This episode makes me want to be an Amazon Fashion Influencer SOOO badly!
Denise broke it down for us. How she makes content, how she makes money, and how much she makes from her Amazon Affiliate links... *hint* (it's a lot). This was an awesome conversion and I know I learned a ton.
One of the biggest takeaways, is how she relies on SEO for people to find her videos. She breaks down her SEO/hashtag strategy and why it works.
The only thing not fashionable about Denise, is that she doesn't have any CharCharms (yet). Go shop CharCharms at CharCharms.com.
