Specifically:<\/p>\n<p>1,000\u201310,000 followers<\/p>\n<p>10,000\u201350,000 followers<\/p>\n<p>Influencers with 50,000\u2013500,000 followers<\/p>\n<p>Macro influencers: 500,000-1,000,000 fans<\/p>\n<p>Mega-influencers: 1\u20135 million fans<\/p>\n<p>Celeb influencers: 5 million fans<\/p>\n<p>The bigger the influencer, the more costly it is going to be.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, gaining more followers isn&#8217;t always the best option.<\/p>\n<p>Influencers with 100,000+ followers are preferred by 88% of marketers. While 35% prefer people with 10,000 or less followers.<\/p>\n<p>More intimate connections with their followers allow smaller Instagram influencers to convert better.<\/p>\n<p>Conversely, bigger influencers have massive reach, but the campaign may not be profitable due to the cost of collaboration.<\/p>\n<h4>Content engagement<\/h4>\n<p>The engagement rates of your influencers are probably the most vital.<\/p>\n<p>If a candidate has many followers but few likes, shares, or comments on their posts, it either means that people are uninterested or that the followers are fake.<\/p>\n<p>In either case, your campaign will fail.<\/p>\n<p>Influencer fraud can be avoided by looking at engagement and asking for content analytics.<\/p>\n<h4>Audience<\/h4>\n<p>Influencers connect your brand to your target demographic.<\/p>\n<p>So you must research the creators and content that your target audience enjoys.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, each influencer&#8217;s audience is distinct.<\/p>\n<p>Just because two influencers share a niche doesn&#8217;t mean your promotion will work.<\/p>\n<p>So look at your market and the influencer&#8217;s audience.<\/p>\n<h4>Examine your clients<\/h4>\n<p>The best influencer campaigns are genuine to the audience.<\/p>\n<p>Also, it should be clear that the person is not just being paid to promote the products.<\/p>\n<p>This aspect is more vital than many realize. Your collaboration&#8217;s authenticity may determine its success.<\/p>\n<p>90 percent of consumers say authenticity is important when choosing brands.<\/p>\n<p>So, your best brand influencers are already your customers.<\/p>\n<p>Look at your Instagram followers first to find influencers.<\/p>\n<p>Continue browsing until you find someone who meets your criteria.<\/p>\n<p>While you wait, email your customers to let them know you&#8217;re looking for collaborators.<\/p>\n<h4>Using hashtags<\/h4>\n<p>Tags are widely used by Instagram creators.<\/p>\n<p>As a brand, you can search for relevant hashtags and top influencers.<\/p>\n<p>Using the right hashtags should allow you to see the top influencers posting at that time.<\/p>\n<p>Look for hashtags like #fitness, #fitnessmotivation, #nutrition, etc. if your niche is fitness.<\/p>\n<p>Go through the content and see who matches your criteria.<\/p>\n<h4>Find similar influencers<\/h4>\n<p>Instagram suggests similar accounts when you follow one.<\/p>\n<p>This is based on what people do.<\/p>\n<p>Using this feature requires you to follow influencers.<\/p>\n<p>Examine as many bios and content as you can.<\/p>\n<p>This is a great way to find similar influencers.<\/p>\n<h4>Make use of Google<\/h4>\n<p>If you&#8217;re here, you&#8217;ve probably Googled &#8220;finding Instagram influencers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>You can also find top influencers on Google for most niches.<\/p>\n<p>Simply search for \u201ctop [your niche\/industry] influencers\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Usually, the most popular influencers are found.<\/p>\n<p>This method, however, excludes many potential brand-friendly influencers.<\/p>\n<p>So use these lists as a starting point for research, not decision making.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Instagram comes to mind when you think of influencers.
