Micro-influencer

What is a Micro-influencer?

A micro-influencer is a social media user with a smaller but highly engaged audience, typically ranging from 1,000 to 100,000 followers. Unlike macro-influencers or celebrities, micro-influencers often have a niche following and build trust through authentic content and genuine connections with their audience. They are usually more affordable to collaborate with for brands than larger influencers, yet still offer significant reach and engagement within their specific community. Examples include fitness enthusiasts with a focused audience, beauty bloggers specializing in a particular skincare routine, or tech reviewers dedicated to specific devices.
