The influencer industry is an exciting and mysterious world.
As The Independent put it, it’s a “universally acknowledged” truth that influencers can make a little extra money from Instagram.
All you need to be a creator today is creativity and 3,000+ followers. If you have these two elements, you could have a side hustle on your hands.
However, the question still remains: How much can you really make as an creator?
Who are we talking about?
Before talking money, let’s explain who’s on TRIBE.
TRIBE works with micro influencers and creators with 3,000+ followers on TikTok, Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook or Twitter.
These are the everyday people creating amazing content for their social media feeds.
Each influencer on our platform has their own niche audience that dictates which brands they work with and how much they charge per post.
So how much do these influencers earn?
How much you can earn as a creator varies greatly. There was a time when creator rates were largely dictated by the size of their audience, however, there are a lot of other things to take into consideration.

So, how does it work?
Easy.
Influencers simply open their TRIBE app and submit a pitch to campaigns from brands they love. They’ll also nominate a price they’re happy to post that content for. If the brands like it, they’ll Pre-Approve the creator, giving them the go-ahead to shoot and submit their final content. Once approved, the content is published and the creator is paid within 48hrs of 45 days (depending on their selected payment method).
Brands can also negotiate the price with creators, or simply decline their pitch if it’s not what they’re looking for.
Why do influencers use TRIBE?
Influencers of all sizes use TRIBE because it saves time AND allows them to make a living from doing what they love.
In the old days, only the influencer with the most followers got the opportunity to work with brands.
As time went on, brands eventually realised that beautiful quality imagery and content was more valuable than popularity.
What’s more, as covered in The Independent and also in The Daily Mail, “brands can now reach 20 times as many consumers by paying a number of ambassadors the same price they once would have paid one.”
Now, the influencer with the best quality content is on the same playing field as top-tier influencers. Some of our influencers have even been able to leave their day job completely and start influencing full-time.
In fact, our highest-paid influencer - a dietitian from Sydney, Australia - has earned over £65k from 23 months on TRIBE. She uses her influencer status to champion the importance of healthy eating and fitness, and only uses TRIBE in her spare time!

It’s amazing to think that working with the world’s biggest brands is only one click away.
