Your Follower Count Means Nothing (Why Brands Don’t Care)

What happens when a creator with 20,000 followers lands better sponsorship deals than creators with millions? Avi Gandhi proves that follower count is the least important metric when pitching brands—and he shares exactly how he's doing it.

Here's what we cover:

• Why brands don't care about your follower count (and what they actually care about instead)

• The repurposing rights you're giving away for free that could be worth thousands

• How to turn affiliate partnerships into hybrid deals with guaranteed upfront payments

• The exact framework for positioning yourself to B2B brands on LinkedIn

• Why LinkedIn creators are dramatically underpriced compared to other platforms
