The selection of an experienced and relevant influencer is a must for success in API influencer marketing. The content creator will become your brand ambassador. The person will represent your brand on the chosen media like Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and TikTok. Since there are many social media enthusiasts working as influencers, you can explore as many options as possible.
Here’s how to find the right influencer for your brand
Step One: Compile a list of opinion leaders you find relevant to your brand. If you are into the cosmetics business, the influencer should be a beautician or dermatologist. Prepare a short list of content creators that can influence the opinion of your targeted audiences.
Step Two: Follow those influencers to check what they post, how many times they post, how do they communicate through videos, pictures, texts, etc., how many likes they receive on their posts, and how much their posts are viewed and shared. Filter those whose posts receive little response to find your KOL Instagram.
Step Three: Start communicating to a potential marketing partner by engaging with his/her posts. You can start with commenting on the posts but the comments should be organic and not sales oriented. Tell the content creator what you like most and what you dislike in his/her posts. Soon the influencer will start taking note of your comments by replying to your comments.
Step Four: Once you start communicating with a potential partner, you can send a direct message for API Influencer Marketing. It should be a personal message and the receiver should feel as if you are impressed with his/her work and you want him/her to join your brand as an ambassador.
Note: Avoid sending bulk emails to opinion leaders as it won’t give a good impression of your brand. The influencer you want to collaborate with should feel obliged by your message. It will be a great start to a long-term and fruitful business partnership.
Step Five: Once you collaborate with a KOL Instagram, you can start working on creative ideas for a successful marketing campaign. Allow the content creator to make fruitful posts for your business and you keep an eye over the results from the top. Also, be ready to interrupt, if you feel that the content creator needs guidance in creating posts.
