We kick off in mid-February.  The course is pre-recorded and you’ll be able to follow along at your own pace and come back to it any time you need.  You’ll have access 2 weeks after you purchase the course.  

The coaching element runs for six whole months meaning you’ll have unrivalled 1:1 and group coaching support during this period, to really help you get to precisely where you want to be this year.

I recommend the VIP coaching option for anyone with more than 5,000 followers on Instagram, who is really committed to making 2023 the year they monetise their social media presence with brand collaborations.  If you have fewer followers, you are very welcome to join, but you may find it takes longer to get to the point of monetising.  We will set realistic goals for you to work toward during the coaching period.  It is important to keep in mind that everyone is at a different stage in their journey: be careful not to compare your day 1 to someone else’s day 300!

Coaching is best if you’d like help with pitching and negotiating collaborations as I will be on hand to guide you through the process and help you with emails!

Whether you have 1,000 followers or 100,000 followers, coaching – especially in a group environment – helps you learn quicker, bounce ideas around your peers, improve your mindset and confidence and ultimately reach your goals sooner.  

The course-only option may be preferred by beginners.  If you are just setting out on your journey and want to understand how to grow an engaged audience and start monetising social media presence, this could be for you.  If you don’t quite feel ready for coaching, then the course is a good introduction to my teaching methods and you could always join me for coaching later on!  This option is suitable for you no matter how many followers you may have and will help you set up a winning strategy, grow an engaged audience and set about earning an income from social media.

Brand collaborations are when you – the influencer – post about a certain brand, usually demonstrating or using their products, in return for payment.  

The is called influencer marketing.  Influencers have grown – usually over a number of years – an audience of ideal followers.  People who are closely aligned to the influencers values.  This is very valuable for brands because the trust and relationship the influencer has developed with they audience means they are often likely to act on the influencer’s recommendation.

The course is pre-recorded and available for both options.  You can follow this at your own pace.

The coaching is a mix of 1:1 sessions, held by Zoom call – you have one per month for the 6 months – and group coaching.  The group coaching includes a monthly Zoom call where we all get together to work through any niggles or questions you have.  We also have a WhatsApp group for day-to-day support and chat.  I will help you with pitching, setting rates and negotiating your contracts during this six month period.

You have 14 days from purchase to cancel if you change your mind.  However, if you have simply decided mid-way through that you no longer wish to continue, and you are on the instalment option, please be aware that you will have to pay all remaining instalments in full.  This is not a membership.  The instalment options exist to help you spread the cost, but you must pay the full fee you committed to upon purchase if you decide to cancel after 14 days.

Yes!  You’ll have lifetime access to my private Facebook Group ‘The Accidental Influencers Academy’ where we have monthly Q&A brainstorming sessions and occasional guest training.  

There will also be all sorts of complementary resources for the course such as pitching templates, rates calculator and Reels prompts.

Whilst some of the creators at 86 Talent (which is a separate business and talent agency I own, founded in October 2022) worked with me on a 1:1 or coaching basis, or through purchasing courses, prior to joining the agency, many have never worked with me before.  These are separate businesses and it is important to understand that by joining one of my programmes, you are no more or less likely to be signed by 86 Talent.  Creators at 86 Talent are not required to have bought any course from me and in fact have free access to Influence & Earn if they successfully complete their trial period with the agency.  Creators are signed to 86 Talent based entirely on their merit as a creator, including, crucially their history of paid collaborations and most of them have not worked with me previously.  

It is!  Taking a chance on yourself and investing in yourself is a big deal and often not something we are used to doing.

However, as you can see from the testimonials on this page, many past attendees have gone on to make their inital investment back times over.  There is no reason why that can’t be you.

The best resources aren’t free and just as I teach influencers to believe they can charge their worth, I also believe investing in yourself is crucial to overcoming the mindset blocks that hold us back from achieving our goals.

Many of my past attendees have been working full time with young families whilst going through coaching.  Often the reason for joining something like this is to learn what you need to know to move into your own business, which is flexible and actually brings you more time.  You will certainly need to invest some time, but the coaching is enjoyable and friendly and you’ll come away from sessions feeling energised.

You have lifetime access to the course element of Influence & Earn so you don’t need to worry about falling behind.  This is a self-paced course.
