In recent years influencer marketing gained momentum over traditional digital marketing, and it is a hot topic for everybody these days. To promote their products, prestigious advertisers spend fortunes on influencer marketing. 

It is the known fact that running influencer marketing campaigns consume plenty of resources, including significant budgets alongside with a small-size separate team. However, what if you are a company with a limited budget, a startup, or you simply do not have the money to pay an agency to start an influencer marketing campaign for you. You cannot afford celebrities, but you also want to be promoted in social media efficiently. Firsts are always harder than seconds, but Keepface makes every step of the process easier for you. 

Sure you have already heard about influencer marketing but let’s briefly sum it up now. Influencer marketing goes conjointly with two other types of marketing which are probably more familiar to you: social media marketing and content marketing. Influencer marketing, on the other hand, is a type of marketing that content creators- influencers- that have a unique relationship with a particular audience to promote a brand through social media. 

Word of mouth marketing has always been the most dominant form of marketing, from the first time when people start to sell their products, the verbal message still stands valid today. So influencer marketing is based on the fact that consumers trust other consumers more than they believe advertisers.

Here is the list of key steps to make influencer marketing work for your business.

#1 Set Your Goals

This will help you to find the right influencer for your brand. Why would you like to work with influencers? What are your goals? What are you looking for? Impressions? Clicks? Conversions? All these metrics serve to measure the performance of your campaign. 

Awareness

Awareness is your main goal if it is your first promotion or you are promoting a new product. It is better to advertise your brand through influencers from a specific niche. Impressions are key metrics for measuring awareness.

Community Engagement

You may grow awareness about your brand or products in multiple ways, but this one is the greatest and favorable. Engagement helps to see the customer attitude towards your brand. Trigger responses from a specific community, through vouchers, contests, and targeted campaigns. This helps your content reach new users, and gives the influencer something unique to offer their followers.

“It’s important to gain trust initially rather than focus entirely on how you’re going to earn. It can take time, but ultimately worth it,” comments Ruban Selvanayagam of UK homebuying company / group, Property Solvers.

Sales

The sale is the ultimate goal of any project. But if it is your primary goal, you need to focus on click and conversions. The niche community you target may prove to be a good and reliable source of customers.

Business Fit

Along with social media metrics you need to pay attention to other qualities like niche and brand fit. The importance of the influencer niche is laid on a coherent base because you need to be sure that it aligns with yours. In other words, any influencer you choose needs to be in accordance with your particular audience. 

Reputation is another crucial factor to consider when finding an influencer even though some influencers have a loyal following but alienate many others. If the influencer you want to engage in is not an authentic person, consider the fact that you may forfeit your potential or existing customers.

Once you know what you aim to achieve, you can set a budget to pay an influencer for your brand. This also lets you think about how to reward influencers. For example, you may consider an upfront payment in addition to the commission for any sales made.

#2 Identify Your Channels

Before all else, your audience has to be your first concern. What do your potential clients or customers like? Where do they spend their time? Then think about yourself: what is the most estimable thing for your brand? Which channel do you want to grow and which one would be the place you can thrive? By knowing your consumers well you will easily incorporate those data to your influencer marketing. 

First, determine which social media platforms you should use based on your business. You can grow your website through influencers on specific niches or just through specific bloggers who generate a lot of traffic and write about things comparable to your technique or you can go with social media platforms.

Instagram

Now an almost $2 billion industry, Instagram influencer marketing has taken the social media world by storm. The app offers the perfect space for the brand ambassadorship, with influential users authentically recommending products and services to their loyal audience. With the influencer space estimated to grow to a $5-10 billion industry by 2021, it’s a marketing force that isn’t going anywhere.

Youtube

YouTube is swiftly becoming one of the most popular influencer marketing channels. With recent advancements in internet speeds, video content has become the most preferred content for online activities. While you will find videos on most social networks now, and Instagram has even created a competing long-form video platform – IGTV, YouTube is still the de-facto place for people to come to get their video fix. 

Facebook

In many ways, Instagram has grown to be the star of the Facebook stable of social media apps. It may no longer be the social network of choice for adolescents, but it can even claim dominance of the social market, with over 2.32 billion active users at the end of 2018.

We don’t talk about Facebook influencer marketing as much as we do marketing on Instagram. But if your target demographic uses Facebook, it is where your influencer marketing should be.  

Twitter

As of 2019, there are approximately 330 million active monthly users on Twitter, making it one of the biggest social networks globally. Consider the steady growth in the number of active monthly users on Twitter for the past few years. 

TikTok

As with all influencer and social media marketing, you have to avoid coming across as too salesy on TikTok. This is particularly the case because of TikTok’s youthful demographic – advertisers find Generation Z notoriously difficult to reach because of their total disdain for anything that resembles a traditional advertisement. As with all influencer marketing, the key to success on TikTok is working with influencers whose followers match your target market. 

#3 Find Your Influencers

After doing numerous research the next thing is finding the influencers to work with you and to create compelling campaigns around your brand. And to roll with your campaign, you have to make sure that you have a perfect influencer brief. 

But, you shouldn’t be a hundred percent sure that they’ll work with you. Sometimes it’s unlikely that they’re accessible from a financial or logistical viewpoint. Also, it’s worth knowing that the influencers you’ve picked might not be in your niche, that means they won’t help you to spread your business’s message to the right people.

At Keepface Influencer Discovery you can easily find the right influencers for your brand without spending extra time and money. If you truly want a successful marketing campaign, you’ll need professionals to do the tasks for you. 

There are no strict rules to prevent you from getting creative or let your influencer be the one. If you use the opportunities social media presents for you to connect with your audience and rely on your influences to act on behalf of you, all those efforts will yield fruitful results.

#4 Manage the Relationship

After hiring influencers for your campaign, you need to nurture the relationship with them for further collaborations. Keep in mind that influencers are business people just like you, with a job to do and a reputation to uphold. 

#5 Measure the Results

You’ve concluded your influencer marketing campaign, now time to measure the results versus your original goals to put a figure on whether it’s worth repeating. Did you get more followers, impressions, leads, clicks, or sales? Calculate your ROI too. What results did you get for the time and money?

Ready to Roll Out Your Influencer Campaign?

Once you’ve assessed your results, then you’ll have an idea of what worked and how to proceed next time to do your utmost. Rinse and repeat the steps for the upcoming campaign. You will have a clear picture of who you’ll work with during your next campaign, and it will help you to refine your strategy. Keepface provides advertisers with all the necessary information they need for influencer marketing. 

Nevertheless, if you are not getting desired results, try a different approach to your influencer marketing. The marketing business changes in a blink of an eye, but these main concepts will mostly hold. Now it’s time to go out there and make the most out of influencer marketing!

Life has changed considerably over the last several weeks. Many of us are under stay-at-home orders and there are policies that are preventing us from going about our lives as usual. The impact on business has been dramatic, and professionals in the field, especially those at a digital marketing agency, are wondering how they can respond.

On one front, marketing professionals have been working from home so the functions of marketing can continue when they can’t go to the office. While this has been helpful, there is a recognition that the business landscape has changed and marketing departments will have to adjust. Plans that were on track a few months ago may no longer be relevant, so many of us will need to look into coronavirus resources for businesses and find ways to adapt to the new reality. 

Marketers are going to play a vital role in helping businesses adapt during the coronavirus pandemic. Businesses may need to make a shift in the types of products they sell or they might need to change their messaging to reach customers or clients in a way that is more likely to resonate in light of the new reality.

The following are a few of the steps and strategies for marketers and business leaders who are trying to figure out what they can do to respond to the coronavirus outbreak.

Keep Your Clients and Customers Up to Date

Whether you are a business selling products, a B2B service provider or a marketing professional, you have to stay in close contact with your customers and clients at this time. Along with that, you have to acknowledge the current circumstances. If you try to carry on like things are normal, you are going to seem out of touch and unprepared.

Let them know what you are doing to respond to the crisis and assure them that you can still meet their needs. Make sure they know you can develop plans to help their businesses during this difficult time. 

You should also stay in touch so you can learn about the challenges they are facing. Ask them about what they need from you and what you can do to better support their mission. 

This contact can be in the form of phone calls or through email, but you should also make sure to keep people informed by posting on social media and by releasing information on your website. 

Assess Your Market Position 

It is actually a great time to reassess and adjust your market position. People are staying at home and using the internet more than they normally would, so this offers the perfect opportunity to get new messaging out there. 

Start by looking at your ideal customer. Is it the same person it was a few months ago or last year? Consider how your product or service is going to benefit your customers and think of ways to demonstrate the benefits. With an understanding of who your customer is and how they can benefit from your product or service, you can create messaging that will resonate and inspire action.

Once you know your ideal customer and the value proposition you are offering, you should consider your market positioning strategy. Do you want to be a cost leader by offering the most competitive prices on the market? Maybe you want to differentiate your brand and target a segment of the market. You could also consider combining these two positioning strategies together.

Adjust Your Marketing Strategy

Now that you have established an ideal customer and you know how you want to position your brand, you can start developing a marketing strategy to meet your goals. 

Take a look at the audience you are pitching to. What is their age group? Are you selling primarily to men or women? Are you selling to businesses or consumers? Does your ideal customer fit into a specific income range? What are their interests? 

The list of questions could go on. The more specific you get, the easier it will be to target the right customers with the right messaging. It will also help you select the right marketing strategy and the marketing channels that will be most effective when trying to reach the customers you want to reach.

Prepare for the Future

Finally, this is a good time to prepare your marketing strategy for the “what ifs”. Most of us did not see the coronavirus coming, and that left us scrambling to react without much of a plan. Now is the time to try to forecast what may happen, run some tests and make plans for different possible outcomes.

Look at different timelines for the economy in your area reopening. Consider the possibility that some of these timelines might change and try to project what the impact will be on your business for different scenarios. Maybe run some market research and try to project the numbers for things like expenses and revenues. Think about how your marketing strategy will need to change to respond to different outcomes and the messaging you will need to have ready for these events.

Marketing won’t be able to solve every problem that businesses experience as the result of the coronavirus, but it should play an important part in the response. By reviewing your marketing strategy and making the necessary adjustments, you can keep your business in the minds of customers and reassure them that you can continue to meet their needs.

Imagine coming to the office every day and opening your laptop to find hundreds of emails from prospects who are hungry to do business with your startup.

While this can be a dream for many startups, the reality is that millions of searches happen every day on Google and if you can get a fraction of those users to reach your website through Search Engine Optimization, you could end up with more customers than you really need.

How to Choose an Affordable SEO Package

SEO Packages can range from as low as AED 500 per month to as high as AED 18,000 per month. The range is so wide that most startups make the mistake of going with the cheapest offers. Google has some of the smartest engineers in the world working on their search algorithm and if the startup believes that an agency charging AED 500 per month can get their site on the front page of Google for the chosen keyword, they could be living in an alternative reality. When a user searches using a keyword, within a faction of a second Google has to decide which 7 sites they have to show on the front page from among the millions of sites that they have in their Bigtable.

Bigtable is a distributed storage system (built by Google) for managing structured data that is designed to scale to a very large size: Petabytes of data across thousands of commodity servers. Many projects at Google store data in Bigtable, including web indexing, Google Earth, and Google Finance.

Affordability is not what matters

SEO has one of the highest conversion rates of all marketing channels but it also happens to be the toughest channel to get traffic from Google’s mission is to bring relevant information to users and if your website is not relevant enough to the user, no matter how many links you build to your site it is not going to show up on the front page.

In fact, when startups hire cheap SEO agencies they are hiring companies which use software to generate thousands of backlinks to their site. In the past, SEO was based on the number of backlinks that a website had and the more links you had, the higher the chance to rank on the front page of Google

That is no longer the case today and if you wish to go from zero traffic per month to 4712 visitors a month (like the one shown below), you can longer depend on backlinks.

Give Google What it Wants

If Google is trying to be as relevant to its audience as possible, your SEO efforts should be centered around relevancy and the smartest way to get an affordable SEO Package in Dubai would be to hire an agency that can make your site highly relevant to the search term that you are trying to rank for.

Google’s relevancy score is based on technical relevance including site hierarchy, tags, descriptions, structured data markup and internal linking. The content relevancy is based on keyword usage, semantic context and depth of content authority. Off Page relevancy comes from the domain authority of the site, range of contextual links pointing to the site and the inflow of traffic.

Growth Hack for SEO

Most startups would like to know if there is a growth hack for SEO and fortunately for you a secret growth hack does exist! It is being used by SEO agencies like Seo Souq and what they do is when they take on a new SEO project they blog about it on LinkedIn (which has a domain authority of 98) and get thousands of people from LinkedIn to visit the Startup website. If the content on the website is highly optimized, the bounce rate on the site will be below 30% which is a key indicator of the site’s quality inside Google Analytics. This combination of new traffic from a high authority domain and low bounce rate is a powerful signal to Google that the new site is highly relevant and worthy of being shown on the front page of Google.

Final Decision

As you can see, SEO packages range from AED 500 per month to AED 18,000 per month and there are thousands of options available in the UAE. However, your decision to choose an SEO agency should be carefully evaluated based on the outcome that you are expecting.

Kabul etsekte etmesekte sosyal medya olmadan hayatımızı hayal edemeyiz. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter ve diğer sosyal medya platformlarının patlamasından önce bile, markalar ünlüleri (eskiden onları kadın ve erkek oyuncu etkileyicileri olarak adlandırmazdık) reklamlarında kullanırdı ve potansiyel müşterilere ulaşmanın ve etkilemenin en etkili yolu olarak görürlerdi. Sosyal medyanın ani yükselişiyle birlikte,influencer marketing (etkileyici pazarlama) dünyası büyük ölçüde değişti. Aylık 1 milyardan fazla aktif kullanıcısı olan Instagram, dünyanın en başarılı sosyal medya ağıdır. Birçok harika özellikleri sayesinde Instagramda kampanya süreci hem influencer hem de marka için gözle görülür derecede kolaylaşmıştır. 

Ünlülerin ilk influencer’ler olduğunu söyleresek yanılmış sayılmayız. Markalar kitle tarafından en çok sevilen kadın ve erkek oyuncularla anlaşma imzalamak için birbirleriyle yarışıyorlar. Belki geçmişte değil, ama şimdi hemen hemen her ajans promosyon amaçları için  tüm oyuncuların  “takipçileri”ni de dikkate alıyor. Sadece ünlü bir marka için bazı içerikleri paylaşmak, oyuncu influencer’larla anlaşma imzalamak anlamına gelmiyor. Dahası, çok sayıda takipçiye sahip olmak, önemli bir katılım olmadan o kadar da büyük bir anlam ifade etmiyor.

Yukarıda söylediğimiz sebepleri ele alarak, markalar için her şeyin sorunsuz sonuçlanmasını sağlamak nedeniyle sizin için doğru influencer’leri buluyoruz. Keepface‘in geniş hizmet çeşitliliği ile, sponsorlu içerik, incelemeler, marka elçisi rolü ve bunun gibi diğer hizmetlerimizi muhteşem oyuncu influencer’lerimizle işbirliği yapmanın birden fazla yolunu size sunuyoruz.

Oyunculuk hayatına ilk kez 2006’da Yaprak Dökümü dizisinde Deniz karakteriyle adım atan Neslihan Atagül kısa sürede şöhret basamaklarını bir-bir aşarak zirveye yükselmiştir. Güzelliği ve yeteneği ile izleyenlerin dikkatini çeken oyuncu sosyal medyada da kendinden bahs ettiriyor. 11.8 milyon takipçisi olan güzel oyuncu paylaştığı göz alıcı içeriklerle herkesi kendine bir daha hayran bırakmaktadır. 

Güzellik konusunun sağlık ve sıhhat ile birlikte insanların listelerinde üst sıralarda olduğunu fark etmiş olmanız gerek. Sağlıklı olmanın yanı sıra genç ve güzel görünmek istememiz gizleyebileceğimiz bir şey değil. Güzellik alanındakı fenomenlerin sosyal medyayı şekillendirdiğini ve en son pazarlama trendlerine hızlı bir şekilde uyum sağladığını görmemek mümkün değil.

Kendinizi güzellik alanında görenlerden biriyseniz, daha spesifik olarak, diğer insanlar için ilham kaynağı olacak kişi olmak istiyorsanız, o zaman doğru yerdesiniz.Bu adımları izleyerek, bir güzellik influenceri kariyerine sıfırdan başlayabilirsiniz. Hadi o zaman, ne duruyoruz, işe koyulalım, işte ipuçlarınız.

Paylaşdığınız İçeriği “Kraliçe” Yapın

Hiç kimse ilk denemede bir makyaj dehası ya da cilt bakım gurusu olmanızı beklemiyor, ama sonunda bunu da yapmanız gerekecektir. Kitlenizin sizi ciddiye almasını istiyorsanız, cilt bakımının arkasındakı temel bilimi veya saç ve cildi etkileyen farklı bileşenleri bilmeniz gerekir.

Saçlarımın daha hızlı büyümesini nasıl sağlayabilirim? Makyaj fırçaları nasıl temizlenir? Rutin cilt bakımım ne olmalıdır? Göz çevresindeki kahverengi lekelerden nasıl kurtulabiliriz? Tırnaklarımı nasıl güçlendirebilirim?

Tüm cevaplar sizden bir tık uzakta. Zamanınızın çoğunu araştırmaya harcayın ve ardından takipçilerinize göz alıcı bir şekilde sunun. Bununla birlikte, sınırlarınızı  aşmak istiyorsanız, bu konuyla ilgili derslere, güzellik kongrelerine ve hatta seminerlere katılabilirsiniz, bunlar sizi en son trendlere güncel tutacaktır. Güzellik endüstrisinde de yeni araştırma ve teknolojiye her zaman dikkat edin.

Bir güzellik influencer’i olmak sadece her seferinde şık görünmekle ilgili değildir. Aynı zamanda mükemmel ürün ve endüstri bilgisine sahip olmak, lansmanlar, güzellik hackleri ve en son saç ve makyaj trendleri ile güncel kalmakla ilgilidir. Başarılı bir influencer olmak için, pazarlamanın püf noktalarını ve sosyal medya platformlarını anlamanız gerekir.

Nişinizi Doğru Seçin

Hepimiz güzelliğin çok kapsamlı  bir konu olduğu konusunda hemfikir olabiliriz ve sadece tek bir kişinin güzelliğin her yönünü bilmesi mümkün olmayabilir. Genel bilgiye sahip olmak en iyisidir, ancak çabalarınızı odak yönünüze koymak daha iyidir.

Ekstra para kazanmak için bazı güzellik ürünleri satmak isteyebilirsiniz, ancak enerjiniz cilt bakımı, saç bakımı veya daha dar konuları hedefleyebilir ki, kitleniz sizi bu konuda guru olarak görecektir.

Niş bir kitleye sahip güzellik influencerlerinin, kozmetik ve moda markalarının ürün tanıtımı için dikkat ettikleri kişiler olduğunu bilmeniz gerekir.

Sosyal Medya Hesaplarınızı Geliştirin

En önemli sorulardan biri, takipçilerinize nasıl ulaşacağınızdır? Bu soru için güçlü sosyal medya platformları geliştirmeniz gerekiyor.

Bu kısmı ciddiye almak çok önemlidir, çünkü para kazanmak istiyorsanız, bunu bir iş olarak yapmak zorundasınız. İlk olarak  kendinizi daha sonra ürün ve hizmeti satmak gerekecektir.

Asla İnstagram ile sınırlamayın. Kanatlarınızı açabildiğin kadar açın. Kendinizi görünür, yararlı, aktif, kalıcı, ulaşılabilir ve erişilebilir hale getirmeniz gerekir. İçeriğiniz takipçilerinizin isteklerini yansıtmalı ve onların istedikleri içeriği vermek için dinleme becerilerinizi kullanmanız gerekecektir.

Kendinizi bir marka haline getirmek oyun değiştiren bir eylemdir. Seçtiğiniz renk, stil, içerik vb. insanlara sizin özel biri olduğunuzu düşünmenizi sağlayacaktır.

İçeriğinizi ilgi çekici ve paylaşılabilir hale getirin. Takipçilerinizin yararlı ipuçlarınızı başkalarıyla paylaşmalarına teşvik edin. Ayrıca, hashtag’ler sizin için bulutları temizleyecek, içeriğinizi kategorize etmenize yardımcı olacak ve doğru hashtag’ler anında size daha fazla takipçi kazandırabilir. Birçok güzellik şirketi mikro influencer’lerle işbirliği yapmak istiyor ve çoğu zaman #discoverunder10k kullanıyor.  

Bir şey daha, bariz #güzellik, #makyaj hashtag’leri artık yararlı olmayabilir. Bunların yerine, #organic, #instamakeup, #ciltbakımı, #IGciltbakımı #bakımzamanı gibi hashtag’ler kitlenizin Instagramda paylaşımlarınızı atlayıp geçmesi yerine özel ilgi alanlarına göre bulmasına yardımcı olurlar.  

Hesabınızı en son trendler, ürün fotoğrafları ve benzeri ile karıştırdığınız sürece hangi sosyal medya devini seçtiğiniz önemli değildir. Daha fazla platform, daha fazla insan demektir. unutmayın. Günlük mesajları paylaşmak, kendinizi aktif tutmak kendinizi bu nişe adadığınızı hissettirecek ve bu işi ciddiye aldığınız için takip edilmeyi hak eden kişi siz olacaksınız.

Karışmak Yerine Öne Çıkın

Bu sektörde vizyonulu bir güzellik influenceri olduğunu iddia eden milyonlarca insan var. O zaman seni bu insanlardan farklı kılan nedir? Neden özelsin? Tüm bunların yanısıra yaratıcı olmak için beyninizi kullanın, kendinizi rakiplerinizden ayırın. Denemek istediğiniz fikir daha önce kullanılmışsa, size Pablo Picasso’nun bir keresinde çaldığı bir cümleyi hatırlatmama izin verin: “Amatörler ödünç alır, profesyoneller çalar”.

Benzersizliğiniz, herkesin kendilerinden bir şeyleri bulabileceği paylaşımlarınız, ipuçları ve püf noktalarınız, güncel ve modaya uygun içeriğiniz, ilgi çekici ve çeşitlendirilmiş konularınız ve düzenli bilgi akışınız sizi diğerlerinden farklı kılan özelliklerdir.

Markanızı Tanıtın

“Aman Tanrım, markam yok” diyebilirsin, ama bizim sana cevabımız şudur ki “tatlım, sen bir markasın.” Kendini çılgınca tanıt.

Bir avuç takipçi için itibarınızı feda etmeyin, her zaman takipçilerinizle aranızı iyi tutun. Kitleniz sizi fark ediyorsa, yaptığınız her şeyi fark edecektir: iyi, kötü ve çirkin 

İşe koyulmak için şimdiden daha iyi bir zaman mı var? Artık güzellik influencer’i olmanın yollarını biliyorsun. O halde ne bekliyorsun? Kollarını sıva ve işe koyul.

Doing the work you have a passion for is not actual work, it’s a hobby. Earning your life from the hobby is one of the best things you can do with your life. If you are reading this you probably had an experience with “ the real job” and positively you are fed up with it and now time to turn your passion into a career.

First and foremost setback in this mighty process is what kind of hobby will possibly let you keep  having a quality of life when you are not working 9 to 5 business based work. Before making life changing decisions you need to have short and long term goals. Planning to monetize your passion is the most important part of the process.

There are millions of people out there who are pursuing their dreams and interests, eventually thriving them into a career. The hobby is something that you take pleasure doing in your spare time. This might be taking photos, cooking, gardening, performing, gaming, caring for animals, writing etc. the list can go on and on but the crucial point is how to spend less time working and more time enjoying your passion and earning your life.

What Does Your Heart Desire?

At this point of our blog we are going to talk about influencing. You may think, wait I was planning to do my hobby and earn money how come I need to know about influencing. The thing is the society we live in demands us to put something on the table if we want to make money . In your case it’s making people trust you.  Here is why random people rely on your personal decisions. 

You may not realize but being an influencer is quite a ruthless process. You can put all the effort but people may not be interested in, this time you either change your mind or give your everything to your audience.

Influencing is a vitally important leadership skill which you have a control over others choices, opinions and behaviours. In order to be in charge of others, you need to make them trust you. And believe it or not, the reward of your efforts will yield a profit after deepening the trust between you and the people who follow your steps. 

Find Your Niche

Once you get enough people to follow you, the number  doesn’t need to be immerse, because well-read brands are not essentially focusing on a huge audience, they are in the search of people who have an ability to encourage others and to act on their recommendations. 

If  you have a quick look on Instagram, you will see millions of fitness influencers, on Youtube gamers, travellers ruling over people’s interests. So how will you make yourself stand out from the crowd? You need to specialize your content. 

Let me give you a little personal example; there is a boy on Youtube called Milad Mirg. As a person who loves to watch food making videos I accidentally came across a video. I saw a person making subway sandwiches (seemed yummy), while sharing short stories. Now he answers the questions from the comment section while making appealing foods. Videos are either a few seconds or 1-2 minutes long. He has more than 1.21 Million subscribers. 

All I want to tell you is you don’t necessarily need to stand out to be a successful social media influencer. Just be authentic and engaging with your audience, inspire them while enjoying yourself. Only then will your niche be as plain as nose on your face.

Monetize Your Influence

After finding the best match to your interests, the thing which gives you tremendous satisfaction, another vital part arises from here which is to make money out of it. Nowadays the majority of people claim that influencing is not an actual career, yet the same mass of people want to be one of them. So when you determine about starting your career as an influencer, never let those people discourage you. Major part of the influencers getting paid for promoting brands’ products and services. Sponsorship is the great way to make a big chunk of money. 

In one of our previous blogs we explained why content is the king of influencer marketing. Thereof your content will decide your further partnership for you. The better content, the better partnership algorithm works most of the time. Your relevance as an influencer, reach and engagement rate highlights your distinguished features, but brands possibly will scroll down your social media accounts to make sure the quality of the content you created to make sure your influence is worth to pay.

No matter how detailed you have been taught, the only essential step to achievement comes from experience. Before getting solid results you might wait months or even years, patience and commitments will honour your satisfying outcome. Creating authentic, appealing content and putting consistent effort on your work will drive brands to collaborate with you undoubtedly.  One blog couldn’t be enough to explain the whole concept, so maybe we will meet the other one again.  

If  we don’t take into consideration today’s fuss about influencer marketing strategies and take a look at the history we will see that influencer marketing has even started before the creation of social media. The definition of the “influencer” is a person with the ability to influence potential buyers of a product or service by promoting or recommending the items on social media. Clear message and easy to understand but is it? Can anybody be an influencer? 

What makes a Person an Influencer

Beautiful minds inspire others. Just think, do we like influencers just because we want to be like them?  The answer is  yes for some of us, but for the rest of us, we value the effort they put in their work. The influencers inspire us to be the best version of ourselves, do the right thing in every condition and keep pushing our boundaries.

The influencers take action deliberately. They don’t have magic sticks which make all of their dreams come true. They build their name bit by bit. No matter if we call them content creators, mentors, guides, experts or anything like that, they all serve to the same purpose. Creating the impact they were aiming for is their solemn duty.

Honesty saves everyone’s time. Indeed it does. Would you rely on someone who lies to you? Possibly there isn’t any worse thing for  an influencer to tell a lie and get caught. Because once it happens that influencer’s credibility flies out of the window and it’s unlikely to repair again. The reputation is the essence of the influencer’s ability to influence.

This is not a controversial matter, whether or not you have a great thought or actions, if you have people who think like you, in another word if they can relate with you, these people will follow you. However was this always like that? Let’s have a look at the dusty pages of history.

The Blonde Bombshell was on Duty

The Blonde Bombshell, Marilyn Monroe skyrocketed the sales of Chanel №5. In April 1952, Marilyn Monroe appeared for the first time on the cover of Life Magazine, and the article mentions her answer to the question, “What do you wear to bed?” and her reply, “a few drops of Chanel №5”.

Now when we see one or another celebrity praise a perfume it’s quite normal, but Marilyn Monroe was the first celebrity who was endorsing a perfume. Chanel №5 is the most famous and best selling perfume but the popularity of the icon escalated in the twinkling of an eye. 

After that brands discovered the way to use the power of popularity and public images of the celebrities they use it unceasingly. That was easier to entice potential customers with the personalization of celebrities’ looks and their ways of living. 

A Long Way from Down to the Top

Have you heard about Nancy Green? She was one of the first African American models in history to become the face of a popular food product. She didn’t have a beautiful body to show off, we can’t call her a scholar because she was’t. Nancy was a slave, then nanny and cook finally an influencer who fight against the racial discrimination. 

In 1889 Nancy Green was hired to promote a brand called “Aunt Jemima”. The product itself was out of ordinary for its time, self-rising pancake flour with a Black woman’s face on the box  made an instant hit across the country. If we look at the 21st century’s individual’s perspective, yes the design may seem racial and stereotypical nevertheless it was innovative for the 1880s. Green made the big chunk of money while working for the brand for 33 years until her unexpected death. Moreover she became one of the most influential advocates who spoke out against poverty and equal rights.

“Because They’re Worth It”

If you go out and ask a random person who is the second person did a revolutionary act in any case for the first time, it would be doubtful that you will find the right answer. However, we know our pioneers. In 1971, when women didn’t even have a voice over the product specifically manufactured for them, L’Oréal made something groundbreaking. Those days were special for the women’s rights movement  but still advertising controlled by men and women were completely left out.

“Because I’m Worth It” said brand ambassador Joanne Dusseau for the first time and it changed the views of women forever. Some sources claim that L’Oréal came up with this tagline because they wanted to beat their competitor Clairol and encourage women to spend more money on their product. Well, it worked. Because in the 70s almost every commercial featured male actors and showed their perspectives. If you take a look at Clairol’s ads in the 1970s you will see women with a male voiceover. However in the L’Oréal advertisement we see a woman who narrates that she  bought  a premium beauty product for the first time just for herself. The tagline slightly changed over the course of history and evolved its latest form, “ Because You’re Worth It”. Yet no matter how you comprehend it the slogan has been translated into 40 languages and it gave women confidence when they didn’t use to feel they are worth it. L’Oréal didn’t just became the pioneer in feminist advertising, more importantly it influenced the women’s outlooks about themselves.

It doesn’t matter who was the first influencer or when  exactly influencing has started. What we are making of it is the thing we need to focus on and thrive. Try to be a better influential leader to relate and impact others in a deep and sincere way.

We all will remember 2020 for its extraordinary challenges, probably as long as we live. Businesses big and small faced tough times and significant losses. The challenges of the pandemic combined with a lack of proper planning contributed to a global economic depression. Nobody could predict businesses would shut down and operation would either have to be shifted online or paused for months.

2020 taught us some important lessons, such as the need to always have a plan B, the relevance of online shopping platforms for business of all kinds, and the importance of digital infrastructure such as safe and reliable online payment systems. Content marketing has been popular for several years now, but it has not been consistently implemented across the board. Now, when still don’t know how long it will take to completely get back to normal, we need to plan this year differently. In this context, content marketing is more relevant than ever and is one of the best ways to promote your business and build revenue.

Build trust in your brand

In general, consumers favoured in-person purchases over virtual shopping before the COVID-19 pandemic. For this reason, a significant percentage of consumers are hesitant while shopping online because they aren’t yet comfortable with the process and they may be afraid of getting the wrong product or even being scammed.

In this context, quality content can make your customer comfortable and more likely to trust your brand. This trust will also help you to build a long-lasting relationship with your customers and potential customers.

COVID-19 made online shopping a must

The pandemic has put in-person shopping out of reach for many people, so as a replacement they have temporarily shifted to online shopping. This has turned into a golden opportunity for brands to produce quality content because if consumers develop trust in the business and their products, they will continue to buy these products online even after the pandemic is over.

Additionally, because customers have shifted online, they are looking for more information about brands and products to before making purchasing decisions. Therefore, investing in content marketing will help you to attract more site visitors and convert more visitors into sales.

Content market is not product marketing

Marketing alone does not generate optimal results: your customers will find plenty of alternatives online so you need to ensure your product stands out to beat the competition. Product marketing only deals with the marketing of one product. Consumers these days are increasingly cynical about advertising and marketing materials, and are skeptical about the claims you may make about your products in your web copy or advertising.

This is where content marketing comes in: engaging and interesting content that demonstrates all features of the product and why they are beneficial will convince your customers to make a purchase. 

What type of content should you produce?

Every brand has different content needs. Every product has a different target audience, so it is important to make sure that the content is will help you to reach the right audience, and be interesting and engaging for that audience. If the content will not engage your target audience of ideal customers, then it is essentially useless.

It is also important to keep content fresh: content should also be updated in order to stay relevant in today’s competitive market. Post new and relevant content regulary will allow you to continually engage with your audience.

2021 is the best opportunity to stand out

This year will be your big opportunity to make your brand stand out in the digital world. The online world is full of small companies and large brands, so it is your content that will show how interesting and unique your brand is.

As the world recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic slump, consumers will be exploring new brands and products, and content is your ticket to unlock this new business. Content marketing will not only help capture the attention of your potential customers through organic links and social media shares, but it can also boost your site’s SEO.

Build healthy relationships with your customers

Content marketing is also an excellent way to attract long-lasting customers. The relationship of any brand with its customers is based on trust and that is why providing them engaging and authoritative content is the foundation for lasting and loyal relationships with your customers.

Everything takes time

You need to be patient once you invest in content production. With time, a strong content marketing strategy will deliver results, but you won’t see these straight away. This is a long-term strategy and you need to keep monitoring your progress from and regularly update your content to get results. But most important, you need to stick with it and be patient – your investment will pay off in the long run!
