But as far as I am concern, the number of people you will reach or the Instagram engagement you will get is the most important factor to consider.

• Check the Quality of their followers

It goes without saying that you should be aligning your business with influencers who have “pull” with your target audience. Take time to look at the kind of people following the influencers account, this is because the kind of followers will determine the kind of result you will get, don’t be blinded by large followings or engagements, also look at the quality of people engaging the accounts.
