Starting theme pages on Instagram at 15 was the best business decision I ever made. Not because of the money. Because of what it taught me about money. It took me 8-9 months to make my first £10 online. I was 16. A few months later I made £800 in a single month from paid partnerships. That moment further established something in my brain. Value should be exchanged for money. Not time. At their peak, the theme pages I built hit 400k+ followers combined. But the lesson learnt and beliefs I built along the way will pay off more than any money those pages ever made me. Those pages led me to co-found an influencer marketing agency – BrandPlant, which I now run solely. It all started with a couple theme pages and £10.
