Blogger selection
We select bloggers and influencers for your niche and task: finding relevant authors, checking audience reality, assessing fit, a short list with rationale. Honestly and bluntly upfront: selection is the foundation, NOT a guarantee of results; even a perfectly selected blogger does not guarantee sales or reach. And critically: we always check bloggers for inflation — working with an inflated audience will drain the budget. Without promises of sales and fixed reach.
Blogger selection — overview
Blogger selection for a niche is finding and selecting influencers for your audience, task and budget: forming criteria (topic, audience, geo, format, budget), searching for candidates, checking the reality and quality of the audience (engagement, dynamics, signs of inflation, geo/demographics), assessing brand fit, a short list with rationale and risk assessment. The work: criteria, search, checking, short list, recommendations. Honestly about 'selection does not equal a guarantee of results', this is key: quality selection increases the chances of a successful integration but does not guarantee sales or specific reach — the outcome depends on the blogger's presentation, format, offer, product and audience match. 'We select bloggers and there will be sales' = a lie. Honestly about 'checking for inflation', this is critical: a significant share of bloggers have an inflated/inactive audience (bots, fake engagement, bought subscribers); placement with them will drain the budget on nonexistent people. We always check candidates and honestly filter out inflated ones. Honestly about 'real reach fluctuates': even with a live blogger the integration reach is unpredictable and usually lower than the subscriber count; N views cannot be guaranteed. Honestly about 'selection is not placement': this is selection and a short list; the placements/integrations themselves and their management are separate work (510-520). Honestly about 'depends on your product/offer': selection will not fix a weak offer or an irrelevant product. Honestly about 'platform availability': some bloggers are on platforms unavailable/restricted in the RF (Instagram/Meta — banned) — we account for this by geo. Honestly about the effect: it selects relevant bloggers with an audience reality check and provides a justified short list, increasing the chances of integrations, but this is not a guarantee of sales/reach; real reach fluctuates; we check for inflation; selection is not placement. Honestly about access: a task, niche, budget, an understanding of the target audience are needed. An important boundary: this is selection/checking (influencer); the placements themselves by platform — 510-519; selection platforms — 520; collaborations (SMM) — 500. The base price starts from 18,000 ₽ for selection/checking and a short list (depends on volume).

FAQ
Will you select bloggers and there will be sales?
Not guaranteed, honestly: quality selection increases the chances of an integration but does not guarantee sales or specific reach — the outcome depends on the blogger's presentation, format, offer, product and audience match. 'We select bloggers and there will be sales' is a deception. We honestly select relevant checked authors and increase the chances, without guarantees.
How do you check bloggers' audience?
For reality and quality, honestly: we assess engagement, subscriber dynamics, signs of inflation (bots, fake comments, spikes), geo and demographics. A significant share of bloggers are inflated — placement with them will drain the budget. We honestly filter out inflated ones and work only with a live audience.
Does selection include the placement itself?
No, honestly: this is selection, checking and a short list with rationale. The placements/integrations themselves and their management are separate work (services 510-519). We honestly separate the stages so you understand the scope; if you wish, we will do both selection and placements.
