How I Finally Turned My Influence Into Income with YouMentor.Me

Hey beauties! 💕 It’s Christy here, and I want to get real with you for a second.

I love creating content. From my daily makeup looks to behind-the-scenes vlogs and even my chaotic “help me pick a dress!” try-on hauls — my DMs have always been full of questions. Things like:

• “Which foundation should I use for oily skin?”

• “Do you think this outfit works for a first date?”

• “How did you decide to become a full-time influencer?”

• “Should I take that job or go back to school?”

I love helping people — it’s literally why I started this journey in the first place. But here’s the thing: having thousands of followers doesn’t automatically mean you’re making money. And as much as I adore chatting with you all, answering DMs and giving personalized advice takes time — time I wasn’t getting paid for.

That’s where YouMentor.Me came in and changed everything.

What is YouMentor.Me?

YouMentor.Me is a genius platform that connects influencers and creators with their followers in a way that actually makes sense — both for us and for you. It allows people to ask us personalized questions — whether it’s about beauty, fashion, career, lifestyle — and we can respond with thoughtful, helpful advice. And yes, it’s paid. But honestly? It’s so worth it.

Think of it as a way to get your favorite influencer’s advice, just like texting your super stylish, glam best friend who always knows what looks good and what decision to make.

How It Helped Me Monetize My Influence

Before YouMentor.Me, I was relying mostly on brand deals and the occasional affiliate link. But let’s be real — those income streams can be super inconsistent. Now, I have a steady way to earn from doing what I’m already passionate about: helping my followers make confident decisions.

And the best part? The connection feels more personal than ever. Instead of answering the same question 100 times in my DMs, I can give thoughtful, tailored advice to someone who genuinely values my opinion. Whether it’s helping someone pick the right lipstick for their wedding day or talking through a career pivot, I feel like I’m actually making a difference.

For My Fellow Influencers…

If you’re in the same boat I was — tons of followers, loads of love, but struggling to turn that into something sustainable — please do yourself a favor and check out YouMentor.Me. It’s not about charging for every interaction. It’s about creating a space where your time, energy, and expertise are valued.

We all have something to offer. If people are coming to you for advice, that means they trust you. YouMentor.Me simply gives you a way to give back and build your business at the same time.

So yeah, I’m officially a mentor now 😉
Let’s make better choices together.

Xoxo,
Christy
