Influencer marketing is built for big budgets

What changes

Small accounts in your niche answer their own messages.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find micro influencers for free?

The three methods above cost nothing. On Partn, your page is free, and you can propose a partnership at zero if the account accepts free requests. Two accounts can also feature each other.

How much do you pay a micro influencer?

It depends on size, niche and format: rates by account size. On Partn, you propose the price.

How do I find local micro influencers?

The classic way to find local micro influencers is free but slow: search by city and place on Instagram and TikTok, check where their audience lives, start with your own customers. With Partn, Discover shows you the accounts that complement your niche - no digging hashtag by hashtag. You offer them a partnership in seconds.

Do I need an influencer marketing agency?

Not for a small brand. An agency pays off for a national campaign.

Can I see follower counts?

No, Partn doesn't show follower counts. You choose from the account's page, then you see the clicks it brought you.
