With so many brands and products on social media, how does a potential customer choose?<br \/>\nThis is where influencers come in.<br \/>\nInfluencers are social media content creators who are dedicated to a niche and <strong>their\u00a0<\/strong><strong>voices are carefully listened to by their loyal followers.<\/strong><br \/>\nInfluencers are not only passionate about their interest, but they\u2019re in the know about the next biggest trends. Working with them will help you extend the reach of your company\u2019s voice, increase your brand awareness, and increase the volume of leads you generate. Mention is here to help with all this!<br \/>\nIn this blog post, we\u2019ll explain how to use our different features to <strong><a href=\"\/?page_id=620\">find influencers<\/a>, identify brand ambassadors and stay on top of new trends.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Find web and social media influencers easily with Mention<\/h2>\n<p>Identify influencers you want to work with by searching<strong>\u00a0for people talking about your competitors, trends, or subjects in your industry.<\/strong><br \/>\nKeep in mind that your end goal is to\u00a0reach the followers of the influencers who are similar to your own target audience.<br \/>\nTo begin, we\u00a0recommend creating one alert per brand or per competitor. This may end up giving you a lot of mentions, but that\u2019s normal &#8211; it\u2019s better to have more data than not enough!<br \/>\nIf you only want to search within specific social networks, you can filter your alert to receive only tweets or Instagram posts for instance. You\u2019ll then want to use the Influencers Tables, which you can find under the tab \u201cInfluencers\u201d.<br \/>\nHere you can have a quick and exhaustive view of the relative influencers to your or your competitor\u2019s brand, sorted by their influence. This is an easy way to detect powerful influencers to work with.<br \/>\nYou can narrow your results even further by adjusting the filters. Get results of influencers based on their countries, interest, time period, and the type of content they post.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15127 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/pasted-image-0-19.png\" alt=\"find twitter influencers with Mention\" width=\"1600\" height=\"876\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/pasted-image-0-19.png 1600w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/pasted-image-0-19-300x164.png 300w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/pasted-image-0-19-768x420.png 768w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/pasted-image-0-19-1024x561.png 1024w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/pasted-image-0-19-450x246.png 450w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/pasted-image-0-19-187x102.png 187w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/pasted-image-0-19-24x13.png 24w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/pasted-image-0-19-36x20.png 36w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/pasted-image-0-19-48x26.png 48w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1600\/876;\" \/><br \/>\nYou can also widen your search of influencers on Twitter and Instagram by using our Discover Influencers feature.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15126 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/pasted-image-0-18.png\" alt=\"discover influencers with Mention\" width=\"1600\" height=\"878\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/pasted-image-0-18.png 1600w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/pasted-image-0-18-300x165.png 300w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/pasted-image-0-18-768x421.png 768w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/pasted-image-0-18-1024x562.png 1024w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/pasted-image-0-18-450x247.png 450w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/pasted-image-0-18-187x103.png 187w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/pasted-image-0-18-24x13.png 24w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/pasted-image-0-18-36x20.png 36w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/pasted-image-0-18-48x26.png 48w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1600\/878;\" \/><br \/>\nYou\u2019ll be able to see the detailed profiles of the influencers, including their recent activity and what types of content they share regularly.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15124 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/pasted-image-0-16.png\" alt=\"learn more about social media influencers\" width=\"1600\" height=\"878\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/pasted-image-0-16.png 1600w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/pasted-image-0-16-300x165.png 300w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/pasted-image-0-16-768x421.png 768w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/pasted-image-0-16-1024x562.png 1024w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/pasted-image-0-16-450x247.png 450w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/pasted-image-0-16-187x103.png 187w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/pasted-image-0-16-24x13.png 24w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/pasted-image-0-16-36x20.png 36w, https:\/\/mention.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/pasted-image-0-16-48x26.png 48w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1600\/878;\" \/><br \/>\nYou can then add the potential influencers you\u2019re interested in working with to\u00a0Lists, to\u00a0contact them later and turn them into <strong>your <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/mention.com\/en\/blog\/social-influencers\/\">brand ambassadors<\/a>.
