Influencers are basically unicorn cats

A large nonprofit identified 27 social media influencers and asked them to spread the word about their event through their own social media channels.

By providing them with a registration incentive code, over five months, those influencers recruited 105 additional participants, who raised more than $200,000.

Types of Strategic Influencers

Citizen Influencer

Motivated by passion, this is by far the largest group and the most accessible.

Examples of Citizen Influencers:

• Volunteers/Donors/Activists• Customers/Subscribers/Fans• Casual Blogger (vs paid)

Professional Influencer

The follower base of professionals is built around their expertise, so they have real skin in the game.

Examples of Professional Influencers:

• Media/Bloggers• Partners/Affiliates• Sector leaders (Founders, C-level,

Exec Directors, Doctors)

VIP InfluencerWhether long-term social icons like Hillary Clinton, Van Jones or the latest American Idol winner, VIP’s/celebrities have influence. This tends to be about 1% of your base.

Examples of VIP Influencers:

• Musicians/Actors/Author• Athletes• Movement leaders

Influencers aren’t elusive. They are everywhere, including your database.

Our basic formula for Influencers is:

+ Reach (Klout + connections)+ Relevancy + Prior Interaction = Influencer
