How to screen influencer for Organic Posting campaigns

Deep dive into how to screen creators for an Organic Posting campaign

Overview

When choosing a creator for “Organic Posting” Campaigns brand affinity is still important, however, your main focus should be the creator’s social media statistics as well as those of their audience.

You can see a creator’s metrics for their social media inside their Insense profile and by checking their social media profiles.

Key metrics recommendations

Here are our recommendations for the key metrics that you will want to pay attention to:

	For Instagram Creators
Followers	The number of followers a creator has displays their ability to capture and engage an audience as well as maintain a community. We recommend hiring creators with at least 2000 followers.
Real Followers	We recommend ensuring the percentage of real followers in their audience is 65% or more.
Engagement rate	Based on the audience, we recommend an ER rate of: 4-8% for nano-creators (less than 110k followers), 2-4% for micro-creator (between 10k - 100k followers), and >1.5% for macro-creators (more than 100k followers).
Comments	Check if the comments on the creator’s posts come from real people, and look at how their audience reacts to branded content.
Followers vs following	Take a look at the followers-to-following ratio. We suggest a following that doesn't exceed 30% of the number of followers.
Reach	Total number of unique profiles that have seen the creator's Instagram posts or stories. We recommend checking both stories and posts.
Average reach of IG Stories	Nano-creators: 7-8% Micro-creators: 2-6% Macro-creators: >2%
Average reach of IG Posts	Nano-creators: 20-25% Micro-creators: 11-18% Macro-creators: >10%

	For TikTok Creators
Median views	This number will show approximately how many people will see your content on the creator's account. We recommend choosing creators with at least 1-5k median views.
Engagement rate	The average number of interactions a piece of content receives per follower. We recommend putting a filter of at least 6-8% of ER.
Comments	Check if the comments on the creator’s posts come from real people, and look at how their audience reacts to branded content.
Frequency of posting	Keep in mind that a good TikTok creator will be consistently posting at least a few times a week, and won’t disappear for months.
