So, you’ve recently decided that you want to implement Influencer Marketing into your social media strategy. What an epic idea! Go you!

For those who don’t understand the concept, Influencer Marketing is basically a form of marketing that focuses more on an individual and the influence their opinion has over others, rather than the potential customer themselves. The key to successful brand collaborations is a win/win, mutually beneficial exchange of value.

But defining the right influencers for your brand and how to reach them can be challenging. Knowing where the heck to start can be the hardest hump to overcome. Here is a list of questions that will help you to find an influencer that aligns with your brand:

• Have you built a database of influencers you want to work with?
• What results do you want to achieve? Is it more website visits? Better brand awareness? Or just to create some beautiful content?
• Are your influencers active on social media? Do they create their own content and have established a connection level of trust with their audience?
• How do your chosen influencers speak to their audience? Does it align with how you speak to yours?
• What value exchange can be made and is it fair? Is it a “I’ll scratch your back if you scratch mine” kinda thing. Or are you paying for their service?
• What is your overarching brand story? Does it resonate with each influencer and their audience?
