How much do top creators in India charge for a sponsored post?

They set their own fees. A creator with about 1 million followers has a sponsored post estimated at $8K – $20K.

This page is ordered by stored reach. Language is a separate filter, and adding it is how you stop a famous name who posts in the wrong language. Set country, language and niche together in search, then watch a recent video.

What does a verified handle mean on the top creators in India ranking?
