The Cuban influencer, widely known as Flor de Cuba, did not remain silent in the face of criticism on social media, where some individuals labeled her a "peddler" for promoting products on her platforms. Her response was both direct and powerful: she unveiled her earnings in less than a month, leaving many stunned.
"You should be ashamed of being a peddler on social media," read one of the derogatory comments she received. However, rather than getting upset, Flor responded by sharing a post showing her income report: over $21,000 in estimated commissions, with 8.1 million product views and 3,900 items sold in just 28 days.
“In 28 days! I suffer a lot, especially on payday,” she wrote sarcastically on her Instagram account, accompanying the message with a victorious pose pointing to her earnings. The numbers are self-evident: more than $155,000 in GMV (gross merchandise value), 723,000 product clicks, and a steady growth in her metrics. Far from being embarrassed, Flor makes it clear that her success on social media is no accident, and that selling, or as some call it, being a "peddler," can be very profitable.
With this post, the influencer not only silenced critics but also delivered a clear message: for her, monetizing social media is a legitimate job and can be highly lucrative.
