5 Steps You Should Know to Calculate Influencer Marketing ROI


Influencer marketing is undoubtedly earning huge revenues for brands in today’s digital world that goes even without saying. According to a study, it is estimated that $8 billion is to be spent on Instagram influencer marketing alone.

This gives us an insight into how effective is influencer marketing. It is the department of digital marketing that is unparalleled and unmatched in terms of the impact they create. To calculate the Returns on Investment accurately, one needs to follow these five steps-



1.       Campaign goals for ROI tracking- The first step is to set campaign goals to track ROI. It is imperative to lay down a clear set of objectives so that it can be determined easily if your influencer marketing campaigning is moving in the right direction. The major plus point of learning objectives is that you can perceive the kind of influencers you want and content distribution platform.


2.       Measuring campaign performance- it is not only about setting goals the trick is to measure the performance. The metric system must be such that it as the real factor in it. Be specific, have a timeline, be realistic. It isn’t necessary to have only one metric system you can have a more than one metric system to measure different aspects of campaigning.


3.       Setting the bar for individual influencer- You have to find out which influencer is generating more business and who is lagging. Influencers who are underperforming can be given a more detailed briefing about your brand so that they can address their followers better. Cutting down the resources, in this case, is not the remedy. Individual bars can be set, such as the amount of user-generated content created an average engagement rate, etc.


4.       Appropriate tracking platform- It is rather backdated to track the ROI manually. Its time to track ROI using marketing platforms because they are accurate and give an exact idea about performances. Let’s not forget; it saves time. Examples of some influencer marketing ROI calculator include – NeoReach, Tapinfluence, Grin, etc.


5.       Take the extra step- Let’s not be limited to only measuring the ROI through business generated. It is equally important to measure the influencer. Measuring the influencer will give you an idea about your pick and if it was the right decision to appoint him in the first place. Here the key is to start with a small set of influencers and then to increase the expenditure selecting more influencers.


With these five steps accessing the results gets easier, and it gives a general idea of about the ROI of influencer marketing. We are not to forget that influencer marketing requires the right strategies to generate business, and it is not always the influencers who are under-performing at times; it’s the strategy as well.

Cutting people off isn’t strength—It is a trauma response

Your ability to cut people off and self-isolate is not a skill you should be proud of—It is a trauma response Cutting people off and self-isolating may feel like a protective shield, but it is often rooted in unresolved or unhealed trauma and an inability to depend on others. While these behaviors seem like self-preservation, they end up reinforcing isolation and blocking meaningful connections. Confronting these patterns, seeking therapy, and nurturing supportive relationships can help break this unhealthy cycle. Plus, a simple act like planting a jasmine plant can symbolise the start of your journey towards emotional healing. Why do we cut people off and isolate? If you’re someone who prides themselves on “cutting people off” or keeping a tight circle, you might believe it’s a skill—a way to protect yourself from betrayal, hurt, or unnecessary drama. I get it. I’ve been there, too. But here’s the thing: this ability to isolate yourself is not as empowering as it may seem. In fact, i...

Spill the Tea: Ira and the quiet exhaustion of being watched

Ira comes for tea and slowly reveals a life shaped by emotional surveillance. Loved, watched, and quietly evaluated by her parents, she lives under constant explanation. Through food, posture, and confession, she names the exhaustion of being known too well and finds nourishment not just in eating, but in finally being heard. Ira arrived  five minutes early and apologized for it. The way people do when they are used to taking responsibility for time itself. She said it lightly, as if time itself had offended her. She wore a white A-line shirtdress, clean and careful, the kind that looks chosen for comfort but ends up signaling restraint. When she sat down, she folded herself into the chair unconsciously. One leg rested on the floor, the other tucked underneath her, knees visible. It was not a pose meant to be seen. It slipped out before her body remembered how to protect itself. I noticed the brief softness of it, the quiet vulnerability, before she settled and forgot. I was still...
