I think all influencers charge differently and even though follower size is taken into consideration, its not based solely on that. Quotes are also based on engagement, quality of content, demographics, etc. A quiet spot in the desert with my favourite girl ' A post shared by JACK MORRIS (@doyoutravel) on Dec 19, 2016 at 5:30am PST Best treehouse yet at @keemalaphuket A post shared by JACK MORRIS (@doyoutravel) on Dec 2, 2016 at 2:58am PST Mornings in Marrakech- calls for breakfast in the pool Any suggestions for Morocco'' A post shared by LAUREN BULLEN (@gypsea_lust) on Jul 15, 2016 at 2:02am PDT While their lives may look like a dream, they say it requires more work than meets the eye and Instagram only captures a small snippet. The two dont use any apps to digitally alter their photos, using Adobe Lightroom instead.As for their main tip for other Instagram influencer hopefuls' Keep it real.The biggest [advice] wed give is to be authentic, original and do what you love, Morris told HuffPost.

Both [Lauren and I]travelled and created content for years with no business plan. It was always just for fun, and even though its our full-time job now, its still equally as fun. I think thats the reason our posts and lifestyle resonates with so many people. Got @gypsea_lust some puppies for Valentine's Day Thanks for making me the happiest guy in the world!
