Unlock Brand Collaborations.

Brand Partnerships 101.

We learned this week how to unlock brand collaborations which most if not all content creators, influencers, and bloggers want to work with brands. The first point that we learned about is brand partnerships 101. What are brand partnerships? Brand partnerships are when a content creator, influencer, or blogger collaborate with a brand to produce content that promotes the brand’s product or services to the content creator, influencer, or blogger audience. What is great about these brand partnerships is that they leverage the creator’s influence and authentic voice to build trust, increase brand awareness, and drive sales. You the creator have the power to drive brand awareness to brand advocacy.

How To Make LTK Your Resume For Brand Collabs.

The next point that was talked about is how to make LTK your resume for brand collabs. You need to have these three things in order to make LTK your resume:

Authenticity-it is very important to be your authentic self. The reason why it is important to be your authentic self is because it builds trust and you need trust when you're connecting to your audience. Brands and your audience want to connect to real people so always show up as the real you.
Consistency-you need to make sure that you are showing up and are being consistent. Again brands are not going to want to partner with you when you are not showing up and being consistent. Also you cannot grow, build trust, and gain a loyal audience if you are not showing up and being consistent.
Engaging Content-Nobody wants to watch boring content if you get bored when you watch your own content then your audience is going to feel the same way. Having engaging content is important for brands to want to work with you in a partnership plus your audience is going to continue to grow because you make engaging content that your audience wants to watch.
Brands and new people that discover you when they land on your profile that should immediately should know who you are and what you do just from looking and watching your content.

Being A Good Brand Partner.

The next point that was discussed was how to become a good brand partner. What makes you a good brand partner?

Know Your Deadlines-it is so important when working with brands is to know all the deadlines of when you need to have everything filmed, edited, turned in to the brand for content approval, and posted on your social media platforms for your audience to see.
Communicate Proactively-communicating proactively with the brand is very important. Communication is key with any partnership that you're entering.
Submit Collaborations Obligations-if a brand is paying you for this partnership collaboration you need to make sure that your meeting all the obligations stated in the contract and that your submitting said obligations to the brand on time for brand approval.
Post and Share The Content.
Being a good brand partner and taking pride in your work is going to make brands want to work with you again. Sometimes think about throwing in a little extra to your work, and make sure that you are easy to get along with making it an enjoyable working partnership.
