Short description Find, vet, brief and pay creators for your small business, label every post the UK way, and measure what each creator really brings in.
Outcomes
  • Explain what influencer marketing is, when it suits a small business, and how nano, micro and larger accounts differ
  • Set a clear goal with five parts, choose what to measure before anyone posts, and build a budget that includes the costs people forget
  • Find creators close to home, check their audience and comments, spot signs of bought followers and score them on a vetting scorecard
  • Write outreach messages and follow-ups, talk about fees, and choose between gifting, paid posts and affiliate deals
  • Write a one-page creative brief and agree deliverables, dates, payment, usage rights, approval and cancellation in writing
  • Apply UK ad rules for brands: when creator content is an ad, why gifts count, labelling with Ad at the start, and checking posts
  • Keep claims true, avoid fake and cherry-picked reviews, give clear feedback and protect the creator's own voice
  • Reuse customer content with permission, run a free prize draw properly and handle personal data with care
  • Track each creator with their own code and link, work out cost per order and cost per click, and write a one-page review
  • Plan a full creator campaign for a small business, from goal and budget to brief, agreement, disclosure plan and tracking sheet
Requirements
  • No marketing experience is needed; just a small business, or a role helping one, with products or a service to promote
  • A computer, tablet or phone with an internet connection, and a way to open PDF files and a spreadsheet
  • A small budget you could afford to lose, and a few hours a month for a campaign and the short exercises
  • The course is based on UK rules and isn't legal, tax or financial advice
