What do you think about the future of influencer/ambassador marketing with the recession, downfall of ads, etc.?

[ycee]

While having a content channel and email list is the best, I've observed that influencer marketing and related channels (affiliate, ambassador marketing) are taking off among both ecommerce and SaaS brands nowadays.

I see two trends here:
- Ads are not working as well as they used to.
- The current economy warrants only profitable growth.

The rise of these channels makes sense to me because:
1. You don't pay until you validate it: You can start working with influencers as "ambassadors" and only pay-per-sale, making it way better than the pay per impression model of ads.
2. It's easier to niche target with nanoinfluencers.
3. It's unit-profitable growth.
4. People trust recommendations more than ads.

Has anyone here tried Influencer/Ambassador marketing lately? Curious to hear your thoughts and results!
