Italian cuisine, English philology, German cars, Spanish football, Polish heart. One of those lucky people who turned a hobby into a job.
In the era of social media, influencer marketing is one of the most popular and powerful strategies for approaching new potential clients. Researches show that companies generate 6,50$ in revenue for each 1$ invested in influencer marketing on average. Influencers are that effective because their relationship with followers is based on the most valuable currency of our time – trust.
But if you want to reach such impressive ROI you need to put some effort into the whole process: from finding the proper influencer, evaluating the ideas for cooperation, measuring the effectiveness of the campaign to the summary of the collaboration.
I know, it may sound quite tricky but there are some beneficial tools to manage this process, and in this text, I’d like to tell you about them. The list contains two types of tools:
In the first five positions are tools for searching, reaching out influencers, and measuring the effects of campaigns.
Last two positions are for tools which will help you verify if an influencer is influential or not, spot the fake influencers, verify audience quality, engagement rate, etc.
Tools I’ll talk about:
Buzzweb
Brand24
Surprising, isn’t it? ???? Brand24 is an all-in-one media monitoring tool which is helpful at each step of cooperation with influencers. The tool collects all publicly available mentions about your chosen keywords and offers a very comprehensive data analysis section.
If media monitoring sounds enigmatic for you, here is a quick explanation:
So, first things first. To find an influencer using this media monitoring tool we need to set up a project with the keywords which we want to monitor. We recommend you to choose keywords like
Your industry
Your company name.
When your project is ready, go to the Analysis tab and find the “Influence of social media authors” section. It’s a list of the most popular authors of mentions related to your keywords so, basically, authors with the most significant influence on your industry.
The sections show two metrics:
Influence – estimated number of views generated by the selected author. It’s based on the number of followers / subscribers / friends and shows how many of them on average see your posts. 
Voice share – what part of the discussion was generated by the selected author.
Another useful feature which can make our job more comfortable is the Influencer score.
This feature allows us to filter mentions by the number of author’s followers. The principle is simple – the more followers, the higher the influencer score.
Price: Brand24 starts at 49$ per month and offers a free 14-day trial. h

FameBit
FameBit is a fascinating digital marketing tool for influencer marketing because it focuses on connecting brands with the right content creators (mostly on YouTube) based on their content requirements.
How do FameBit works?
The first step is creating the campaign. Select which platforms you want to promote your content on, what types of content you are interested in (product reviews, tutorials, etc.) and set your budget.
Your campaign draft will be visible on the platform so content creators will be able to see your requirements and apply to work with you by sending proposals.
Proposals should contain the type of content they would like to create for you, platforms on which they could publish it and their fee.
Next step is to select the creators. Every proposal includes content examples, information about the creator’s audience (demography and geolocation). This is the part when you need to examine proposals and choose the best match for your brand.
If you decide to cooperate, the creator will send you content for your approval. Once you approve it, the creator will publish it and share the content with his / her followers.
Price: The tool is for free but they charge a 10% fee to brands on top of what they pay to creators. And they charge a 10% fee to creators, deducted from their earnings.
SocialBlade
This digital marketing tool gives you access to its public database, which can provide you with global analytics for any content creator, influencer, blogger, etc. Among total 55 million of accounts we can find:
29,6M YouTube creators
Channel type based on creators ten most recent public uploads
Date of account creation.
The tool also shows you graphs with the progress of each creator in terms of total views and subs / number of followers etc.
It’s a handy tool if we want to verify an influencer. Unfortunately, nowadays there are a lot of fake influencers, who built their fanbase by unfair practices like buying followers, comments, subscribers, etc. Spotting fake influencer may save you a lot of money and isn’t time-consuming, so it’s worth doing.

These influencer marketing tools I’ve listed above can save your time and effort in the whole process, from finding the proper influencers, through reaching out to them, to analyzing the effects of the campaign.
