In the competitive world of influencer marketing, knowing how to price your services effectively can make all the difference. Whether you're an emerging creator or an established influencer, understanding the pricing landscape is crucial to maximize your earnings. In this article, we explain several pricing trends for creators, and provide pricing benchmarks for you as references.
General Pricing Trends
Based on our research in Germany, the UK, Sweden, the Netherlands, and Norway, there're several general trends of the creator rates. Typically, creators charge between 0.01 kr to 0.1 kr per follower for an Instagram post. This means if you have 100,000 followers, you could charge anywhere from 1,000 kr to 10,000 kr per post. Several other factors can also influence your specific rate within this range:
Complexity of Production: High-quality content that requires more effort and resources will justify higher fees.
Time Investment: Content that takes more time to create should be priced accordingly.
Additional Assistance: If you need to hire a photographer or video editor, these costs should be factored into your price.
Personal Pricing Expectations: Your perceived value and the demand for your content also play a significant role in setting your rates.
Story vs. Feed Posts
When it comes to Instagram, the type of content you create also affects your pricing:
Instagram Feed Posts: These are typically priced higher due to their permanent nature and visibility on your profile.
Instagram Stories: Stories usually cost about 50% to 70% of a standard feed post. Despite being temporary, stories can offer high engagement rates and are great for time-sensitive promotions.
Negotiating Prices
When setting your prices or negotiating with brands, it's helpful to calculate the cost per follower. Compare this rate with estimates from platforms like Hypeauditor and Collabstr to ensure your prices are competitive. Here's how you can use these tools:
Hypeauditor: This platform provides price estimates for posts and stories, considering factors like country, followers, and engagement rate.
Collabstr: On Collabstr, influencers list their prices for different content formats, offering insights into what other creators are charging.
Methods
To gather these insights, we analyzed data from several reputable influencer marketing platforms, focusing on outdoor and lifestyle niches. Our key sources include:
Influencer Marketing Hub: Their rate calculator, which considers category, followers, and average likes per post.
Hypeauditor: Provides price estimates using a machine learning model trained on market values.
Collabstr: Lists expected prices for various content formats directly from influencers.
