How Much Does Influencer Marketing Cost in 2023?
By Dr. Ravi Singh
Influencer marketing is my passion! I love connecting with amazing creators and brands, and seeing the magic happen. But I know that one of the biggest challenges in this field is figuring out how much to pay or charge for influencer campaigns. That's why I founded Social Payme Technologies Inc., a platform that helps you find the best rates and deals for influencer marketing in 2023.
Influencer marketing is one of the most effective ways to reach your target audience, build trust, and drive conversions.
But how much does it cost to work with influencers in 2023?
And how do you choose the right influencers for your brand and budget?
The answer is not simple, because the cost of influencer marketing depends on many factors, such as the social media platform, the influencer type, the content format, the campaign duration, and the campaign goals. There is no one-size-fits-all formula for influencer pricing.
In this LinkedIn post, we will share some insights from a recent review by the research by Meltwater , a leading media intelligence platform, that breaks down the influencer marketing costs and rates by channel and influencer type. We will also give you some tips on how to select and allocate resources to influencers based on your goals and strategy.
Influencer Marketing Costs by Channel
The cost of influencer marketing varies depending on the social media platform you choose. Each platform has its own features, audience, and content formats that influence the influencer pricing. Here are some average influencer rates by channel, according to Meltwater:
??Instagram: Instagram is the most popular platform for influencer marketing, with over 90% of users following at least one brand. The cost of an Instagram post ranges from $65 (nano-influencers) to $2,738 (celebrity influencers). A video on Instagram ranges from $111 to $4,678 on average, depending on the influencer's audience size. For Instagram Stories, expect to pay anywhere between $53 to $1,205.
"It's not just about choosing the right influencer it's about choosing the right amount to pay them. If you pay too much it works against you. If you pay to little it will not work for you. You must know what the industry standard is! " - Dr.
??YouTube: YouTube is the second most popular platform for influencer marketing, with over 2 billion monthly active users. The cost of a YouTube video ranges from $315 (nano-influencers) to $12,000 (celebrity influencers). The cost of a YouTube story ranges from $63 to $2,400.
??TikTok: TikTok is the fastest-growing platform for influencer marketing, with over 1 billion monthly active users. The cost of a TikTok video ranges from $5 (nano-influencers) to $2,500 (mega-influencers). The cost of a TikTok live stream ranges from $10 to $5,000.
??Facebook: Facebook is the largest social media platform in the world, with over 2.8 billion monthly active users. The cost of a Facebook post ranges from $25 (nano-influencers) to $1,000 (celebrity influencers). The cost of a Facebook video ranges from $50 to $2,000. The cost of a Facebook live stream ranges from $75 to $3,000.
??Snapchat: Snapchat is a popular platform for influencer marketing among younger audiences, with over 265 million daily active users. The cost of a Snapchat post ranges from $10 (nano-influencers) to $400 (celebrity influencers). The cost of a Snapchat story ranges from $20 to $800.
??Twitter: Twitter is a platform for influencer marketing that focuses on real-time conversations and trends, with over 330 million monthly active users. The cost of a Twitter post ranges from $2 (nano-influencers) to $80 (celebrity influencers). The cost of a Twitter video ranges from $4 to $160.
Influencer Marketing Costs by Influencer Type
The cost of influencer marketing also depends on the type and size of the influencer you work with. Influencers are typically categorized into four tiers based on their number of followers:
??Nano-influencers: Nano-influencers have less than 10,000 followers. They have high engagement rates and niche audiences. They are ideal for local or hyper-targeted campaigns. They charge the lowest rates among all influencers.
??Micro-influencers: Micro-influencers have between 10,000 and 50,000 followers. They have high engagement rates and loyal audiences. They are ideal for niche or specialized campaigns. They charge moderate rates among all influencers.
??Macro-influencers: Macro-influencers have between 50,000 and 500,000 followers. They have lower engagement rates but wider reach and influence. They are ideal for mass-market or awareness campaigns. They charge high rates among all influencers.

Choosing the Right Influencers for Your Strategy
When, I did my research for my PhD there were key variables that really mattered. The cost of influencer marketing is not the only factor you should consider when choosing influencers for your strategy. You should also look at other variables such as:
??Relevance: The influencer should be relevant to your brand, product, and industry. Their content and audience should match your target market and buyer persona.
Every variable has an equal value. No variable is greater importance than the other. But, to ignore them would be unwise as they will determine how to get the right Return on Investment." Dr. Ravi
??Engagement: The influencer should have high engagement rates with their followers. Their content should generate likes, comments, shares, views, and clicks.
??Authenticity: The influencer should be authentic and trustworthy. Their content should be original and honest. They should only promote products and services that they genuinely use and love.
??Creativity: The influencer should be creative and innovative. Their content should be unique and captivating. They should be able to showcase your brand and product in a compelling way.
CONCLUSION:
Influencer marketing is a powerful way to reach your target audience, build trust, and drive conversions. But how much does it cost to work with influencers in 2023? The answer depends on the channel and influencer type you choose, as well as your goals and strategy.
As a social media expert and a doctor of social media and data science, I have been fascinated by the power of influencers in shaping consumer behavior. I have worked with over 9 heads of state and helped them leverage influencer marketing to reach their target audiences. I have also coached brands, companies, celebrities, and leaders on digital strategy and social media voice. I believe that influencer marketing is not a fad but a fundamental shift in how consumers make decisions in the digital age.
