How Influencer Pricing Works
Size Isn't Everything
Nano and micro-creators (1K–50K followers) often deliver better ROI than mega-influencers. Higher engagement rates mean your message actually lands — and the cost per impression is a fraction of celebrity pricing.
Know What You're Buying
A standard sponsored post rate covers organic reach only. Usage rights (running the content as paid ads) adds 30–50%. Exclusivity — where the creator can't work with competitors — adds another 25–50% depending on duration.
Ready to Scale?
Knowing the rate is one thing — finding, vetting, briefing, and managing the right creators at scale is another. That's what we do at Akari.
