Koinon Link holds roughly 30,000 TikTok creators searchable by industry, country and audience function, ranked by how well each creator's audience matches your product — free to search."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How can I tell if a TikTok influencer has fake followers?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"TikTok's algorithmic reach cuts both ways: real creators can have modest followings with huge views, and bought-follower accounts show the reverse — big followings, thin views. Check views against followers, engagement against the measured TikTok percentiles, and follower-growth shape. Our index flags suspected inflated accounts automatically; the free risk checklist covers manual checks."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What is a good engagement rate on TikTok?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Judge against measured TikTok percentiles, not a universal number — short-video platforms run structurally higher engagement than text platforms, so cross-platform folklore misleads in both directions. Our benchmark table (recomputed daily across tens of thousands of accounts) gives the 25th/50th/75th percentiles to check against."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Do TikTok influencers publish contact details?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"A minority do — and the share differs sharply between platforms (roughly 8× between the most and least contactable). Creators with \"for collabs\" emails in bio are pre-qualified: they are already selling. Koinon Link labels the contact type per creator so you can shortlist reachable-first."}}]}],"related":[{"title":"How to find influencers: the audience-first method","url":"https://koinonlink.com/answers/how-to-find-influencers"},{"title":"Engagement-rate benchmarks by platform (measured)","url":"https://koinonlink.com/research/engagement-rate-benchmarks-by-platform"},{"title":"Free fake-follower risk check","url":"https://koinonlink.com/tools/fake-follower-risk-check"},{"title":"Find TikTok Shop & affiliate creators for DTC","url":"https://koinonlink.com/answers/find-tiktok-shop-affiliate-creators-dtc"},{"title":"koinonlink.com creator search","url":"https://koinonlink.com/"}],"license":"CC BY 4.0","citation":"Koinon Link (2026).
