Influencer Marketing for Small Businesses

What is a Micro-Influencer?

Creators on every social media platform, including Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok, come with a different number of followers. While top influencers can have many millions of followers, like Gigi Hadid to Cristiano Ronaldo, micro-influencers have a following of less than 10 thousand. They generally have a dedicated following and can create content with high engagement rates. All this but at a more reasonable cost than their macro counterparts, and therefore, a good option for small businesses.

Where Can I Find Micro-Influencers?

The best way to go about it is to use the platform to search for people who you’d like to work with. One option is to go to a competitor’s profile and scan the comments for highly active users who have a following of their own, as these are the people who will likely make good micro-influencers. Another way to find micro-influencers to help you with your digital marketing campaign is to use hashtags and look for people sharing content in your niche, you can also take a closer look at your existing followers to see if any of them might make an effective micro-influencer.

Why Do Micro-Influencers Work?

Because micro-influencers are working with smaller numbers, they are better able to engage with their followers in a one-to-one manner, and ultimately, they end up with something that looks more like a community than a fanbase. Their followers trust them because they are able to relate, giving weight to the words of a micro-influencer, making them a powerful tool in the marketing toolkit.
