Creating viral content might have helped you gain a following, but now what? You didn\u2019t do all this hard work for nothing. The real question on every newbie influencer\u2019s mind is, \u201cHow do I monetize myself on social media?\u201d The Influencer Market has grown to become worth over $21.1 Billion. Make sure you get a slice of that money pie! An easy way to break into the brand ambassador scene is to provide shoutouts. Read until the end because, in this quick essential guide, we\u2019ll tell you what a shoutout is, how to do them, how much to charge, and how to get booked over and over again.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What<\/span> Is A Shoutout, And Why Are<\/span> Brands Hungry For Them?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s one thing for a brand to talk about how great their product is, but the real power is getting trusted niche influencers to recommend their product to their highly engaged fan base. This is why brands will pay influencers of various sizes for paid or sponsored content. The most simple paid content opportunity is a basic \u201cshoutout.\u201d A Shoutout is when the influencer posts a photo or video of themselves using the product with a caption that recommends the item and tags the brand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why are brands willing to pay for these shoutouts? A Shopify report showed that <\/span>68% of consumers trust influencers’ recommendations<\/a> and<\/span>\u00a0that they influence their buying decisions. Using influencer marketing also helps brands to increase their reach.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
