What is an influencer content buyout?

An influencer content buyout refers to an agreement where a brand purchases the rights to use the influencer’s content across various channels (e.g., ads, Social Media, website) for a specified period.

How do you calculate Influencer Pricing?

We use multiple data points to calculate influencer rates. We take into account the Social Media Platform and content format, average views, engagement rate, and audience purchasing power.

How do you calculate pricing for influencer content buyouts?

We take into account the number of followers an influencer has, the number of channels you want to buy out the content for (e.g., ads, Social Media, website), and the duration of the content buyout. For example, if the content of an influencer with 500k followers on YouTube is needed for 2 channels for 3 years, the buyout price calculation would be:

Buyout Fee = (Total Number of Subscribers ÷ 100,000) × Rate per 100k Subscribers × Number of Channels × Duration in Years

(500,000 ÷ 100,000 ) × $1,000 × 2 × 3 = $30,000

Is the YouTube Influencer Pricing Calculator free?

How do I find out how much an influencer charges for a YouTube video?

You can use Creable's YouTube Influencer Pricing Calculator to find out an influencer's estimated rates for different types of content, including YouTube videos (long-form) and YouTube Shorts. Simply enter the influencer's YouTube username, and get an instant estimate.

However, note that these would be estimated prices. Reach out to influencers via email, DM, or directly through Creable, with Creable’s estimated pricing in mind. Tell them about your brand, campaign objectives, and why you want to work with them. After that, you can request pricing information from them. Be specific about what you need, like the number of posts and type of content, duration of the campaign, etc. This helps the influencer give you a better price idea.

What factors affect influencer pricing?

Several factors affect how much an influencer charges. This includes the influencer’s follower count, reach, engagement rates, audience purchasing power, niche or industry, content format, content quality, campaign type, and duration of the campaign. Additionally, the influencer's reputation, expertise in the niche, geographic location, and complexity of the campaign can also affect the price. The final price is a combination of all these factors.

Are the influencer pricing results 100% accurate?

The influencer pricing results provided are estimates based on comprehensive data analysis of factors such as average views, engagement rates, and audience purchasing power. While our estimates are generally accurate, there can occasionally be abnormalities that lead to deviations. If an influencer's pricing is significantly higher than our estimate, we recommend carefully evaluating whether paying above the market rate is justified.

We suggest using Creable’s estimated influencer pricing as a baseline for initial shortlisting and then reaching out to influencers directly to obtain 100% accurate pricing.
