how to become a brand ambassador
Brand Ambassadors are influencers for brands, representing the company in public and at events. As a Brand Ambassador, you’re not a salesperson – you work hard to build your own credibility by being an expert on the brand and connecting personally with customers.
1. Look for In-Person Opportunities
As stated above, Craigslist was a great avenue for me but those listings always had an email address, website and phone number. Each opportunity I found via Craigslist involved me speaking to an actual person on the phone before going to the interview.
Do not proceed to meet anyone in person from a Craigslist ad without speaking to them on the phone and getting some information about the company beforehand. Look up the website, address and anything you can find online about the brand.
In addition to Craigslist, you can find in-person gigs on the following sites and searching “brand ambassador” for the job title:
- Indeed
- Glassdoor
2. Choose Your Main Platform (Youtube, Blog, or Social Media Only)
If you decide to become an online brand ambassador or “influencer”, pick your main platform to start out with and expand later if you want. I say to start with one because it can become difficult (and distracting) when trying to manage multiple platforms and accounts.
Look up free resources and courses for how to start a blog, YouTube channel or Podcast. Don’t invest in any paid training until you have a clear plan of how you will make that money back.
If running a blog or creating multiple videos and podcast episodes seems like too much, start small with a social media account first like on Instagram. Create a clear profile, post meaningful content and post often. Give yourself some time to build up an audience and then think about creating a website to expand your audience.
3. Learn Marketing
To become a successful brand ambassador, you will need to learn some basic marketing skills.
This is something I was resistant to at first but as soon as I started to go off and learn some of this stuff, everything became much easier.
