Research conducted by the Canterbury Christ Church University, in collaboration with software firm Vuelio, looked at British influencers and found out how much they charged for their content through the course of 2018.

The research found that in 2018 27% of influencers charged £100 per post while 30% asked for something between £100 and £250 per post.
