It is impossible for your name not to ring a bell.

Dulceida is probably one of the best known people among young people from Generation Z (1994 to 2010) onwards. In fact, they are the bulk of the almost 3 million followers she has on Instagram and the 2 million subscribers on YouTube.

Aida Domenech, the name that hides behind her pseudonym, was born in Badalona in 1989 and, at 31 years old, she has the honor of having been one of the first Spanish influencers.

The Catalan woman explains in the multiple interviews that she has granted that her passion for fashion comes from when she was very little and that this was what pushed her to open a blog in 2009 under the name by which she it is known today.

Thanks to this space, Domenech was able to turn her hobby into her job and, over the years, she began to combine it with a YouTube channel. She there she continued talking about style and added other themes such as travel or challenges.

From the videos she went to Instagram, the social network where she shows her daily life and that ended up consecrating her success.

This social network allowed her to establish contacts with different brands worldwide —such as Dior or Primark— which resulted in paid collaborations, one of the main sources of income for the influencer.

According to some media, her rate could be around 6,000 euros per post, although others raise it to 8,000 euros. She has never wanted to talk about these figures, but she has stated that she is not a millionaire and that people would be surprised if they saw her account because she has invested a lot of capital in her company.

And it is that Dulceida is not only a blogger, youtuber or instagramer, she is also a successful businesswoman.

Domenech is the sole administrator of Dulce Week End SL, a company established in June 2016 dedicated to recreational and entertainment activities, under which she manages 3 of its pillars, as Vanitatis points out.

Specifically, it is made up of: DulceidaShop, an online clothing store; Dulceweekend, a fashion and music festival held in Barcelona; and In Management, a representation agency with which she manages her advertising activity, as well as that of other influencers.

However, this is not the only thing that the businesswoman has focused on, that she has just founded her own awards together with one of the most relevant promoters and has participated in series or television programs. This is the life of Dulceida:
