Side Note❗❗❗ If you see companies or other brands using your likeness for royalty gains without your consent or permission. You may have rights to sue them for profits made without your approval.
13: Product Reviews or Sponsored Videos: Influencers can create sponsored videos or product reviews on platforms like YouTube, where they showcase and review products or services in exchange for a fee or commission.
14: Donations or Tips: Influencers can set up a donation or tip jar on their social media profiles or websites, where their supporters can voluntarily contribute money to support their content creation efforts. A few examples are sites like Ko-fi, Fanhouse, Patreon, PayPal, and etc.
15: Licensing or Endorsements: Influencers can license their name, image, or brand to companies for endorsements, promotions, or collaborations, and earn money as a result.
16: Full-Time/Part-Time Job: This one is self-explanatory but also placed last because it's not the first thing any full-time content creator would have on their mind to do unless the job is rewarding and fun. However, I am also a realist. Having a career position not only increases your equity but also secures you financially when things on the creator's end lose momentum.
Remember, it's important for influencers to comply with applicable laws and regulations, and disclose any sponsored content or affiliate links to their audience to maintain transparency and trust. Influencers should also carefully choose income streams that align with their personal brand and values, and focus on providing value to their audience to ensure long-term success. You can't work with everybody and that's just the honest truth.
