Influencers are exceptionally secretive about how they earn their money, how much they get paid, and why they’re able to grow at such extraordinary rates.

Yes, many influencers and content creators rely on ad revenue from YouTube or support on sites like Patreon. But for influencers to be truly sustainable and successful they need to join one of the several influencer agencies. These influencer agencies will help you make more money, reach a larger audience, and expand beyond simple content creation to ensure you’re able to pursue other ambitions.

Why Sign Up With An Influencer Talent Agency?

Just like models, actors, and other entertainers need an agent or manager, influencers and content creators need this type of support to ensure they’re getting the right kind of compensation. An influencer talent agency will also help you get more deals, whether that be brand deals, speaking gigs, etc.

What’s The Catch?

You may be wondering what the catch is because most companies don’t willingly help others. Influencer talent agencies usually make their money from 

• Revenue share with creators,
• Payment from brands to find manage their influencer marketing, or
• Both.

When you sign up with one of the several influencer agencies on this list it’s important to understand how they make their money. If they prefer to revenue share with creators, you need to find out what revenue share they’ll take from brand deals and determine whether or not that’s a reasonable figure. 

The reason our list is so extensive is that we don’t want you to have only one option or one choice, you can use this list to do research and choose an influencer agency that most suits your needs and ambitions.
