Make money with a little outside help.
When you’re starting out on social media as an influencer, it’s extremely difficult to get paid. As you continue to grow your following, it becomes easier to get brand deals. ENTITY has a list of three platforms that offer social media influencer jobs for both small and large influencers.
Heartbeat specifically targets “nano-influencers,” or influencers with 1000 to 5000 followers on Instagram, to match with brands. While users have complained about waiting for a long time before finding a campaign, there are users who have stated that they did a campaign and received $10 or $20 for their efforts.
Unfortunately, if you have less than 1000 followers on Instagram, you’ll have a hard time finding social media influencer jobs on this application. Wait to grow your influence before testing it out.
According to social media influencer Krystal Everdeen, who appears in the video above, BrandSnob usually requires you to have a significant following on social media. It is targeted towards Instagram influencers. She states that it’s “kind of like Tinder, where you swipe right or left” to see if you match with brands. If both a brand and an influencer like each other, they will be matched.
She states that while BrandSnob’s social media influencer jobs always come with free merch or products, the brands do not always offer compensation. She has received payment for her promotional posts at times, but it is not a guarantee.
For any YouTubers out there, FameBit is the influencer network for you! Everdeen also reviews this platform in her video and confirms that FameBit is not a scam. She describes the process as clicking on the sponsorship, reading the requirements and niche the brand is looking for, writing a proposal and waiting for a response.
Out of the 30 proposals she sent, she received one sponsorship, so it is fairly hard to land these deals despite being part of the network. However, this is the sacrifice users have to make in order to get paid. According to Everdeen, every brand has to pay at least $50 to the creators. So if you want to make money, have a substantial following on YouTube and don’t mind waiting around for a while, this is the platform for you.
We hope you land those social media influencer jobs! If you don’t want to join any platforms and are still searching, check out LinkedIn’s brand ambassador listings here.
Good luck!
