Real Makes
Hey, it's Meredith, and I help Influencers and Creators get paid for their posts. I am a 3x business founder and launched my first company in 2001 to service the A-list celebrities and stars in Hollywood, CA. In the last decade, I have worked with social media platforms such as META and Snap to help thousands of advertisers launch their brand campaigns. In the last few years, I have shifted my focus to helping anyone with social media presence build a follower base and create income with brand deals.
The common misunderstanding is that you need more followers before you get the brand deals... but that's just not true.
The key question isn't, "How can I gain more followers?" Instead, it's about seizing opportunities to initiate brand deals with your existing followers today. I founded Real Makes to empower more Influencers and Creators, recognizing that many are unaware of their value and struggle with pricing in the market.
Every week, my newsletter delivers actionable insights to guide you in taking concrete steps toward attracting more brands and deal drops to help you access brands actively seeking collaborations.
Understanding that some Influencers desire extra support on their journey to securing more brands, I've developed a suite of valuable resources designed to secure lucrative brand deals and maximize income opportunities.
The primary tool is a downloadable Social Media Checklist, serving as a comprehensive guide of the fundamental building blocks crucial for every successful influencer with brand deals. Additionally, I offer an immersive course featuring a variety of over a dozen downloadable PDF files and over a dozen lessons. This course, titled How to Build Brand Partners and it not only imparts proven strategies from influencers with successful brand deals but also educates you on essential aspects such as positioning yourself with brands, determining your pricing, and crafting compelling pitches to secure lucrative deals.
Another vital aspect of Real Makes is our community, providing exclusive community events for influencers to connect, share knowledge, and learn collaboratively. Presently, we host events exclusively in Atlanta, GA and plan to expand to other major cities such as Dallas, New York, Miami, and Los Angeles in 2024. If you are interested in being a part of our next local event, visit our Events page.
I have several partners that are invaluable in helping influencers and creators be even more successful. Get matched with a Peer Mentor to expand the probability of your success. Always keep in mind, it's not just about increasing your follower count; it's about maximizing the potential of your current audience. Let's convert followers into a revenue stream, unlocking new financial opportunities.
Finally, the genesis of Real Makes is rooted in my commitment to helping individuals capitalize on their influence. Having witnessed the transformation of followers into substantial brand deals, I am excited to share the insights and strategies I've acquired. Beyond individual success, my focus extends to community building, exemplified through exclusive, application-only events in various cities—platforms for peer-led learning in meticulously curated, private venues. I am dedicated to not only sharing my knowledge but also learning from your experiences. Your growth journey is paramount, and together, I want to make sure you get support making money with brands through your social account. Can't wait to see how far you go!
