Home to many of the top influencers, the US was responsible for 75% of the global influencer marketing spend last year
Nevada residents appear most interested in influencing, searching about a career in the industry 33% more than the typical American
New data has revealed which states are the most interested in entering into the world of online influencing – with Nevada proving to be the fifth most excited about the concept.
The research, pulled together by Online Casino Comparison Website Kajino, analyzed nationwide Google search volume for keywords related to becoming an influencer over the last 12 months, to identify which states are most interested in following a content creator career path.
2023 saw the global influencer marketing value reach $21.1 billion, and - with the US boasting some of the most famous social media stars - the nation was responsible for 75% of the global influencer marketing spend.
And with the industry thriving, especially in the US, it’s no surprise that more Americans are considering pursuing content creation as a full-time career.
And it turns out those in Nevada are hoping to achieve this more than the average American. The state averaged 71 monthly searches per 100k residents, which is 33% higher than the US average of 53.5.
Florida, however, takes the lead with 79.8 monthly searches per 100k residents - a huge 49% increase from the national average.
Georgia is the second state most intrigued by the influencer lifestyle, with 78.2 searches per 100k – 46% higher than the US average. In third is New York, which is still 42% above at 75.9 searches per 100k.

On the other end of the scale, being in the spotlight online doesn’t seem to appeal to New Mexico residents, with only 33.8 searches per 100k, which is 37% below the US average.
Behind New Mexico as the second-least interested is West Virginia, with people in the state looking for information on the potential career 32% less than the average American, with 36.6 searches per 100k. Closely following in third is Montana with 36.9 monthly searches - 31% below the national average.
While it’s unclear the exact reason for the difference between the states, it could reflect how heavily social media is integrated into the lives of those living in each area, and therefore how much it’s considered a valid career prospect by residents.
