The idea of influencers as part of a marketing strategy is certainly not novel. Rather, the rise of the social web and the Internet, in general, has given more people an opportunity to become influencers, sometimes in very niche segments within a massive online audience.

The first step to connecting with these influencers has nothing to do with the influencers themselves. Instead, we need to look at the process in terms of a traditional marketing plan: the first thing we need to do is to identify our target audience. It is not until we understand our audience that we can begin to find those influencers who are valuable to them and trusted by them.

There are many different things that influencers do, whether or not they set out with these goals. We have already discussed the value of social media to connect disparate people to each other and to the brands and organizations they care about. These influencers, with their vast networks of followers and friends, serve as nodes to make these connections more smoothly and more effectively.

Influencers have the advantage of being implicitly trusted by their audience. They have worked diligently to earn that trust. Therefore, as a company who wants to reach their audience, we must be able to provide them with relevant and timely information and to convey messages that can be shared in a clear and simple manner. It is these types of messages that can work to shape opinions, which is our ultimate goal.

Now that you know the role social media influencers play, you can probably see why it is important to engage with influencers as part of your social media and inbound marketing strategy.
