Influencer Hero covers all angles so you can find authentic and high quality influencers, even those who are already interested in partnering with you.
You can either look for influencers with our Influencer Finder and reach out to them, or let them come to you with Application Forms.
You can fully personalize them to match your brand style and communication, and add all the fields you want when evaluating an influencer profile!
To set it up, follow these steps:
Step 1: Go to Applications in the left menu.
Step 2: Click on "Create new application page", give it a name (e.g. campaign name) and make sure the right brand is selected.
Step 3: Click on the page you just created and start editing the settings:
1. General information
a. Application page name
Enter the name of your application page.
b. Host form
You can choose between three hosting options for your form:
Option 1: Sharing the Live Site link
This is the easiest and fastest setup, as you can simply customize the form and then share the link to the live site (hosted by us) in a landing page, website, or even in your social media bio/link tool.
💡 Pro tip: You can create a "Become an Ambassador" or "Influencer Collabs" landing page in your website, and add an "Apply Now" button where the link to the form is inserted. Or, by simply sharing the link in your Instagram bio, influencers (who will most likely discover your brand on social media) can quickly be encouraged to apply!
Option 2: Host the Form Anywhere via iFrame
You can embed the form on any page or section of your website using the provided code snippet.
For Shopify Users:
Here's how to embed the form on your Shopify website:
Copy the snippet code.
Log in to your Shopify admin and go to Online Store > Themes.
Choose your published theme and click Customize.
Navigate to the page and section where you want to embed the form.
Click on Add Section and choose Custom Liquid or Custom HTML.
Paste the snippet code.
Click Save.
Option 3: Host the Form on Your Own Domain
You can use the default hosted form link (forms.influencer-hero.com) or connect it to your custom domain to appear as a landing page on your website.
To connect your domain:
Go through the DNS verification in Custom Domains (General Settings)
Once connected, your domain will appear under the "Host form on your own domain" dropdown, in the application page settings.
Select your domain and specify the desired path for the landing page (e.g., /influencers)
c. Add accepted influencers to a Dealflow
In order to manage the influencer partnerships once you have accepted them, you must move them to a dealflow just like with any other collab on Influencer Hero. Choose here where they will land once accepted.
d. Send an email flow to accepted influencers
This step is optional, but could be helpful to communicate the influencer has been accepted and they can expect the product soon. You can set up this email flow in the Email Flows page.
e. Track influencer social media posts: the post tracker needs to be turned on for us to track the influencer's Instagram posts.
2. Design your sign up page
This is where you can fully customize how your form looks like, and the kind of information you want to ask for.
Change font, size, colors, add images, and add your own fields to request information beyond the default fields.
Step 4: Once all changes have been applied, publish the form to go live.
Step 5: To track all applicants and activity, make sure to check the Applications page regularly. And remember that if you accept them, they will move to the dealflow specified previously, so you can proceed with sending products there or any other kind of action you'd like to take. They will also immediately receive an email flow if you have included that option.
