## About

Influencer outreach is the most scalable way to grow on social media when paid ads fail. This skill helps brands and agencies identify the right micro‑influencers, craft personalized collaboration messages, and track every partnership from first contact to published content. It replaces manual spreadsheets and generic DM blasts with a structured, founder‑approved workflow.

Unlike tools that focus only on follower counts, this skill prioritizes engagement quality and audience overlap. It mines your existing followers, comments, and niche hashtags to surface creators who actually influence your target market. Each outreach draft is tailored to the creator’s specific content, making partnerships feel authentic rather than transactional.

From product launches to ambassador programs, the skill scales across campaigns. Use it quarterly to build a fresh shortlist, reactively when competitors activate their creators, or to formalize relationships with customer‑creators. The pipeline tracking keeps stakeholders aligned without drowning in messages.

## Key features

- **Creator Discovery**: Mine your followers, niche hashtags, and competitor shares to build a targeted shortlist of micro-influencers.
- **Personalized Outreach Drafts**: Generate tailored DM drafts that reference specific creator content and include a clear value exchange for higher response rates.
- **Engagement-Based Prioritization**: Rank influencers by audience overlap and engagement rate, not just follower count, ensuring authentic partnerships.
- **Pipeline Tracking**: Monitor every outreach stage—contacted, replied, negotiating, confirmed—in one view, so no opportunity slips.

## Use cases

- **Launch a creator collaboration for a new product**: Quickly assemble a shortlist and draft personalized pitches to amplify a product launch with authentic voices.
- **Turn happy customers into brand ambassadors**: Identify existing customer-creators and formalize partnerships with ambassador or affiliate programs.
- **Respond to competitor influencer campaigns**: Find and engage creators in your niche to counter competitor moves and maintain share of voice.

## Skill definition

# Influencer Outreach

Identify and reach out to micro-influencers and creators for collaboration opportunities. The goal is authentic partnerships with people whose audience overlaps with the brand's target market.

## Purpose

Paid ads are getting more expensive. Organic reach is declining. Creator partnerships are the last scalable organic channel — but only if outreach is personal, value-first, and founder-approved.

## When to Use

- Building a creator shortlist for the quarter
- Product launch needs amplification
- Existing customers include creators who could be partners
- Competitor launched a successful influencer campaign

## Inputs Required

- Brand positioning and value proposition for partners
- Creator criteria: follower range, engagement rate, niche overlap
- Offer types available (free product, affiliate, paid, commission)

## Quick Reference

| Creator Tier | Follower Range | Approach | Offer Type |
|-------------|---------------|---------|-----------|
| Nano-influencer | 500-5K | Personal DM, relationship-first | Free access, affiliate, shoutout swap |
| Micro-influencer | 5K-50K | Personalized email/DM, value-first | Paid collab, affiliate, early access |
| Mid-tier | 50K-500K | Professional outreach via email/agent | Paid sponsorship, revenue share |
| Customer-creator | Any size | Formalize existing relationship | Ambassador, affiliate, UGC partnership |

## Procedure

1. **Build the target list:**
   - Mine existing followers and engaged commenters
   - Search by niche hashtags and topics
   - Check who shares competitors' content
   - Prioritize: audience overlap > engagement quality > follower count

2. **Evaluate each candidate:**
   - Audience demographics match?
   - Engagement rate >2%?
   - Content quality brand-worthy?
   - Natural alignment with what the brand does?

3. **Build ranked shortlist** (10-20 targets) with tier, contact method, personal angle.

4. **Draft personalized outreach:**
   - Reference SPECIFIC content they created
   - Explain why partnership makes sense
   - Clear offer: what brand provides, what creator provides
   - Soft ask: "Would you be open to exploring this?"

5. **Founder approval** required before ANY outreach sent.

6. **Track pipeline:** Contacted → Replied → Negotiating → Confirmed → Content live → Performance.

## Output Format

```markdown
# Influencer Outreach: [Quarter]

## Target Shortlist
| Priority | Creator | Platform | Followers | ER% | Why Them | Contact | Status |
|----------|---------|----------|-----------|-----|----------|---------|--------|
| 1 | @name | IG | 15K | 4.2% | [Specific reason] | DM | Not contacted |
...

## Outreach Draft: @name
**Personal angle:** "Really liked your post about [topic] — especially [specific detail]"
**Message:**
```
[Full personalized outreach DM/email]
```
**Offer:** [Brand provides X → Creator provides Y]
**Follow-up (7 days):** [Short, no-pressure follow-up]

## Pipeline Summary
- Targeted: [N] | Contacted: [N] | In conversation: [N] | Confirmed: [N]
- Conversion rate: [N]%
```

## Done Criteria

The skill is complete when:
1. 10-20 targets are identified and ranked
2. Each top-priority target has a personalized outreach draft
3. The offer is clearly stated (what brand gives, what creator gives)
4. Founder has approved all outreach before sending
5. Pipeline tracking is set up

## Pitfalls

- Spraying 100 creators with the same generic DM
- Looking only at follower count (5K with 8% engagement > 100K with 0.5%)
- Making the offer about what brand wants, not what creator gets
- Pitching a creator who just did a deal with a competitor
- Following up more than once after no response

## Verification

For each outreach draft: if you were this creator, would you reply? Does it feel specific or templated? Is the founder okay with every offer?

## FAQ

### What is influencer outreach and why does it matter?

Influencer outreach is the process of identifying and contacting creators to form collaboration partnerships. It matters because paid ads are getting expensive and organic reach is declining, making authentic creator partnerships one of the last scalable organic channels.

### How does this skill find the right micro-influencers for my brand?

It mines your existing followers and engaged commenters, searches niche hashtags and topics, and analyzes who shares competitors’ content, then prioritizes based on audience overlap and engagement quality.

### What’s the difference between nano, micro, and mid-tier influencers?

Nano-influencers (500–5K followers) are best for personal DM and relationship‑first approaches; micro‑influencers (5K–50K) suit personalized email/DM with paid collabs or affiliates; mid‑tier (50K–500K) require professional outreach and sponsorship offers.

### How personalized should outreach messages be?

Very personalized. Each draft must reference a specific piece of content the creator made, explain why the partnership makes sense, and clearly state what the brand provides and what the creator gets. Generic spray‑and‑pray DMs kill response rates.

### What if a creator doesn’t respond?

Follow up once after about 7 days with a short, no‑pressure message. If still no response, move on. The skill tracks statuses so you don’t lose momentum or accidentally over‑message.

### Is this free to use?

Yes, the skill is open‑source under the MIT license and can be used without cost. No paid tiers or hidden fees—just add it to your workflow.
