How do you think collaborations with KOLs, does it really boost your product's success?

I've had good experience partnering with micro influencers. They tend to be more receptive and if you really build a relationship with them, super supportive. With bigger name people you ofter have to deal with middle people and that always complicates things and makes the relationship less personal. I do find that partnering with the right influencer who has an interest aligned audience goes a long way.

I think one thing should be considered is their audience's trust and engagement with their content. Numbers don't matter is there's no readership/no one actually follow their content to get value.

KOL collaborations can help your product by expanding its reach and credibility.

From my experience, micro-influencers often have more engaged followers, leading to better results.

Yes, it did work. I got an ROI >2 for my last product in 1 month. But it still depends on how you calculate it. If you include the human resources you put into it, it's almost impossible to get pure income in the first 2 months, as you still need to build your own KOL library. Also, it depends on social media trends. As a YouTuber, I know what really attracts traffic and drives conversions. So, I don't let the KOLs choose video topics themselves. I let them to copy mine. This way, the data is much better. If you're interested in more details and tips, we can talk more on Twitter.

Hi Yvik, Great questions! Here’s my take on KOL collaborations: 1. Selecting KOLs: We choose KOLs whose audience aligns with our target demographic and shares our brand values. Engagement and relevance matter more than follower count. 2. Impact: KOL collaborations have boosted our visibility and user engagement significantly. Their authentic connection with their audience helps us reach potential users effectively. 3. Strategies: Involving KOLs early in product development has been very effective, creating a sense of ownership. Purely transactional relationships, however, tend to be less impactful. Looking forward to hearing others' experiences!

Oh, navigating the world of KOL collaborations is like finding the perfect emoji – it can make all the difference! Selecting KOLs with the right vibe, impact, and audience engagement can truly skyrocket your product's success like a rocket powered by social media stardom!

Hey @xspiral! 😄 I've definitely seen collaborations with KOLs make a huge difference in product success. Selecting the right KOLs is crucial—it's about matching their audience demographics and interests with your brand values. For us, focusing on authentic relationships rather than purely transactional ones has boosted user growth and engagement significantly. One key strategy that worked well was co-creating content with KOLs, making it feel more genuine. On the flip side, partnering with KOLs who don't truly align with your brand can backfire. What have your experiences been like? 😊

Cooperating with Kol is indeed an effective marketing tool, but before that, we must first do our own products well, otherwise even if more traffic is introduced, the product will not be able to accommodate it, and it will eventually be a joke...

Absolutely! Collaborating with Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) can significantly boost your product's success. Here’s why: Reaching New Audiences: KOLs have established communities of engaged followers who trust their recommendations. Partnering with the right KOL allows you to tap into this audience, introducing your product to a whole new group of potential customers. Enhanced Credibility: When a respected KOL endorses your product, it adds a layer of social proof and authenticity. Their positive experience builds trust with their audience, making them more likely to consider trying your product. Increased Brand Awareness: KOL collaborations can greatly amplify your brand's visibility. Their promotions can reach a wider audience and generate significant buzz around your product. Richer Content and Engagement: KOLs are creative storytellers who can develop engaging content featuring your product. This can range from reviews and tutorials to user-generated content campaigns, all of which can lead to higher engagement and brand recall. For a truly successful KOL campaign, it’s crucial to carefully select partners who align with your brand values and target audience. By building genuine connections and fostering long-term collaborations, you can leverage the power of KOLs to achieve significant growth and product success.

Also very interested by the answers to this question, thanks for asking it @xspiral! When studying our users (from https://www.producthunt.com/post...), we realized that a large part of them are following crypto Youtube channels on a regular basis If someone knows a great tool to find Youtube KOLs, I'm very interested!

I recently started to learn more about KOL marketing. I think it's a great start to spread out words, and increase the visibility of your products while keeping them within the budget. It's really important to research well, find the compatible KOLs so you can reach the desired audience.

Figure out the niche(s) you want to target. And then try to collaborate with smaller influencers in the niches you are targeting. They have a closer connection to their followers, driving better engagement and results, and they are usually budget friendly too. Also, usually better response and less drama. 😅

I released my app yesterday. Before the release, I interviewed about 100 people and had about 50 people use the product and give feedback. As a result, when we launched, these initial users started using and sharing the app, which quickly led to 500 users. Although the scale is still small, I feel that the strategy of creating the product together from the beta stage and experiencing the growth story together is effective. (I took inspiration from Figma's growth story.)

Kol has a certain promotion effect, but the number of customers may not be large, and there are zombie fans in social media. If you want to promote, you can try tg. Our mini APP has reached one million users in two weeks, and the daily sales rate is very high. If you need it, you can contact
