Reference: Influencer platform comparison analysis content

Tip: When listing, check 'recent view counts', 'save and share counts', and 'content tone and manner' along with 'follower count'!

Influencer seeding should target those with high expected value in terms of views and impact, even if their follower count is low. Selecting based on 'recent content views relative to followers' and 'saves relative to views', which are the most important metrics on Reels/TikTok currently, will greatly help improve overall performance.

Tip: If recent content views are less than half the follower count, we judge them as unsuitable for seeding targets.

  • Target alignment: Does it match the age/gender/interests we want?

  • Content quality: Photo, video quality and editing style

  • Recent activity: Whether posts/stories were uploaded within the last month

  • Brand compatibility: Naturalness of existing sponsored posts

  • Sponsorship oversaturation: Be cautious of accounts that only post sponsored content

When organizing researched influencers, it's good to fill in data with consistent criteria to speed up the selection process.

If using platforms like Spray, we recommend creating groups for management.
