3. Influencer Rate Calculator
This resource is the answer to one of the hottest FAQs: how much should you pay an Instagram influencer?
All you need to do is plug in the amount of likes and comments from the influencer’s last 15 Instagram posts. The calculator will automatically generate a number for Recent Average Engagements (RAE), which will then be multiplied by the average cost per engagement.
Disclaimer: Keep in mind that this rate is just an estimate. Prices may vary based on many factors, such as industry, collaboration terms, and more.

A strong influencer brief is essential to the success of your influencer marketing campaign. With a good brief, influencers have access to clear guidelines and can create content that aligns perfectly with your brand’s goals.
