The benefits of becoming an Influencer Marketer

If you are an influencer with at least 3 thousand followers you are WANTED!! And you should become a Salla Influencer. Not just to make high revenue, but there are other reasons such as Collaboration with Big Brands and Free Gifts and Promotional Events:

• Collaboration with Big Brands

Salla is collaborating with more than 400 brands locally and internationally. You have a high chance of collaborating with them after establishing a good marketing performance.

• Free Gifts and Promotional Events

You will also receive invitations to other promotional events as an influencer marketer. But rather than the freebies, it is more about the business relationships and potential joint ventures, as well as the impact you can make on both the brand itself and your audience.

Here, you will select as many categories that fall under your services as available which will give the Merchant a better look into your services.

Each platform has its own features. For example, on Facebook, you can choose a Post and / or a Story. On Instagram, however, you can choose Post, Story, Reel, and / or Live. The following table shows the social media platforms alongside its supported feature on Salla Partners Portal:
