Jesse Willms also offers crucial tips on how businesses can work successfully with influencers.

LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESSWIRE / February 18, 2021 / Jesse Willms, a prominent entrepreneur and business owner, has explored why a growing number of businesses are turning to influencers for product placement in a new feature article published on Medium.com.

Influencers are individuals who, due to their authority, knowledge or position in a distinct niche or community, have the ability to shape the opinions of their social media audience. Mega-influencers boast a million or more followers, macro-influencers slot in at around 50,000 to one million followers, and micro-influencers have under 50,000 followers. Rounding out the influencer crew are nano-influencers, who typically have fewer than 1,000 followers. While this may seem like a paltry and relatively insignificant number, some nano-influencers have a surprisingly large impact, especially in new and emerging niches and sub-niches. With this being said, larger brands typically focus their attention (and their dollars) on mega and macro-influencers, including some who easily make 6 and 7-figure incomes purely from their promotional work.

As for why influencers command such power - and in some cases have more control over the hearts, minds, and indeed wallets of a target audiences than massive brands with multi-million dollars outreach budgets - Jesse Willms points to the most important piece of the marketing puzzle: trust.

'Trust is the primary tenant of any relationship, so it is especially important to establish between your business and customers,' commented Jesse Willms, who owns several vehicle history websites that enable consumers to check out the history of used cars and identify whether vehicles of interest have been in an accident, are subject to any unresolved safety recalls. 'Working with influencers who have already developed a relationship of trust with their audience is a simple way to strengthen trust with minimal effort.'

With respect to how businesses should work with influencers, Jesse Willms offers some crucial tips: start small, choose experienced and proven influencers who align with the values and vision of the business, be prepared to give up some creative control, and establish a system to track metrics and results. On this latter point, Jesse Willms further advises: 'You can provide [influencers] with a code or affiliate links to track how many conversions were made from their promotion.'

And as for what might be the most important lesson for businesses to learn when it comes to successfully working with influencers, Jesse Willms offers this wise counsel: do not expect overnight success.

'Cultivating something as important as trust will take time,' commented Jesse Willms. 'Invest time and resources into influencer marketing, and you might just develop meaningful partnerships that allow you both to increase your bottom line.'
