Reasons to Hire a YouTube Influencer
Influencers are taking over social media, so you may wonder how these people can help your brand grow.
Here are some reasons you may want to hire a YouTube influencer…
Increase Your Reach
While ensuring your website is SEO-optimized is a great first start, this organic route will take a few years before you notice any true growth in your audience.
You’ll want to start advertising if you want more people to hear about your brand quickly. Investing in influencer marketing is a great start, with so many people following influencers on YouTube. Many influencers have thousands, even millions, of followers, so demonstrating and shouting out your product will attract more attention quickly!
Trustworthy Reference
When an influencer builds up a large following, many of their followers have a certain level of trust and loyalty to the influencer.
Their audience sees them as a trustworthy source for information and recommendations. So, if the influencer recommends your product, their audience will assume it is a good investment.
Also, many viewers that follow an influencer want to be just like the influencer. So, if they’re saying a certain moisturizer, clothing brand, or hair product is one they use, followers will invest in the product in hopes of looking like the influencer.

How to Begin YouTube Influencer Marketing
If you’re ready to invest in the top YouTube influencers, contact them through an agency.
If you’re new to paying for marketing from YouTube influencers, you may think it’s okay to reach out to them on social media such as Twitter and Instagram. Since an influencer’s reputation is at stake, they’ll likely ignore pitches not given to their agency to review first.
If you’re willing to work with influencers with a smaller following, they probably won’t have an agency for you to go through. So you can contact them less formally.
This is an excellent option for smaller brands with a smaller budget!
