We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Meaghan Hilliard a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Meaghan, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Let’s start with the story of your mission. What should we know?
I started my Instagram page as a hobby and it turned into something truly special. I ann a very passionate content creator 5 years later and enjoy everything about content creating and my mission is to share the products and brands I absolutely love with my friends, family and incredible audience. My mission is to show many get ready with me videos and texture shots of all the skincare I believe in! I also love to share all the great fashion and clothing brands I enjoy as well as jewelry and shoes. My mission is to keeping growing and keep postive and inspiring others.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
I was born and raised in the state of Georgia and have been on both IG and TikTok for 5 years. My favorite hobby of taking photos and videos became my actual job and I couldn’t be more grateful and happy! I enjoy everything about it from talking about my favorite products and sharing them with my audience to talking to other creators and brands by sharing ideas and just connecting with one another. I’m also a mother of 2 teenagers who are my entire world. I get alot of support from all my fellow creator friends, brands and friends and family.
I have 2 dogs who were rescued who I love like children. I have a sweet pitbull (who thinks she’s a lap puppy) named Skyler. She’s 3 years old. My other dog is a princess named Molly. She’s very spoiled and has been my dog for almost 10 years. She’s my sweet girl and I love animals very much.
I also have a girl bunny rabbit who a year old. I just love everything about animals as well as nature.
I love adventures and travel! I’m always on the go and enjoying life, friends and family. I stay positive and push myself and others to stay motivated and focused while also finding time to relax and enjoy good food, music and life in general.
How did you build your audience on social media?
I started building my IG page by connecting with brands and other creators. I posted consistently and constantly and always engaged on everything I post. I have made so many amazing friends and have a great connecting with brands and my fans.
My biggest advice is not to think about it too much when filming. It will all come together at the end. Be natural. Be yourself. Stay consistent and always connect and engage with your brands and fans.
How’d you think through whether to sell directly on your own site or through a platform like Amazon, Etsy, Cratejoy, etc.
I do make affiliate marketing sales on my pages. I post about the products I love and enjoy and if someone uses my discount code I get a commission. It’s a great way to make a little extra money sharing things I actually love and enjoy!
