The ability to monetize online presence is becoming increasingly fruitful in today’s society. Alex Rodriguez, also known as ItsAlexHype, is becoming popular for his stock and algorithmic TikTok content and his enthusiasm for cryptocurrency and NFT’s. This, combined with his work for the digital marketing agency Simple Media (ADS), has given him the platform to reach millions of people.
Alex began by posting on social media platforms such as vine, Muscial.ly, TikTok, and YouTube, before focusing more on Instagram and Facebook. He revealed in an interview that “on Instagram, I’ve been able to grow niche pages since I was twelve and have had to build my way around challenges I have faced. After promoting so many influencers and watching them grow, I realized I wanted to do the same thing. From there, it was just a matter of creating and putting out enjoyable content and having fun with it.”
In his interview, Alex or ItsAlexHype also gave some advice to new investors and young entrepreneurs, saying, “I still see so-called ‘entrepreneurs’ all-over social media, who sell bullish courses and follow trends every day trying to worry about what everyone else is doing. This is not the way to go, as the only one making money, in this case, is the bullish investor. So, you must stay up to date. The most important thing to value in terms of investing is time. Thanks to the rise in crypto and NFTs, I have seen so many celebrities and regular people capitalize on just being early to something. The only way this is possible is by staying up to date and researching whatever you are interested in.”
He closed by talking about the challenges people in his industry can face. “I overcame [roadblocks] by continuous grind and hard work, which can leave some people jobless and sobbing. Instead, I continued to network and grow and was able to meet the guys over at Simple Media who have brought nothing but support, opportunity, and clients daily. Another challenge, at first, was getting other more influential people to work with me. However, after seeing my extreme grind and delivery, I now have no issues setting up clients to gain as much as 10-20k in a single day.” A serial entrepreneur who can use his assets to expand his network and investments. He plans to use these to grow his music network and his services to include artist branding and press work. This will, in turn, lead to signing his own artists for promotion and potentially some models and athletes.
