The Complete Guide to Becoming an Influencer — from A to Z — Volume 1 (Build, Publish, Get Found)

Volume 1 — Build, Publish, Get Found

502 typeset pages. The four opening texts, then chapters 1 to 72: what the profession really is and what it demands; how to choose a subject, an audience and a name; how to research your audience instead of guessing it; how to open and secure your accounts without becoming a platform’s prisoner; how to find ideas, write, film, edit and subtitle; what equipment, from an almost zero budget to a studio; eleven ecosystems examined one by one, with what each platform officially documents; how to build a community, get found without artificial growth, and finally produce your own figures.

What this book is

A complete method that treats influence as an economic activity: skills, contracts, obligations, risks — not a recipe for becoming famous.

What sets it apart

Everything it states was read at the source. Sixty official sources, each with its date of consultation: the terms of monetisation programmes, legal texts, decisions by authorities. When a platform publishes nothing, the book says so — and that is often the most useful information.

No promised income, no deadline, no follower threshold. The book teaches you to produce your own figures instead of believing other people’s.

Genuinely international coverage. Europe, North America, India and China are documented at the source; the regions that were not are named as such, with the method to document them yourself.

How every chapter is built

This volume contains

• the 4 opening texts and chapters 1 to 72;
• the bibliography of the 60 sources, with the chapters that cite them;
• the index to both volumes, by chapter.

This volume does not contain the 22 appendices — media kit, rate card, proposal, invoice, crisis plan, pre-publication checklist: they are in Volume 2, because they belong to the steps it covers.
