I absolutely hate this part of my job.
I really wish that I was back in the good old days when all I had to do was try out extreme diets and ridiculous makeup fads in order to make a living.
A few years ago, people were chomping at the bit for me to try out their products and I had a never-ending onslaught of awesome products that I could sample anytime I wanted to. It was easy enough when I had to go to the gym, follow a specific regulatory diet, and track my overall fitness. It was no big deal when I had the newest, trendiest cosmetic procedures on my face. I enjoyed all of these things, and sharing them online was a breeze. Now, the world of being an influencer has gotten much more difficult. There are so many of us that strange industries are now trying to get involved in the influencer game.This is how I wound up becoming a heating, cooling, and ventilation influencer. I was running out of makeup companies to represent when a local air quality control dealership contacted me and offered me money to trial their various air temperature control appliances. If I gave honest reviews about the comfortable temperatures and improved air quality you achieved with their HVAC appliances, I could expect a steady paycheck from the HVAC dealership, along with plenty of free indoor air handling devices. This might be a good deal for some people, but I absolutely hate air conditioning. Every time I have to post an insta-story about my brand new air conditioning devices, it means a day of torture in my books. I’m glad I still have an income as an influencer, but I wish I could escape the HVAC industry.
