Do You Need an Influencer Manager or a Mentor?


Ever Wondered If You Need an Influencer Manager or if what you're missing is a Mentor in your corner?


In the wild world of influencing, whether you’re a nano-influencer or a seasoned pro, figuring out whether you need an influencer manager or a mentor can feel like deciding between tacos or burritos (spoiler alert: both are great). So, let’s dive into it!


Do You Need an Influencer Manager?
If your DMs are bursting with brand offers and you’re making a cool $25K+ a year from influencer marketing, it might be time to consider getting an influencer manager. Here’s how to know:

Drowning in Opportunities: Your inbox is popping, but you’re too swamped to respond to all those juicy offers. An influencer manager can catch those big fish while you focus on your creative genius.

Negotiation Blues: If haggling isn’t your thing, or you just don’t have the time, an influencer manager can step in to make sure you’re getting every dollar you deserve.

Ready to Level Up: You’ve got a killer brand and a loyal audience. Now it’s time to scale, but you need help to do it right.

Support Squad: You’ve got a VA, maybe an editor or two, but you need someone to take charge of the business side.


So, if you’re juggling too many brand deals and dropping balls left and right, an influencer manager is your new best friend.


Do You Need a Mentor?

Now, if you’re just starting out or you’re somewhere in the middle and need a little push, a mentor and a community might be your jam. Here’s when to go for mentoring:

At the Starting Line: Just dipping your toes into the influencer pool? A mentor can help you dive in.

Hungry to Learn: Want to master branding, negotiation, and the business side of influencing? Mentorship is the key.

Seeking Community: Connect with fellow creators, share tips, and grow together.

Building Your Base: Need help refining your pitch, securing initial deals, and developing a strategic growth plan? A mentor’s got your back.

If you’re feeling a bit lost and need structured guidance, influencer education through mentorship and community support is golden.


What an Influencer Manager Actually Does

The Business Brain Behind Your Creative Spark

An influencer manager is the business insider, negotiator, and the brand’s biggest advocate. Here’s the scoop:

Connection Keeper: Maintaining vital brand relationships.

Deal Closer: Ensuring the best terms, every time.

Your Shield: Asking the tough questions and protecting you from the nitty-gritty.

Project Manager Extraordinaire: Keeping everything on track from deadlines to deliverables.

Your Hypewoman: Offering support and motivation.


Having an influencer manager means shining brighter while the backstage chaos is managed efficiently.
