There are a  million and one platforms and networks for influencers out there offering you the chance to WORK WITH AMAZING BRANDS and GET COMPENSATE FOR YOUR CONTENT, but not many of them ACTUALLY deliver.   Or if they do, their compensation point is so low it is hardly worth filling out the form.

So, when I found a link to TAP INFLUENCE and logged into their site, I felt pretty negative about the whole thing.  Yet ANOTHER password to keep track of, and another chunk of time connecting all my social accounts.

I did it for the hell of it. Part of my eternal optimist who says “maybe this one WILL deliver”.

And it did.  Within a week I had a campaign offer, at my requested rate. Then 2 weeks later, I had another one, and another.

But, aside from the platform actually SENDING me work, what did I like about it?

First of all, connecting my accounts was all done remotely through their platform. I click connect, and boom, connected.  Second, I was able to amend the “suggested” compensation levels to suit my needs.  I am busy right now, so my prices are higher due to demand. I can go in and edit these compensation levels with one step, and then change them again later on.

Third- their campaigns are all actually managed WITHIN the system. You upload your draft post into their platform, and then grab the HTML code after it is approved.  Pop this into your blog, and BOOM, done.  All the tags, all the links, images, everything! Even disclosure.

When you do your required shares you just pop the links into the platform and walk away, ready for your compensation.  Easy!

Lastly, the thing that I have found the MOST beneficial about the Tap Influence platform is that not only are the campaign managers easy to work with, the team at Tap Influence is supportive.  They share content, tips and resources with their platform members that keep you updated and learning about the industry!  And as much as compensation is NICE, improving your industry skills and knowledge is necessary these days!

WHAT TO KNOW WHEN YOU CREATE YOUR ACCOUNT!

Tap Influence only works with influencers who have over 10K in reach.  This means, a combined reach of your social accounts and blog platform.  So, grow your accounts to be approved.

WHY do they do this?     They invest in you, and 10K total reach is a benchmark they put on their influencers.  And while we all know that size doesn’t always matter, there is a general expectation that influencers DO influence, and having some reach (even though 10K is ACTUALLY low) is a start!

Go all the way with your profile! Link as many accounts as you have access to! Not only will this improve your assets on the platform, BUT you won’t actually get campaigns if your main accounts aren’t connected.  Seriously- be SURE your profile is filled out 100%

WHY do they do this?    They won’t half ass their campaigns and they don’t want people to come into their platform uncommitted.  It takes MINUTES to complete your profile, and if you can’t get that far, how are you going to be able to complete a campaign?

Ask Questions!   If you are confused, ask questions.  They are very easy to work with and engage and are committed to making this platform deliver what the influencers and brands need.  There are NO stupid questions, so ask whatever you need.

Why do they do this?  Well, THAT is a stupid question 🙂  See above… they are in this WITH you!

In the end Tap Influence has already provided me with multiple campaigns in 1 month.  It has an active system that brands are using, and is a reliable source of revenue for influencers…

So, if you are in this to grow your business and expand your options, sign into the platform today and grab an account! 

Trust me, you will be glad you did.
