Chasity Hobbs is an influencer, content creator, and life coach who learned to monetize her Instagram with only 3000 followers so she could escape the 9-5 grind to travel the world. Now it’s her mission to help you do the same!
After working in her “dream job” as a veterinary assistant, Chasity dealt with the ugly side of the business and was the subject of bullying and harassment from her superiors. After sliding into a deep phase of depression it was time to escape. Chasity hit a breaking point as most people do and knew she had to take a leap of faith. She grabbed her camera and decided it was time to make her Instagram work for her.
As an adventure enthusiast, and nature obsessed explorer, Chasity turned her passion into her “niche” on Instagram, and put her efforts toward educating others about protecting the outdoors as well as living a sustainable and healthy lifestyle. To fund her travels she monetized her Instagram by reaching out to brands for collaborations and commercial photography. With many more rejections than confirmations, she pushed forward with sheer persistence and eventually began to land brand deals worth over $1000. As she puts it, “most people will count themselves out before any brand can.”
Now, after traveling multiple continents and countries all around the world based solely on the income from brand collaborations and content creation, she’s learned the ins and outs of running a business on Instagram as a micro-influencer and has turned to help her audience do the same.
“Whether they want to travel the world or just spend more time with the kids at home, I try to give my audience the exact tools they need in a step by step process that takes them from where they are to where they want to be, so they gain the knowledge and confidence to have faith in themselves and go after whatever it is they want out of life!”
Chasity’s content on Instagram is filled with an abundance of knowledge and tips, from solving her audience’s pain points to lighthearted “would you rather” mini-games, and she says, “It’s not going anywhere”, because, despite all her continued work with brands like Columbia and Native, her biggest passion lies in helping her followers chase their dreams. And she’s not lying! Chasity remains insanely busy, not only from Instagram but also through running a private Facebook group called the Content Creator Mastermind Community, where like-minded individuals can support each other and watch her teach in live sessions, operating The Content Creator Podcast where she interviews digital creators from all around the world, and by creating a myriad of information products designed to teach her audience the step by step process to create their success as a digital nomad. And lastly, if that isn’t enough Chasity offers individual coaching to select members of her community which she says she’ll be looking to expand into 2021!
When asked what advice Chasity would give to anybody who wants to escape the rat race and become a digital nomad she had this to say, “Just start even if you don’t know how! You only live once, and not many people can say they live their life like they are only living it once. What are all the things you would do if you knew you had only one week left to live? What if you knew you only had one year left to live? And what if you only had one life left to live?… We all have to start at the beginning and you can’t get to where you want to be if you don’t start. Take a leap of faith and invest in yourself. There is an amazing life to be had outside the regular 9-5 grind!”
