Last week we shared with you one of the fastest-growing marketing trends sweeping the world, and that’s Influencers!
We suggested some of the influencers we love, like Marta Sauret Greca, our very own CEO at MEDIA, who supports holistic wellness and beauty brands with her influencer services on her personal Facebook and Instagram, directing multiple leads their way every week with her posts. Her style ranges from empowering other moms to take care of themselves for the long-term plan of their family, to whimsically sarcastic and funny that will make you laugh and feel better about your day while inspiring you to try out the services and products she happily promotes as a mom of 7 who is also a CEO.
But the question remains – how does one become an influencer? And do you need a huge audience in order to get compensated for promoting brands?
And we’re here with some answers from businesses we love to work with, plus the expertise from our very own CEO, Marta Sauret Greca, who serves multiple brands a month as an influencer like Quantum Klinik, Allianna’s Kitchen, 100% Chiropractic, BODY20, Hair Enhancements, and more.
“The thing is you might think you can message a brand you love and say ‘Hey I love your stuff – can I promote it for you? Would you like to partner with my influencer services’ That probably won’t work,” our CEO, Marta Sauret Greca shares. “I know this because I’ve tried it myself!”
What she suggests, is first focusing on creating content you love for the fun of it. Don’t worry too much about trends, or doing what other people are doing, but make it fun for you in your content! Show your personality, and connect with other accounts within the platform just as you would at a party, networking event, or any other physical community. Be a part of it all.
You don’t necessarily need tens of thousands of followers, but you do want to create relationships through your content that create a know, like, and trust relationship, so when you make a recommendation, those in your audience will listen and take action.
While you’re doing that, it usually helps to establish a relationship with the ideal brands you’d love to promote. Perhaps try out their products and support them by engaging with their content. If they’re a local service, stop in and try out their services to get in front of their decision-makers.
Do them a solid! Connect them with some ideal connections like clients, customers, and referral partners to show them you support them and are connected to their clientele. But do this WITHOUT overgiving or overextending yourself or offering your services for free!
And most importantly, talk about what you’d love to do and the relationships you’d love to create on your social! Let the world know you’re accepting partnerships with your ideal brands! Like Marta Sauret Greca did here in this pinned post.
You can also sign up for free with partners like Social Cat or Podcorn, to acquire paid sponsorships or affiliate compensations for anyone all the way down to micro-influencers.
“And remember, have fun! That is the main key to success in all of this!” Reminds Marta Sauret Greca.
