COLLABORATING WITH FAMOUS BRANDS

When it comes to earning money with Social Networks, the mind of many immediately goes to the so-called influencers, or very followed users who collaborate with famous brands to advertise various products or services for a fee. To use this form of monetization of your Social accounts, which in recent years has taken hold especially on Instagram, you need to have a very popular account:companies, in fact, want to reach a very large audience and, for this reason, they are willing to collaborate only with users who are actually very popular.
