Your instagram is growing, you have lots of followers but you don’t know how to get collaborations and get paid on Instagram?
Here are my top tips&tricks on how to build your social media kit, which is so important for your Instagram business.
What is an Influencer Media Kit?
A media kit (or press kit) is a promotional document that includes information about a brand, company or even a person which is passed around for press (or promotional) purposes.
It is used primarily to make money or monetize your social media pages. Today, you can see a quite number of bloggers and influencers that are using a promotional social media kit to showcase their followers, reach, fans and other relevant stats on their websites.
1. Use a good design
Focus on design because is a relevant reflection of your brand. I recommend you to use CANVAbecause it has great design elements, that it will be useful to create your own professional media kit.
Try also to keep it simple, because clients are very busy and don’t have a lot of time to spend on your media kit. Remember that is similar to a cv, so try to keep it no more than 3 pages. Keep also a page for a nice cover.

2. Talk about your Audience
Your audience is so important for your clients. They have to know what are the countries where your followers come from, for example “80% from US or France” could be very relevant for you to get collaborations with brands that are interested in influencers that have large audiences in certain states. Age and engagement rate are also two factors that many clients can evaluate before choosing to invest in an influencer. So make sure to let them know before they will ask for it 😀.

3. Have a focus on your Analytics
If you have a blog or an Instagram/TikTok account, you should insert in your media kit your reach stats. For example “number of monthly views” or “Profile visits”(in case of Instagram analytics).
4. Past collaborations
It’s very important also to talk about your past collaborations and to mention your services. Least, you should include also a list of rates but try to not focus on it. It should be the last thing to talk about it with your client. It’s important to be detailed in telling brands exactly what you can do for them to show that you understand what they need.
I want to connect with my audience through posts by simply being there for them.
3. NOT YOUR NICHE
If you have the willpower to stick to one single niche, stick to it without excuses and to be honest, you will probably find it easier to grow as well as create viral content. Just make sure you stick with it.
Make sure you’re not constantly changing you niche because this may confuse your audience.
Let’s say you published cooking recipes and the suddenly you post about beauty, this can be one reason why are you losing followers. Because people don’t understand what your account is about: beauty or recipes?
I know, I get it that you’re a human being with a lot of interests, but try to stick to one niche that really interests you, so you can attract followers from that niche.

4. A CONFUSING BIO
This could be one of the reasons you are losing followers. It’s about telling people what your brand is about and what kind of contents you are posting on your feed.
Show them that you’re a blogger/actor/model/recipe creator/beauty blogger. Make sure you’re leaving your website/blog so they can know you better or they can understand what’s your business about.
Remember your Instagram Bio is your first impression and you want to convince your visitor to take some kind of actions either subscribe, like, visit your site or buy your product. Are you doing this?
5. GOING MIA
Have you gone MIA on your audience?
Try to be more consistent with posting because people who follows you wants to know more about you, about your life or your business.
And the only way to obtain this is by constantly showing your audience your products/photos.

Growing your Instagram account is not all about hashtags&posting consistently. I am about to tell you some AMAZING tips on how to attract new followers.
One of which includes sprucing up your feed with a stylish, professional theme.
So how can you create a stylish, professional theme for your Instagram?
Well, there are many different ways you can go about it actually. Let’s take a look at a few of the most popular ways to add a cohesive theme to attract new followers & build your personal brand.
1. Create a Grid or a Pattern
Post your photos in a pattern. Use graphics or quotes to break it up. Post selfies in a pattern. Create all different types of grids.
Whether you edit your photos on your phone or have professional equipment & use Photoshop, you can create a cohesive editing style in just a few steps.
If you use your smartphone, you could use VSCO, which is one of the best and simple editing apps.
Once you find your editing app, take note about which filter did you use and/or all the settings (ex. contrast, exposure).
This is very important if you want to have a consistent theme on your Instagram feed.
I have made for you a PINTEREST BOARD on VSCO or PicsArt apps that you can use to inspire yourself.
