@pov_husband: How much do influencers really make? My first brand deal experience. After turning it down I talked to an influencer manager that told me I was being low balled and someone with my following and niche can demand much more. It really comes down to the niche you're in and your views more than # of followers. The baby, family, finance space have a much higher ad budget than say a mom and pop restaurant or music store. He said his largest deal was $50,000 for one IG reel for a mega influencer. Made me realize how big the digital marketing space is and what some of these influencers could be making per post. This is really the new gold mine, larger than AI, and will grow faster than most other industries in the coming years.
