Every industry, niche, and specialty\nbusiness has influencers. Social media influencers are people who are active on\nsocial media sites like Facebook and Instagram. They have a following that is\ndevoted and that generally takes action based on the influencer\u2019s advice and\nsuggestions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
For example<\/em>: When a fashion influencer may say that he\/she loves a specific brand of sandals their followers will go check out those sandals. Influencers have built a following that trusts them. They\u2019ve worked hard to create credibility, trust, and authority within their niche. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Small business influencers are merely\ninfluencers that are specific to the small business niche. They can be macro-influencers,\nwhich means that they have a large following. This means they have more than\n100,000 followers. They may also have millions, so there\u2019s a broad range here.\nMicro-influencers have fewer than 100,000 followers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The difference between macro and micro\nsmall business influencers is essentially in the numbers. A micro-influencer\nmay have fewer followers, but they\u2019re no less dedicated to the influencer. And\nmicro-influencers may be easier for you to collaborate with. So let\u2019s talk\nabout that next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
What Do Small Business Influencers Do?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
From an influencer perspective, they provide value to their audience. A small business influencer helps their audience, small business owners, build a better business. They may focus on technology content and how to leverage technology to grow your business. Another aspect they focus on is branding or customer relationships. They take a look at a more personal approach and talk about balancing work-life, hiring, and taxes, and other aspects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Small business influencers, macro and micro, make money through partnerships and affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing is an arrangement that has an online retailer pay commission to an external website for traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They also work with brands\nto create a partnership arrangement. For example, you could pay an influencer a\nflat fee to create posts to endorse your brand. You could also work out a\nreferral fee for traffic or sales they make when they send customers to your\nwebsite. These arrangements or partnerships can be quite lucrative for you\nboth. And because they\u2019re providing value to the influencer audience, the\ncollaborative content is authentic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where do You Find Small Business Influencers?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
There are a number of ways\nto identify influencers that you may want to build a relationship with or partner\nwith. You can simply jump onto your social media platform of choice and start\nsearching based on #hashtags, keywords, and brand mentions. Start following\npeople in your industry and pay attention to their followers, engagement, and\ntheir message. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
You can also find influencer marketing platforms. These are essentially databases of influencers and their specific niches. Platforms provide a basic demographic of influencer followers. Influencer marketing can be a strategic way to grow your audience, increase brand engagement, and boost sales.It all begins with identifying key influencers in your nice and the process of research and relationship building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
