It’s one of the buzziest marketing terms: influencer. When done well, influencer marketing can be an effective and mutually-beneficial partnership that leverages your curatorial eye and cultivated online presence to broaden the awareness of products and companies you love and respect—not to mention, it can be an excellent side hustle. But where to begin? How do you identify the right brand partners and let them know you’re down for a few #sponsoredposts? What do you charge them, and how do you know if you’re a success?
Laiza Cors, CEO of home industry-focused influencer marketing agency Embello, and Anne Sage, a real-life influencer and one of the original online content creators in the home space, have taken the complexities of the influencer marketing process and streamlined them for you.
