Frequently Asked Questions

How are Instagram influencer rates determined?

Influencer rates are primarily determined by follower count, engagement rate, niche, content type, and platform. A common baseline formula is $100 per 10,000 followers per post, but rates vary significantly. Influencers in high-value niches like finance, tech, and luxury can charge substantially more than those in general lifestyle categories.

What is a good engagement rate for Instagram influencers?

A good engagement rate on Instagram typically ranges from 1% to 5%, with micro-influencers (10K-100K followers) often achieving higher rates of 3-7%. Engagement rate is calculated as (likes + comments) / followers × 100. Higher engagement rates indicate a more active, interested audience and can justify higher pricing for sponsored content.

What factors affect influencer pricing beyond follower count?

Key factors include engagement rate, audience demographics (age, location, income), content quality, niche relevance, usage rights, exclusivity clauses, deliverable complexity (stories vs. reels vs. feed posts), and campaign duration. An influencer with fewer but highly targeted followers may provide better ROI than one with more followers but lower engagement.

What is the difference between micro, macro, and mega influencers?

Nano-influencers have 1K-10K followers, micro-influencers have 10K-100K, macro-influencers have 100K-1M, and mega-influencers have over 1M followers. Micro-influencers typically offer higher engagement rates and more authentic connections at lower costs, while macro and mega influencers provide broader reach but often at higher costs and lower engagement percentages.

How should brands calculate influencer marketing ROI?

ROI can be calculated by tracking metrics like cost per engagement (CPE), cost per acquisition (CPA), and earned media value (EMV). Direct ROI is measured through trackable links, promo codes, and conversion attribution. A successful influencer campaign typically aims for $5-$6 in earned media value for every $1 spent.
