Below are six easy steps you can follow to find the right influencers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Define the campaign objective and&nbsp;goals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The objective behind your influencer marketing campaigns and the <a href=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/marketing-goals\/\">goals<\/a> you want to achieve determine which influencers and channels you should go after. Hence, it\u2019s important to define them before starting your research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, brands run influencer marketing campaigns for new product launches, promoting a sale, brand-building, and more. The goals also vary\u2014from getting more app installs, to website visits, to impressions, to lead generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, for promoting a Christmas sale, you\u2019ll look for Instagram influencers who promote different products on their stories, hence driving instant traffic. Remember, these goals will also help you evaluate the performance of your marketing campaign after you run&nbsp;it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Figure out your budget<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The next step is to allocate a budget for your campaign. Your budget depends on various factors, including the:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Type of influencer (mega, micro, macro, etc.) you\u2019re collaborating with.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Number of influencers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Niche.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Platforms you\u2019re targeting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>While there\u2019s no one way to figure out the budget, you can calculate potential conversions from your campaign and accordingly allocate the budget. But this solely depends on your goal. Sometimes, brands run influencer marketing campaigns solely for brand awareness; for this, calculating ROI can be difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In some cases, brands run influencer marketing campaigns to get a better ROI (when compared to paid advertisements). So you can keep that as a benchmark when calculating the budget too.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Type of influencers&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The easiest way to group influencers is on the basis of their audience size. Knowing the different groups will help you plan your strategy better. Here\u2019s the breakdown:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1446\" src=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/1-five-types-of-influencers.png\" alt=\"Five types of influencers\" class=\"wp-image-145703\" style=\"width:560px;height:506px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/1-five-types-of-influencers.png 1600w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/1-five-types-of-influencers-470x425.png 470w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/1-five-types-of-influencers-768x694.png 768w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/1-five-types-of-influencers-1536x1388.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.

Just by analyzing these backlinks, you can discover potential influencers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can easily accomplish this using Ahrefs\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/site-explorer\">Site Explorer<\/a>. Here are the steps you can follow:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Go to <a href=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/site-explorer\">Site Explorer<\/a> and enter the common URL on the search box with \u201cExact URL\u201d selected&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click on \u201cBacklinks\u201d to look at all the backlinks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can choose additional filters like DR and type of backlink (<a href=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/nofollow-links\/\">nofollow<\/a> or dofollow) to further narrow your search<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"3360\" height=\"1442\" src=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/11-backlink-research-site-explorer.png\" alt=\"Backlinks report results, via Ahrefs' Site Explorer\" class=\"wp-image-145719\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/11-backlink-research-site-explorer.png 3360w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/11-backlink-research-site-explorer-680x292.png 680w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/11-backlink-research-site-explorer-768x330.png 768w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/11-backlink-research-site-explorer-1536x659.png 1536w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/11-backlink-research-site-explorer-2048x879.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3360px) 100vw, 3360px\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of the time, influencers link to the sign-up page or the homepage. You can also set up alerts on new backlinks using <a href=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/alerts\">Ahrefs Alerts<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Look for brand ambassadors proactively<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of the time, collaborating with brand ambassadors can have a larger impact than influencers. Unlike influencers who\u2019ve never used your product\/service before, brand ambassadors already understand the value of your product\/service. Hence, they can go above and beyond when promoting it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While discovering brand ambassadors may not be hard, as they\u2019ll eventually reach you through email or social media, we recommend finding them proactively through the following popular methods:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. <strong>Monitor social media for people who\u2019ve given a shout-out to your product\/service or sent you a message<\/strong> \u2013 To automate this process, you can leverage social media monitoring tools such as <a href=\"https:\/\/mention.com\/en\/\">Mention<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. <strong>Keep an eye out for reviews or mentions in the form of an article or a YouTube video<\/strong> \u2013 To automate the process, you can set up an alert for <a href=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/unlinked-mentions\/\">web mentions<\/a> on Ahrefs. Just set up a <a href=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/alerts\">new alert for mentions<\/a> by adding relevant keywords and choosing how often you want to receive these updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"598\" height=\"597\" src=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/12-alerts-ahrefs-web-mentions.png\" alt=\"Setting up a new alert in Ahrefs Alerts\" class=\"wp-image-145720\" style=\"width:449px;height:448px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/12-alerts-ahrefs-web-mentions.png 598w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/12-alerts-ahrefs-web-mentions-426x425.png 426w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 598px) 100vw, 598px\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>3. <strong>Keep an eye on newsletter mentions in your niche<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 The most effective way to do this is to subscribe to all the popular newsletters.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally, a good practice is to keep a record of your brand ambassadors so you can reach out to them when you plan to run a new campaign.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Get recommendations from your audience&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, finding influencers can be as easy as putting out a social media post or email to your subscribers and asking them which influencers you should partner with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I know this sounds too good to be true, but Ahrefs did exactly that on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ahrefs\/status\/1463495813900820488\">Twitter<\/a> and was overwhelmed with responses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only did it find influencers quickly, but its tweet also went viral and got hundreds of responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/ahrefs\/status\/1463495813900820488<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, when writing the post, you need to provide enough information to your readers so that you only get relevant suggestions. For example, Ahrefs mentioned the following in the&nbsp;post:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Budget<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Type of influencers&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Channels<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, remember to ask your readers to amplify your tweet to increase your&nbsp;reach.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"post-nav-link clearfix\" id=\"section1\"><a class=\"subhead-anchor\" data-tip=\"tooltip__copielink\" rel=\"#section1\"><svg width=\"19\" height=\"19\" viewBox=\"0 0 14 14\" style><g fill=\"none\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\"><path d=\"M0 0h14v14H0z\" \/><path d=\"M7.45 9.887l-1.62 1.621c-.92.92-2.418.92-3.338 0a2.364 2.364 0 0 1 0-3.339l1.62-1.62-1.273-1.272-1.62 1.62a4.161 4.161 0 1 0 5.885 5.884l1.62-1.62L7.45 9.886zM5.527 5.135L7.17 3.492c.92-.92 2.418-.92 3.339 0 .92.92.92 2.418 0 3.339L8.866 8.473l1.272 1.273 1.644-1.643A4.161 4.161 0 1 0 5.897 2.22L4.254 3.863l1.272 1.272zm-.66 3.998a.749.749 0 0 1 0-1.06l2.208-2.206a.749.749 0 1 1 1.06 1.06L5.928 9.133a.75.75 0 0 1-1.061 0z\" style \/><\/g><\/svg><\/a><div class=\"link-text\" data-anchor=\"Vetting the influencers\" data-section=\"vetting-influencers\">\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vetting the influencers&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>After building your influencer list, don\u2019t start your outreach instantly. I recommend going through an extensive vetting process. This is because the last thing you want your campaigns to reach is fake followers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the vetting process, you should look at metrics like:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Engagement rate<\/strong> \u2013 This number denotes the level of engagement generated from a piece of content. You can calculate this at a post level or an account level. For example, the average engagement rate on Instagram is 0.98% (<a href=\"https:\/\/sproutsocial.com\/insights\/instagram-stats\/\">Sprout Social<\/a>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"774\" src=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/13-engagement-rate-formula.png\" alt=\"Formula for engagement rate\" class=\"wp-image-145722\" style=\"width:540px;height:232px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/13-engagement-rate-formula.png 1800w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/13-engagement-rate-formula-680x292.png 680w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/13-engagement-rate-formula-768x330.png 768w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/13-engagement-rate-formula-1536x660.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Engagement quality<\/strong> \u2013 This is the percentage of real\/active followers among the total engaged followers. While finding this manually is difficult, multiple tools can help you find the engagement quality for a certain account.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Growth rate<\/strong> \u2013 This shows the number of subscribers added by an influencer in a certain period of time. Social Blade, for example, shows the growth rate for an influencer both daily and monthly.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of the tools we\u2019ve covered above can easily help you find the above metrics. However, you can also find these metrics manually by going through the profiles. Sometimes, just a glance is enough to differentiate an authentic influencer from a fake&nbsp;one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, remember the niche also has an impact on the engagement rate and growth. Hence, compare influencers and their engagement rate\/quality only within the same&nbsp;niche.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before reaching out to influencers, you should also look at the sponsorships they\u2019ve done before and if your brand values align with theirs. If they don\u2019t, you\u2019re better off not collaborating with those influencers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a digital world, everything you publish online is reflective of your brand. One small mistake is enough to create outrage and tarnish your brand. This holds true for whom you collaborate with too. Hence, it\u2019s important to take enough time to analyze influencers before collaborating with&nbsp;them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to run successful influencer marketing campaigns, you need to look beyond relevancy and follower count.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even when you have the budget to collaborate with a mega influencer, you can get a better result by collaborating with multiple micro influencers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hope our guide helps you find the right influencers and that it answered a few questions you had before reading this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Got more questions?
