If you’re a creativepreneur working furiously to grow your brand, you’ve probably thought about how to connect with well known influencers to help grow your brand. The reality is that this is a very normal part of doing any type of business. If you’re running a pizzeria, clothing store, a Multi-Level Marketing company, or an online brand-you need people. You’re also an influencer too and may find other people reaching out to you for the same thing. It’s often said that it’s not what you know, but who you know.
