• Practice influencing something you love! 

  • Pick 3 products to practice promoting and give yourself a fake brief with mandatory mentionables.  Ex. Must mention that the candle is inspired by hotels, has 300 hours of burn time, and the coupon code.  

​

• Film yourself for this "practice collab" as if it were an Instagram story or a Short form video (like tiktok or reels) and DO IT RIGHT! 

  • Have your makeup done, bring your A game, just as if you were doing it for real. You can also do this with a youtube video or a blog post. Whatever you feel is best for your niche.

​

• Kindly critique your practice content.  Write down what could be better, and what you liked about it! Try to view it through the eyes of a random follower (if you didn't know yourself, would you like the content? would you buy the product?)

​

• Try again if needed, as many times as you feel is necessary. You’ll find it becoming much more natural as you go!

​

• Stay on top of your content calendar! Remember to set aside days for taking content, editing the content, posting the content, etc.

​

• Look up hashtags and engage with accounts within your niche like you did last week!

​

• Look up 5 more small-ish brands that fit your niche and engage with their content. Keep a list of the brands you've engaged with so far!

• 2023 update: again, feel free to look at bigger brands!  Times have changed and brands are always looking for fresh faces & microinfluencers! Shoot for the stars. Ya never know!
