In our in-depth discussions with hundreds of cross-border sellers, we found that more than 90% of sellers have experienced these "bloody lessons" when collaborating with TikTok influencers—
Trap 1: Being deceived by surface data, where the follower count and like numbers look great, but they just don't drive conversions;
Trap 2: Choosing the wrong collaborator, the influencer's followers are not your target customers at all, and it's impossible to make sales;
Trap 3: Encountering fake data, only to discover later that the influencer's followers and content data were all artificially boosted.
What's even more concerning is that industry data shows approximately 15% of influencer accounts have data quality issues. This means that for every 7 influencers you collaborate with, 1 of them could be wasting your budget.
So the question is: How can you quickly identify those truly effective and high-quality influencers who can drive sales?
As an official product of the Seller Insight ecosystem: Influencer Insight Plugin - 'Influencer Analysis' feature, is a TikTok influencer analysis tool created specifically for cross-border sellers, supporting one-click view of multi-dimensional influencer data, helping you comprehensively evaluate the real value and collaboration potential of TikTok influencers, and establish a scientific influencer selection process.

Key Data Interpretation
• Number of followers/total likes: Basic influence assessment;
• Influencer category: Professional judgment in vertical field;
• TikTok Shop integration: Commercial maturity indicator;
• Registration time: Identifying "quick-success accounts" and historical background;
Data Value: Within 30 seconds, screen out influencer accounts with unclear backgrounds or abnormal data, and avoid wasting the budget;
Advanced Guide:
• Identify "Growth Stocks": Short registration time but rapid fan (natural) growth = potential influencers, low cooperation cost;
• Avoid "Sunset Stars": Long registration time but recent significant data decline = faded influencers, reduced effectiveness;
Operation path: 'Influencer Analysis' >> Average Video Data >> Switch Time Dimension >> Turn on 'Exclude Pinned Videos'
Core analysis methods
• Compare across multiple time dimensions: View data for different time periods such as "Last 15 videos, last 7 days, 30 days," etc
• Data stability assessment: Focus on the fluctuation of engagement rate (normal fluctuation range: 1-2%);
• Realistic level detection: Exclude the performance of featured videos from daily data;
Data value: Verify the authenticity of influencer data, effectively identify fake prosperity accounts supported by a few viral videos.
Advanced guide:
• Identify the "one viral video wonder": Many influencers rely on a video to maintain their presence, pinning it for a year while subsequent content is poor quality;
• Determine the lifecycle: Last 7 days data > Last 30 days data = rising influencer, strong willingness to collaborate, high cost-effectiveness;

Solution: Influencer Analysis Feature: Tag Word Cloud + Influencer Classification + Subjective Judgment, for combined verification.
For example, if you are selling outdoor products, check if the influencer's tag word cloud includes tags like #Camping, #Hiking, etc., to quickly determine the relevance of the influencer's content to the vertical field. At the same time, cross-verify by combining the influencer classification in "More." Finally, browse the influencer's profile and review past video content for a subjective judgment of whether the style matches the product or brand tone.
Solution: Through the "Influencer Analysis" feature, utilize the three-layer data verification method to scientifically validate the authenticity of the data.
The three-layer data verification method—
1.Time dimension comparison: Compare the data of the last 15 videos with the data fluctuations in the last 30 days. If the interaction rate data suddenly "surges" in the last 15 videos, it is a dangerous signal of data falsification, or it could be a false boom caused by a single viral video, indicating high cooperation risk. If the data has recently experienced a sharp decline, the influencer may be in a fan fatigue phase, experiencing a decline in content quality, or has stopped maintaining the data, possibly being a " fading" influencer or a "dead account," which also requires caution.
2.Pin video exclusion: If daily data drops by >50% compared to pinned data, the account is likely experiencing artificial 繁荣 (boom).
3.Growth trajectory analysis: Conduct a comprehensive evaluation for accounts with "short registration time but high follower count":
• Danger signals (quickly built accounts): Registered for 1 month with 100,000+ followers but fewer than 10 total videos, or engagement rate far below 1%, with numerous irrelevant or repetitive comments in the comment section.
• Healthy signals (potential candidates): Registered for 2-3 months with stable growth to 100,000+ followers, over 30 total videos, consistent posting frequency, healthy engagement rate (>3%), and genuine discussions in the comment section.
Solution: Influencer Analysis: Multi-dimensional time switching + excluding pinned videos for combined judgment.
Focus on "average video score," which is the official score reflecting video content quality and recommendation weight, to quickly determine the influencer's creative level. The indicator should be >60 points. Also, pay attention to "posting frequency," which can reflect whether the influencer is active and the stability of content creation.
Indicator Description: Video quality score comes from TikTok's official evaluation system, reflecting video content quality and recommendation weight.
Solution: By using the influencer analysis function of the Influencer Spirit plugin and combining the following reference standards, you can quickly find high-value potential influencers.
High-value influencer selection criteria—
• Fan count: 50,000-200,000 range. Data shows that micro-influencers typically have a higher engagement rate than super-influencers by 3%-4%, and their collaboration costs are lower, making them an excellent choice for small-budget testing;
• Average video score: > 60 points;
• Engagement rate: > 3% and stable;
• Content tags: Highly relevant to the product;
@Shenzhen Digital Seller Case Study: With the traditional influencer selection method, only 3 out of 10 collaborations broke even. After using Darenjingling data for screening, 7 out of 10 collaborations achieved stable sales. The team upgraded from 'gut-feel selection' to 'data-driven decision-making,' boosting ad ROI by 133%.

• Relevance of content tags, fundamental guarantee for audience matching;
A: After becoming proficient in using the tools, by grasping the above 3 core points, you can make quick judgments within 1 minute. Suggested time allocation: Spend 15-20 minutes each day to concentrate on analyzing 5-10 potential influencers, and by persisting for a week, you can establish a high-quality influencer database verified by data.
A: When the budget is limited, data tools are even more necessary, because:
• A single incorrect collaboration could deplete the entire testing budget;
• Data-driven filtering is the scientific approach to discovering high-value influencers;
• Small-scale cost verification is more economical than large-scale trial and error;
The Influencer plugin's influencer analysis feature is currently free to use, making it the most suitable choice for beginner sellers and budget-constrained teams.
A: Pay attention to the following three points:
1.Check the comments. If the screen is full of "Where can I buy?", "Link?", "Need this!", this is a golden signal;
2.Look at the data: Pay attention to the average engagement rate (>3%) and video score (>60 points);
3.Make a comprehensive judgment: Good content data + strong shopping intent in the comments = truly capable of driving sales;
A: Based on the date of the earliest video among the loaded analyzed videos, the number of days (n) from that date to today, and the total number of videos published within those n days (x), the posting frequency is calculated using the formula: x/n*7.
