    Negotiation Strategies That Make This Creator $130K A Year In Brand Partnerships

    Today’s case study centers on a highly requested, sparsely covered topic on our podcast: adding sponsored brand deals as a revenue stream to your business. In our conversation with Lisette Calveiro, CEO of Influence with Impact, we specifically lean into the pricing and negotiation strategies that generated her $130,000 from brand partnerships this year alone — accounting for 20% of her 2024 revenue. Lisette breaks down all the overlooked pricing factors beyond views and follower counts that net her higher rates and give her leverage in negotiations with brands, as well as reveals transparent insights on creator earnings and recent brand deals.

    Increasing Annual Sales By $1M with a Strategic Licensing Deal

    Today’s case study is the business poster child of making lemonade out of lemons, starring the husband/wife duo Michelle Luchese and John Ruggiero who turned a bad wedding ring buying experience into founding Manly Bands, the #1 digital marketplace for men’s wedding jewelry and a multi-million dollar business.  Helping to catapult their brand to #1 are lucrative licensing deals with household brands like Jack Daniels, Jeep, and Fender. In this conversation, we specifically unpack their partnership with the Tolkien Estate —a rare deal that positioned Manly Bands as one of only two brands with official Lord of the Rings licensing rights. Since the launch of their epic Lord of The Rings Collection in 2022, it’s become one of Manly Bands’ top-selling collections, adding over 7,000 new customers and a $1M lift in revenue from 2022 to 2023, with projections to exceed that increase in 2024. From crafting standout pitches to conducting thorough market research and negotiating high-profile licensing deals, follow the data-driven decisions driving Michelle and John’s impressive growth with Manly Bands.
