4. Give away Free Stuff

As an influencer, you can now show brands how great your engagement rates are for each campaign.

Once you've started to negotiate with brands and decided what type of content you should post, you may be able to suggest a giveaway. The final decision is up to them. They will be paying you for sponsored material.

If the content they ask you to share isn't valuable to your followers, then you can respectfully decline the offer.

Everyone wants to receive something for nothing. A giveaway is a great way to get more engagement from your followers.

If you're still looking to grow your following and even get paid by brands, you could give something away. To give your followers a gift, it might be worth $100 spending from your pocket.

Remember, you don’t want to lose your credibility by publishing everything that is presented to you. A drop in engagement could mean that your followers are less engaged.

Hi Lily,
How very generous of you to share these useful tips on this platform.
What an eye-opener, I never fully understood the meaning of an influencer before.
Do you think this technique would also apply if a free version of a very useful software tool was given out.

Thanks for sharing.

Blessings,
Melanie

Yes. I think that would work Melanie.
If you are the influencer then you can give free stuff away certainly.

Hi Lily . I have thousands of followers on Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest, but they are mostly people that associate with my gardening niche. Is it possible to utilise these followers for my MMO site, or do I need to start again. Jim

Great question Jim.
Try and think how you would feel if you were following someone for gardening and then they started talking about building a business?

I think it would come down to how you approached them. Some might be thinking about having a website business or they may already have a shop business but need to get online.

Imagine what you would like to read, that would pique your interest to go from a link to an article about WA. I would say that you would have to keep it subtle.

Let me know what you come up with if you like and we can toss it around.
