By Jhoni | September 13, 2020 | How to hear more yes's I made this Blog pink to soften this blow...snatching edges...but I love y'all...So many small business owners or even influencers just getting started do a ton of “reaching out” and they either don't hear back or hear a no. I have a feeling I know why. Let’s talk about it. This may feel like redundant material, but I think it is so necessary to understand if you want to utilize influence marketing. Lets dive right into it with 4 major points.
1. Business is conducted via email. I know in this social media generation, we tend to think that a DM is the new email. It’s not. If you are attempting to secure any major campaigns with an influencer, it would behoove you to find this person’s email. I’ll use my instagram account as an example. I get, easily, 20 DMs per day. Most of them are spam or men shooting their shot. I don’t view my instagram DM as a place where business gets conducted, so if you send me a DM, my reply will be to send me an email. The second reason is that I WILL be discussing budgets...I don’t do free promo, so the kind of money I will be discussing needs to happen via email. Influencers pitching brands, the same thing applies. Do not dare DM a major company asking to work together. I guarantee you’ll get ignored. With that said, I'm sure you can DM some influencers and get a response...usually when you are offering free product for an IG post or shout-out. As people grow in their influencer journey, the prices they require increase, contracts are now necessary and business will be conducted via email. By Jhoni | September 7, 2020 | Q&A with Jhoni New Month. New Q&AOk. As my follower count grows (I love y'all for that), I get new questions. For those of you new to my blog, I do a monthly Q&A. So feel free to email me or DM questions you would like answered. Now let's get into it.
Are you single? No. Lol. Its evident if you look at my social media..but I keep getting this question anyway. Are you going to color your hair again? Yes I am! Y'all been getting me together about my color fading lol. You have to remember that coloring your hair is a delicate process. The idea is balancing the beauty and the health. With that said, I can't color my hair as soon as the color isn't as vibrant. I have to make sure that the moisture is there, the protein is there and that my hair is happy first. So, I will be coloring it very soon! I'm happy with the moisture level of my locs. I'm also working on some sponsorship behind this next dye job..because..well...Im an influencer lol. Do you do free promo? This is a great question. For the most part, businesses want to give free product in exchange for promo through an influencer's page. Influencers have to be careful, though, to not keep accepting free product for deliverables that they want to be paid for. There are certain deliverables I will accept free product for, however, for the most part my services require a budget. |
