Instagram and TikTok matter far less — B2B trust is built through demonstrated expertise, not lifestyle reach."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How do I know if a tech creator's audience can actually buy?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Read the audience, not the topic. When we deep-analysed AI-category creators, the largest audience bucket was general consumers — entertained by the topic, no budget. Look for whose problems the creator keeps solving and what the content assumes readers already know. Koinon Link profiles this per creator and lets you filter by audience function and seniority."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Should B2B target decision makers or practitioners?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Depends on your motion. Sales-led products with approval chains need the small decision-maker pool. Self-serve and PLG products convert better through practitioners — they sign up, trial, and champion internally. Tutorial-audience (learner) channels look great on engagement but convert poorly: enthusiastic audiences, minimal budgets."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Do micro B2B influencers outperform big ones?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Usually per dollar, yes. B2B decision-maker audiences are structurally niche, so the channels reaching them are small; measured across our index, the share of accounts reaching practitioner audiences falls sharply as follower count grows. A 5K-follower channel of engineering leads beats a 500K general-tech channel for a devtools product."}}]}],"related":[{"title":"Who actually follows AI creators (measured)","url":"https://koinonlink.com/research/who-actually-follows-ai-creators"},{"title":"Audience seniority: who can approve spend","url":"https://koinonlink.com/research/ai-creator-audience-seniority"},{"title":"How to find creators to promote your AI/SaaS tool","url":"https://koinonlink.com/answers/find-creators-to-promote-ai-saas-tool"},{"title":"How audience-persona matching works","url":"https://koinonlink.com/answers/audience-persona-matching-influencer-outreach"},{"title":"koinonlink.com creator search","url":"https://koinonlink.com/"}],"license":"CC BY 4.0","citation":"Koinon Link (2026).
