I Asked an Influencer How To Get Rich From Social Media

I asked influencer Aris Yeager how to get rich from social media. He reveals why most creators never make money, why posting more beats making the perfect video, why the first three seconds decide whether your content succeeds or fails, and why small creators will soon become more valuable than the biggest influencers online. Aris Yeager, better known as The European Kid, is a content creator and entrepreneur who has built an audience of millions through his satirical "rich European" character. His videos have generated over 3 billion views, leading to partnerships with some of the world's biggest brands and allowing him to charge as much as $50,000 for a single sponsored post. Growing up in Belgium, Aris turned his experiences around wealthy private-school students into one of social media's most recognizable comedy characters. Rather than relying on expensive production, he built his brand by creating highly shareable videos designed to spark conversation and debate. Today, the majority of his income comes from brand partnerships, where he believes distribution and audience quality matter far more than follower count. His philosophy is simple: build a loyal community first, and the money follows. He explains: * Why posting consistently beats spending hours making the "perfect" video * Why finding a niche is the fastest way to grow from zero * The simple formula he uses to create videos people can't help but comment on * Why the first three seconds of every video determine whether it goes viral * The biggest editing mistakes almost every new creator makes * How he landed his first sponsorship and earned his first $3,000 from social media * Why most creators dramatically undervalue their content when negotiating brand deals * How charging $50,000 for a single post is less about followers and more about attracting the right audience * Why micro-creators with loyal communities are becoming more valuable than influencers with millions of followers * The industries he believes offer the biggest opportunity for creators over the next decade Follow Aris: Instagram – ⁠https://instagram.com/theeuropeankid⁠ [https://instagram.com/theeuropeankid] TikTok – ⁠https://tiktok.com/@theeuropeankid⁠ [https://tiktok.com/@theeuropeankid] YouTube – ⁠https://youtube.com/@theeuropeankid⁠ [https://youtube.com/@theeuropeankid] Check out his company: https://storytime.io/

I Lost My Home As a Teenager... Slept On a Friends Couch For Months. | Eleonora Srugo

Eleonora Srugo is one of New York City’s top luxury real estate brokers and the star of Netflix’s Selling the City, who opens up about her upbringing, sleeping on a friend’s couch, and building a career from survival mode to selling some of Manhattan’s most expensive homes. Born in Israel and raised in downtown New York by a single mother, Eleonora grew up in the West Village and SoHo before those neighborhoods became some of the most expensive real estate markets in the world. Her mother worked endlessly to provide, often relying on a small village of people around them to make life work. After studying at Boston University, Eleonora entered adulthood with heavy student debt, a low-paying marketing job, and no clear safety net. At one point, she ended up sleeping on a friend’s couch for six months, keeping all of her belongings in bags while trying to figure out how to build a real future for herself. With no wealthy parents, no powerful network, and no easy way in, she eventually found her way into New York real estate. From there, years of relentless work slowly turned into major deals, a career at Douglas Elliman, a $75 million sale, and eventually an unexpected call from Netflix that led to Selling the City.

Supercar Blondie: Not Knowing This Almost Killed Me

Supercar Blondie is one of the most recognized automotive creators in the world, with over 125 million followers across social media, and the founder of SBX Cars, a global platform for buying and selling rare and collectible cars.  In this episode, she opens up about the relentless pressure behind building one of the biggest automotive brands on the internet, and the moment the stress became so overwhelming that her body completely shut down. Born in Australia before eventually moving to Dubai, Alexandra Hirschi worked relentlessly to build what would become one of the most influential automotive media brands in the world. What started with filming cars on her phone and sharing them online gradually evolved into a global platform reaching billions of people around the world. From gaining access to some of the rarest hypercars ever built to launching her own automotive marketplace, her journey was driven by obsession, persistence, and a willingness to push far beyond what most people thought was possible. But as the brand exploded in popularity, the pressure behind the scenes grew just as fast. The constant travel, expectations, and responsibility of running a global media company eventually pushed her to a breaking point. In this conversation, she opens up about the reality behind the success, the cost of chasing massive growth, and what she learned when her body forced her to stop.
