In this episode of Unfiltered Influence, we’re cutting through the noise around influencer pricing strategies. Forget follower count - this is about knowing your real value. We’re talking engagement, creativity, brand alignment, and all the factors that matter when pricing your brand collaborations.

Whether you’re new to the game or levelling up your strategy, you’ll get real talk, actionable advice, and personal stories to help you price your collaborations with confidence.

We cover everything from understanding brand goals, asking the right questions about budgets, to calculating the value of your content and knowing exactly when to push for higher fees.
