It’s 2021, and influencer marketing is stronger than ever. Every day more brands are relying on influencers to promote their products. Why? Because the audience sees influencers as normal people they can trust, some influencers live ordinary lives, such as many of us do, and if something works for them, it would mean that it works for everyone.

When you compare, 38% of people trust branded social media content, and on the other hand, 61% of people trust influencers’ recommendations. Take into consideration that influencers do not promote just a product or service; they promote a lifestyle.

According to Shopify, “The influencer marketing industry is worth $13.8 billion,” meaning that this technique is not only a way of doing marketing, but it is also a business that is growing more each day, and you -brand or influencer- should take advantage of it.

When you are working with influencer marketing campaigns, you need to be able to identify the influencers that your targeted audience follows, or if you are an influencer, you should figure out which are the brands that could work for you and stand for the same values as you do.

That’s why, over the last couple of years, many influencer platforms have arrived to make the job easier both for the brand and the influencer. Those platforms can help you figure out which campaigns to participate in, raise brand awareness, generate website traffic, and even see the positive impacts for both parties.

Influencer marketing is a technique that benefits both parties when you know how to use it right. That’s why today at Dr. Rissy’s Writing and Marketing, we will be sharing with you our top influencer platforms to use. Over the past year, we have tried with more than thirty different influencer websites, and we want to recommend the ones that have worked for us.
