A social media star rakes in £720,000 by posting saucy photos to Instagram and Snapchat.

Abigail Ratchford adds to this eye-watering sum by landing calendar shoots and brand deals.

Since launching her modelling career, she’s earned millions of pounds.

While the influencer is sitting on a lot of cash nowadays, her road to success has required a lot of hard work.

 

Abigail, a small town girl from Scranton, Pennsylvania, never imagined she’d become a model.

She fell into the industry by accident, after some of her pictures went viral on social media.

The influencer revealed: “It happened totally by accident.

“I did a shoot kind of by accident and the pics ended up all over the place and got me a lot of attention.

“I started building my following after that and once I realised I could make a lot of money through working with brands, selling merch etc, I was hooked.”

“Lots of beauty and skincare, bikinis, lingerie, cool apps, all the stuff I would love to use in my normal life.

“Because of my following, I’m able to charge a certain amount if I endorse something, I have big contracts with Ignite and Fashion Nova per month.”

The Instagrammer is currently paid £6,300 per post – but her business ventures don’t end there.

While getting noticed in the competitive world of social media isn’t easy, Abigail believes wannabe influencers can make it if they put the work in.

She recommends schmoozing other internet personalities to get noticed, as well as being creative and ambitious.

The Playboy star said: “Be creative with your shoots, scope out the best photographers, videographers, locations etc.

“If you don’t have a manager or an agent yet, contact the brands you want to work with directly.

“You get much more respect by being aggressive in this industry than sitting back waiting for things to happen for you.”

She added: “Definitely make a blueprint of what you want to do.

“Make a big vision board of all the huge goals you wish to achieve, then break them down into smaller ones.

“I have whiteboards everywhere in my house.

“I write out my goals for each month career wise, personal wise, things I want to work on within myself in order to grow and be the best version of myself I can be.

“Also, connect with the right people, be nice to everyone you work with, build solid working relationships, don’t listen to haters, it’s just white noise, cancel it out and have tunnel vision on your goals and dreams.”
