Here are some tips on how to begin the perfect influencer hunt!
Use search engines to look for the perfect influencer for your campaign
Many of us are familiar with the idea that influencers can make or break brands.
Why not take a look at which fashion Instagram influencers have been getting people talking this year? Simply Google “top fashion influencers” or “fashion influencers on Instagram” and you will find all sorts of articles about who’s on top.
If you don’t know where to find your target audience, take a look at who is following the right people.
Yes, while Instagram has simplified interactions with other users by providing hashtags that categorize content collections and aiding in search algorithms for ranking posts (even if they are not using tags), there are still opportunities that slip through the cracks due to improper usage of these tools.
Search for Niche influencers
You can follow these niche influencers and get recommendations for other accounts that they like or have interacted with in the past. You will also be given more options if your own account has liked posts from this person before as well.
It’s very easy, however, with one tap in settings under “following” then press “subscribe” next to any person they recommend as well-worth following!
Check what competitors are doing
Study your competitors’ advertising by paying close attention to their posts on social media. From there, you should also compare and contrast the content with other similar accounts that are in a different industry.
Use tools to facilitate the search
You can use tools to help you search for the best influencer for your campaign.
Platforms like trendHero are perfect for this, as they give you a History of previous sponsorships the influencer has taken.
Don’t choose based only on Engagement Rate
Influencer marketing is all about choosing the right people to work with, but Engagement Rate can’t be your only criteria. If you search by “ER > 5%,” there may be many hidden gems that will never get found because they didn’t have enough engagement.
There are 3 major factors when it comes to only analyze an influencer based on Engagement Rate:
Fake engagement (fake likes and spammy comments);
The size of your following determines how much you should charge per post based on Engagement Rate (Earnings Per Reach);
The CPM of an influencer.Lastly, don’t go only for macro or mega influencers and consider reaching out to an influencer marketing agency!
