How to Vet a TikTok Creator Before Sending a Sample
Learning how to vet a TikTok creator before sending a sample protects your investment. The sample costs money, shipping costs money, and management time costs money.
Sending a sample to a creator is an investment. The sample costs money, the shipping costs money, and the time spent managing the relationship costs money. Vetting the creator before sending a sample protects your investment.
First, check the creator’s engagement rate. A creator with 100K followers should have an engagement rate of 3-5%. Below 2% is a red flag. Calculate the average of their last 10 posts for accuracy.
Second, review their content quality. Does the creator produce videos that are clear, well-edited, and engaging? A creator who produces low-effort content will produce low-effort content for your product too.
Third, verify audience fit. Check the comments on their videos. Do the comments match your target audience? If the creator’s audience is not your target demographic, the sample will not convert.
Fourth, check past collaborations. Has the creator worked with similar brands? Did they deliver the content on time? Ask the creator for examples of past brand collaborations and check their delivery timeline.
Fifth, use a creator database. Dami’s creator database includes filtering and data that help you assess creator quality before you invest in outreach. You can filter by category, engagement, and market to find creators who are a good fit for your product.
