As an Influencer Marketer, Do You Receive Freebies

[Nomad]

Well, I am not an influencer marketer, however, I know a few influencer marketers and they often receive products instead of money. For instance, when they promote clothing brand, they receive free tshirts. They say sometimes it is better to receive freebies as a marketer, rather than cash. Influencer marketing is not just about money, it is also about brand alignment and long-term value.

I am not an influencer but I know that influencers always receive lots of freebies as samples of the products they are selling.

It is true that influencer marketing is not just about paying money. Often, brands prefer to give away products as gifts because it helps to show the alignment of the brand with the influencer's lifestyle. For example, if a clothing brand gives out a t-shirt, the influencer wears it and shares it. The content becomes more authentic than being paid cash alone. Freebies can bring long-term value because they build trust and connection with the audience. It is like a crow screaming at night, it attracts the attention of many people.
