How to Attract Bloggers and Influencers Towards Your Crowdfunding Campaign?
In this post, I chose to discuss on a very crucial outreach methodology most crowdfunding campaigns overlook or are not able to follow properly. What I am referring to is the blogger and influencer outreach. Also, how to make those already popular “social media mavens” get attracted to your project to a level where they would want to share or invest in it personally. Word-of-mouth marketing has always been of great importance in any campaign. In fact, if you know how to get hold of bloggers and influencers towards your crowdfunding campaign, you will be doing greater good to your campaign!
As a matter of fact, looking for the perfect influencers for your project is also a difficult task. But not if you know how to make use of platforms like Klout and Krowdster. While Klout gives your proper analysis of the followers in your profile who can be influencers (anyone with Klout Score above 60 can fall under this category), Krowdster also gives you a full on backer directory to head that way. Additionally, if you’ve got a minimum budget to spend for your campaign, it’s wise to invest in such platforms.
