How to avoid this influencer marketing fail

How to avoid this influencer marketing fail

Thoughts on a recent article about an influencer with millions of followers struggling to sell products to their followers.

Lessons:

1. Make sure your followers are the right audience for the type of product you’re trying to push. If not, use ads to find the right audience.

2. Sell with a compelling narrative. Share why you believe a product is worth their time/money.

3. Post often about the product. Seeing your genuine enthusiasm (posting multiple times) is going to social proof it, leading to a greater potential of a sale.

👩🏽‍🎓 Advice to web students

While I was at Uni, I had to do lots of odd jobs to keep afloat and be able to pay bills and buy food.

It wasn’t always easy, but using my web skills helped me gain extra income.

🤓 From Permanent to Contract

🤓 From Permanent to Contract

So January this year, I left my permanent role to become a Contract User Experience (UX) Designer. I wanted to document and share some of the preparation before making the move so here's a start at it. To add, my notice period was 3months. BONUS Organising calls with recruiters can be long and tedious. I started using Calendly and it helped automate some of that process making it less stressful and time-consuming! Highly recommend using it, and it's free! https://calendly.com/ LINKS Ryland Consulting https://ryland.consulting/ https://twitter.com/RylandConslting https://www.instagram.com/rylandconsulting Treehouse 50% OFF your first month using this link http://bit.ly/2xzqReC Hotjar - Analytics & Feedback http://bit.ly/2hDVBSb
