Most guides on how micro influencers get brand deals still describe a 2019 playbook: build a media kit, send some cold emails, wait for replies. That playbook still works, but it now sits inside a much bigger economy, and influencers who only use it are leaving money on the table.<\/p>\n

The influencer marketing industry is now worth $40.51 billion, up from $31 billion the year before. 73% of brands actively prefer micro and mid-tier influencers over celebrities, and the list of brands that work with micro influencers<\/a> now includes household names like Glossier, HelloFresh, Coca-Cola, and Sephora. On TikTok, nano-influencers with fewer than 10,000 followers deliver a 10.3% engagement rate, higher than any other tier on any other platform. And 51.43% of brands say they plan to expand their partnerships with even smaller influencers next year.<\/p>\n

All of that means one thing for an influencer with 5,000 to 100,000 followers: brand deals are more available now than at any point in the last decade, and there are more paths to them than pitching. This guide covers six paths, with real data, real rate tables, real pitch templates that landed real deals, and the three quiet revenue streams that most influencers never hear about.<\/p>\n
