In early 2022, Nora Ahmed was just an ordinary Saudi girl trying to build her presence on Instagram and TikTok with only 800 followers. She posted random content about fashion and lifestyle, but engagement was weak, and she saw no significant growth. 😔

But everything changed when she decided to transform her digital approach using data analytics, eventually becoming one of the most prominent influencers in sustainable fashion in Saudi Arabia, with over 150,000 followers and monthly earnings reaching 20,000 SAR.

The Big Shift: How Data Changed Her Path

✅ Audience Analysis: She discovered that 75% of her followers were interested in sustainability and ethical fashion.

✅ Optimal Posting Time: She found that 8-10 PM was the best time to maximize engagement.

✅ Content Type: Short videos explaining how to repurpose old clothes consistently hit 10,000+ views per video.
