What I liked about this book:

There were some really good resources listed in this book that I have bookmarked and will refer back to. I also really liked that they spelled out the typical going rates for based on platform and encouraged brands to compensate their influencers rather than trying to get them to do free posts in exchange for product. I also liked reading a little more about the FTC guidelines as I have to admit I’ve been a bit ignorant to this.

What I didn’t like about this book:

The table of contents was a bit confusing. There were a lot of sections that I couldn’t tell if it was written for influencers or brands. Even the sections that appeared to be written for influencers according to their titles seemed to be more for the brands. Overall while this book is an excellent tool and provides some great resources I feel like it was more written as a tool for brands rather than influencers.
