Determining how much to charge for an Instagram shoutout depends on several factors, including your follower count, engagement rate, niche, and the quality of your content.
A detailed breakdown to help you set a price:
- Follower Count:
- Micro-Influencers (1,000 – 10,000 followers): $10 – $100 per shoutout.
- Mid-Tier Influencers (10,000 – 100,000 followers): $100 – $500 per shoutout.
- Macro-Influencers (100,000 – 1 million followers): $500 – $5,000 per shoutout.
- Mega-Influencers (1 million+ followers): $5,000+ per shoutout.
- Engagement Rate:
- Calculate your engagement rate by taking the average number of likes and comments per post, dividing it by your total follower count, and then multiplying by 100.
- Influencers with high engagement rates (above 3-5%) can charge more as their followers are more likely to interact with the content.
- Niche:
- Certain niches, like fashion, beauty, fitness, and technology, can command higher prices due to high demand.
- Specialized or highly-targeted niches (e.g., vegan cooking, sustainable fashion) can also charge a premium because of their dedicated and specific audience.
- Content Quality:
- High-quality, professional-looking photos and videos can justify higher rates.
- If you offer additional services like professional photography, video production, or creative direction, you can charge extra.
- Market Rates and Competition:
- Research what other influencers with similar follower counts and engagement rates in your niche are charging.
- Adjust your rates to be competitive but also reflect the unique value you bring.
- Type of Shoutout:
- A permanent post on your feed can be more expensive than a temporary story shoutout.
- Bundling multiple posts or stories can also influence pricing.

- Shoutout on story: $10 – $30
- Shoutout on feed: $30 – $100
