A big reason for this growth is that more and more people are using social media. This has made more people, not just in big cities, but also in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, want to make their own content. India, in particular, has seen a lot of growth in this industry, and as a result, there are now influencers who offer high-quality content in niche industries that are unique to them.
