“The industry is ever evolving, especially the marketing side. Marketing through influencers is not a new concept; since the start influential people (actors, sportsmen, politicians, celebrities etc) have been used by brands to help them sell more. It has just gone digital now, more so it has gone to social media. Barely do we see brands spending a lot on billboards or even TV ads. They can get much more ROI through social media marketing; Celeb Backed makes sure that is easily possible with as few as 5 clicks.”
Neha has been working for renowned brands as a social media manager. She brings in a lot of in-depth sights and technical knowledge to the business.
“Everyone thinks that they can manage social media accounts. That is true, everyone can – but not properly. It is not about whether or not you can manage it, it is about HOW you can manage it effectively. Brands can make a fortune through social media (specially Instagram), and brands can lose fortunes too. Managing social media accounts for a digital marketing (Affiliate marketing) agency is challenging, yet interesting. I am glad to have great support from people in my department already.’

Quality is number one preference for all stakeholders now. As a beauty celebrity myself, I love products that make me feel confident and which I can relate to. My followers buy products that I use/recommend because they trust me. Trust comes with a lot of responsibility.”

Before deciding which celebrity will be the right fit for your brand, it is highly recommended that you browse the profiles, including the influencer´s experience, style of posts, creativity and followers before making a final choice. Try to make sure that the style of posting of a particular celebrity aligns well with the kind of image your brand intends to portray to the audience. Browse through an Instagram influencer’s previous posts to get an idea of the kind of posts their followers are accustomed to.
Another point to note is that influencers who have a smaller ratio of sponsored posts to total posts are generally seen as more credible and trustworthy among their audience. Those influencers that engage their followers with something like a personal story are far more likely to actually make a follower buy the product than an celebrity who just does a generic product review.
Micro-influencers are an excellent option for targeting a following base that is highly engaged with the influencers they follow. A study by Markerly revealed that influencers with fewer than 1,000 followers have a like rate of around 8%, while those with 1,000 followers to 10,000 followers have a like rate of about 4%.
If your brand wants to reach out to a larger audience, choose an celebrity with a following of more than 10,000. An upfront payment of $0.01 per USA follower will have to be made to the celebrity in this case once they accept the collaboration.
The homepage of your Dashboard (for both influencers and brands will display graphical representations of your post reach and reach per dollar.
