• Verify metrics - Fake followers are rampant
• Clear expectations - Documented deliverables prevent conflict
• Creative freedom - Best content comes with flexibility
• Long-term relationships - Repeat partnerships build trust
• Diversify - Don't depend on single influencer
• Micro matters - Micro-influencers often have better ROI
• Track performance - Measure what actually converts
• Compliance - Ensure proper disclosure (FTC, etc.)
• Respect their time - Efficient process matters
