What do influencer ratings mean for your Brand?

We usually see the ratings in this Digital era before trying out a new restaurant in our hometown. Likewise, when Brands see the rating card of an influencer, they feel safe to work with them. Influencer Rating shouldn’t be taken lightly.

Why do influencers need ratings?

The ratings an influencer gets show their intelligence and knowledge in the work they do. It helps the brands trust the influencers before they collaborate and helps the brands judge whether this influencer can handle big projects.

We at Famstar- the best influencer marketing platform provide an influencer rating system so that Brands feel confident to work and collaborate with these influencers in the future.

How does the rating system work at Famstar?

Brands can rate the influencers on a “five-star” scale. Five stars being excellent and one star being poor. You can only rate these influencers if you have completed a project with them. These ratings given by the Brands are refreshed regularly and if you can’t see any rating, it means we don’t have any data to show you. Does that mean that influencers with no rating won’t be good for your Brand? Absolutely not! It just means that they are newbie’s who have joined our platform and are eager to collaborate with your Brand. rating system work at Famstar What criteria should Brands consider before rating an influencer?
