OK. A music promoter sends a song to an internet star who maybe dances to the song. The music company then pays for every view or 'like' which that video gets. Or clothes retailers give lots of their products to influencers since they hope the influencers will wear or just mention their stuff online. Influencers never pay for clothes or makeup or skateboards or games. Marketing companies are THROWING stuff at them all the time.

Well, you'll need a minimum of 400,000 followers. That doesn't happen overnight, but when you are successful, you can earn big money. Some vloggers started earning when they were still at school! Online marketing is MASSIVE. Companies want to reach young customers as they spend a LOT and they stick with the brands that they like.

Good luck!
