How to Make a Million – Part One

How to Make a Million

Part One

There’s a lot that goes into making a million dollars (plus) as an influencer, and I’m not here to gatekeep. So consider this part one of the money making journey we’re embarking on.

1. Sponsored Posts: Brands pay influencers to create and share content that promotes their products or services on their social media platforms. The more platforms an influencer has (TikTok, Instagram, Pinnterest, Facebook) the more these sponsored posts start adding up.

2. Affiliate Marketing: Influencers promote products or services with unique affiliate links or promo codes. They earn a commission on each sale generated through these links or codes. Insider tip: Rewardstyle and ShopStyle are great companies for this.

3. Event Appearances: Influencers can be paid to attend events, product launches, or promotional gatherings and promote the brand or product during these occasions. Check out my previous Reel where I talk about influencers getting paid to attend Fashion Week.

4. Content Licensing: Some influencers license their content for use in advertisements, marketing campaigns, or other media outlets. This is known as UGC or “User Generated Content” so influencers actually create content for a brand without having to post themselves.

5. Stock Options: In select cases, influencers may receive equity or stock options in companies they promote, particularly in startup or tech-related fields.
