The first question an influencer may ask is, “why do I need a lawyer to make videos or post a company’s product on my Instagram page.” Well if a company is contacting you to use your name or social media page to promote their product, then the answer is obvious…you are viewed as someone who could help them make money and therefore you are valuable to them. That makes you no different than an actor who is being sought out for a film, or a musician who gets signed by a record label. The only difference is that nearly all actors and musicians have legal representation for every deal they do to make sure they understand what is legally required of them as well as understand how their “value” can be protected. The social media world prays on the fact that many influencers don’t have representation and are looking to take advantage of that fact by offering unfavorable terms or tricking you into doing something you don’t intend to do.
