Rates vary by source, so treat these as general ranges rather than fixed quotes. &nbsp; Influencer Tier Followers Typical Cost Per Post Nano 1K \u2013 10K $10 \u2013 $250 Micro 10K \u2013 100K $250 \u2013 $5,000 Macro 100K \u2013 1M $5,000 \u2013 $25,000 Mega \/ Celebrity 1M+ $10,000 \u2013 $50,000+ &nbsp; How Much Should You Budget?
