Show Notes
How to Use Influencer Marketing to Drive Low Cost Installs
The emotional appeal behind every ad we do is what makes installs organic and natural. They found your app, they enjoyed it, thereby they want to share and talk about it. We don’t plaster people with branding, flashy lights and logos everywhere. People aren’t stupid, they’ll see that and know that it’s an ad and they are done. Just like that, you lost a customer. So make your marketing organic and natural and the rest will do the work.
Big Influencers are Not Necessarily Better
If you pay Kim Kardashian $500k to post Tweets and Instagram photos for your app, you may get thousands of people to see it but the conversion rate is not essentially what it should be. People follow Kim Kardashian because she is Kim Kardashian and just wants to keep up with her but they don’t care what she post about. In contrast, influencers who are posting content daily are really just followed because people love their content. If they post something about our apps, we make it look like they are content so engagement rates skyrocket because it does not look like an ad, people care what they are posting and you are looking at a fraction of a fraction of the price.
How to Engage with Influencers When You Have Little to No Budget
It’s tough as people on social media know what their accounts are worth. It’s tricky but you can try stating that your budget is slim but you’ll pay them a percentage of the downloads they drive. Start low but expect for them to be stubborn so prepare leeway.
