📝  Your guide to finding Australian influencers

In general, there are two ways to find relevant influencers: searching manually on social media or using an influencer search tool. Here are some tips for both approaches!

1. Searching on Google

The most straightforward way to find influencers is by searching on Google – you’ve probably already tried that! You can search for keywords like top Australian influencers, beauty influencers in Australia, or book influencers in Melbourne. The more specific your search term is, the better results you’ll get!

2. Searching manually on social media

The easiest way to find influencers on Instagram is by searching by hashtags and keywords: make sure to check relevant hashtags like #australia, #australianinfluencer, and #australianblogger. If you’re looking for influencers in a specific city, try keywords and hashtags related to these cities.

Secondly, you can check locations like Australia, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide. Additionally, you can check local restaurants, cafes, and other places that influencers might go to.

Once you’ve found an influencer you’d like to work with, you can check profiles that are similar to theirs: click on the little 🔽 button next to the “Message” button on their profile when on mobile or the little arrow button next to “Follow” when on desktop. This way, you will see a list of similar influencers you might want to work with!

When it comes to manually finding influencers on TikTok, the search process is the same: you can search by hashtags, keywords, and phrases.

When you’re on the phone, you can also set filters for the search. If you’re looking for influencers, select “Users” in the top menu – and use the filters to see profiles with over 10,000 or 100,000 followers. You can also set the profile type to “verified” to see celebrities and international companies. In the desktop version, the filtering options are limited.

3. Using an influencer search tool

As finding relevant influencers manually might be terribly time-consuming, we recommend using an influencer search tool. You might pay a small monthly fee – but it’s a huge time of save of time and helps you find much more relevant influencers.

Promoty is one of them: we have a global database with 190M social media influencers. By filtering the database by influencers’ interests, location, social media data, audience demographics, or other criteria, you can find exactly the right influencers for your brand.

If you’re looking for Australia-based influencers, just set the Location field to “Australia” or any relevant city in Australia – or use the keyword search.

If you’re looking for influencers with an Australian audience, set the Audience Location field to “Australia”. Additionally, you can filter influencers by age, gender, location, language, audience demographics, and other criteria.
