Influencer Marketing's Authentic Approach is Genuinely Profitable


Marketing demographics can be likened to waves on the sea, making it difficult to gauge the effectiveness of a marketing campaign. Although there are many different approaches and strategies to employ within advertising, influencer marketing is effective because it targets the audience that makes the difference. To expound further, let's discuss why influencer marketing's authentic approach is genuinely profitable.

Getting Real with Marketing

The demographics are difficult to pinpoint, because of the ever-changing people they represent. Historically the younger generations are always seemingly radical compared to their parents' generation, but in today's technologically advanced and rapidly changing cultural landscape this has never been more true.

Getting real is simplifying the process of marketing, although this doesn't mean boring and bland. Rather, this means reaching the targeted audience at their level, which could very well be unreal. In other words, using influencer marketing allows the leaders of a generation to formulate the marketing approach at their "real" level.

Targeting the Leaders of the Cultural Mores

Is there a more influential platform online than YouTube? Videos are the media means in which people (young and old) are finding news, entertainment, how-to, and tutorial videos every day. The scope of YouTube's influencing power is dynamic and massive, to say the least. And by targeting the leaders of the cultural mores on YouTube, a company can achieve a viable means of reaching their audience demographic. Additionally, this is only one of many social media platforms to choose from.

Anyone who is familiar with behavioral sociology knows most people simply follow the leaders. Although many followers may consider themselves leaders, this doesn't change this simple fact of human behavior (showing that most people aren't leaders). The entire point of influencer marketing is to market products by and for these leaders (influencers), which are popular to the masses who follow them.

Because of the popularity of the influencers on YouTube, the subscribers and viewers are open to listening and acting on the suggestions of their videos. The results of successfully gaining an advocate from one of these YouTube influencers can very well propel a product into trendy and viral outer-space.

Authenticity Gained from Earned Media

The savvy audiences of today's populace can discern a paid ad from a non-paid ad. Therefore, the earned media model is effective because it's non-paid advertising. The YouTube influencer is simply referring the product for free samples, thus are doing this because they genuinely like the product. This garners authenticity, which can't be fabricated even in a lush advertising studio full of test-studied actors.

So, not only is this form of advertising affordable, but it promotes a genuine buzz around a product. An independent film festival type of non-conformity buzz, which a corporate big media-saturated populace will appreciate. Yet, this form of advertising does ask companies to hand over their product to influencers with free creative reign for an earned media campaign; essentially, less control, more authenticity.

Allowing the influencer to market a product how they wish is the beauty of earned media in the first place. Embracing this free-flowing authentic approach nets generous social proof, which in turn creates the buzz to propel a product successfully.

Is Influencer Marketing For Your Brand? 

There are quality services uniquely suited for companies who wish to use YouTube and/ or other social media outlets for their earned media campaigns. By using a quality service, companies can have control over who they want to work with and can keep tabs on all the important stats and information concerning influencer campaigns.

Truly, influencer marketing is a unique opportunity for companies to market their products and also for YouTube and social media creators to find companies to work with.

Earned media advertising through influencer marketing is an effective way to reach a large audience because there are more followers than leaders and authenticity will resonate more with the demographics of a populace over-saturated with commercials. This is why influencer marketing is genuinely profitable and should be considered by certain brands.

The Most Discriminated People Are Not Who You Think

The physically unattractive, socially awkward, and poor are the most discriminated people. In America, social engineers have brainwashed us to believe minorities and women are the most discriminated people in our country and the world, yet is this really true? Using common sense, we can see this isn’t true in modern America, and even in the past. We can see clearly the most discriminated people in our country and the world are those who are physically unattractive, socially awkward, and poor. Physical Unattractiveness Physical unattractiveness is probably the top discrimination factor in the world. A person born like this will find they are not chosen for many things because of this unfortunate factor. They might be outgoing and friendly, which will help mitigate this problem, but they will invariably experience a completely different reality than a physically attractive person. We’re talking about not being chosen for jobs and friendships, and how they are treated in daily life by peo...

Between a Rock and a Hard Place in America

The inevitable cycle of conspiracy and deceit until sin and death are destroyed forever by Jesus Christ. The world is in between a rock and a hard place when it comes to politics and current affairs. There is no way out of the problems we’ve created without the majority of people walking in the Holy Spirit. As it is, the vast majority of people are walking in the flesh, including me too much of the time. The modern world has been created to take us away from the spiritual, from faith in the Holy Bible. Technology in the form of television, the internet, and smartphones are the final tools needed to thwart our faith and set us up for deception. The old-time Christian revivals, even just over a hundred years ago before television are essentially not possible anymore with smartphones around. Smartphones and technology are too stimulating and distracting for people to commune with God like we used to. In my opinion, real Christian revival isn’t possible anymore with this technology. The Ho...

The Final Deception is Conservative and Religious

Politics are going according to the NWO's deceptive plan. Politics, History, and the NWO I’ve been taking a break from talking about politics lately, yet that doesn’t mean I feel any different about it. Being someone who doesn’t support Trump or the Dems makes it hard to get any traction with an audience. The truth is more nuanced than most people can handle. It is easier to simply pick a side and believe it without much critical thinking. Trump is speaking the common sense views of the majority of Americans who still have half a brain left after the many decades of brainwashing we’ve been subjected to. The big data algorithms have been gathering the views of every American, compiling them into meticulously organized data reports, so they know exactly what most people want to hear. The left are those who have accepted the brainwashed agenda without any critical thinking. They are the useful idiots the NWO has used brilliantly to create  most  of the problems that t...
