What Is An Influencer, And Why Should You Become One?
An influencer is simply someone with the power to influence the purchasing decisions of others. We actually like the word "Ambassador" better because in our ambassador business, we get paid to talk about products that we love. For this article, we'll use the terms interchageably.
In the world of outdoor brands, ambassadors can have a big impact on which products become popular and which ones fade into obscurity. As an influencer, you have the ability to shape the conversation around outdoor brands, and your endorsement can make all the difference.
If you're thinking about becoming an ambassador, there are a few things you should keep in mind. First, it's important to be authentic and transparent. Your audience needs to know that you have a genuine love for outdoor brands, and they need to trust that you'll always give honest reviews. Second, be selective in who you collaborate with. Not every outdoor brand is worth your time and effort, so choose wisely. Finally, don't be afraid to put in the work. Influencers who are successful are usually the ones who are constantly creating new content and engaging with their audience. So if you're ready to start making a real difference in the outdoor world, becoming a product ambassador is a great way to do it.
How To Become An Influencer
These days, it seems like everyone is trying to become an influencer. While it's true that influencers can enjoy a life of luxury and privilege, it's not as easy as it looks. To be successful, you need to have an engaged social media following, and you also need to be able to work with outdoor brands. If you're not already an outdoor enthusiast, becoming one is a good place to start. Outdoor brands are always looking for new faces to promote their products, so getting involved with the outdoor community is a great way to get started. There are also a number of online courses available that can teach you the basics of social media marketing. With hard work and dedication, anyone can be a product ambassador.
Brands Need You
It used to be that a brand could run ads on radio, tv, or in the newspaper. Those were basically "Big media". And it was really expensive to advertise on big media. Of course those were the days of guys like Bill Dance, Roland Martin, and Al Lindner. Times have changed quite a bit, and the traditional methods of reaching an audience are basically gone.
Now because of the internet and social media channels, virtually anybody can build an audience and be an ambassador. We live at an amazing time in history, where there is massive opportunity. What used to be traditional television is now YouTube. What used to be traditional radio is now a podcast. What used to be traditional word of mouth is now your Facebook network. What used to be mail is now email. What used to be a newspaper is now basically a blog.
From a brand's perspective, they can connect with ambassadors with a social audience and get their products in front of thousands, even millions, for pennies on the dollar from what it used to be. They're looking for people like you to connect with so they can sell their products. This is where you need to make a mindset shift because in short, brands need you!
