Things you should never say to someone who works in influencer marketing/relations, a thread:
"I have way more followers than the people you work with/partner/gave codes to, you are making a huge mistake."
Yes, you made a huge mistake revealing your true nature to me.

"I know I& #39;ve never made content, but I& #39;m getting all my branding together and I& #39;m going to make my first channel and I& #39;m giving you a special offer of sponsoring me/giving me codes for me + giveaways because I& #39;m going to be the next big star."
Next.

"Why do you keep working with nobodies?"
Who are you again?

"I don& #39;t ever look at my email, can you DM/Discord chat/Text/Smoke Signal me."
I get hundreds of emails a day, just like you do. I& #39;m in meetings as long as you are streaming/making content. I make the effort to check, please check yours too.

"Why aren& #39;t you fixing XYZ, I asked you about it yesterday."
I knew I made the wrong choice in college to not learn computer programming, but give me 4 years and I& #39;ll get right on that for you.

"I should get free stuff and perks, I played 10m hours of your game, have 20,000 headshots, and am the most active member on forums. I shouldn& #39;t have to make content to be considered."
My title literally says "influencers/creators" in it and you aren& #39;t one.

"Can I DM you?"
No, and no, I& #39;m not opening my DMs. If I wanted everyone in the world to ask me the same question over and over and over again, I would be a content creator myself. MAD props to you who can do it, because I can& #39;t.

"Hey, just emailing you so we can talk about sponsorship opportunities for me."
Provides links, ok cool. Newer channel, decent traction and engagement, but gives me no information as to why we should sponsor and content collaboration pitches. Thank you, but no thank you.

"I have 17m LTV on my channel and people love my content, so I& #39;d be a great fit for your program."
Looks, oh so...you haven& #39;t posted in 6 months, uh why do you think you& #39;d be a great fit?

"Hey so me and my buddies can& #39;t afford your game, can you give us codes?"
Look, I remember being poor too, we& #39;ve all had the struggle meal, but if we were in the business of giving it away, we couldn& #39;t make you more games.

"I& #39;m following up on my email from 2 seconds ago with a DM and now I& #39;m following up via email on my DM from 10 seconds ago from my previous email 12 seconds ago."
I& #39;m sorry I don& #39;t sit here hoping you send me an email so I can respond immediately.

"I& #39;m a better player than that other person you sponsored."
Excuse me what? You also don& #39;t speak when you play and I went through all your content hoping you showed some sign of being able to hit all the talking points.

Sent in from someone still working on the front lines: "I& #39;m a Twitch partner, can I get a code?"
Look, I& #39;m happy for you and excited for you, it& #39;s a huge milestone. That doesn& #39;t give you a free access pass, you still have to meet requirements.

"All my friends got invited, that& #39;s not fair."
Honey, life isn& #39;t fair. I& #39;m sorry your channel and your content didn& #39;t come up in any of the list pulls we did, but it be like that sometimes. A lot of factors go into it and you weren& #39;t considered. Maybe next time.

"Why aren& #39;t you featuring me more?"
We work with a lot of people across all platforms who create all types of content. It takes awhile to cycle through everyone and give them a chance to shine. Sharing is caring.

"How did you get your job? I think I could do it since I& #39;m an influencer/creator."
Ok, while you& #39;re at it, can you finish this marketing deck by tomorrow morning for me? Thanks!

"Oh, I thought you were a CM/Social Media Manager."
No, does this face look like someone who has the patience of a saint and the wit of Ivy League graduate with the skills of a young Van Gogh? Please don& #39;t confuse me with my betters.
