Another effective strategy is to provide influencers with creative freedom while maintaining brand guidelines. Allowing influencers to showcase products or services in a way that suits their style and content format not only makes the endorsement more natural but also encourages creativity that can captivate their audience more effectively. This approach often results in content that feels less like traditional advertising and more like a personal recommendation, which tends to be more persuasive.

• Barter system - where brands give their product or services to them for free and in exchange they promote their brand
• Paying amount to promote the brand
• Letting them take over your account for a day

I know I'm more inclined to watch/follow influencers that whose knowledge, expertise, and skill speak for them, and is only enhanced by trying or demonstrating a product

I think the more effective ways are the ones the brands are introduced in the influencer`s routine like they are using the products because they really like them and not just because they are sponsored by the brand. I have seen unpacking boxes, tutorials on how to use the product, tasting or testing the products, feedback on products, and overall thoughts... But when you see the product introduced in their routine it's more interesting.
