About Course

Influencer marketing is a modern strategy where brands collaborate with individuals who have built trust and an online following to promote products or services. These influencers create authentic, relatable content that feels more genuine than traditional ads. The goal is to leverage their influence to drive brand awareness, engagement, or sales. Influencer marketing exists across platforms like Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and LinkedIn. Influencers may be paid, receive free products, or earn via affiliate commissions. Campaigns can be short-term or long-term and are scalable across budgets. Brands choose influencers based on niche, engagement rate, content style, and audience match. The content typically blends into the influencer’s regular posts, which increases credibility. Metrics such as impressions, likes, clicks, and conversions help measure success. Influencer marketing has become a key component of digital strategies for businesses, offering better targeting and engagement than many traditional forms of advertising.
