Micro-influencers often bring better ROI than big names. Have you tried influencer marketing? How do you find and vet creators? What results or challenges have you faced?

Yes, marketing is worth it for companies of any size. In fact, I think that a small company should hire marketing more than a large company, since it needs to grow and it is the best way to grow, with marketing, as long as your company is good, obviously.

Yes, influencer marketing can be worth it for small businesses. I’ve seen local brands grow by partnering with micro-influencers. They often have loyal followers and affordable rates, making it easier to build trust, reach niche audiences, and boost sales effectively.

Influencer marketing is expensive, you might have to spend $50-$100 even to hire a micro influencer. There is no conversion guarantee, the influencer might have also built followers through paid mechanism, so they might not have genuine followers.

I've found that smaller creators often deliver better engagement because their audiences tend to trust them more. I usually look for creators whose content naturally fits the brand, then check their engagement, audience quality, and past partnerships before reaching out. Authenticity has mattered more than follower count.
