except they’re disclosing that it’s not that it was in all probability a paid advert they usually obtained that scarf, they obtained compensation to speak about that scarf, which, as I discussed at first, nothing mistaken with that. That’s completely wonderful.
Merissa [00:09:37]:
The corporate is paying somebody to promote their product for them. That’s completely wonderful. What’s not wonderful is when it’s not clear that that was an commercial. And so they’ll undergo this complete video the place they’re speaking about, right here’s how I’m going to make use of this scarf, and right here’s the alternative ways you are able to do it. And all of these items till you’re so influenced by that video and simply pondering, I don’t even understand how I might ever presumably stay with out this scarf. Like, I’ve to have it. Effectively, you should utilize this scarf as a handbag whenever you go to the shop. And I’ve at all times wanted a shawl that was a handbag.
Merissa [00:10:11]:
I’m being a bit bit foolish right here and simply form of arising with an instance. However you already know what I’m speaking about. You’ve seen the movies the place individuals are doing that they usually simply form of go to the intense to speak about this product and it’s this new factor available on the market. However they’re not being clear in disclosing that they’re being paid to speak about that product, which, like I stated, completely nothing mistaken with that. It’s in opposition to FTC tips to not disclose that you’re being paid for a product. You should discuss that you simply’re being paid for a product even when it’s simply an affiliate hyperlink. In order that simply means not essentially getting paid simply to speak about that product, but when somebody clicks in your hyperlink after which they buy groceries by way of your hyperlink, then you definately’re going to earn a proportion of the sale. All of that stuff must be disclosed simply in order that the buyer is aware of.
Merissa [00:11:04]:
You guys know that whenever you’re taking a look at it, the influencer, the content material creator, whoever it’s, is getting paid for this hyperlink. Nothing mistaken with them getting paid for the hyperlink or for the advert or something, however it simply must be very clear. And the reason being that may allow you to make the most effective resolution. Okay? When you see a video that’s speaking about selling a product and it’s not clear that they’ve been paid to do this, then you definately’re simply pondering, wow, they only discovered this product and it’s so superb and I ought to exit and test it out. However should you can see that they have been being paid to advertise that product, then it helps so that you can know that you simply in all probability have to perform a little bit extra due diligence, look into the product and resolve if it’s an excellent match for you. That might be trying out different critiques on the product, checking about totally different shopper experiences on the product to see if it’s really one thing that’s good, doing a bit little bit of historical past into the corporate that’s promoting it. How lengthy have they been round? Have they got different critiques? Are there different critiques on their web site all paid? Or are you able to simply test Amazon to see in the event that they’ve obtained some critiques on the market that truly aren’t from paid sources? As a result of that’s one other factor. Fully separate.
Merissa [00:12:19]:
Facet observe, however in case you are on somebody’s web site, should you’re on a model’s web site and also you see some product and the entire critiques are 5 stars, be very cautious of that product as a result of these are in all probability paid critiques or the corporate is simply deleting the unfavorable critiques. So all you see is the great critiques. However particularly should you’re making a giant resolution on a product that’s dearer, undoubtedly do extra analysis quite than simply watching one influencer’s video on why this product is superb earlier than you make that call to purchase and I’ve talked about this, I’m simply on to my subsequent level is why is that this a difficulty? Is simply because that creates an inauthenticity with the video you’re watching since you don’t actually know except you are feeling that you would be able to actually belief that individual. And typically it’s laborious to know should you can belief an influencer or not, however except you actually know that you would be able to belief that individual, how have you learnt that their overview of no matter product it was, was legit? Or in the event that they’re simply saying good issues as a result of they obtained paid by the corporate to say good issues concerning the product. So right here’s what I discovered as a content material creator, as somebody that has labored with some manufacturers previously, is that should you attempt a product and also you’re actually trustworthy and also you return to the corporate and say, I didn’t like this, do you continue to need me to place up my overview on it? Or how would you want me to do that if it’s a paid overview? That’s what I’m speaking about. When you’re simply reviewing a product since you need to, that’s one thing utterly totally different. However I’ve had that occur the place an organization has despatched me a product and I didn’t prefer it. I simply was like, I’m utterly trustworthy with my readers.
Merissa [00:14:06]:
I didn’t like this product. So if I’m going to place up a overview like I agreed to do, it’s going to be my trustworthy opinion on why I didn’t like this product. And the corporate often comes again and says, no, please don’t try this. We don’t need your overview anymore. And they’ll now not pay you, clearly, since you’re not going to advertise their product for them. However the issue is that we’ve gotten into such a spot the place individuals are similar to they think about being an influencer, their job. And so to do their job. They must generate profits they usually’re going to only attempt these merchandise they usually need the corporate to pay them.
Merissa [00:14:47]:
Like I stated, I discovered should you’re being trustworthy and also you actually didn’t just like the product, the corporate isn’t going to pay you to speak about that product. Which is ok, that’s their resolution. However should you’re seeing a optimistic overview on each single product that some influencer is making an attempt I’d be a bit bit extra cautious about watching their movies. As a result of to me, that simply says someone that’s simply making an attempt to receives a commission for product critiques and isn’t actually making an attempt them for an trustworthy, real opinion. And so they’re simply I hate to say that they’re simply in it for the cash, as a result of I’m certain that’s not the case each time, however it form of actually might really feel that approach should you’re seeing a optimistic overview after optimistic overview. The opposite factor that may be occurring with that is that the influencer might be making deceptive claims to spice up clicks to the product. So whenever you work with a model as a content material creator and as an influencer, they typically are far more joyful clearly to see that you’re getting clicks to their web site, that your readers, that your followers are clicking over to their web site, clicking to purchase their product. There’s a sale occurring, there’s a sale occurring after they’re watching the video from the influencer.
Merissa [00:16:06]:
So loads of instances there could be loads of deceptive claims in a video which can be made by an influencer or by a creator as a result of they need to increase these clicks to the sponsor’s web site. So they may simply say that is essentially the most superb factor, it’s important to test it out and it’s important to click on by way of this hyperlink for extra info. And the rationale that they do that’s as a result of it’s going to look higher on their finish after they return to the model and say, look it, we generated all these clicks and now you may pay us for one more marketing campaign. As a result of our marketing campaign was so profitable and we obtained all these individuals to click on over to take a look at this product or to purchase this product or no matter. So on their finish it appears to be like rather a lot higher after they’re getting much more clicks and naturally they’ll get much more clicks and much more visitors to the model’s web site in the event that they’re actually speaking up this product and perhaps making some deceptive claims as a result of they need individuals to go over to that. It’s simply one thing to concentrate on whenever you’re watching the movies and seeing merchandise marketed. That’s simply one thing that like I stated at first, it’s not a nasty factor that they’re making an attempt to generate profits doing what they’re doing, which is soliciting an commercial. However when it’s deceptive, when it’s inauthentic or when it’s simply optimistic overview simply to make a optimistic overview simply to generate profits, these are just a few issues to concentrate on.
Merissa [00:17:34]:
Okay, so I simply need to contact a bit bit on why we’re so influenced by these movies and why we’re making selections primarily based off of what we’re seeing. And I’m certain that there might be a bunch of research achieved on this and it might be actually attention-grabbing to see the outcomes. However right here’s what I believe. I believe that we’re seeing different individuals’s lives as a result of we will see them on video, however they don’t see ours. So we’re forming this relationship with somebody, however it’s very one sided. So when you’ve got a relationship like that, there’s not going to be a really balanced scale in your friendship as a result of all you’re seeing is all of their stuff and your pal or not your pal, the influencer, they’re not seeing you. They’re not seeing the place you’re at. They will’t relate to the life that you simply’re dwelling.
Merissa [00:18:25]:
They will’t relate to your finances, they’ll’t know what your house appears to be like like. And so initially, we now have this unbalanced scale and we really feel the necessity to sustain with them as a result of that’s what we’re seeing on a regular basis. Like we’re consistently watching movies and consuming that form of media and in order that’s what we’re seeing. So the scales aren’t balanced. They’re not seeing your life. They might not understand how you reside, they could not know your state of affairs. And so these scales will not be balanced. After which the following factor is, if we stay in that on-line world, after we stay in that on-line world, we really feel the necessity to sustain with our friends.
Merissa [00:19:05]:
As a result of in our thoughts, we’re simply pondering, okay, this influencer that I’m watching, that is my peer. As a result of that is whose life I’m in on a regular basis, as a result of I’m watching their movies. And we’re at all times going to really feel the necessity to sustain with the Joneses, proper? Prefer it’s at all times a relentless battle that we’re going to have in our lives, whether or not that be the individuals subsequent door or your pals at church or something, we’re at all times going to really feel that. However sometimes after we make associates in actual life, they’re associates that we now have on the identical degree as us. Like we’re simply form of in many various existence. Socioeconomic, we’re on the identical degree as our associates are. However after we see an influencer, I’m not saying that they’re on a petter degree, this isn’t popping out fairly proper, however anyway, we see their world and their world is totally totally different than the world that we now have in our personal properties, in our personal bubbles. And so it’s actually laborious to not have a look at that and really feel like we have to sustain with it.
Merissa [00:20:03]:
So I’m going to present you an instance right here, and I’ll admit this can be a little bit painful of an instance for me to present, however it does present how all of us are influenced by influencers and YouTubers and people who we see on-line. Okay, so three years in the past, we moved to our home, we purchased a chunk of land, there was nothing on it we have been going to must construct. There’s loads of YouTubers on the market which have achieved the identical factor. They’ve purchased a chunk of land, they’ve constructed their homestead and I’ll admit that I’m a YouTube watcher and so I steadily watch these sorts of movies and as we began engaged on our home and constructing it and I’ve talked about this earlier than, however it was simply me and my husband that constructed our home. We didn’t have outdoors assist in addition to a couple of associates right here and there that will assist with like a giant day after we have been elevating a wall or one thing like that. We didn’t have assist, it was simply the 2 of us and we have been making an attempt to construct our home with simply the money that we had. So we have been fairly dedicated to not getting a development mortgage on the home. We did get a mortgage for the land after which we simply needed to construct our home with the money that we had.
Merissa [00:21:13]:
So about six months into the construct that money ran out. We had some money saved from a enterprise sale that we had beforehand achieved. Money ran out and so it was wonderful. We have been simply caught on we’d generate profits every month after which no matter further that we had, we might proceed engaged on our home. So flash ahead to a few years later and my home is de facto simply getting completed up now as a result of it takes time and it takes cash. However I’d watch these individuals on YouTube and I’d see them constructing their homesteads and I’d watch them construct these massive barns and these lovely greenhouses and exquisite gardens and raised beds and all of this infrastructure and stuff. And I felt so dangerous about myself and concerning the place that we have been in. And I simply saved pondering, if we simply had extra money, then we’d be capable to do all of these items, too, and have it constructed instantly and actually get into this and have this massive barn and all of this livestock and all that.
Merissa [00:22:17]:
And I felt myself getting actually sucked into these movies and it obtained to the purpose the place I needed to cease. I needed to cease watching the movies as a result of I used to be disheartened by what I’d see as a result of I simply couldn’t sustain with that. After which to go alongside these strains on the opposite facet is like I’m a content material creator too, however I’m not capable of put out the form of content material that they’re as a result of we don’t have the cash to have the ability to do these sorts of issues. And so it was each like a success on my private degree after which a success on my skilled degree too. Nevertheless it was simply actually irritating as a result of that’s what I’d see each week, this YouTuber that was homesteading, they’d construct a brand new greenhouse or they’d end this backyard part or no matter it was. And right here it’s taken us three years simply to complete up our home as a result of we have been restricted by the finances and by time. We don’t have a bunch of individuals working for us. And so we have been simply restricted.
Merissa [00:23:22]:
And I’d neglect that I ought to have saved these issues in thoughts. Like, for one, in all probability a bunch of these individuals have been getting sponsored by loads of these locations that they have been speaking about these constructing firms or these merchandise that they have been placing of their properties that have been extra lovely or dearer than what I might afford in mine. And I did not keep in mind that after I was watching these movies. I’d simply get annoyed that I simply wasn’t on that degree. And the way might we stand up to that degree? Like, how ought to we plan our days the place we could be doing these issues too? And I lastly needed to notice that these individuals are not my friends. I’m not on their degree. I’m not getting paid to do any of these issues. We’re doing the most effective we will with what we now have, and that is our life and never their life.
Merissa [00:24:14]:
And anyway, I simply needed to present you that instance as a way to see how straightforward it’s simply to be sucked into that. Even on I don’t really feel like homesteaders must be on an influencer degree, however they completely are. And so I’d really feel left behind in our homesteading journey as a result of I wasn’t capable of do the identical issues as different individuals have been doing. And lengthy story quick, I went on to comprehend that there was issues that they have been doing that I wouldn’t need to do anyway. They only weren’t a part of our journey, didn’t must be a part of our story. Nevertheless it does go to point out that everyone is influenced by these influencers, as a result of that’s what we see. We don’t go over to our pal’s home and be like, hey, what did you construct this week? What did you spend your cash on this week? What did you purchase on the grocery retailer this week? We don’t try this. I imply, I assume you would perhaps with a few of your pals, however we sometimes don’t try this.
Merissa [00:25:12]:
However we’re seeing these individuals they usually’re sharing all these movies of their hauls and their unboxing and all that form of stuff, and we neglect to comprehend that they’re simply getting paid to speak about that form of factor. And so they didn’t exit and spend their meager clothes finances on that stunning haul field that they introduced on this week that they ordered on-line. They obtained that from the corporate. And so I shouldn’t really feel like I’m behind or that I have to go spend cash on it as a result of that’s simply I’m not getting a bunch of stuff from that firm. I’ve to exit and spend my hard-earned cash on that product. Okay, so let’s form of wrap this up. We’re getting a bit bit lengthy. Hopefully you’ve loved a few of my rambling or a few of it has been useful for you, or perhaps your eyes are being opened a bit bit at the moment.
Merissa [00:26:03]:
Both approach, hopefully this podcast has been attention-grabbing. So I need to shut out by speaking about how we will fight this mind-set. As a result of all of us which can be consuming some form of on-line media are going to be influenced by this sooner or later or one other. And it’s not one thing that’s going to finish influencer advertising and internet marketing. That’s not one thing that’s going to vary. However we will change the best way that we view it and the best way that we give it some thought. So one of many greatest issues is simply that we now have to spend extra time offline than on-line. And that doesn’t at all times imply that we now have to exit on the planet and do issues, however choose up a paper e book as an alternative of studying one on-line or listening to someone discuss a e book on-line.
Merissa [00:26:51]:
Simply attempt to spend a bit bit extra time each day offline in the actual world, in your world bubble, like in your group, in your neighborhood, than you’re spending on-line with the influencers that may make an actual distinction. And that goes with my subsequent level, which is spending extra time with actual individuals, actual individuals which can be your friends, which can be on the identical ranges as you might be, that share your identical struggles and will not be shy about sharing their struggles and the place they’re at in life. Quite a lot of instances after we see influencers and folks on-line, they appear to be they’ve this lovely, shiny, excellent, aesthetically pleasing life and it’s not actual. It’s all we see on-line as a result of we simply see their photos, we simply see their movies. We’re not in these properties and we’re not connecting head to head on a special degree with these individuals. However should you spend time with actual individuals, with your pals, with your loved ones, then you’ll join extra with individuals which can be exhibiting you their actual life and being real with you. All proper, so then simply being assured in our finances, that was one thing that, like I stated in my final instance, I struggled with. I used to be annoyed that I didn’t have what was a seemingly limitless finances like loads of these different homesteaders did.
Merissa [00:28:17]:
However I needed to come to the conclusion that, you already know what, we’re working actually laborious for what we now have and that’s all that we will do. It’s not one thing to be depressed about. Like, all of us have a special finances and we’re all on totally different degree earnings clever. But when we’re doing the most effective that we will with what we now have, then that’s all that issues. It doesn’t matter what someone else’s finances is for his or her kitchen transform or no matter. When you solely have a few redo your kitchen, you may completely do the most effective that you’ve with. That. Nevertheless it doesn’t assist to match ourselves to what we see on-line as a result of they don’t have the identical finances that we do.
Merissa [00:28:58]:
After which simply to shut it out, simply being grateful for what we now have in the USA. We’re so blessed and we now have a lot right here and we’re typically simply don’t take the time to cease and be glad about the issues that we do have. So, like in my instance that I gave you earlier than, I’d get annoyed that I didn’t have this massive, lovely Victorian type greenhouse or no matter it was that I used to be jealous over that week. However I’ve a greenhouse. It’s not fairly, it’s not the costliest factor that we might construct, however it’s completely useful. It’s one thing that was achievable for us. It was one thing that we might do. And so with that, I’m so grateful for what I’ve as a result of I couldn’t have that factor.
Merissa [00:29:47]:
I couldn’t have that greenhouse. I couldn’t have the issues that I do have. And so it helps to take time each single day simply to be glad about the issues that we do have and to understand what we’ve been given and never take into consideration what we haven’t been given or what we don’t have. That’s at all times simply going to create a nasty vibe. I’m unsure what the appropriate phrase is, however emotions of discontent. So we don’t need to try this.
