With influencer marketing turning into a 10-billion dollar industry, there is plenty of room for you to begin monetizing your influence and starting your own profitable business in this industry.
That being said, I’ve spent 5+ years in this successfully paying my bills by working with brands and teaching others how to do the same by creating a program centered around your most sought-after questions, like:
“How can I professionally monetize my influence?”
“Can I actually turn this into a profitable business?”
“How do I craft a pitch that lands partnerships so I can start getting paid?”
“Negotiating with brands and signing contracts scares me, can you help?”
“Actually, where do I start in general?!”
Well, my friend, I would love to teach you how to make all of the above oh so possible for you, because it can be if you’re ready to learn!
Do you look at other people working with brands and think, "how are they doing that?"
Are you wanting to partner with brands as a way to level up your business?
Do you wish you were more confident in communicating the value you have to offer?
Are you confused on how to send an effective pitch email?
Do you struggle with negotiating deals?
Are you trying to figure out what you should be charging for your work?
Are you sick of hearing brands say, “we just don’t have the budget?”
Does creating a Media Kit scare you because you’re not even sure where to start?
Are you worried about how to write a contract, fill out tax forms, or legally accept payment?
Do you want to stop waiting for companies to come knocking on your door, and instead be prepared to take control of monetizing your influence so you can leverage your brand?

Four years ago, you would have found me going to my college classes 5 days a week, coming home to work on my blog, and spending all of my extra time Googling "how to work with brands."
When I was first introduced to the idea of working with brands, that's all it was. An idea. And an elusive one at that.
Influencers I would reach out to for advice made it seem like working with brands was this super exclusive industry secret, and because I was new to the industry well... then I couldn't be "let in" on the "secret."
So there I was, Googling away and trying to figure out how the heck people were working with brands and making money from doing it.
As I was researching though, the majority of what I was finding was, well.... fluffy.
I still didn't know how to send an effective pitch email or communicate the value I had to offer.
I mean FORGET about trying to set prices, engage in negotiations, or decipher the legalese in contracts. Just the thought of having to navigate those things made me sick to my stomach.
Yet I was still craving the kind of advice that gave me honest, yet actionable steps.
But after several years of still not finding that kind of advice, I stopped Googling and asking around and I started to figure out a strategy that would result in mutually beneficial partnerships AND lead to me actually paying my bills.
And that strategy that I've developed over the last four years are the "secrets" I'm shedding light on today.
It's what led me to landing my first brand deal at only 600 followers.
Getting my first paycheck at 800 followers.
And making over $30,000 in campaign payouts since 2018.
You don't need to keep Googling, hoping to get lucky with advice from a more seasoned influencer, or wait until you hit 10k followers in order to start working with brands.
You just need zero excuses, motivation to work hard, and a willingness to invest in yourself.
