1. Use Micro-Influencers for Trust-Based Reach
Instead of investing thousands in superstar influencers, work with micro-influencers (1K-100K followers) in your niche who have high engagement and dedicated followers. Why it works: Because their audiences are more niche-specific and authentic, micro-influencers frequently create 5x the engagement of macro-influencers.
