The first thing to decide when it comes to reaching the right set of influencers is to decide the category of the influencers. This depends on what brand you’re trying to promote. Is it a beauty brand, is it a software brand, etc. Deciding what brand you’re trying to promote will help you in deciding what category you have to go for when it comes to influencer marketing.

4. Key Metrics
You have to understand the growth of the influencer you want to work with. What’s their follower count? Would you want to work with a nano influencer or a micro-influencer? What’s their engagement ratio? Answering questions like this will help you come down with the list of your influencers and create a list of whom you want to work with.
