Frequently asked questions
How do I determine my influencer rate?
Start with your follower count × platform rate, then adjust for engagement, niche value, deliverable complexity, and any exclusivity or usage rights.
Should I charge more for exclusivity?
Yes, exclusivity (not working with competing brands) should add 30-50% to your base rate since it limits your earning potential.
What are usage rights and why do they cost more?
Usage rights allow brands to use your content in their own marketing. This should add 20-30% since they get additional value from your creation.
Do engagement rates affect brand deal pricing?
Absolutely. A creator with 5% engagement is worth 2-3x more than one with 1% engagement at the same follower count.
How do I negotiate brand deals?
Start with your calculated rate, be transparent about your metrics, highlight past results, and be willing to offer package deals for long-term partnerships.
