What this means
Sponsored-post fees scale with audience size and quality. A common benchmark is a rate per 1,000 followers (nano ≈ $5, micro ≈ $10, mid ≈ $20, macro ≈ $30), with a strong engagement rate adding a premium on top — because brands pay for reach that actually converts. The result is an estimate, not a contract: niche, video format and exclusivity all shift real rates.
Recommendations
- Lead with engagement rate in negotiations — a 5% micro-influencer beats a 1% macro by engagement per dollar.
- Bundle deliverables (story + post + usage rights) at an incremental cost rather than one flat price.
- Adjust for your niche — beauty and finance command premiums over general lifestyle.
Watch out
- Published rates vary enormously; treat the number as a starting negotiation anchor.
- Engagement bought with giveaways or pods doesn't transfer value the way organic ER does.
