We’re looking forward to introducing you to Amanda Mitseff. Check out our conversation below.
Hi Amanda, thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to share your story, experiences and insights with our readers. Let’s jump right in with an interesting one: What are you chasing, and what would happen if you stopped?
For six years, I have been really pushing to grow on social media. We have all known for a long time that there is money to be made online and that is something I have been pouring into for quite some time. Since I am learning from trial and error… It’s a fluctuating process, but I have learned so much. Anytime anyone ask me how I have grown on social media… The one thing I always say is stay consistent! No matter how discouraged you feel, don’t give up. Social media is one of those things that could make you feel irrelevant if you’re not getting the response you want right away… But it’s also one of those things that takes time to grow organically. Now my Youtube has over 137,000+ subscribers and I am even making new channels since I have figured out the algorithm. I am monetized on all platforms and finally getting results. DO NOT GIVE UP ON THE THINGS YOU REALLY WANT!
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I’m Mandy and I am an online influencer, real estate investor, and soon to be Group Fitness Instructor. I have been working with brands online and collaborating with companies through my social media sites for many years. Even with not being able to stick to a niche, simply showing up and staying consistent online has brought me SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES! I also have multiple rentals bringing in passive income and will set us up in the future. I am in the process of becoming a group fitness instructor because I want to bring fun energy to my community. I will also leverage the fitness class into my fitness social media accounts to continue that growth too. Staying consistent and never backing down even after failures has lead to my success.
Appreciate your sharing that. Let’s talk about your life, growing up and some of topics and learnings around that. Who saw you clearly before you could see yourself?
My husband Bill Mitseff is the real creator here. He bought me my first tripod, ring light, camera, and everything I needed to become an influencer. He knew I had a gift before I even knew I had a gift. As I continue to grow and see results, my husband is always in the background being my cheerleader, even when I fail. Having someone to push you to become a better you is so important in life. If I didn’t have him to continuously cheer me on, and grow a lot on his own… I don’t know where I would be.
Was there ever a time you almost gave up?
Oh yeah!!!! When it comes to social media… You can imagine there are a bunch of trolls and bullies. I get so many mean comments on my YouTube all the time. You really have to be mentally strong if you want to grow on social media. Because the better you do… The more the trolls come out to try to bring you down. But I try to use that as fuel to keep me going.
Sure, so let’s go deeper into your values and how you think. Is the public version of you the real you?
Yes. When it comes to social media, I do feel like people try to make themselves appear a certain way. That’s one thing that you can see on my social media platforms, especially Tiktok… That I am very transparent and very real. You see parts of me and things that normal people are probably not posting on the Internet. I try to be very relatable because I feel like that’s actually what social media is lacking. I show my flaws with pride and try to really connect with my audience.
Before we go, we’d love to hear your thoughts on some longer-run, legacy type questions. What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?
I really hope when I’m gone people will remember me for being silly, open, passionate, and always making moves. I want to be remembered for making people laugh, and being a hard worker. I hope I taught someone something new and brought joy to their life in some way.
