Have you tried Influencer Marketing but with disappointing results? Or maybe you don’t even know where to begin. This episode will help. We have Nish Samantray, co-founder of the 8-Figure Brand, ‘Arrae,’ on the show for our Special Summer Speaker Series. He’s presenting live from Ezra’s Blue Ribbon Ecommerce Mastermind, sharing how Arrae grew exponentially when they developed this Influencer Marketing strategy.
You might say that it was a fluke that Hailey Bieber bought their products (and talked about them on social media), but Nish argues otherwise, and you will hear how they did it so that you can replicate the strategy for your business or brand. Nish also talks about how this links into their Affiliate Program and he shares five key takeaways that will prevent you from wasting time and money, improve your ROI, get you some excellent User Generated Content, and more.
You Will Learn:
- How To Know If Someone Is A Good Influencer For Your Brand
- Where to begin, how to connect and what to send them
- How to measure success (and what you can expect with this strategy)
- Why you want to keep your Affiliate program super Exclusive
And More…

You only scale once you’ve figured it out. And once you do this, it may or may not work. And that’s just part of your testing process. It’s really important. We use about 10% of our budget on the influencer side for testing.” Nish Samantray.
