How to become an Instagram Ambassador
We all have instagram (and if not why) and we all see the countless amounts of instagram influences who post about certain brands and wonder how they get those products for free and of course WHY!
I'm going to share with you guys how to become an instagram ambassador for brands, stores and companies online.
If this is interests you and is something you would like to do, read on.. !
If not maybe stop here, this blog isn't for you.
With that being said
lets get into it! xx
Being an ambassador for a brand or company on instagram in my opinion starts with five key things..
1. Followers and Engagement
2. what you post & how regularly
3. Is your account appealing at first look
4. Do you run a blog or youtube channel
5. Get your name out there
These five steps usually help with what companies look for when choosing ambassadors for their company.. They're trying to get their name out there so they need to find people, and this is where you come in!
Lets break it down for you
Followers & Engagement
Okay so followers and engagement are probably the number one thing companies will look at when viewing your page!
But don't stress, some companies go for influencers with a follow count as little at 3,000 It all just depends on the company and who their looking for, and if you make the cut! you make the cut!
Remember to engage with your followers over snapchat, instagram stories, polls etc..
Brands need influencers to have a high follow count and engagement so their brand is getting shared and known around the world. If you only have say 200 followers on instagram you don't really have the span to be able to fulfill the companies needs, therefore follow these tips and you are sure to succeed!
If your now thinking OH CRAP I only have like 1,000 followers on instagram ... read on girlfriend!
What you post & how regularly
This is another huge thing which you need to do, and if you already doing it, keep it going!
You should be posting at least 2 times to 3 times a week with quality posts.. if your now thinking i have nothing to post.. scroll back through your photos find an amazing pic and re upload etc.
Ofcourse when I say you need to post regularly i'm not saying one post a day, were not trying to be annoying or loose followers here..
Is your account appealing at first look?
LAYOUT
By this question I mean do you have a colour theme, is your BIO updated and is your username easy to remember.
If you take a look at these four instagram influencers accounts they have reoccurring colours and themes .. appealing am i right!?
Do you see what i mean? All of their accounts look appealing and draw you in, which then makes you want follow them...
Now that instagram has the new "ARCHIVE" feature its easier than ever to make your instagram layout the best it can be. The archive button allows you to temporarily delete the photo from your page until you want to bring it back... (where has this been all my life.)
BIO
When thinking about your biography on instagram, we don't want a life story we want a short and simple explanation, as minimal as possible!
something like name, age and EMAIL!
Companies will reach out to you over email asking if you want to collaborate so be sure to include your email to be contacted.
And if you don't want to give out your personal email make another one.
Make sure your bio is up to date and change it around every once and a while.
Relax with the emojis and only use like 1 or 2 max so it makes a statement and maybe pick one which relates to your instagram layout.
Do you run a blog or a youtube channel
Running a blog or youtube channel really helps to get you noticed and engage followers.
But don't do this just for the sake of it, you need to be interested in something.
For example:
I run this fashion blog out of my own interest and time.
I wouldn't go starting one if you have nothing to talk about or nothing that interests your followers.
Youtube is another key element that instagram influencers use and is quite successful.. once you've started your youtube channel and gained a big following you'll get more views, subscribers and eventually youtube will pay you..WOOO.
Youtube is also a great way to review the companies in which your an ambassador for so keep this in mind.
Last but not least!
Get your name out there
Most people think that the companies come to you.. but not necessarily.
Most brands on instagram are HUGE and don't have the time to find people!
So by you DM'ing them your saving them the time and showing your interest for the company!
Another way is to comment on other influencers posts and engage with them.. (this works.)
Overall just be yourself and show people who you are because no one can be you!
I hope this blog has given you an insight into how to be an ambassador on instagram and i hope all of you see those companies rolling into your DM's in no time!
