Trouble Getting Approved?
Do you feel like you are doing something wrong? Does this sound familiar?
“I used to review regularly, but I’ve seen a decrease in my campaign approvals.” Or,
“I’m new to Tomoson and I just can’t get approved for my first campaign.”
Don’t worry. You just need to do these five things...
1. Upload a Quality Profile Photo
Your profile photo is the first thing brands see. As they scroll through hundreds of influencers, you want to make sure your photo grabs their attention.
Here are some examples of profile photo DOs and DON"Ts.
DOS
Photo 1 - Quality photo with a relevant t-shirt speaking to the gadgets and electronics niche.
Photo 2 - Creative yoga pose that will stand out in a sea of influencer faces.
Photo 3 - Personable photo with a shirt that let's fashion brands know she's relevant.
DONT'S
Photo 4 - Grainy photos and cartoons don't work. It should be crisp with a human element.
Photo 5 - Dark, unrecognizable profile photos tell brands you'll do poor quality work.
Photo 6 - Logos aren't recommended. Brands want real people who "relate" to their audience.
NEXT, UPDATE YOUR ENTIRE PROFLE
After you get a quality profile photo uploaded, make sure your update your entire profile to match your niche.
Brands see a snapshot of your social posts on your Tomoson profile, so make sure the images match your point of view. Edit your portfolio to automatically pull in social posts or pick specific ones by listing #hashtags. For example, let's say you always add #Tomoson or #ad to your posts on social media. Put those hashtags in your portfolio and we'll display those posts on your profile.
It doesn't matter if you're a huge influencer or a first-time micro-influencer. Brands are looking for someone with a point of view and an audience that fits their product. This means being consistent with your message, pictures, what products you talk about, and how you post socially across your networks. The most successful influencers and micro-influencers focus their social message on specific topics: women only, men only, certain age demographic, industries (fashion, electronics, etc..), political agendas, life hacks, and many others. Pick what you're passionate about and focus your media on that.
2. Improve Your Average Engagement

5. Follow-Through (% Completed On Time)
There is nothing brands find more frustrating than people who don’t follow-through on their promise. If you get approved for a campaign, make sure to follow-through and complete it 100%. And get it done on time.
When brands are looking for quality influencers and micro-influencers, they are going to filter out people who don’t complete things.
Where do influencers see their "% completed on time"?
