Influencers already have what most businesses are chasing...trust. That loyal audience, the solid ground of followers, is the ultimate unfair advantage. In this episode, we’re breaking down how influencers can use paid ads to pour gasoline on an already burning fire — turning organic reach into scalable, consistent growth.

Ashley dives into the long-term effects of owning your audience instead of relying solely on social media platforms. From where to strategically place your ads, to how Amazon attribution links can track real results, and how influencers can leverage their following for more than just one-time conversions.

Most influencers only get paid on the cart value — but the real money is in everything that comes after: bonuses, repeat purchases, and brand relationships built on data and trust.

If you already have followers, this episode will show you how to turn that influence into a sustainable business model that keeps paying off long after the first click.
