I Started Accepting Sponsorships as an Influencer — Here’s What Happened
And, How Much I Made in My First Week
It’s really funny to call myself an influencer. The truth is, I’ve been online blogging and active on social media for nearly the past ten years.
How It All Started
It all started with my e-commerce store. I grew the store’s Instagram account to just under 100K fans in a year and with it came a stream of steady sales that helped me reached $30K+ per month revenue.
After selling the store, the allure of blogging got to me.
I had worked with many bloggers before, with my online store but, I always thought bloggers were poor and only worked for clothes.
While a lot of influencers do accept gifts in exchange for collaborating, many get paid hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands of dollars to talk about a company for 60 seconds.
I found an article on Pinterest that turned me onto how much bloggers can really make.
