In this week’s show, I’m joined by my friend and influencer marketing specialist Nik Speller.   We discuss the influencer space; brand relationships and earnings; as well as '<em>Insta Fraud</em>' - users paying for followers or using automated systems to like and engage with content.    Nik's statement about recent changes to the system:    <em>"With the recent changes to the Instagram API, it might seem that a conversation about Instagram bots was now redundant. However, despite Instagram’s best efforts, the bots still persist and a discussion about their impact is still as pertinent as ever."</em>     Email me: <a href= "mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>    SHOW LINKS:  <ul> <li>Social Blade: <a href= "https://robin.yt/2s375F3">https://robin.yt/2s375F3</a></li> <li>Nik's YouTube video -  <ul> <li>'How To Spot The Instagram Cheats: A Tutorial' - <a href= "https://robin.yt/2s0trae">https://robin.yt/2s0trae</a> </li> </ul> </li> </ul>   Go say “hello” to Nik...     <a href="https://robin.yt/2s2SXLT" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Instagram</a> | <a href="https://robin.yt/2s5rycb" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter</a>     FOLLOW ME!   Come and follow me on... <a href="http://bitly.com/RobinYT">YouTube</a> | <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/manforhimself/">Instagram</a> | <a href= "https://twitter.com/ManForHimself">Twitter</a> | <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/ManForHimself/">Facebook </a>   <a href="https://www.manforhimself.com">Check out my blog here.</a>     PRODUCTION:  Music - <a href="https://soundcloud.com/lakeyinspired">Lakey Inspired</a>      <em>This podcast is not sponsored. </em><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
