We all have a "Circle of Influence" for the people who rely on us for one thing or another, or think of us as their go-to source.
However having influence and being an influencer has certain ramifications, and each works in specific ways. Yes, you may be one or the other or you may even be both. But, if you're a digital creator, the influence you have with a targeted audience can translate into dollars and streams of revenue for you.
If, you understand how to leverage your influence to help yourself and partners or sponsors, too.
Besides challenging me to do a LIVE interview recently, Stephanie Garcia shares a ton of secrets to illuminate the ins and outs and ups and downs of influencer marketing. And because influencer marketing represents a multi-billion dollar (and growing) marketing industry for small and large businesses and brands, you may want grab Stephanie's new book, co-written by Eric Butow.
Ultimate Guide to Influencer Marketing is an A-Z Guide to a solid and well-built influencer campaign that fits and enhances the brand while capitalizing on the perfectly fitted influencer's input. Stephanie is so fun and gracious in explaining the most important details to create a successful collaboration between companies and influencers.
