Hacks to Execute Influencer Campaign With Less Bandwidth <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Finding Influencers <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

What’s the first step that comes to your mind when trying to find influencers for your campaign?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google Search\u2026 <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ofcourse, you get a list of influencers from different blogs, but that’s not the end of the list. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, you can try the following ways to find the influencers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A. Using Hashtags<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Consider you’re a food brand operating in Bangalore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then you can search like #foodbloggerbangalore #bengalurufoodblogger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This way, you can see a list of posts with the same hashtag. Now, research every profile to see if you can shortlist them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your hashtag can be based on industry, location, or celebration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

B. Following Look Alike<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When you follow one influencer, Instagram will automatically suggest related influencers. Now you can figure out if they suit your brand or not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

C. Finding Influencer Mutual Network<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This step is more luck based; you can still try it out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can find the influencers following influencers from a similar niche for content inspiration or more of a following peer-to-peer basis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Analyzing Profiles <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A. See the Following Rate<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Once you end up in an influencer profile, what\u2019s the first thing you notice?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Follower count\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Follower count helps categorize which type of influencer they’re: Mega\/macro\/mid-tier\/micro\/nano. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

B. Analyze the Engagement Rate<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Only considering the influencer’s following number will not help finalize whether their content engages well with their audience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go through their posts and see the average number of likes and comments the influencer received. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’ll give you a fair idea of the influencer’s engagement with their audience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

C. Research Previous Campaigns<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s time to take a step ahead and see the number of collaborations they have done with competitors or other brands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check the comments, likes, and views the content has received. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secret: <\/strong>Comment section would help determine the average number of bot followers engaging with the influencer’s account.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Outreach <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A. Social Media DM<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A traditional and go-to method most marketers try is reaching out to influencers via social media DM (Direct message.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The chances of your message being in their queue are higher; however, if you get lucky, they might also respond to your message. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

B. Email<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Most influencers should have added their email address in their profile section. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try emailing them why you think they’d best suit your brand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If there’s no response to your email, try sending a follow-up email. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

C. Commenting on Posts <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

As a last resort, try commenting on influencer posts to notify them your brand would like to collaborate with them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drawback\u2026 might annoy most of the influencers. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try not to go overboard and spam their comment section. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Ask for the price of the influencer and see if it fits your marketing budget. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      If not, try negotiating with the number of deliverables you expect or by offering the products (if only they agree). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      B. Finalize the Type of Content<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

      The influencer working on so many campaigns might have a basic understanding of what will work for their target audience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Discuss your ideas with the influencer and confirm the type of content you’d like to proceed with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      6. Tracking Campaign<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
