We Wanted To Dive Deeper Into Bethany And Her Background, Here’s What She Had To Say:
Cox: Why did you want to become an influencer?
Bethany: I actually never actively sought out influencing, it kind of just… happened. But I ran with it! I don’t know, I think that having a platform like this is such a privilege. It’s something so many people want to do but very few can. So I decided to pursue it, because I know that I am someone who will use my platform for something other than my own benefit.
Cox: Why is your content unique?
Bethany: It’s unique because I switch up my content frequently! I’ve done POVs, acting videos, singing videos, impressions, drinking games…. To name a few. Sticking to the same niche is boring, and I want people who follow me for me and not my content.
Cox: What led to the success of your influencer career?
Bethany: Without my drinking games, I would be nowhere! Which is quite ironic, because my audience is way too young to be using actual drinks! My most viewed video is a drinking game for the movie The Kissing Booth, at 3.8M views and 850K likes.
Cox: What are your goals for the future?
Bethany: Anything, as long as I’m creating! Influencing, acting, recording music, and teaching are all on my radar. You can never have too many interests.
Cox: What is your favorite part of being an influencer?
Bethany: Making connections! There’s so many people I’ve met through social media that I never would’ve had the opportunity to connect with otherwise. It’s also awesome to just be able to share my art and creations with an audience.
Cox: What is your least part of being an influencer?
Bethany: Probably the stress that comes with being active and “on” all the time. Sometimes it becomes a bit hard to differentiate the real world from the social media world that we also live in. It’s hard to accept that it’s okay to take a break when I need it!
