Why Did Jet Write This Book?
We all have a certain influence on people around us. Whether that's people following us, close friends, people that see us around; we all have an influence on whoever consumes our content. That's why I started the movement #whatinfluence, what are we actually sharing with our audiences? And can we change the way we influence others? This book looks both at the perspective of the audience and the influencer.
Exposing the ‘dirt’ behind the influencer industry to explain why being a social media influencer is not always rainbows and butterflies. Educating all youngsters and teens who dream of becoming an influencer for the real deal. And reviewing how this industry affects the influencers negatively and what an influencer actually is.
Moreover, social media has been proven to impact everyone’s brain and mental health. In this book, we look at the specifics of social media and neuroscience, neurons, social influence, addiction, depression and teens, self-help, anxiety and other mental health problems that arise from social media. Mental health awareness is a key motivation why Jet wrote this book.
Travelling the world while working from your laptop is not just possible for influencers. Jet’s story will hopefully inspire you to chase your dreams too! As we also break down all the ways you can work online without needing followers or a social presence. So you can live that laptop lifestyle without suffering from the heavyweight of social media.

Influencer market is ever growing, thanks to social media revolution. Nowadays every millennial wants to become an influencer on social media but the problem lies in what happens behind the scenes in the life of an influencer. Hardly any influencer provides a complete picture of this industry hence many are misguided by the influencer thinking that its an easy way to live a prosperous life.
Psychological impact of Social Media is now being investigated and the likes, follower's rat race creates immense psychological pressure on the influencer or aspirants who intend becoming an influencer.
Jet Mar herself an influencer lays down threadbare analysis of the influencer industry and its pros and cons.
This is an excellent book for anyone who wants to become an influencer and does not know how to do it and its problems (which are never mentioned by Influencers).
