How to find the right influencers

Search by niche and platform

Filter creators by category (beauty, fitness, food, tech, fashion), platform (Instagram, YouTube, TikTok), and audience size. Find niche influencers that actually match your product category instead of generic mass-reach accounts.

Vet engagement and audience quality

Check engagement rate, comment sentiment, and audience demographics before reaching out. Elev8or surfaces engagement data so you can spot authentic creators and skip inflated follower counts.

Brief and manage in one place

Send structured campaign briefs, review content drafts, approve deliverables, and handle creator payouts without switching between tools or managing email threads.

Measure what converts

Track performance per creator and per campaign. Reallocate budget toward the influencers driving real results and build long-term creator relationships based on data.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find influencers for my brand?

Start by defining your niche, target audience, and budget. Then use a creator discovery platform like Elev8or to filter by category, platform, audience demographics, and engagement rate. Prioritize authentic fit over follower count. Elev8or lets you browse thousands of verified creators and reach out directly from the platform.

How much does it cost to hire influencers?

Nano influencers (1k-10k followers) typically charge $10-$100 per post. Micro influencers (10k-100k) range from $100-$1,000. Mid-tier (100k-500k) range from $1,000-$5,000. Macro and celebrity tiers go higher. UGC-only creators often charge per video asset rather than per post. Elev8or is free to start so you can source creators before committing to spend.

What is the difference between finding influencers and hiring UGC creators?

Influencers publish content to their own audience for reach and awareness. UGC creators produce branded content for you to use in your paid ads and organic channels. Many brands need both. Elev8or covers influencer campaigns and UGC sourcing in the same workspace.

How do I find Instagram influencers for my brand?

Filter by platform, niche, and audience location in a creator marketplace. Check engagement rate (aim for 3-6% on Instagram), audience authenticity, and content style. Elev8or has Instagram creators across beauty, fashion, food, fitness, travel, and more.

Can I find influencers for free?

Yes. Elev8or is free to start. You can search and browse creators, review profiles, and send briefs without an upfront subscription. Paid plans unlock advanced filters, analytics, and bulk outreach.

What should I look for when hiring influencers?

Authentic content style that fits your brand, genuine audience engagement (comments not just likes), audience demographics matching your target customer, past brand collaborations, and responsiveness. Avoid accounts with inflated follower counts and low engagement ratios.
