On efforts on promoting my game I'm thinking of different strategies, one of them is to use influencers.
So far, they have turned out to be way cheaper than I thought, there is one with 150k followers on Instagram and around 30% engagement (which is high) that I will be hiring to start promoting the app. I will come back to tell how it went.
You can check out my game for free at https://wildsquadgame.com or going straight to App Store and Play Store and searching for Wild Squad.
Make sure to ask for analytics before working with influencers. I always get analytics on past three posts and insights into where their audience lives.
The problem with a lot of influencer pages is they get most of their impressions from explore or hashtags. You have to check their 'home' impressions are to see what you'll likely get on a sponsored post because it's not going to trend on explore / hashtags in the same capacity
It's also good to check IG story views because swipe ups can have a lot of success. Good ratio for that is 100 swipe ups for every 1,000 views
This is so true! Thanks for the tip, it will be for the next one I hire.
For this one, I didn't really have too many results sadly.
After this, I will try with https://tus10segundos.com/ which is a website to hire latinamerican influencers and have more insights and results before I actually hire them.
Do let us know how it goes! I'm curious to see the results of things like this.
So I paid an influencer in Argentina that has around 160k followers and a good amount of engagement. I was hoping to have at least a couple of hundred downloads from his post but I got less than 50.
Not a very good idea.
I'm still not sure if it was because of the post he made or maybe his community wasn't interested.
I will keep posting my findings.
