Il faut se spécialiser. L'importance n'est pas de tout faire mais d'avoir son créneau et de le faire bien : cela va montrer aux clients qu'on est un spécialiste et un expert dans ce domaine. C'est une valeur ajoutée indispensable pour augmenter son nombre de prestations et d'être le meilleur de son créneau

2 Build strong relationships

Another essential skill for influencer marketing is building strong and lasting relationships with your clients and influencers. You need to be trustworthy, responsive, respectful, and supportive. You need to understand their goals, their pain points, their expectations, and their feedback. You need to deliver on your promises, exceed their standards, and surprise them with your creativity. By building strong relationships, you can earn their loyalty, their referrals, and their testimonials, and grow your reputation and network.

Relationships and networking are the key to everything! People might not remember the exact brand or campaign they were working on, but they will remember a bad experience... and an amazing one. Be the amazing one!

Établir des relations est essentielle : avec les clients, ce sont eux qui vous payent, il faut être juste et leur montrer que vous allez exploser leurs ventes, la confiance est un aspect indispensable à la campagne. De plus, la création de relations avec les influenceurs va vous permettre d'avoir des facilités de contact lors de prochaines collaborations.

The best comparison in this instance is to think about client relationships in other industries. When a hairstylist leaves and goes to another salon, their clients will often follow them. When you have strong relationship with influencers, they'll want to continue working with *you*, even if you end up moving companies.

Become known as a person that gets things done. This is the best trait you can have for succeeding in any job. In influencer marketing, developing good relationships with creators and agencies is crucial, but being able to be given a task, and find a way to get it done, will push you further in your career than any specific "influencer" relationship.

En marketing d'influence, l'adaptabilité et la force de proposition sont les piliers de la réussite. La volatilité des plateformes et l'évolution constante des tendances exigent une flexibilité stratégique. Être un professionnel adaptable signifie anticiper et intégrer ces changements avec agilité. La force de proposition, elle, permet de se démarquer en présentant des idées novatrices, créatives et alignées avec l'identité des marques. Cultiver ces compétences est la clé pour exceller et devenir un leader d'opinion incontournable dans le monde exigeant du marketing d'influence.

You need to set clear and realistic goals, track and analyze relevant metrics, and report and showcase your outcomes. You also need to use data and feedback to identify what works and what doesn't, and optimize your strategies and tactics accordingly. By measuring and optimizing, you can demonstrate your effectiveness, your accountability, and your improvement, and justify your worth and growth.

La collaboration est très importante dans tous les domaines, encore plus dans le marketing d'influence étant donné qu'il s'agit d'un domaine très fermé. Il faut être visible et montrer ses capacités afin de renforcer sa crédibilité et pour au final, avoir des clients.
