How do I find influencers for my brand?
Start by defining your target audience and campaign goals. Use influencer discovery tools to filter by niche, location, follower count, and engagement rate. Look for creators whose audience aligns with your target demographic and whose content style matches your brand values.
What's a good engagement rate to look for?
Engagement rates vary by platform and follower count. Generally, look for 1-3% on Instagram, 3-9% on TikTok, and 2-4% on YouTube. Micro-influencers (1K-100K followers) typically have higher engagement rates than macro-influencers.
What should I include in a creator brief?
Include campaign objectives, key messages, deliverables, timeline, usage rights, compensation, brand guidelines, hashtags, and any specific requirements. Be clear about what you want while allowing creative freedom for authentic content.
How much should I pay influencers?
Rates vary widely based on platform, follower count, engagement, and content type. As a baseline: $10-100 per 1K followers for Instagram posts, $20-200 per 1K for TikTok, and $100-500 per 1K for YouTube. Always negotiate based on value and campaign scope.
How do I measure campaign success?
Track metrics aligned with your goals: reach and impressions for awareness, engagement rate for engagement campaigns, click-through rates and conversions for sales. Use UTM codes, promo codes, and platform analytics to measure performance accurately.
What are the legal considerations for influencer partnerships?
Ensure proper FTC disclosure (#ad, #sponsored), have clear contracts covering deliverables and usage rights, respect intellectual property, and comply with platform-specific guidelines. Consider working with legal counsel for larger campaigns.
