How to Find Overseas influencer KOL on TikTok

Over the years, TikTok has become the social platform of choice for millennials. If they are part of your target audience, then TikTok should be an important part of your marketing strategy. However, as the number of TikTok users and weblebrities has grown by leaps and bounds, it has become increasingly difficult for brands to find a target audience and the right weblebrity to work with. While collaborating with super influencer on TikTok still works, it is often easier to produce desirable marketing results with overseas waifs or KOCs with smaller fan bases to create a real connection with a pendant audience as the price tag continues to climb. What is a local online celebrity KOL? Overseas local online celebrity KOLs are celebrity bloggers located near the actual markets that brands and products target. They usually have more than 10,000 precise as well as highly engaged followers in the same area. They tend to post more targeted content, thus increasing engagement. Overseas local influencer marketing with scale is perfect for small businesses looking to attract new customers or connect with existing customers. How to find local influential online celebrity KOLs overseas? Use these tips provided by IZEA to find influential bloggers on TikTok for your brand: 1. TikTok Search When trying to find micro-niche on TikTok, searching within the official app is certainly effective and accurate. After logging into your account, click on the search bar in the upper right corner. Type in the name of a celebrity or category, then your location, and then select the "Users" option. Scroll through the list of accounts and even filter by criteria to narrow down your search to get a list of the webmasters you want to find. 2. For You page recommendations If your brand account is active and regularly interacts with content in your niche or created from nearby locations, then the For You page may be helpful. This page displays content and accounts that are relevant to your interests, segments and locations. 3. Hashtags Hashtags are a great way to find webloggers in your location and niche. You can enter a hashtag in the search bar and scroll through the list of content, or go to the "Hashtags" option and search for that hashtag and other similar hashtags. Including #ad will show you sponsored content that the creator has already posted. When searching for a hashtag in a segment, the more specific the better. Broader hashtags can provide insight into overall content trends, but when searching for online celebrities and bloggers (especially local KOLs), differentiation may give you the desired results. 4. 4. Keywords As with subject tags, targeted keywords can be used to find influential webloggers in your target location and segment. The two results will be very similar, but the keyword search results may contain content not found in the subject tag and vice versa. 5....

Content Ideas for Planning Holiday Marketing with Instagram influencer

For Instagram creators, this is the perfect time to promote their favorite products, services and sales to help inspire their followers to shop. For brands it's also a time for you to know which influencer KOLs your audience will love for holiday marketing and how to create content for Instagram post ideas. Below IZEA summarizes some of the most popular post topics from the past for brand marketers to consider. First, make sure you've put together a holiday content calendar that works for you. This will help you plan your content in an organized manner without feeling overwhelmed with what to post and when. The next step is to target content topics that are relevant to your products and brand. It's important to work with influencer content for holiday tangents. Take a look at what kind of content hashtags are most popular for holidays abroad! Holiday Gift List Recommendations An easy way to collaborate with influencer to share holiday content on Instagram is to use your existing KOL connections. Many brands are promoting amazing direct deals this slot, and you can get them to share links to those purchases through sponsored posts or membership codes. But on the topic of working with influencer, it's even better to speak from the influencer blogger's perspective and include your brand or product in the best gift list. This can be better accepted and reached by consumers who want to buy. Showcase favorite holiday outfits If you are a fashion brand or an online celebrity in a related field, now is the time to share your favorite holiday outfit ideas with your followers and audience. Content about holiday outfits is always one of the most searched types of content in this marketing slot. For example, through online celebrities sharing some of their favorite brands with matching outfits together for holiday events (e.g. parties, dinners, shopping trips, etc.). Usually fashion and beauty brands will join the slot to cleverly collaborate deeply with netizen bloggers, not only sharing fashion trends for holiday wear, but also sponsoring some super netizen's year-end events to influence every audience searching for holiday-themed content. Holiday Staging and Space Decor With several year-end heavy holidays coming up for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's, content on how to decorate a room, inspiration for staging, and more is very popular. Regardless of your brand's style, the online fans you work with want to see how they recreate their spaces and decorate their homes with unexpected creative touches. During the holiday season, many home brands, small appliances, etc. book their influencer slots in advance. Plan ahead with creative content, create content from a home decorating content perspective, gift and DIY perspective, and wait for a surge in search volume to gain free natural exposure and traffic, which can be twice the effort. Promotion and goodies sharing As a brand don't miss this best slot for influencer sharing sales. Many KOLs in the goodies sharing category know that the two months at the end of the year are the best sales period, and will share attractive cheap goodies, promotional discounts, and trial experiences according to different attributes and needs of the holidays. Holiday season is not only the busiest time for netizens, but also the best marketing window for brands to clear their sales at the end of the year. Choosing the most suitable category to plant the influencer can be very effective. The Instagram snap feature provides a less curated and more trustworthy form of content for people, allowing audiences to learn how to use the product through a influencer, or a influencer KOL can tell them why you should buy it for yourself (or someone else) this holiday season. A great example of this is lifestyle blogger Krista Horton, who has shared a lot of promotional product seeding content and made amazing sales through Instagram Story. Develop a Year in Review Showcases highlights of your best content throughout the year. It brings a new perspective to your best content and can attract more followers. It can be your popular photos forming a rotating post or some clips of your Reels from the year. for online celebrity bloggers, this type of content is what fans look forward to at the end of the year, and as such a content format becomes more and more popular, implanting this type of content has become a creative point for some smart brands when marketing with online celebrity bloggers at the end of the year.

IZEA MARKETING CLASS: HOW TO PLAN AND PROMOTE A BRAND AMBASSADOR CAMPAIGN

As a marketer for a brand, do you often think about the goals and expectations for brand ambassador campaigns? After hiring brand ambassadors, how can you engage them in official brand topic challenges and campaigns? to increase brand awareness and drive traffic. If you are looking for fresh, creative ideas, read the strategies proposed by IZEA below, and you can ask your online celebrity bloggers to refer to the following activities - and check out our brand ambassador campaign examples. 1. Try a branded hashtag challenge A branded hashtag challenge can help you gain more natural exposure across your social media channels. The key to planning is to create a unique, engaging hashtag with your team and invite brand ambassadors to participate. As an example, IZEA helped restaurant chain Chipotole invite YouTube sensation David Dobrik to participate in Chipotle's #ChipotleLidFlip challenge with his 26.2 million followers to encourage consumers to experience a quick ordering service by ordering takeout from the restaurant. It was a fun, non-forced sales approach to engage customers and naturally drive sales results. 2. Offer discount sharing codes to brand ambassadors Everyone on social media loves to get more valuable promotional exclusive discounts from them. This makes it a mainstream marketing approach for brand ambassadors to share a unique discount code with their social media followers. If the creators in your brand ambassador program are part of your affiliate network marketing program, they will earn a commission on every sale generated within the campaign. This type of CPS partnership is a win-win for everyone. Jenni Farley, better known as "JWoww" to her fans on the Jersey Shore, is a health and fitness maven who shared a discount code for her favorite nutritional shake brand with her fans, generating huge sales for the brand in a short period of time. 3. Ask brand ambassadors to share official brand posts When online celebrities share your brand's latest blog posts, content or products on their social media accounts, they showcase your brand to their community of fans. Sharing a post or two is easy for brand ambassadors, making it an effortless but highly rewarding form of collaboration. In addition, consistent support and interaction pages from online KOLs for your brand are a great way to increase awareness. For example, this activity can be done by reposting the brand's official Instagram snap, tweet or video on Instagram Reels, which will not only gain a lot of exposure, but also attract more new followers to the brand's official account. 4. Let brand ambassadors showcase your latest products Send your latest products to ambassadors and let them share pictures, write reviews or take videos of them in use.

BREAKING DOWN THE FTC'S NEW FTC GUIDANCE ON influencer MARKETING

Today, brands and online celebrities are working more closely together than ever before. According to Insider Intelligence, influencer marketing is a $5 billion industry. While the relationship between influencer and brands has always been a win-win, the FTC's guiding policies for influencer marketing are important for both brands and bloggers themselves to be aware of compliance. FTC (Federal Trade Commission) The Federal Trade Commission is an independent U.S. government agency established in 1914. Its main mission is to promote consumer protection and eliminate anti-competitive business practices such as forced monopolies. In response to online marketing on social media, the FTC has also worked in recent years to regulate and limit the incidence of deceptive advertising. As a result, the FTC requires influential celebrities to publicly announce their partnerships with brands. For example, Kim Kardashian was fined $1.26 million for failing to disclose information about a brand partnership to her Instagram followers that resulted in her being paid for endorsing and promoting a cryptocurrency, EMAX. The FTC's influencer marketing guidelines and disclosure rules can be a bit confusing and difficult to understand. To provide assistance with legal support, IZEA has distilled some highlights and help to your understanding of the proposed guidance. Below is a list of when, how and where you need to disclose a influencer-brand relationship, as well as some additional tips and suggestions. The FTC's Guide to Marketing to Online Celebrities Under what circumstances must an online celebrity blogger disclose his or her relationship with a brand? According to the FTC's Guidance for Social Media influencer Creators101, if a influencer blogger has any financial, personal, employment or family relationship with a brand, that connection must be disclosed and made public to followers. influencer bloggers must also inform their followers if the brand does any of the following: The brand offers a free product to the influencer KOL. The brand pays the influencer creator to be an endorser of the product. The brand offers any valuable trade-in or benefit to the influencer blogger, such as an invitation to an event or an early opportunity to sell the product. How do you make compliant disclosures? The FTC says that as an online celebrity blogger, you need to disclose your relationship with a brand in a "can't miss" manner. Here are some do's and don'ts, according to the FTC's social media guidelines: DO Three tips on what to do: Use words that are easy for followers to understand.

IZEA MARKETING CLASS:DOES influencer MARKETING REALLY WORK?

If you're considering using influencer marketing to boost exposure and product sales - either as a content creator or a brand that works with them - you've probably heard that it can be a very effective marketing tool. But does influencer marketing really work? Whether as a creator or a brand looking for a more accurate understanding of current trends in influencer KOLs and consumer audiences, some of the questions that go over and over in the mind of everyone entering the industry are, for example, can you make money from content if you are not a famous head influencer personality, superstar or professional influential expert? How many people trust influencer's product recommendations in the current consumer buying trend? To answer the above questions, let's take a look at some of the latest influencer marketing statistics from IZEA, and I believe you will naturally have the answers. 52% of influencer Creators Earn Significant Income from Part-Time Work In a recent Linktree survey of influencer creators, more than half of those earning between $50,000 and $100,000 a year said they spend less than 10 hours a week on content creation. That's considered a pretty good income for a part-time blogger. In the same survey, nearly half (48%) of those earning between $100,000 and $500,000 per year spend more than 10 hours per week on content creation. It's safe to say that creators' income is determined by the quality of their content, their niche, and how they market it. But in general, there is plenty of evidence that online marketing pays enough for many content creators to cover their day-to-day expenses and earn a relatively decent income. Content creators can generate more revenue from brand partnerships If you represent a brand that is researching potential partnerships with content creators, don't overlook niche KOLs. weblebrities that cater to specific segments actually generate 14% of their revenue from marketing compared to broad content creators (compared to 9% for pan-content creators). From a brand perspective, it's important to understand that more companies are working with tail-end and small- to medium-sized weblebrities rather than those with big-name celebrity weblebrities. Research shows that by 2024, 14% of brands' influencer marketing budgets will be spent on these influencer segments. 36% of consumers say the only way they try new products is to search for endorsements from influential weblebrities Everyone follows influential bloggers. In fact, research shows that 92% of consumers have a list of content creators they follow. When influencers speak, their audience listens and trusts. Currently, 36% of consumers are discovering and trying new products through online marketing alone. With the rise of these content endorsements, experts believe this trend will continue and increase consumer and trust. When skincare brand Olay launched the 28-Day Challenge, it partnered with social media celebrities, including Jennifer Oni, who used the company's products and documented their experiences throughout the process. Not only did the brand see a 20% increase in engagement, but it also saw a 22% increase in monthly Google searches throughout the month. Most ad campaigns deliver a high return on your investment. Statistically, well-executed and representative online marketing campaigns can generate over 6.50 per $1 spent...
