“I started blogging in May of 2019 with just over 926 followers on Instagram. As I write this in November of 2020, I sit here with over 54,000 followers gained in a 5 month time span. In the first month and a half of that journey, I booked over $28k in brand partnerships. Now 5 months in, I have booked $85k in partnerships and I’m negotiating a six figure, long term partnership with a brand as we speak! None of this, and I mean it — none of this — would have happened had I not discovered Mattie James.
When I had a little over 1000 followers, I took Mattie’s course and her Masterclass. I watched her IG Lives. I learned a lot about my value. Because of her guidance and expertise, I was prepared for anyone to lay eyes on my account, and my feed was full of VALUABLE content. I was ready! And when the right people looked at and shared my account, my Instagram blew up.
Now, I have so many opportunities to work with brands that I am having to turn some away. I am so glad I was prepared ahead of time to ask brands to pay what I am worth. If you want to make a living influencing…If you think you have valuable content to share with the world AND you are ready to work hard, do yourself a favor and take Mattie’s courses. Watch her instagram Lives. Snap up all of the content she serves you, free and paid. You won’t regret it!
“Though I have been a full time content creator since 2018, Mattie’s Pitch Please course has changed the way I approach my content creation and my income! Before Mattie’s advice, I was always too timid to ask for the price I wanted.
I thought only people with huge followings got paid well with their brand partnerships. I learned you don’t have to use a rate calculator, ask for what you want! I had no idea about the ins and outs of licensing, or how to properly negotiate.
In 2020 I had a very successful year. It was the first time I made over $100,000 with my influencer business. Since taking Mattie’s Pitch Please course, I am on track to make over $200,000 this year. With the extra income I have acquired, one of my new goals is to pay off $80,000 of student loans in the next year or so. Last week I was able to pay $24,000 off! If you’re willing to put in the work, this course can be life changing. I went into this course for results and I got what I came for!”
