In short, Influencer Marketing is the practice of identifying industry influencers and marketing to, through, and/or with them. More specifically, Social Media Influencer Marketing is the practice of identifying social media influencers within specific niches, establishing relationships with those influencers, and ultimately publishing branded social content to their audiences. This type of marketing/advertising can generate valuable “earned” (aka Word of Mouth) media and often produces much more desirable results then other more traditional media advertising channels. Social Influencer Networks and Platforms are websites that help facilitate Social Media Influencer Marketing, either directly or indirectly. Social Influencer Networks help connect advertisers looking to publish sponsored Social content to Social Influencers (publishers) looking to monetize their social audiences and work as a payment and communication intermediary between the two. This allows advertisers cut out much of the ground work typically involved with this type of marketing and simply select publishers (available in the network) according to their specifications and the Social Media Network/s they want their branded content to be published on (Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Blog, etc.). After branded content is published, most networks provide in depth analytics and reporting in-order to help measure the effectiveness and ROI of each campaign and provide other insights. Influencer Marketing Platforms are web applications that help marketers identify, establish, manage, and track relationships/campaigns with Social Influencers. Unlike Influencer Ad Networks that are typically priced on a per campaign basis and geared towards brands with large advertising budgets, most Influencer Marketing Platforms are priced on a monthly usage basis and typically provide a relatively more affordable and customizable Influencer Marketing solution.
