KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Understanding the brand and influencers’ goals are key to making the partnership work. Being intentional with what the goal is of the campaign and making sure they are both aligned. 
• Every regular person can work hard and put the effort in and become an influencer. Focus on one platform you are comfortable with and most excited about and grow your presence there, don’t try to do every platform at once. 
• Being an influencer can be a mixture of a product trade, affiliate marketing, or the traditional paid amount per post. There is no set formula.

BIO:

As a board-certified nutritionist, wellness coach, and former corporate gal, I’ve worked with hundreds of women just like you: who are ambitious, but overwhelmed and unable to live a fulfilled life.

After struggling to overcome my own feelings of guilt and all-or-nothing thinking, I put in thousands of hours of research and tens of thousands of dollars into my education and I’ve finally found a system that works!

Through my system, I’ve helped myself and others:

• Define & create our version of a balanced lifestyle
• Indulge without guilt
• Enjoy the present moment
• Discover true happiness
