  • Lifestyle / general: $15–$40 CPM

Engagement > follower count

A 25K audience with 7% engagement drives more clicks than 100K followers at 0.5%. When pitching to brands, lead with engaged audience size and average comment quality, not raw follower count. It positions you as a conversion partner, not just a media buy.

Negotiation leverage tips

Ask for the brand's campaign budget before quoting your rate. Package integrations together (video + story + email mention) to anchor the conversation to a larger number. Offer exclusivity in your niche as a premium add-on — brands pay significantly more for category exclusivity.
