• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Welcome to Influencer Confidential by Sidewalker Daily. My name is
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Nina Zeta and I will be your host. I love
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: working with brands and influencers on all things business strategy.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Are you ready to learn what it takes to.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Work in this influencer industry and see behind the current Well,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: let's jump in.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about how we can get you paid as
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: an influencer in the next thirty days. Something that I
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: think a lot of creators and influencers forget off the
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: very bat is literally telling brands that you're available for work.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: This can be done through a work with me Paige,
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: putting this information in your Instagram highlights in your bio,
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: literally telling people that you're available for work. That's the
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: fastest and quickest way to get you paid. Sometimes you'll
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: have influencers that do have a small following, but brands
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: don't even think that that is something that they would
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: even do. But by putting like work with me here
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: or email me here in your bio or building out
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: a proper work with me paid that shows past examples
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: of your work your services. Actually thinking of yourself as
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: a business and having a sales page if you were
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: a business right, if you go on any businesses page
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: and they have a website, there's probably ways to work together.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: While as a creator, just setting that up from the
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: get is something that can get you paid right away.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Now the bare minimum to get you paid asap, I'm
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: talking in the next thirty days as an influencer, is
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: your media kit. Would you apply to a normal job
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: without a resume? Probably not right, Like you need a
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: resume to get a job at the workforce, Well, you
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: need a media kit or a portfolio as a creator
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: to get a job in this world, you need to
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: be able to show your work. That is the bare minimum.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: So without that, we're not getting any work. And if
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: you're looking to get paid, it's a quick thing that
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: you can probably do in the same day is build
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: out your media care or build out your UGC portfolio,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: because this is going to be a tool that you're
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: going to be using in your outbound pitches to brands
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: or when brands reach out to you. You're also able
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: to use this tool as a way to get them
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: to want to work with you. Now, I'm actually hosting
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: a media kit training. It's a different training this time
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: it's all about media kits and how to really perfect them.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: If you're a creator that doesn't have a media kit yet,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: or you have one but you want to make it better,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: then definitely come to my media kit training. It is
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: going to be live, it is going to be free,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: and it is going to be very focused on making
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: your media kit the best possible version yet so that
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: you can use that in your outreach or when brands
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: come to you to get you paid brand deals. Now,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: if you're trying to get paid asap, you got to
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: think about your monetization and one of the things that
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: you can do. Like again we're talking about using our
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: media kit as a resume. Well, what about the job boards?
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: There are also job boards for influencers and job boards
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: for UGC creators. Not only are their third party sites
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: like Aspire and Idea and all of these platforms that
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: you can join. You can literally just go onto Google
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Jobs as well and type in UGC creator in your
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: city or influencer jobs, and you will see different jobs
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: pop up. Because being an influencer and a creator in
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty five is a real career. I was on
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Google Jobs the other day and I saw tons of
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: UGC positions in the local Miami area. So I always
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: took creators this is a great place to start. Again,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: this was about getting you paid as fast as possible.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: And sometimes it's just like looking for those opportunities rather
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: than pitching brand deals, applying to consulting jobs or influencer
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: jobs or UGC jobs based on a traditional job post. Now,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: the other thing I mentioned briefly was talking about monetization,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: is you got to figure out what is your monetization strategy. Again,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: we're trying to get you paid as fast as possible.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Are we selling direct to our audience? Are we using
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: our influence to monetize that way? So maybe creating something
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: that they can buy or they can book. Maybe your
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: audience can book a session with you. Maybe you have
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: a specialized expertise on something that you can sell to them,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: or a PDF or a worksheet or whatever. Even you know,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: setting up a calend lee is so simple where you
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: know your follower can book some time with you and
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: you can figure out what's best for them. I recently
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: had like a travel influencer do something similar and this
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: creator was like going to Grease, and this girl has
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: been to Grease a thousand times and she put her
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: trip together again, that is using your influence and getting
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: you paid right away. Then I want you to think
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: about your affiliates. What do your affiliates look like this year?
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Are you organized in your affiliate process? Are you set
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: up to different affiliate programs? Do you have your Amazon
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: storefront in place? So many creators want to get paid,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: but they don't even promote their Amazon storefront. They're like, yeah,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: I have it, but I haven't even done anything with it. Again,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: you want to get paid in the next thirty days,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: using your influence, create some content that promotes some of
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: the things. This creator that was talking to she was like, Oh, yeah,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: I did this whole video on like I think it
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: was like compression cubes or something. The video went viral.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: She put her Amazon affiliate link ASoP in her bio
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: and she ended up making like a killing because the
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: video did so well and she was organized and smart
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: enough to make sure she had that link ready. So again,
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: just really thinking about your monetization structure. You know, I
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: hear this all the time creators complaining about their following.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: But a small business that's just getting started that has
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: no followers would love you to pick your brain and
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: have you you help them build up that following. So
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: if you do have a following, you can always lean
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: into social media consulting. You can lean into different consulting
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: with local brands and support them. Again, just because you
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: may not be ready to go after brand deals, it
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: doesn't mean you can't go after those really lucrative consulting
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: gigs where you are helping a brand also help them
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: with growth or with content or the things that you're
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: good at. A lot of times, you know, the smaller
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: creators are really great with content. This is a service
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: that you can be selling on the B to B
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: side directly with brands that you may want to work with. So, yeah,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: use your influence to open doors. Now, if you don't
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: know where to start and you want to work with me,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: but you don't know which program's best, or what you
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: should be doing, or what you should be focusing on.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Because we do a lot of things here at Sidewalker,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: I'm going to go ahead and leave a link to
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: our success manager. She can walk you through the different
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: ways that we can work together, whether it's one on
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: one or in a group setting, or throw a program.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: We have a variety of different programs to fit your
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: budget and your style of learning. So I'll go ahead
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: and leave her calend lee below so you guys can
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: book some time with our success manager to see what
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: program would be the best fit for you. Now. I
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: don't know about you, guys, but I want to be
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: in control of my destiny. I want to go after it.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: I don't want to just wait for things to come.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: If you are an influencer that has not pitched, that
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: is the biggest area that you can go after. Again,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: the data shows about seventy percent of a creator's income
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: comes from brand deals. Out of all the monestization streams
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: out there, brand deals is number one for ROI for creators,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: which basically means you're not going to find that type
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: of money anywhere else besides brand deals and sponsorships and
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: you see content. That is the most lucrative area for
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: a creator. So you need to get in the arena
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: and pitch. That's the fastest and surefire way to get results.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: I have creators in my program that I work with
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: one on one, and we're pitching anywhere from twenty to
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: forty brands a month. You don't think that if you
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: were to send out forty pitches that there would be
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: someone on the other side willing to pay you for
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: your content or for your influence, right, so sometimes it
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: requires that boost. Now, if again, that's something that you
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: feel like you could do on your own, that you
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: could be like Nina, I could totally pitch twenty to
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: forty brands a month. If you had that step by set,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: guidance and guds and clarity, then definitely check out our
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Pitching a Brand's master Course because this program, y'all, is
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: the blueprint on pitching like it is going to help
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: you get out there and pitch those twenty to forty
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: brands a month in a very organized way to get
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: you the results that you're looking for. This program has
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: thousands of testimonials. It helps creators, you know, really land
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: those high paying brand deals, those high paying influencer jobs.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Because it's a monetization course, it's meant to teach you
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: how to monetize. So I'm going to go ahead and
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: leave the link to the course there. Y'all could check
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: it out on your own time. Now, if you do
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: find that you're not getting these influencer jobs, anyone can
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: pitch content, does not matter you're following. Anyone can pitch content.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: But you do need that portfolio, right, so we can't
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: pitch it without the work product. So if you are
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: a creator that's kind of struggling on the follower size,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: but you're like, I really love this space. I want
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: to work with brands pitch them content right that every
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: brand needs content. Brands are needing it now more than ever.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: And don't always focus on what I call like the
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: sexy big brand. Think about the local brands, Think about
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: brands that maybe are on Amazon, that are smaller or
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: up and coming. It doesn't always have to be the
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Lululemons and the Nikes of the world. Yeah, those are great,
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: but there's room for everyone. And if you're just getting started,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: you haven't monetized yet. I always say start small, build
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: up that confidence. Work with some smaller brands. You know,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: smaller brands also have budget. There's this big misconception that
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: they don't that is not true. Oftentimes they're hungrier and
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: they are more excited to work with creators than maybe
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: some of these big brands. So don't sleep on the
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: smaller brand. And if you made it this part, I'm
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: gonna go ahead and give you guys a bunch of
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: little gifts. Make sure you head over to our free
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: resource library. There's tons of worksheets and PDFs and they're
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: all free just for you guys, to support you in
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: your creator journey. I'll go ahead and leave a link
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: to our free resource library in the bottom as well.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: You guys can download these worksheets and get right to it.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Remember the big takeaway here, Sometimes brands don't even know
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: that you're available for hire, and that's the first thing
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: that we got to do is let them know that
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: you're even available to work. We I hope you enjoyed
