Support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/KhayyamSajid Maryam Raja is a photographer, social media influencer, and artist who became famous a few months ago for her twin-cities video on Instagram. Since then, her Instagram account has grown quickly. I invited her to 'All Over The Place' to talk about her journey and the mistakes she made, so new creators can learn from her and avoid making the same mistakes. We talked about the challenges creators face when making deals with brands. She shared how she reached 100k followers and the difficulties she faced as the first content creator in her family. Maryam also explained how she makes her unique reels and shared other interesting details. Watch the full podcast to learn more. Connect with me.
