Honestly if I was a "Influencer" I would pay for what ever I was promoting. Unless they come to you, you are a peice of shit asking for stuff for free.
If you are asking for free stuff for taking pictures with it than you really dont believe in what you are trying to get people to buy. It is like seeing a skinny person talking about how much they love the new double chilli and nacho cheese fried bacon wrapped burger. Lol Sorry but I doubt you do.
That's why I like the Instagram people I follow they all pay full price for the store they show.
That's the thing, most of those pukes don't know how it works. If they had a sliver of a hint and were genuine buisness people and real internet social media whatevers, they'd know that:
1) You buy it first at cost.
2) THEN deduct it from your taxes as an operational expense.
Otherwise, free goods have to be declared at retail value as income on your taxes.
I'd loooove to hear about an influencer going toe to toe with the IRS over unreported income.
