If she’s getting so many emails every day then where are the results of them?
I have worked with people like her before who love to make out they are absolutely rushed off their feet and have been non stop all day etc.It was pointed out to me one day that it was a demonstration of insecurity - makes sense.
I feel like if she had a genuine friend right now they ought to tell her that she needs to go back to work. It’s not healthy for someone of her age to live the life she does, so solitary and lonely.
I think its clear youtube will never been anything more than just a side project for her, as much as she wont admit it.
Her growth has been slow and that’s fine but she’s pinned her hopes on something thats not happening and rather than admit it she’s clinging on.
Brogan if you read here your vlogs are what made you popular but back when you had content as you were out there living your life.
Its the same old boring repeat week in week out now.
She probably gets 3-4 gifted parcels a week and that’s a good week. Most of those brands have worked with her before so already have her address, so therefore wouldn’t need to contact her. Our firm send out surprise packages to bloggers often! So let’s say she gets 2-3 emails a week from a brand offering her things as I can’t believe she turns anything down.
Then she does probably 1-2 sponsorships a month. I’ll give it to her, when there’s money involved there is a bit more back and forth with a brand. They’ll send a brief, she’ll decide if she fancies it, they’ll offer her a price, she might push back and want more until they decide on a price. Then she’d have to create the content, email it to them for approval. They’d approve it (or ask for changes) and it would be uploaded. Then she’ll invoice them and it’s done! So I’d estimate that would be, guessing that she did 2 brand deals a month, 20-30 emails a month which would be less than 1 a day. I can’t imagine her inbox is teeming. She’d be able to do her emails in 10-15 minutes a day.
Then she will get emails inviting her to events. These are usually 1 email initially inciting and then, if she accepts, a follow up nearer the time to remind her about it. She goes to probably 3 events a month, so that’s 6 emails a month. I’m sure she gets invited to a few she can’t go to, but a simple rejection is all that’s needed there. Would take 2 mins to compose.
Influencers I’ve spoken to have told me they get a lot of spammy offers from foreign sites but they just delete these and move on. Surely that wouldn’t take too much time.
That’s an average of
45 emails a month, which works out to be over
2.25 emails a day (assuming she works a 5 day week).
That’s coming from someone who’s job it is to be the other end of influencer brand deal negotiations. I’m no expert, but I have a fairly good ideas.
Now it roughly takes me, on a bad day, 15 minutes to respond to a lengthy email and less than 5 if it’s a short, easy one. So let’s say it takes Brogan 15 mins to respond to each email. That’s
30 minutes a day. Oh but it’s suuuuch hard work guys! We just wouldn’t understand how many emails she has!
