  13. The Cost of Influencers (Hack The System) Some influencers (especially micro-influencers) take product as payment • Especially if you find the ones that would naturally like your product • Pay them something and increase the payment as their influence and audience grows • Identify micro-influencers and early influencers who are growing • Use SocialBlade (or any other similar tool) to track growth and engagement • Monitor for a few months to identify the right influencers • Start working with them early and grow with them! • They will always remember you and want to do more for you • They are less bombarded by requests • They are more likely to keep you at a lower rate going forward • Increase the rate as they grow (like a friend would do) • Manage the relationship and be their friend • 13

The Cost of Influencers Consider their Engagement Value • They have 25,000 followers, Charging $1000 for the post • Last 20 normal posts saw 8% engagement, last sponsored post saw 5% • 2000 Engaged Followers on normal posts, 1250 Engaged on last Sponsored Post = 1625 Potential Engaged Users • $1000 ÷ 1625 = $0.62 per Engaged User • • Don’t be afraid to negotiate prices, but be fair and transparent as to why Considering throwing events and attending events where Influencers are • • Don’t try to sell them, but rather connect and make real connections Talk about your product and give it away if you can • Put a face to the product • Business comes from personal connection • 14

Stay Relevant!  Use both Micro and Macro Influencers 16
