Are IG “influencers” worth it? How to deny the ask?

@sonialynne3 Have you run any successful campaigns with only a few thousand followers? It seems incredibly hard to manage.

@theredraven Tell them they have to buy it, but give them a code to give out to their followers. If they can sell 10 give them their money back. Make them work for it.

@sk8brdmom This is my favorite solution to this problem because its a fast way to separate the beggars from everyone else.

@theredraven Ask to see concrete evidence of how they have increased sales for other businesses they have used their 'influencer power' on before sending them any products

@theredraven There's another sub on here (choosybeggars) that has a template or suggestion of them paying for the item but giving them a like code to use for their customers.

@theredraven Give them a coupon code and when they get x sales, give them y dollars or z product.

Influencers are sales people and if they are successful selling your stuff you should pay them, but only for actual sales, not imaginary internet points.
