In this episode, we discuss the pros and cons of working with celebrities and influencers. We go through some of the events we did for influencers and share the valuable lessons we learned from those experiences. We also talk about the value of doing giveaways and competitions and how to leverage your local community to get more bookings. 

What You'll Learn:

- Our first experiences working with influencers - was it worth the effort?

- Paid or unpaid events bring the same amount of pressure over our shoulders

- The benefits of strategically picking a celebrity, influencer, or micro-influencer to work with 

- The value of word of mouth, and why we should never overlook it

- The benefits of doing competitions and giveaways

- Why connections are so important to leverage your local community

Before working with a celebrity or an influencer, there are a couple of things you must have in place. Always remember your work's value, and evaluate the benefits you'll get from working with a local or international influencer. Be specific and intentional, and ask yourself what you want to achieve with that collab: followers, bookings, growing your name in the local community?
