Our take? It all depends on which brand ambassadorship you’re talking about.
We whole-heartedly believe that the right brand ambassador program can be a total boon for your career—it can be fun, exciting, open up killer networking opportunities, and even help you diversify your income stream.
Further, good ambassador programs can also offer you benefits like:
- Access to a larger audience (great for your career)
- Lots of new connections (clients and mentors alike)
- Assist in honing new skills
- Bringing home extra bacon
- Equipping you with the best tools, products, and teachers
Seems pretty legit, right?
We think so. But we also contend that bad ambassador programs can be a total waste and a total scam.
This begs the most important question ever—how can you tell if a brand ambassador program is right for you?
We’re here to offer some industry insight to help guide you down this semi-confusing path of ambassadorship. We’ll give you some tell-tale signs that can help you determine if a brand’s program is right for you—we’ll even provide you with a list of some of the most legit ambassador opps out there!
How To Tell If A Brand Is Right For You
Our world—and our industry—is pretty social-media crazed, which means ambassador opportunities are likely popping up around every corner. This situation brings advantages, but it also presents challenges—this over-saturation can make it super tough to decide if partnering with a brand is a wise move.
So, how do you determine if a brand is worth your time, can benefit you, or is even legitimate in the first place?
Run through this checklist to get a better idea of whether or not a particular brand ambassador program is right for you.
- Do you believe in the brand, company, product, and service? If not, you’ll want to automatically knock this brand off your list.
- Is this partnership symbiotic? You never want to agree to something that’s way too one-sided. It might not be equal, but it should be pretty darn close.
- What’s your gut telling you? Don’t ignore this! While we don’t advise only letting your gut-feelings lead your decision-making, we also don’t agree with ignoring it entirely. Trust your instincts.
- Are you on-board with the entire list of ambassador responsibilities? Don’t go into your partnership blind. Have a solid idea of what the company wants from you—don’t commit if you can’t deliver.
