What are the goals for your campaign? Who is your target audience?<\/p>\n Once you\u2019ve mapped these out, you\u2019ll know what metrics<\/b><\/p>\n to keep track of.<\/p>\n If your goal is to increase brand awareness,<\/b> you\u2019ll need to monitor your brand\u2019s social media growth, following, and interactions.<\/p>\n If your goal is to generate more sales<\/b><\/a>,<\/b> you\u2019ll need to monitor conversion rates from affiliate links through the influencer.<\/p>\n You\u2019ll also need to determine the type of influencers<\/b> you want to work with and what value they\u2019ll add to your brand.<\/p>\n After you\u2019ve determined your goals, it\u2019s time to do the research.<\/b> Search for influencers in your brand\u2019s niche, and the audience they attract.<\/p>\n Research all their social media profiles<\/b> and any other background information you can find.<\/p>\n Here are some questions to ask when looking at influencers:<\/p>\n You can look for influencers by searching organically or going through an agency. There are also platforms created for this, kind of like an \u201cinfluencer hub\u201d.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n You\u2019ll want to choose an influencer who aligns with your brand.<\/b><\/p>\n The idea isn\u2019t to choose someone whose aesthetic and whose feed will need to change to fit in with your brand.<\/p>\n You should choose an influencer who already has a similar aesthetic and target audience<\/b> to your brand.<\/p>\n They\u2019ve got their following and support for a reason, so your collaboration with them must develop naturally.<\/b><\/p>\n This will project a genuine relationship<\/b> that won\u2019t look and feel like just an ad.<\/p>\n Once you\u2019ve decided who your chosen influencer is, you\u2019ll need to reach out to them both privately and publicly.<\/b><\/p>\n You can start by following them, and liking and commenting<\/b> on some of their posts. Do this in an authentic way so it doesn\u2019t sound or feel forced.<\/p>\n Share their posts<\/b>, mention them in your blogs, and tag them when you post about their blog.<\/p>\n Reach out to them privately via DM (direct message) or email. Ensure that you construct a personalized message<\/b> so that they know you\u2019ve taken the time to research and learn about them.<\/p>\n Although Instagram<\/b><\/a> is typically the platform brands go to, influencers are also prominent on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n Choose a platform where your target audience interacts the most.<\/b><\/p>\n This is a surefire way to increase revenue<\/b> because your potential customers are likely to be followers of your collaborator.<\/p>\n You don\u2019t have to stick to influencers with a huge following.<\/p>\n Micro-influencers <\/b>could be better suited to your brand, especially for increasing revenue and engagement.<\/p>\n Micro-influencers tend to have more engagement with their followers than major influencers<\/a> do. They also tend to nurture their niche<\/b> and dish out regular creative content.<\/p>\n Their group of followers may be small, but they\u2019re dedicated<\/b> and value the influencer\u2019s opinion.<\/p>\n Smaller communities<\/b> usually gather on Facebook groups and platforms like<\/p>\n Reddit<\/a>.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n Marketing to smaller communities allows you to create high target campaigns.\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n For even more exposure, you could approach a few of the best influencers in your niche. If more than one<\/b> wants to work with your brand, that\u2019s a big score.<\/p>\n The influencers you work with will also want the collaboration to be of value to them.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n In this case, you\u2019ve got to offer them something beneficial.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n When you reach out to them, offer to write about them, offer to write guest posts about them or, co-host or feature on your podcast<\/b>. You can also reach out and potentially ask them to create a vlog with you.<\/p>\n This results in exposure for both parties, and it can secure a lucrative, beneficial relationship.<\/b><\/p>\n A mutually-beneficial<\/b> collaboration will go a lot further than just asking them to create a post featuring your brand.<\/p>\n Most influencers charge less than $500 for a sponsored post. The compensation you give will depend on the type of collaboration.<\/b><\/p>\n Although, you don\u2019t have to solely compensate through money.<\/p>\n You could gift them<\/b> free products, or exclusive products that haven\u2019t been released yet.<\/p>\n1.
