The Top Micro Facebook Influencers

In influencer marketing, micro Facebook influencers are generally defined as those that have anywhere from about 1,000 to 100,000 followers on the social media platform. Micro influencers typically focus on topics that appeal to niche markets, and their followers find their content to be valuable and relevant to their interests.

One key benefit of partnering with micro influencers is they tend to have higher rates of engagement. Their followers engage with them more than the followers of macro or mega influencers do. That’s because they feel a deeper connection with influencers through their shared interests in niche topics.

The small size of the micro influencer’s audience creates a sense of community and trust. Another benefit of their smaller audience size is that it typically also makes it less expensive for brands to partner with micro influencers. Here are some of the top micro Facebook influencers for brands and marketers to know:
