Start by thinking about the products you feel strongly about, ones that you’ve either used or have a genuine interest in, that fit your Influencer persona and you feel will spark your Followers’ interest. Your searches can be really specific or start more broadly to find new things you like.

Not every product you use will be in the database, of course, because not every company utilizes Influencer Marketing or approaches it the same way, but with more than half a million products in the database, you’re bound to find things that resonate with you!
