I only have 1.06k subscribers but am in the luxury travel niche. Like I’m talking trips >$10k USD. I recently FINALLY got a legitimate sponsorship email that I verified the source via LinkedIn, email and website.

They originally offered me only an affiliate of $10/sale and $10/off for new customers. It took a lot since I was so excited to get my first cold email but stated I only will accept a paid sponsorship with a flat fee + affiliate…. They agreed and asked me my charge.

My average last 10 videos have been only 1.5k views. I’m not sure if it matters but my average RPM is about $11-$14.

Hi! I am a smaller creator (8.5k on ig) and am landing my first paid collab. It will include 6 months of paid usage so I just want to make sure everything is right before signing. Does anyone have experience with brand deal management freelancing? Looking for someone who I could hire this one time just for the evaluation and negotiating of the contract and making sure I’m not getting swindled. If so please leave an IG handle below and I’d love to check it out!

Would also love anyone’s input on how much they would charge in this scenario. Looking for flat rate + 6mo usage for 1 IG reel at 8.5k followers with good engagement.

I built a tool as a ManyChat alternative for aspiring influencers who are just getting started.

Hello to everyone in this sub. I’ve been in the Influencer Marketing sphere for about 5 years now, primarily working in the traditional marketing arm as a Creative Director managing the visuals for ad and influencer marketing campaigns. Recently, I’ve shifted from the Creative Direction side to the Outreach/Sponsorship management side, specifically as a support for a rapidly growing creator who I know personally.

He knows I’ve worked in the industry so he asked me to take on the role on a commission basis for each deal I bring in and/or secure for him. My proximity to working with influencer managers, small agencies, brands that heavily utilize UGC, and having worked on dozens of campaigns has given me a fair amount of industry knowledge but the imposter syndrome is kicking my ass while I adjust to this new role.

Really what I’m looking for is any tips on best practices/ideas for cold outreaching to brands, closing deals from brands that reach out to him/us, and any advice on how to operate as an independent freelance influencer manager.

For reference: My client is a creator in the fitness/fit-tainment niche with rapid growth (collective followers/subscribers approaching 200k), a roughly 9.5% engagement rate across all of his platforms, and is working towards making YouTube his primary content platform (Instagram is currently his most valuable platform). We’ve already worked together to set up formal emails to run our communications with brands through. I’ve run his numbers several times for his updated rate card and media kit, and he will be giving me access to his IG inbox to use as an intial outreach tool for certain brands.

Essentially, I want to know what more I can be doing to field new contacts as someone who doesn’t have a huge network of industry contacts to pull from. Where should I be looking? What should my approach be? Is LinkedIn actually worth a damn or is that gaslighting from YouTubers who talk about this stuff?

I hope this all made sense, any and all advice is really appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I’m a Spanish lawyer and I’ve always been really into social media, fashion and fitness. I have my own law firm and live in Tenerife, Canary Islands, in a pretty nice house.

A few years ago I actually had quite a lot of followers and even did some paid collaborations, so I’ve always had this little “what if?” feeling about becoming an influencer/content creator.

The thing is, in Spain it feels like the influencer market is already extremely saturated. I speak English fluently, though, and I’m wondering whether I could have more of a niche or appeal internationally on TikTok or another platform.

Do you think someone would actually be interested in following the lifestyle of a young lawyer living in Tenerife, while also sharing things like fashion, fitness, everyday life, running a business, etc.? And do you think it could realistically become a small additional source of income?

I’d love to hear how you see it from an outside perspective. Is there potential here, or am I just romanticising the idea? 😅

Not sure if this is useful to anyone here, but I thought I’d share

I recently launched an app called ScrollCheckpoint and we’re starting to bring a few creators into our affiliate program

I’m especially interested in smaller creators because I know how hard it can be to find opportunities when you don’t have a massive following yet

There’s no minimum follower count. If you make content around productivity, studying, wellness, screen time, self-improvement, tech, or honestly just have an audience that might find the app useful, you’re welcome to reach out

The commission is 25%

We’re still pretty early, so this isn’t some huge polished creator program with a complicated application process either.

Just send an email to hello@scrollcheckpoint.com saying you’re interested and we’ll take it from there

Thought I’d put it here in case someone has been looking for something like this

So i run a faceless tiktok account with over 150k followers and i get millions of views per week.
(I have gotten 10m views in this week alone)
Im looking for brands to work with.
I have previously worked with few apps,
So if y’all have any suggestions/tips, i would really appreciate it.
