💰 How do you make money as an influencer? The first question I'll ask you is do you have an audience? If yes, what kind of volk do you have? There are a few ways to make money, but here are two main considerations: 1️⃣ You make money from your audience You sell directly to your volk, such as: - digital courses - coaching - digital products - merch Common tools used: Gumroad, Kajabi, Patreon Volk = String's way to describe our folks. It's also a German word for "people" 2️⃣ You sell your audience to brands Commonly, you promote the brand to your volk, they are: - sponsorships - brand ambassador - they also buy content from you The key thing is your audience. Do you know their job titles, their interest/pain points, gender, location? Influencers tend to be marketers or great content creators. You don't need 1 million followers, but a strong channel helps keep an audience engaged. Follow String Nguyen for #marketing #influencemarketing #personalbranding …see more

In the workplace, effectively communicating authentic appreciation and encouragement isn’t one-size-fits-all, nor is it restricted to a single language of appreciation. The best way to express your gratitude in the workplace starts with asking others their preferences so you can better relate to one another and deepen your relationships. There are five languages of workplace #appreciation : Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Acts of Service, Tangible Gifts, and Appropriate Physical Touch. This week, we’ve broken down how to effectively communicate using them, actions you can take to support each style, and things to avoid. #5: APPROPRIATE PHYSICAL TOUCH🖐 How To Communicate This language uses appropriate physical touch to demonstrate appreciation. Actions To Take Offer a high five, handshake, fist bump, or a pat on the back when acknowledging someone for a great job. These spontaneous displays of celebration help build positive work-based relationships. Things To Avoid Personal boundaries are important to keep in mind with this language of appreciation, so avoid unwanted touch. #leadership #communication …see more
