The world nowadays is highly fast-paced. And while that’s scary, the silver lining is that new opportunities are born every passing day. Now there are more jobs, tools, and resources around. And just a few days ago, the Egyptian Tax Authority recognized social media blogging and influencing as an official job.
Some influencers and Instagram bloggers announced on their accounts that they were permitted to pursue the “blogger” profession by the Egyptian Tax Authority. But from what we know, people question if taking a few stories and publishing posts on social media is a real career. So on that note, here are reasons why content creation is considered an actual real job now!
It’s recognized by the Egyptian tax authority and the civil registry:
Governmental institutions now consider blogging a real job; and that can be based on a few things like having a regular income, signing legal contracts with brands or other influencers, and having to pay taxes to the government.
They can make a living out of it:
Arguably, bloggers can make more money than many people with traditional jobs. Though it’s interchangeable and not a financially safe source of income, it can ensure you a kind of stability. Hence, it’s a well-paying job, too!
They have fixed schedules and contracts:
Just like many traditional jobs -or even worse-, content creation requires and consumes a lot of time, effort, and planning. Brainstorming, writing, shooting, and editing videos can be a hassle since they have to post regularly -no matter what- due to their work obligations. This means they have duties and requirements like any other job.
They can be considered an effective marketing tool:
Influencers have the power to boost a brand’s sales or hinder it. In the snap of a finger, they can spread information -useful or authentic and maybe not- and consequently impact or influence people and their decisions. They also have power over consumer behavior and can make a difference as an efficient marketing tool; that’s why many brands rely heavily on this kind of marketing.
What do you think about this? Do you think it’s about time we all treat influencing and blogging like other jobs? Tell us!
