I persuaded an influencer to try out my web app and it was worth it

I'm bad at marketing but very good at being persistent. I was contacting a few influencers, smaller ones, and I was very persistent. I really wanted them to try my web app. Just to see what will happen.

Most of them rejected, maybe 2 accepted, but only one really tried it out. I told him that I won't take any percentage from his earnings.

Yesterday I found out that an article was written about him and my site. I was amazed to be honest, didn't expect that at all https://theunited.news/article/this-tiktok-influencer-earned-dollar10000-from-challenges/4567
