An influencer who boasts just under 100,000 followers has revealed the staggering amount she earns each year from sponsored posts - and how she juggles life as an influencer with being a new mum.
Sanja Grohar, 35, from London, racks up £40,000 from promoting beauty, fashion, lifestyle and travel products - with the mother-of-one even being gifted her wedding and reception dresses, costing nearly £7,000.
The former model, who won Miss Slovenia in 2005, also enjoys free holidays to Mexico, Spain and Italy, worth up to £6,000, with her most favoured vacation being to the five-star Cavo Tagoo Mykonos hotel in Greece.
Yet Sanja, who gave birth to her baby boy Nicolai six months ago with husband Matt, 37, admitted that the busy life of an Instagram star is now much harder since welcoming her little one.

Speaking to MailOnline, she said: 'It is way harder now. Sometimes I want to stay in my PJ's, with messy hair, no makeup, just being a typical mother.
'I have less time to do blogging and content creation overall as my baby is a priority. I take 10 times longer to do one video or photo than before. So I have to do more planning and base it around the baby's schedule.
'However I love our boy so much, so I don't mind. He is our world. Being a mother, a director, and content creator can be hard, but I am not complaining at all. I'm happy we have this chance to do it.'
Revealing how she juggles being a new mother with her life as an influencer, Sanja explained that she does a lot of her shots whilst her little one sleeps and always has his pram next to her - even when it isn't visible in snaps.
For Sanja, who previously entered Miss World for Slovenia, Instagramming and fashion blogging initially started out as nothing more than a hobby.

But from 2017, her social media platforms, @sanjagrohar and theycallmebambam.com, started to grow after 'optimising her blog and connecting with other accounts for reposts'.
By 2018, Sanja had more than 75,000 followers - now boasting 98,600 - and started raking in the sponsored posts - whereby she is paid to advertise products.
'I started a few years ago when Instagram got popular,' she explained. 'It basically started as a hobby and not in my wildest dreams did I think this could become a job as well.
'If someone would say then, that almost 100,000 people would be following me, I'd say they were barking mad!'
She recalled: 'I started slow and then got stuck into the following and creativity. So I decided to push my boundaries with creativity, started using my own presets (photoshop), our pictures got better.

'And my husband got better at doing them. Bear in mind he has no photography experiences. After I started thinking as a professional everything else attracted it.
'Accounts with large followings started tagging me, I interacted with followers for hours on a daily basis. We were waking up 5am on weekends to find perfect shots in London (this way we avoided crowds).'
She added: 'Brands used to advertise in magazines, however online social media is so strong now. People are on their phones all the time.
'Of course If I like the product I would gladly promote it and show it to my followers. However I never promote a brand or product that I don't believe in.'
Sanja credits her success to her 'best-friend' and husband, Matt, who works in the buying or selling of products online.
'My husband is my best friend and he is my biggest support! I am so happy as it makes my life easier.

However, there are negatives in Sanja's line of work, as she expresses: 'Downside to this 'blogger job' is that you literally work 24/7'
'Now that it has become a business as well he is even happier to do so as we get to take care of our family with it. He learned to do my IG worthy pictures and I love him for being so supportive.'

'When we are on holiday my husband sometimes just wants to switch off and I don't know how to.
'It can come with a lot of pressure as you need to make enough campaigns for your yearly salary and that can sometimes affect your mood.'
But the positives surely out-way the negatives, with Sanja's success affording her a £30,000 intimate wedding in Žiče Charterhouse, Slovenia, in August 2018.
She was even gifted two wedding dresses - one for the ceremony and one for her reception - a £4,000 Randy Fenoli and a £3,000 Ida Torez.
Sharing her top tips for being an influencer, Sanja said to 'find your niche', capture people rather than 'behind shorts or places', and imagine 'how the picture will look like at the end'.
'Try being different and unique as this way more people will follow you. Also plan your feed,' she added. 'Choose your colour. Use hashtags this way people discover your IG account.
'Also sometimes it's worth using hashtags that are not the most popular. For instance the Fashion hashtag is too popular and your post can get lost in a million other posts.
'However if you use Fashion with an emoji or another word next to it - that hashtag will be less popular and people would discover you quicker.'
