What is actually going wrong
Nano influencers and sponsorship scouting: the answer is public, scattered, and nobody has time to collect it. Start from this: nano influencers have small audiences that know them personally, which is why their engagement rates run highest, and sponsorship scouting follows. On nano influencers, sponsorship scouting rarely catches this: a list of a hundred nano creators costs more to manage than one larger creator costs to book. Creator Finder carries 1 ready made setup for sponsorship scouting on nano influencers.
What is at stake
The best fit among nano influencers is rarely the one the app recommends, because the recommendation follows reach and fit follows audience.
Traditional Search Tools
- Your own customer list, for nano influencers. Free, and the best nano creators often already buy from you.
- Modash. A large searchable creator database across Instagram, TikTok and YouTube with audience filters. Strong discovery, sold on a monthly subscription that suits a team running campaigns every month.
- TikTok One and the other platform marketplaces. Official, free to browse, and limited to creators who opted in. The ones who did not sign up are invisible there.
- An influencer agency. They bring a roster and the relationships, and charge a retainer or a share of the fee. Worth it for a launch, expensive as a standing way to find people.
- Search the platforms yourself. Type the niche into TikTok, Instagram and YouTube search, open every profile that looks right, and copy the handle and follower count into a sheet. About three minutes a creator, and the results depend on what each app decides to show you.
