Recommended Tools
Define Your Influencer Profile
Use Claude to write your ideal influencer criteria: platform, audience size tier (nano/micro/macro), niche alignment, engagement rate minimum, and content quality signals.
Research and Source Candidates
Use Brand24 and Perplexity to find influencers already talking about your category. Look at who your competitors are working with and who their top engaged followers are.
Vet Engagement and Authenticity
For each candidate, check engagement rate (likes + comments / followers) and comment quality. Ask Claude to assess whether the comments look authentic or bot-generated based on examples.
Send Personalized Outreach
Write a DM or email template in ChatGPT that references something specific about their recent content. Send via the platform or Lemlist for email outreach.
Manage Active Partnerships
Track all influencer relationships in Airtable AI with fields for status, deliverables, payment, live date, and performance. Use automation to send brief reminders before each deliverable deadline.
