They are fully dedicated to their influencing business and captivate their audience by revealing their daily lives. Their world revolves around a relatively broad topic, which allows them to reach a <strong>very wide audience<\/strong>. They\u2019re the ideal target for brands seeking visibility. Sports, lifestyle, food, business, and video games are the most common areas of influence in daily life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mega-influence_and_lifestyle\"><\/span>Mega-influence and lifestyle<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/enjoyphoenix\/?hl=fr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EnjoyPhoenix<\/a> is the queen of fashion and beauty influencers. Her 5 million followers are enthralled by her every move. Her profile lets her be open to different types of advertising, since she talks about style as much as about travel and cooking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mega-influence_and_sports\"><\/span>Mega-influence and sports<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A true influencer in his field, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCpWaR3gNAQGsX48cIlQC0qw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tibo Inshape<\/a> has built a physique that is as impressive as his community.

Their followers are fewer in number but are generally enthusiastic about what they have to share. This is a positive factor for partner brands, who are increasingly focusing on <strong>quality rather than quantity<\/strong>. Travel, digital media, news, art, and animals are areas of influence that appeal to dreamers as much as to the people involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Macro-influence_and_travel\"><\/span>Macro-influence and travel<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/brunomaltor\/?hl=fr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bruno Maltor<\/a> is one of the most-followed travel influencers in France. This modern-day adventurer is as genuine as ever, much to the delight of his community. He shares his helpful hints and his challenges while promoting little-known and often-underestimated destinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Macro-influence_and_technology\"><\/span>Macro-influence and technology<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UChlTcWDE8gd4tsl_L727NrQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hasheur<\/a> is the youngest ambassador of the cryptocurrency ecosystem in France. Every week, he shares his interest in blockchain technology with nearly half a million subscribers. As for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCYnvxJ-PKiGXo_tYXpWAC-w\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Micode<\/a>, he keeps things simple by explaining topics like the Dark Web and cybersecurity to his community. They are the undisputed leaders in their field and are regularly enlisted for their knowledge and influence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Macro-influence_and_animals\"><\/span>Macro-influence and animals<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/kittyetlola\/?hl=fr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kitty et Lola<\/a> are two dogs that belong to the famous YouTuber Natoo. She has fun showing their daily lives on Instagram, and she never fails to mention their favorite brands of dog food. This is an excellent marketing tool for pet-related brands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Micro-influencer_niches\"><\/span>Micro-influencer niches<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Micro-influencers have <strong>10,000 to 100,000 followers<\/strong>. They are enthusiastic about their niches and their followers like their <strong>authenticity<\/strong>. Unlike celebrities, these future social media stars are still close to their communities, who share their interests. This is a valuable asset for brands that want to partner with <strong>quality ambassadors<\/strong> to reach an engaged audience. Specific activities, unique engagement, and unusual hobbies are three areas of influence that people don\u2019t follow by chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Micro-influence_and_niche_sports\"><\/span>Micro-influence and niche sports<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Far from the most popular activities, sports micro-influencers play mainly for their own pleasure. This is true of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/casquetteverte\/?hl=fr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Casquette Verte<\/a>, a trail runner sponsored by a racing shoe manufacturer. His amazing performance is a real asset for the brand, which is gaining popularity among his 20,000 followers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Micro-influence_and_ethical_fashion\"><\/span>Micro-influence and ethical fashion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Fashion is a key area of influence that is particularly powerful; it can be synonymous with engagement. The blogger <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/iznowgood_\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Iznowgood<\/a> has seized this opportunity by creating Marqu&#8217;iz, an ethical brand generator (you enter criteria, and the generator will suggest brands that offer what you\u2019re looking for). Her collaborations are the product of careful consideration, never failing to appeal to her engaged community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Micro-influence_and_food\"><\/span>Micro-influence and food<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Although less famous than Michelin-starred chefs, food micro-influencers have also found a recipe for success. They often follow very specific diets and share pictures of their meals with followers who need ideas and inspiration. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/laura_healthy_vegan\/?hl=fr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Laura Healthy Vegan<\/a> does just that, posting photos of her vegan and gluten-free dishes on Instagram. For partner brands, this guarantees an audience of 35,000 hungry followers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nano-influencer_niches\"><\/span>Nano-influencer niches<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Nano-influencers are enthusiastic beginners whose <strong>communities have less than 10,000 followers.<\/strong> They are pursuing their hobbies in parallel with their jobs and are increasingly sought after for advertising. They make up for their lack of visibility with <strong>high engagement and conversion rates<\/strong>, making them an excellent marketing lever for up-and-coming brands. This category of influencers operates in a wide variety of niches, and you will only find them if you look for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nano-influence_and_calligraphy\"><\/span>Nano-influence and calligraphy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After changing careers to become a calligrapher, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/letterinparis\/?hl=fr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Letterinparis<\/a> is a constant source of inspiration for her 4,000 followers. Every day, she shares her creations, describes her craft, and gives advice to people interested in the art of lettering. She partners with a famous brand of markers, which her students use when she conducts workshops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nano-influence_and_literature\"><\/span>Nano-influence and literature<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Book lover <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/molaireettentacules\/?hl=fr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Molaireettentacules<\/a> enjoys reflecting on her latest reads. Supported by a major cultural entertainment brand, she receives books and can even give some away to her community. This is a great way for the brand to become known and liked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nano-influence_and_cosmetics\"><\/span>Nano-influence and cosmetics<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Do It Yourself is a niche that will continue to grow. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/beautyshakefr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Beauty Shake<\/a> delights in sharing cosmetics recipes and natural tips with her followers on Instagram. She collaborates with several brands in the field, promoting them on her website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Influencer marketing has long been driven by celebrities, but it is now built around high-profile personalities. One thing quickly became clear to brands: mega-influencers are expensive and unavailable, and their communities are more curious than engaged. So, the approach has changed a lot in recent years. Many brands prefer to leverage macro- or micro-influence. The more an influencer develops in a specific field, the more they are surrounded by a small, passionate, engaged community. This is a big plus for brands whose goal is to convert as many followers as possible into buyers. Influence niches vary depending on the type of influencer, but influencer marketing seems to have a bright future ahead of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/satt-token.com\/blog\/2022\/01\/03\/what-are-the-advantages-of-paying-influencers-per-performance\/\">What are the advantages of paying influencers per performance?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Consumers are beginning to question traditional advertising, so many brands are now turning to influencer marketing.
