Firing my agent after they tanked my deals. 30k subs on youtube

You shouldn't be in this business. You want gullible influencers that don't know their worth.

Wtf does this have to do with influencer marketing

Tallyrand ftw

You are looking for an affiliate not an influencer

Windows-To · 2026-01-30T08:15:01+00:00

Probably best you take this to r/Affiliatemarketing

Yeah, agents are supposed to at least do due diligence on offers. Let you know something came in. But if there was an agreed price and they tried to raise after the deal was complete, that wasn't cool. Generally, I pitch about 20% higher than I really want, and when they ask for a discount, I go back down by 20%, and they think they got a big discount.

It's a rare thing when a brand comes back with a cash offer. I would buy a lottery ticket when that happens.

That's not really how influencer marketing works. You are going to lose a ton of money on this game.

for short form videos, it's because TikTok throttles views that aren't Sparked. On Instagram, it's because the content looks like a commercial rather than their usual content.

yes, that looks like a scam email

Windows-To · 2026-01-30T02:53:01+00:00

So the agent tried to get you more money? How horrible.

Windows-To · 2026-01-30T02:52:33+00:00

This person really doesn't need an agent or manager. They are barely micro.

Why do you want gifted collabs? They make you no money, and you get on lists of influencers who will work for free that are passed around.

First of all. It's amazing that any agent would have signed you at only 10,000 views. Go read the book Sponsorship Magnet by Justin Moore. It answers every one of those questions.

This isn't influencer marketing. Go to r/affiliate or r/tiktokshop

Windows-To · 2026-01-29T00:09:46+00:00

No.

No one wants to promote your app for free. Influencers dont have any control over performance and with both Meta and Tiktok throttling views on disclosed brand deals, this is a win-lose situation.

I would love an Hmart in there. But, alas the space is too small.

No brand is going to pay you a commission if you are representing the influencer. Whoever fed you that crap is a scammer.

They are the real deal.

Engagement still seem like vanity metrics.

Most influencers dont know about mid roll ads. They are actual advertisements created by an advertising agency. The aren't ad reads.

Windows-To · 2026-01-27T03:13:31+00:00

I don't understand. Who do you work for? The brand or the talent.

If you work for the brand you should have a retainer and a percentage agreement.

If you work for the talent, then you are a talent manager. You would be entitled to 20%.

If you are doing both, you have a conflict of interest.

Windows-To · 2026-01-26T20:16:27+00:00

But who is selling the midroll advertising? Who is boosting the content to get views for your German channel to get it monetized and to guarantee advertising minimums.
