Still think being an influencer isn’t a real job? Think again.
I recently attended a Diwali party where I met influencers with 10K to 200K followers.

Some are making hundreds of dollars per collaboration. Others are charging thousands for a single reel.
Welcome to 2026, where your Instagram account can be a legitimate business.
As a CPA, here’s what interests me even more: It’s not just about how much you make. It’s about how much you keep after taxes.
Content creation is a business. Treat it like one.
