Question 1

How do I hire an influencer for my brand?

Accepted Answer

Hiring an influencer starts with defining your campaign goals and target audience. On Socialji, you browse our vetted marketplace of creators and filter by niche, follower count, engagement rate, and platform. When you find a match, you create a campaign, message the creator directly to agree on the deliverables, and fund the budget into secure escrow. The creator is paid once you approve their work.

Question 2

What does it cost to hire influencers?

Accepted Answer

Influencer pricing varies based on follower count, engagement rate, content type, and platform. Micro-influencers (10K-50K followers) typically charge $100-$500 per post. Mid-tier influencers (50K-500K) range from $500-$5,000. Macro-influencers and celebrities command $5,000 to $100,000+ per campaign. Our platform provides transparent pricing upfront so you can plan your budget before committing.

Question 3

How do you vet influencers on your platform?

Accepted Answer

Every creator profile on Socialji is reviewed and approved by our team before it appears in the marketplace. We check that profiles are complete and legitimate, and you can review audience demographics and engagement data, pulled from our creator data provider, on each profile. This helps protect your brand and ensures you're browsing real, verified creators.

Question 4

What platforms do your influencers cover?

Accepted Answer

Our creator network spans all major social platforms: Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and Twitch. Many influencers in our marketplace are active across multiple platforms, allowing brands to run integrated campaigns. You can filter and search for creators based on where your target audience spends their time.

Question 5

How long does an influencer campaign take?

Accepted Answer

Timeline depends on campaign complexity and the creators you work with. Because Socialji is self-service, you can discover creators, message them, and agree on a deliverable as quickly as both sides are ready. A single sponsored post can go live within a week of agreeing terms, while larger multi-creator campaigns naturally take longer to plan and roll out.

Question 6

Do I own the content influencers create?

Accepted Answer

Content rights depend on the agreement you reach with the creator. You discuss and agree usage terms directly through in-platform messaging when you set up the deal — for example, whether you can repurpose content organically or use it in paid media. We recommend putting the agreed terms in writing in your messages so both sides are clear on what you can do with the content.

Question 7

How do you measure influencer campaign success?

Accepted Answer

On Socialji you create a campaign, review creator applications, and track each creator's deliverable status from submission through approval in your dashboard. Before reaching out, you can also review audience demographics and engagement data on each creator profile, pulled from our creator data provider, to choose creators who fit your goals.

Question 8

What if an influencer doesn't deliver?

Accepted Answer

Your campaign budget is held in secure escrow and the creator is only paid once you approve their deliverable. If the work is never delivered, the funds are returned to you, so you never pay for work you didn't get. You can also message the creator directly through the platform to follow up on deliverables and timelines.

Question 9

How do creators get discovered by brands on Socialji?

Accepted Answer

As a creator, you build a profile that highlights your niche, audience demographics, engagement rate, and best content. Brands search and filter our marketplace to find creators for their campaigns, and you can apply to campaigns that fit you. Keeping your profile complete, your stats up to date, and your portfolio fresh makes you more likely to land paid brand deals.

Question 10

Do I need a large following to join as a creator?

Accepted Answer

No. Brands hire creators of all sizes, and micro-influencers (10K-50K followers) often deliver the highest engagement and best value, so they're in strong demand. What matters most is an authentic, engaged audience and quality content in a clear niche. Nano and micro creators are welcome to join our marketplace alongside larger accounts.

Question 11

How do creator payouts work and when do I get paid?

Accepted Answer

When a brand books you, the campaign budget is funded into secure escrow upfront, so the money is set aside before you start. Once you submit your deliverables and the brand approves them, your payout is released. This protects you from chasing late payments and guarantees that funds are available for every campaign you accept.

Question 12

Is it free for creators to join Socialji?

Accepted Answer

Yes, creators can sign up and build a profile for free. There's no cost to join the marketplace, get discovered, or apply to campaigns. We take a transparent platform fee on completed bookings rather than charging creators upfront, so you only ever pay when you're getting paid for a brand deal.
