From Farm Girl to Instagram Star: The Story of Rosanna Arkle
Humble BeginningsGrowing up in rural New Zealand, Rosanna Arkle, now 28, had no aspirations of becoming an Instagram sensation. However, after relocating to the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia, eight years ago, she has amassed over three million followers on the social media platform.
The Power of Photography
Arkle says she always had a passion for photography. When she moved to Australia, she was cast in a reality TV show called "The GC," which chronicled the lives of New Zealanders living and working in Australia. She believes her appearance on the show helped her expand her reach and gain more attention on social media.
Building a Fortune
By leveraging her online presence, the bikini model has built a small fortune. "I bought my first home on the Gold Coast, which has always been my end goal," she says. "And social media allows me to travel home to New Zealand to see my family as often as I want."
Essential Tips
Arkle emphasizes the importance of investing in a good digital camera with Wi-Fi capabilities, which allows her to send photos directly to her phone for easy posting. Additionally, she recommends posting at "prime time," which she considers to be between 6:30 pm and 9:00 pm or in the morning. Engaging with followers by asking them questions can help determine if their comments are genuine.
Beyond the Fame
Despite her Instagram fame, Arkle insists that her lifestyle is not much different from other social media earners. "During the week, I walk my dog, go to the gym, cook dinner, and watch Netflix," she says.
Earning Potential
When questioned about how Instagram stars generate income, Arkle explains, "It really depends on how many followers you have, but a very general rule of thumb is 0.1% of your current followers."
