Take a look at our conversation with Arshad Ahmed:
What made you start creating content and when did you begin?
"As a passion for the fashion and glamorous world in my childhood, I always used to love dressing good and loved to be well-groomed. In September or October of 2018, I started using Instagram seriously as being an active user from July 17 2013 but during my starting mid-2018, I used to create good ideas for brand and to shoot pictures for my Instagram feed. That way it was beneficial for both parties."
What makes your content stand out?
"I focus on quality when it comes to thinking out of the box content. I analyze the current trend and try to create something around it. I prefer sticking to my niche."
How do you choose what to promote on your feed and what not to?
"As I mentioned before I prefer sticking to my niche. I only work on the brand which defines who I am and that makes sure I am not moving away from my purpose of blogging."
One instance/experience that made it all worthwhile?
"As being a year old influencer I have got many different experiences in life, as being seated on the table with all verified persons for one big brand R&D for men's grooming product. It was very huge for me, and many times during big events invite I get to experience that daily hustle is important to get somewhere in life and I've proved it right by being here in the event."
What does a regular day look like?
"I am an office going person so weekdays my attire is all formals. I curate outfits which are easy to carry."
How do you make moolahs?
"I have my 9 to 5 working life which gives me a monthly salary to survive and from starting of the year 2019 I started getting money from Instagram as well."
Where do you get ideas for your videos from?
"I love hearing Hollywood music and yes I do hear it on YouTube for videos and slowly I started observing the video angles taken in the video and the menswear styles in the video look better than a static image, so I started thinking more about the video content of my own with the daily lifestyle outfits."
Weirdest brief ever received?
"Yes, I belong from that list of bloggers/influencers who got the weirdest brief regarding the campaigns."
If not an influencer, what would you be?
"If not an influencer I would have definitely tried putting myself working into Public Relations company for brands/corporate companies."
Message/tips for upcoming bloggers
"Not give a long speech just some few steps for success in this field:
- Be constant.
- Be Yourself.
- Try to influence others with your style.
- Don’t compare yourself or your work with anyone because everyone has their own story.
- Compliment others if you like their work.
- Try being friendly with your audience."
Here is how Arshad Ahmed replied to our Quick 5-
Favourite meme template on social media?
"The meme is the fav part of my friend's group on social media, as what I feel is meme shares very different energy as it quickly starts a group interaction and communication even with the sleeping person of social who replies once in a blue moon. My fav includes all gym-related memes."
One celebrity you want to collaborate with?
"I would love to collaborate with Ranveer Singh because that guy has got insane energy and too much dedication towards his work."
Your favourite Influencer?
"As such, I don’t find anyone my favourite but yes nobody is perfect you learn every day new things from everyone so try to learn things daily and be your own favourite."
Weirdest or funniest comment you have received?
"As such, I don’t remember but yes many times I am being compared with random Bollywood or sometimes South movie actors. Hahaha."
Favourite face filter?
"Currently I’m very obsessed with that moody filter on Instagram."
