Influencer Question of the Day:

What are 30-50 UNIQUE pieces of UGC from INFLUENCERS worth to your business?

(THREAD on how to source this cost effectively)
2/ Let me propose a second question to you:

How much is it worth to have organic social posts from 30-50 influencers with 10K-100K followers?
3/ One final question I think you’ll appreciate:

How can you avoid making a $50,000 investment & reap all of the above?
4/ Let’s address Question #1 to begin with...
5/ I think we can all agree that if you were to have 30-50 UNIQUE pieces of creative produced on behalf of your brand that this would be worth & cost a minimum of $25,000.
6/ To reframe this, think about what it would cost to have 30-50 UNIQUE pieces of content created via a studio shoot…

Worth noting: Let’s also keep in mind how quality UGC performs against studio shoot assets when running it within FB/IG ads.
7/ Now let’s address our second question:

How much do you think it would cost for organic social posts from 30-50 influencers with 10K-100K followers?
8/ I think we can ALSO all agree that whether you went through an influencer agency, that represented talent, or directly to 30-50 influencers asking to pay them for posts, you’d AT LEAST be forking up $25,000.

Let’s be honest, this is conservative.
9/ FINALLY, let’s address the most important question:

How can you get 30-50 influencers posting on behalf of your brand and get usage rights to ALL of this content at a FRACTION of the costs laid out above?
10/ The strategy laid out below will lend itself to...

NOT paying $25,000 for 30-50 micro influencer posts

NOT paying an additional $25,000 - with full usage rights - for 30-50 UNIQUE pieces of quality UGC/creative assets

NOT Paying a TOTAL of $50,000!!
11/ Laid out below is a strategy that will lead to 30-50 influencers (10K-100K followers) posting and granting usage rights for FREE.
12/ This is not click bait…

Execute the below strategy EXACTLY the way it’s laid out before trolling this post.
13/ If you’ve been following me, this is nothing new, but I can’t harp on it enough…
14/ Steps to Success:

Identify & Reach Out to 300 influencers in hopes of seeding your product to them- NO STRINGS ATTACHED.
15/ Let each influencer know that you think they’d simply love your product and you want to get it in their hands.

Have them send you their address and you’ll get your product shipped out to them right away.
16/ Again, no strings attached- you aren’t asking them to post in exchange for product, compensation, any sort of sponsorship, etc.
17/ This will lead to...

Relationships built on giving, not asking.

Relationships that are relational, not transactional.

Relationships that will have immediate and long-term, compounding value.

Relationships that lend itself to genuine brand community building.
18/ It will also lead to...

Relationships that will generate FREE Organic Social Posts and UGC for your brand to use across your distribution channels.
19/ Let me continue…

From the 300 influencer outreaches, our team typically sees 100 influencers opt-in to receive product.

From the 100 influencers that opt-in to receive product, we typically see 30-50 people post organically on their social handles FREE of cost.
20/ Even though we seeded the product “no strings attached”, 30-50 influencers posted organically for FREE and of their own FREE will.
21/ Once influencers post, send them a follow up message...

“We’re so glad you loved the product we sent you that you shared it with your audience, we’d love to share your content with our audiences as well, could we have the rights to do so?”
22/ Many micro influencers will grant usage rights to brands when they start the relationship in this way 🙌🙌
23/ So one more time for the people in the back...

NOT paying $25,000 for 30-50 micro influencer posts

NOT paying an additional $25,000 - with full usage rights to - 30-50 UNIQUE pieces of quality UGC/creative assets

NOT Paying a Total of $50,000
24/ 30-50 influencers (10K-100K followers) posting and granting usage rights for FREE.
25/ More on how to properly go about seeding influencers:

How we scaled Animal House Fitness from 0 to $1M in 4 months through the use of INFLUENCERS (THREAD)
2/ Product seeded 100+ influencers before ramping up any marketing spend (I.e. FB & IG Ads).
3/ A note worth mentioning:

When product seeding, our team doesn’t contract influencers or ask them to post in exchange for product, we look to build genuine relationships with them.

After effectively mass “INFLUENCER seeding” your product, how do you track which INFLUENCERS organically posted without spending hours on manual social scraping? (Thread)

**Video Tutorials Included**
2/ If you missed this thread, this is how we’ve experienced the greatest level of success in building out the foundations of an influencer program via MASS INFLUENCER seeding:

3/ That said, once you’ve seeded your product to 100+ INFLUENCERS, your team’s influencer lead may ask,

“How do you expect me to have the time to manually look up every influencer who posted on social while also putting together a report on their organic analytics?!”
