A  lot of small businesses and corporations need influencers to help promote their products, services, jobs, events, culture, charities, and much more. You've proven that you can drive brand awareness and sales and now you can do it for a company that you are passionate about. When you help to give them an edge on the competition that only a digital influencer can provide, it will be in their best interest to keep you well compensated.
