Flat White Chats

In this week’s show, I’m joined by my friend and influencer marketing specialist Nik Speller.   We discuss the influencer space; brand relationships and earnings; as well as 'Insta Fraud' - users paying for followers or using automated systems to like and engage with content.    Nik's statement about recent changes to the system:    "With the recent changes to the Instagram API, it might seem that a conversation about Instagram bots was now redundant. However, despite Instagram’s best efforts, the bots still persist and a discussion about their impact is still as pertinent as ever."     Email me: [email protected]    SHOW LINKS:  Social Blade: https://robin.yt/2s375F3 Nik's YouTube video -  'How To Spot The Instagram Cheats: A Tutorial' - https://robin.yt/2s0trae    Go say “hello” to Nik...     Instagram | Twitter     FOLLOW ME!   Come and follow me on...

In this week’s show, I’m joined by professional dancer, YouTuber, Instagrammer, blogger, influencer and all-round good girl Danielle Peazer.    @DaniellePeazer has a reach of over 5 million online and has built an extremely loyal following. She's worked with some huge brands (including Clinique and Reebok) and is very much on the rise.    But Dannielle isn't just some pretty girl that has a following. After an injury in ballet (she's trained in classical dance), Danielle moved into commercial; dancing for the likes of Kylie Minogue, Katy Perry and Robbie Williams. I just had to ask her about some of these!    She's also created her own workout method and is launching a new website to support this. But although she has loads on the go, Danielle says that she has stopped setting herself goals.    Please show the podcast (and me) some love by giving it a 5 star rating and subscribing/Following!    Email me: [email protected]    SHOW LINKS:    Go say “hello” to Danielle...    YouTube | Blog | Instagram | Twitter     FOLLOW ME!   Come and follow me on...

In this week’s show, I’m joined by my friend, YouTuber, instagramer, blogger, influencer and super-internet success Lydia Elise Millen.    Lydia is the digital It Girl. She is absolutely everywhere. With 700k followers on Instagram and 600k on YouTube, she's worked incredibly hard to build an engaged and fiercely loyal audience.    But as Lydia has found, there's a flip side to her success. Trolling has become a major part of her life, with online forums ripping her apart about every aspect of her life. But, as she explains, she's found ways of dealing with it. Also, with a husband (Ali Gordon) who also works in the same space, finding a work/life balance is easier said than done.    She's recently just got married and moved into a gorgeous new home. So, what's next for Lydia? Babies? Her own products?    Please show the podcast (and me) some love by giving it a 5 star rating and subscribing/Following!    Email me: [email protected]    SHOW LINKS:    Go say “hello” to Lydia...    YouTube | Blog | Instagram | Twitter   Oh... and here's Lydia's husband Ali here!    FOLLOW ME!   Come and follow me on...
