Micro-Influencer
A social media creator with 10,000-100,000 followers who typically has higher engagement than larger influencers.
Why It Matters
Micro-influencers deliver 60% higher engagement rates and 6.7x more cost-effective conversions than macro-influencers.
How It Works
Micro-influencers have built trust within a specific niche community. Their smaller but highly engaged audiences treat recommendations more like advice from a friend than a celebrity endorsement, driving higher conversion rates.
Real-World Example
A vegan snack brand partners with 20 micro-influencers in the plant-based food niche and sees 3x the conversion rate of one celebrity post.
Common Mistakes
Dismissing micro-influencers for their smaller audience size
Not vetting engagement authenticity for fake followers
