31 of the Best Influencer Marketing Platforms for 2020

Influencer marketing

Is influencer marketing part of your 2020 strategy?

Influencer marketing has become the most preferred tactic for brands to connect with their target audiences.

But with multiple brands targeting the same audience, how can you reach that audience more effectively than others?

It is quite challenging to reach that audience more effectively than others. It is a lot of hard work to strategize, create, launch, monitor, and optimize your campaigns to drive the best results.

Many brands and marketers use influencer marketing platforms and tools to amplify their campaigns. And you should too.

You can leverage these platforms to find the right influencers for your brand, monitor campaigns, and measure results.

Influencer marketing can’t be fully automated according to 96% of marketers. But leveraging tools can help you execute your influencer campaigns more efficiently.

What is an Influencer Marketing Platform?

When you’re doing influencer marketing, it helps to have a software solution that can help you execute and manage your campaigns better. These solutions are influencer marketing platforms. They can help you with a wide range of activities from influencer discovery to tracking the progress of your campaigns.

But why should you use influencer marketing platforms?

Let’s take a look at their benefits.

Benefits of Using an Influencer Marketing Platform

The biggest benefit of using influencer marketing platforms is that they can help you save time by minimizing your effort. You don’t need to spend hours on social media scouting for influencers. Instead, the platforms will provide a list of influencers and also present their statistics to you.

What’s more?

Many of these platforms can help you set up and manage your campaigns with ease. You can also use them to track the progress of your campaigns and optimize them accordingly. Many platforms also give you the ability to generate detailed reports about the campaigns.

What Should You Look for in an Influencer Marketing Platform?

One of the biggest challenges that brands face is that of finding reliable influencers. Hence, you should look for an influencer marketing platform that can help you accomplish that.

You should ensure that your platform can help you find genuine influencers with ease. The platform should also help you find influencers who can help you reach your target audience. If it doesn’t help you accomplish this, it may not be useful to use it.

What’s more?

You should look into the other features that the platform offers. Does the platform help with native advertising campaigns? Can it help you track the campaign results? Does it help you manage the influencer’s content?

If the influencer marketing platform is able to accomplish all this, it might be a good option for your brand.

Now that you know what to look for in an influencer marketing platform, let’s take a look at some of the best influencer marketing platforms out there.
