#1 Distribution fee factors

Your distribution fee is the cost to be featured on your social accounts or blogs. You should keep in mind that your price can vary based on many factors:

• Your Follower numbers:

The number of followers that you have on your account. This shouldn’t be considered as your main sell, but it is definitely an essential factor in calculating your influencer rates.

• Your Engagement rate :

The engagement rate is the percentage of followers who engage your posts.

To determine your engagement rate, you should divide the average number of likes and comments you get per post by your follower numbers, which will give you a percentage of your engagement rate.

Your engagement rate informs brands that they are making the right decision working with you.

• Your Name/skill/popularity

Businesses tend to work with an influencer who has a recognizable face or name. So if you are famous or you are known for a specific skill, you will get paid for that too.

• The quality of your content

You should become a pro at shooting, concepting and creating mini-campaigns for the brands you are working with.

Don’t overdo this, but try to create a high-quality content that will catch eyes.

• Demographics

This is when it matters to have a niche. If a brand is looking for someone who is active in a specific niche related to their business, they will pay more to someone on that niche to be their influencer.

#2 Talent fee factors

Your talent fee is how much it really cost you to create the content for the brands.

This number includes all the costs associated with the content and your hourly rate.

To find out the necessary budget, you should calculate the cost of:

• Your photography team
• The shooting location
• The props you will need to buy ( food, candles, accessories )
• The clothing you will need to buy.
