All you need is Love. But launching a successful influencer campaign on Valentine’s day doesn’t hurt.

After Christmas and New Year celebrations fizzled out, some may think that the holiday season has wrapped up, yet  Valentine’s Day is the next noteworthy holiday marketers can leverage to attract social media users, engage an existing audience, increase ROI and boost their sales.

Before breaking the process into pieces, digital and social media marketers should bear in mind that Valentine’s Day campaigns don’t have to be particularly targeted at couples. Valentine’s Day widen its wings beyond just about romantic relationships, it’s about showing that you care , and you need that day to use as an excuse to give gifts to your family, friends and someone you profoundly care for. As stated by the National Retail Federation people who are celebrating the holiday said they plan to spend an average $196.31, up 21 percent over last year’s previous record of $161.96. Spending is expected to total $27.4 billion, up 32 percent from last year’s record $20.7 billion. Ponder that!

Spread the Love

Facebook is the worthy pacesetter for launching a successful influencer marketing campaign. However, ignoring the significance of the other social media platforms such as Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, Reddit etc. can cause you so much trouble even long before starting your campaign. This should be noted that being present and offering opportunities which your target audience will appreciate is the key to success. You will be the champion if you regularly interact and build relationships with existing customers while targeting prospective ones .

However, you may think that is it easy to engage with your customers through social media platforms? Well, when it comes to social media you don’t need to go off the deep end. All you have to do is share engrossing and diverse content as continually as possible.  Publishing appealing photo and video contents have tremendous benefits. They make your target audience remember you more effortlessly, because if they have a visual memory about a thing it will make them forget you more at a leisurely pace.

Let Them Know What You Do

Encouraging your customers into dialogue with you which will eventually boost your conversions and sales is one of the most essential ways to engage your customers. Certainly you shouldn’t underestimate the importance of call-to-actions. Moreover, don’t forget that you are talking to your customers on the occasion of Valentine’s Day.

  • Give your significant other something really special this year. Buy now and get 50% off.
  • You love her/him every day, but make Feb 14 a special one.
  • Your love deserves more than 30% off, order now!

Calls to action created to get an instant reaction from the target audience, and their sole purpose is to convert possible prospects into real customers and clients. If you use them accurately you will easily get new leads and prospects that will take your business to the next step.

Be Original


Whether you are a customer or brand you undoubtedly spend a lot of money in the name of love.  At least you should know that over the last year, there was a $1.6 billion increase in spending during Valentine’s Day. From the tiny box of jewelry and mesmerizing pieces clothing to dinner in a fancy and an attractively arranged bunch of flowers, people are throwing out the fortune for their significant others. Maybe that’s why Valentine’s day is a chance for brands to showcase and to persuade a customer to buy more of a product with romantic packaging. After all, we all want to feel cared and loved by the people we hold dear.

Those who will be eligible for a Land Plot will also get a chance to win a Metahut (only 20 available). The exact terms are as follows:

  • Purchase 10,000+ $METO on PancakeSwap (till Jan 25th, 11:59PM UTC) and hold for at least 45 days
  • Be among the first 5000 people to purchase on PancakeSwap and get a GUARANTEED LAND PLOT
  • Also get a random chance to win a METAHUT (ONLY 20 AVAILABLE)
  • Fill out this form right after your purchase of the 10,000+ $METO on PancakeSwap, so we can track your $METO holding

Benefits of Owning a Metahut or a Land Plot

  • Monetize your social media influence via Metahut rooms such as Shopping, NFT, or Event Room
  • Host events, engage with your audience, friends and brands
  • Create, showcase and trade NFTs
  • Design your Metahut to provide unique experiences for your guests
  • Participate in the governance of the Metafluence city

More About Metahuts and Land Plots

Influencer homes (Metahuts) and Land plots are the main architectural elements of the city and will serve as personalized spaces in the metaverse. Owning Metahuts or Land plots will provide benefits including discounts, rewards in form of NFTs or voting power within the ecosystem. While both, Metahuts and Land plots provide certain benefits, Metahuts are very limited in comparison and offer more value. Owners of the Land plots will be able to upgrade the plots to Metahuts over the time.

Metahuts are metaverse homes consisting of multi-purpose virtual rooms: Event Room, NFT Room, Shopping Room, and others. In terms of the features, Metahuts will have more or less rooms based on influencers’ SM audience size, however, any Metahut features or assets, including the rooms can be obtained with an additional expense or upgrades. The rooms are personalized spaces within Metahuts, and they will allow influencers to better monetize their SM influence, engage closely with their audience and brands in the Metafluence ecosystem. The Metahut rooms are as distinct as follows:

NFT Room will allow influencers to showcase or sell NFTs that they created or own.

Event Room will allow influencers to hold public, private or premium events with their audience. In-room events can be held in collaboration with other influencers.

Shopping Room is a special place where hosts can set up their own marketplace for digital and physical products and collaborate with brands through sponsorships.

Game Room will allow influencers to display their game collection, make recommendations, and sell certain games through affiliate partnerships. Visitors will be able to see and download the games from the official sources.

Crypto Room will allow influencers to display and support their favorite crypto projects.

Custom Room is a solution (usually for bigger influencers or celebrities) per request and this type of rooms can be constructed by the Metafluence team.

At the early stages, a limited number of Metahuts and Land plots will be granted to influencers and early adopters, and this campaign specifically aims to onboard our most loyal community members.

We have a tremendous community of 250k+ people across all of our channels, and once again, we would like to express our immense gratitude towards our community and wish you all the best!

Metaverse, Blockchain & Social Media – New Social Identities

Influencer marketing is on track to account for more than 80% of all ad spend in the next five years, making it quite literally the hottest thing since sliced bread. At the same time, metaverses and decentralized social media channels are springing up, backed by some of the biggest companies the world has ever seen – even Facebook is joining the game. The time has come for these two industry trends to merge, and when the merge begins, there’s incredible potential for influencers and blockchain-powered platforms to conquer the digital space.

Keepface – Powering the World of Influencers

Nobody knows the world of influencer marketing quite like Keepface. Keepface currently has more than 550,000 influencers on its books, unlocking access to more than 1.4 billion eyeballs. Some of the biggest companies in the world have already taken advantage of this impressive portfolio, with names like Oral-B, Lays, McDonald’s, Danone, and Pepsi cashing in on that potential.

The key to success with an influencer marketing strategy is to use a data-driven platform. Picking the right influencer for the job is the hardest part of influencer marketing, but Keepface allows you to eliminate all the guesswork, leaving brands and projects with the best influencers to push their products.

The same goes for influencers. Keepface matches you with brands that are after audiences identical to yours. This takes out the fear of content not being in alignment with the brand, allowing you to do what you do best – create high-quality, high-converting content that your audience loves.

What is the Metaverse?

The Metaverse is a digital realm for the uninitiated, where people can become anybody or anything they want. It’s a digital landscape that lives on a blockchain. Think of the Metaverse like a videogame. There are already a few in existence, but hundreds more are in development and are launching every day. Metaverses allow you to play games, interact with other players, buy and sell digital land, collect NFTs, and become anyone you want.

This means a fantastic opportunity for influencers to start exploring the Metaverse. Many Metaverses allow players to deck out their characters using NFTs from collections or specific NFTs from that metaverse. A great example of this is Decentraland. You can kit out your character with unique clothing items and even win exclusive clothing items from in-game events. When Atari launched its casino in Decentraland, you could claim exclusive Atari t-shirt NFTs.

Perhaps you want to become a land baron; that’s possible too. You can buy digital plots of land and build whatever you want on them. Maybe you want to build a bar, a maze, a casino, or even a park where you can hang out with your friends. Whatever you dream, you can make it a reality. Heck, you can even buy land, throw up billboards and rent out the space just like you would in the real world.

Where do influencers fit into the Metaverse? It’s pretty simple. Metaverses are still incredibly young, which means they need to raise awareness. NFTs can sell for tens of thousands of dollars, so there’s big money in the Metaverses. Every new user and player that signs up could bring in a small fortune to the project behind the Metaverse. Competition is relatively low from an influencer point of view, as the Metaverse world is still so young. That means that getting into Metaverse influencer marketing now is the most lucrative avenue you can pursue!

Meet Metafluence – The Influencer-Centric City in the Metaverse!

Metafluence, a subsidiary of Keepface, is laser-focused on helping influencers break into the Metaverse scene. We bridge the gap between traditional influencer marketing and the Metaverse, tearing down those scary barriers and helping you get into the action. Influencers often face challenges like a shortage in data-driven solutions, fraudulent social media activities, and payment issues. So, we at Metafluence heavily believe in the power of blockchain technology to resolve these issues. We’ve created a safe world where influencers and brands can interact and benefit one another with all records immutably recorded and stored on the blockchain.

The goal of Metafluence is to empower influencers towards monetizing their influence while exposing brands to the world of blockchain and Metaverse. Influencers and brands can partake in real-time discussions, secure payments safely using escrow services, and track results in real-time that are immutably stored on the blockchain. Using the native $METO token, both influencers and brands can feel safe when teaming up in Metafluence, one of the first blockchain and Metaverse-focused influencer marketing agencies.

Metafluence is more than just another agency where you can sign up as an influencer. It’s a full-blown metaverse that allows you to interact with brands in a whole new way. This allows you to sell yourself, your identity, and your audience on a whole new level, squeezing even more juice from your social following than ever before. Metafluence is the tool you NEED to take your influencer marketing efforts to the next level in the blockchain and Metaverse world.

When you join Metafluence, you can take full advantage of all the tools and features. These include:

·  Metahuts

·  Metaclans

·  Metarooms

·  Events

These tools allow you to have a safe space in the Metaverse to call your own and allow you to showcase your talent, following, and reach. Micro-influencers can use Metaclans to team up with other influencers to bid on projects that are slightly beyond their reach, allowing them to continue growing and evolving in the influencer marketing world. Metarooms allow influencers in the Metaverse to showcase and trade their own NFTs, which is a world first!

We will have a special education program for influencers and brands to explore the potential of Metafluence, and we are planning to onboard thousands of metaverse curious influencers in the coming months.

Are you ready to take the plunge and join the Metaverse? It’s still a young niche, and there’s a lot of leverage that you can provide to the biggest metaverse and blockchain projects, allowing you to supercharge your earning potential.

All it takes is a click.

How to Choose the Right Influencer for Your Brand: Promoting Your Clinic

You have just opened your own clinic. You have it in the right location, close to your target audience. You have the equipment and the right staff. You will surely feel confident that it will succeed because you have many years of experience as a medical professional. However, you will still need a marketing plan. Even the biggest and the best hospitals and clinics require marketing.

There can be so many approaches. You can advertise in the local newspapers, medical directories, and journals. Don’t ignore digital marketing, especially social media, because this is giving better returns in many ways in recent times. Social media marketing can be very important for the success of your clinic. Here are some key business and marketing tips that can show you how to use Instagram to make it work.

What Kinds of Instagram Influencers Are There?

Influencers in Instagram

Influencer marketing is very effective. In 2020 alone, it has grown by an impressive 57%. This is why it is critical that you work with the right influencers.

Instagram influencers can be divided into two groups:

  1. By the number of followers
  2. By content type
  • Those having more than 200,000 followers are Macro influencers.
  • 25,000 to 200,000 followers are Power influencers.
  • Those with less than 25,000 followers are Micro influencers.

Macro or mega influencers are usually the celebrities. These people are very much active and highly visible on social media. They also generate a lot of engagement. The Power influencers are just a little behind. Many of them are well-known professionals, thought leaders, and television personalities. Micro or nano influencers offer a narrower reach, but the engagement is often high.

Consider the content type when you want to appeal to a niche audience. For example, you may want to leverage credible Instagram profiles to reach out to photographers, chefs, models, gamers, etc.

How much should you spend on an influencer? There is no specific rule about this. But the generally accepted formula is 100$ for 10,000 followers. So, if your influencer has 100,000 Instagram followers, you may have to make a payment of 1000$.

How to Find the Right Instagram Influencers for Your Brand?

Searching for influencers through a laptop

There are two reasons why the number of followers is important.

  1. You can calculate the fee for sharing content about your clinic.
  2. You can also calculate the avg. engagement rate for the posts.

When you work with influencers on Instagram, you are depending on their ability to say a good word about your business, which will reach a large section of the population because they have many followers. But you also want good engagement because this is where influencer marketing will give you the edge over traditional marketing. This engagement will come when they comment on the post, like it, and visit your profile.

Here’s a way of calculating the engagement rate:

  • Add all forms of engagement on the post – likes, comments, shares.
  • Divide the total/by the total number of followers
  • Multiply by 100

On average, the engagement rate in 2% for each post. If it is anything lower, then you are not working with the right influencer. Find a new person for your social media business marketing.

Influencer Metrics

Influence coefficients in Instagram

The number of followers should be the main consideration while selecting an influencer. It is generally believed that the influencers who can give you the best results are those with the maximum number of followers. However, this is not always right.

Let us take an example to understand this better. Let us assume that you run a clinic for Botox treatments. You find two influencers – 

  1. Someone with more than 50k followers. Most of the Instagram followers are teenagers.
  2. An influencer who only has 15k followers but 80% of them are in their 30s or 40s and most of them are females.

If you just look at the number of followers, then you will end up targeting the wrong market segment. When you select the right influencer (the second option), your overall reach may be less, but you will still reach out to the right market. So, when selecting the influencer, you should focus on more than just the numbers.

Figure out the Relevance with the Influencer’s Niche

The magic pill how to find influences people

Best, try to find influencers who have some relevance with your industry. It is going to be very beneficial for you if you can find such people. For example, if you are offering Botox treatments in your clinic, try to find Instagram influencers who have already opened up about getting Botox treatment. Luckily, you will find many of them like Cindy Crawford, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kim Kardashian, Nicki Minaj, Britney Spears, Nicole Kidman, Vanessa Williams, and Brooke Shields.

They would all be right influencers for your clinic. Try to find out whether any of these celebs or others like them are looking to collaborate. They won’t have to go overboard selling your business. All they need to do is just say that Botox treatment is very effective and safe. One simple statement can go miles in giving your customers the confidence they need.

You can also approach local beauty influencers, those who are active on Instagram and have a decent number of followers.

While selecting the influencer, always narrow down the specific category. For example, those who have opted for the Botox treatment will always give you better results than just random beauty influencers.

Analyze the Influencer’s Previous Marketing Campaigns

The Correct Analysis of Marketing Campaigns

There are two more considerations:

  1. Analyze the influencer’s previous marketing campaigns.
  2. Make sure that you avoid the Influencers that are walking advertisements. There has to be credibility. Otherwise, the message is going to be lost. It simply won’t be effective.

Never analyze just a single campaign. Always check several marketing campaigns and collaborations of an influencer. Avoid people who have endorsed or promoted the business of your competitors. You can be in trouble if you don’t look at these details. If your followers find this out, then you and your brand won’t appear authentic.

Also, avoid the influencers who would recommend brands too often. You will find influencers who promote several brands in a month. Their profiles have already become oversaturated. The audience is sure to get confused about what to follow. They won’t buy.

Also, remember, when you collaborate with an influencer, you are essentially tapping into the person’s reputation. So a bad reputation is also going to rub off on you.

Choose the right influencer for your brand to reap the full advantage of influencer marketing. Look at the numbers but also give audience engagement and other key factors the importance they deserve.

How to Make Your Influencer Marketing Campaign Successful During the Holiday Season

We have said goodbye to Black Friday and Cyber Monday. They are not long gone, yet they opened the way for the upcoming Holiday season. Yes! If we take Christmas and New Year into account December may be the best time for influencer marketing campaigns. Despite the fact Covid-19 pushed us into our homes, still when we scroll through our social media feeds Christmas vibes surround us with its thrilling beauty. Not excited? What about if we say that your Christmas Influencer Campaign is already wrapped up, with a bow on top! In order to make our customers comfortable we’re making it simple for you. We’ll manage everything, so you can focus on having your biggest Christmas ever.

Psst! We have something for you

How-to-Make-Your-Influencer-Marketing-Campaign-Successful-During-the-Holiday-Season
Holiday season has knocked upon our door. Several brands took this opportunity and have already started to plan ways to leverage their businesses. To attract customers attention with product promotions, discounts, seasonal promotions, deals is just part of the job. As we know it is not that easy to affect the purchasing decisions of others. At least not without an insight on the matter. When you, as a brand, think that you’ve stepped into a hard path influencers walk onto the stage and save the day.

A Social media influencer or influencer marketing terms are far from being buzzwords. Right now almost every brand is aware of the fact that those right influencers are the ones who can reach their target audience, build trust, and drive engagement. Just to make it clear, meeting brands and audiences demands is not an easy process and clearly doesn’t happen overnight. Finding the right influencers to work with for your Christmas campaign can be as hard as giving the perfect present for your loved ones. 

 

Word of Mouth is a Campaign Saver

How-to-Make-Your-Influencer-Marketing-Campaign-Successful-During-the-Holiday-Season
Wasting your precious time and money on a marketing campaign which is doomed to fail is just sad. Make sure you fully analyze and determine the influencers that are best for this campaign is worth the time and effort. It can be easy to fall back on simply looking at the number of followers an influencer has. But this is a poor way to judge whether someone will be a good fit for your campaign. The right influencer creates original and engaging content. Their authority over the matter and relationship with their audience make it possible for them to affect the purchasing decisions of others.

 

 

We all may agree that during holidays, especially Christmas, marketing is mainly driven orally. A huge chunk of consumers trust recommendations from friends and strangers over other marketing channels, so it’s clear the big opportunity this Christmas lies in word of mouth marketing. One of the key points to make your campaign successful is to boost influencers’ holiday contents across channels. Instagram is beyond successful, we agree, but it doesn’t mean that everybody is a fan of it.

 

 

Fake Social Activity Trend

How-to-Make-Your-Influencer-Marketing-Campaign-Successful-During-the-Holiday-Season
In all sincerity, we are obligated to tell you the truth. Without professional help it is almost impossible to find and hire the right influencer. Having way more followers than an actual capacity of an influencer is an ordinary situation now. More specifically fake social activity and fraud make it really hard to run an effective influencer marketing campaign. Yes, almost every influencer is active across so many social networks and yes, they also generate so much content but yet it’s not enough. However the assessment of influencers – their authenticity, audience, effectiveness and engagement, is hardly possible.

Countdown to Christmas

How-to-Make-Your-Influencer-Marketing-Campaign-Successful-During-the-Holiday-Season

Let your imagination run wild, certainly doing something out of the ordinary can help your brand stand out from the ocean of holiday campaign posts and brand promotions. 

 

Engaging your audience on a deeper level is the best way to create a truly unique campaign. If you want to capture your customers attention and get more meaningful engagement with them, you need to start advertising with them, rather than advertise at them. Show your customers that what you are trying to get in this influencer marketing campaign doesn’t base on simple holiday purchases. You are selling them an experience, not just a product. 

 

At last we would like to reveal one more secret. Oh, these magical, ravishing holidays. We wish they never end but as every beautiful thing you are also doom to end. First Christmas then New Year. Yet how about extending your marketing campaign beyond Christmas Day? Many customers expect lower prices beyond the holidays, so they would be delighted to continue their holiday shopping even after the holiday season. So here we all could say, after having the great influencer marketing you can cross one out from your New Year resolutions. 

Ready to kick some goals this holiday season? 

Get to work! 

May your campaigns be merry and bright!

5 Benefits Influencer Marketing Can Offer to Your Business

Today’s marketing landscape is highly varied and full of options. Companies and businesses are straining to keep up with trends and figure out what marketing investments actually move the needle. Sometimes they succeed, but many times they waste precious time, energy, and resources. 

There’s a better way: the rise of influencer marketing has made available a highly profitable marketing strategy that, when done right, can significantly change the way your business finds and connects with its audience.

What is Influencer Marketing?

“Influencer marketing” refers to enlisting influencers, individuals who have curated a social media following within a particular niche or interest commonality, to market your brand or product(s).

The Benefits of Working with Influencers to Market Your Business

Including influencer marketing in your business’s marketing mix can be a lucrative strategy for optimizing your marketing efforts. Influencer marketing has been shown to create several strong advantages for companies that do it well:

  • Influencer marketing boasts a strong return on investment. Studies and figures estimate that influencer marketing can yield a return of $5 or more for every dollar spent. This figure also has the potential to be increased substantially because unlike other forms of marketing, influencers often accept compensation in the form of product discounts, samples, and reciprocal promotion outside of monetary compensation.
  • Influencer marketing can yield higher quality leads and customers than other marketing channels. This is thanks to the deep, cultivated relationships influencers develop with their audiences that make consumers more likely to readily accept and engage with brands or products influencers recommend. This can lower customer acquisition cost, shorten onboarding time and resources, or increase revenue per customer when using influencer marketing to source leads.
  • Influencer marketing garners significantly higher social media engagement than in-house social media content. Social media engagement makes up a significant portion of average consumers’ time and influence, especially in younger audiences. Because influencers are experts in social media engagement, using influencer marketing can help your business thrive in this playing field much more quickly and efficiently than trying to develop your social media marketing game in-house.
  • Influencer marketing can help you broadcast data-driven stories. Using data to tell a story or share a compelling message is vital to many marketing efforts. Doing this well requires creativity, narrative mastery, and aesthetic appeal. Influencers work in these currencies already, and rely on their talent for storytelling and creating compelling content to be successful. This makes influencers a huge asset when crafting a campaign – especially one that relies on data or using data points to convey a message.
  • Influencer marketing can keep your company in front of trends. Engaging in influencer marketing requires engaging with the trends influencing your markets. Influencers can provide a huge asset for your company or business because they expose you to the heart of emerging trends. Engaging influencers to market your brand gets your company closer to the epicenter of your market and can also provide critical insight into what trends may emerge in the near future.

Tips for Getting Started

If your business or company is interested in employing influencer marketing, here are a few tips for how to move forward:

Look at Existing Influencer Campaigns in Your Vertical or Industry 

Take a look at what your competitors are doing. Look at best practice for similar verticals. Gain an understanding of what’s already being done and how your company might either emulate or improve on current trends.

Identify the Market or Market Segments You’d Like to Reach 

Influencer marketing can be hugely varied but tends to center on particular demographics more strongly than others. It’s important to define the possible ages, geographic locations, gender(s), interests, and other identifying features of markets you’d like to reach. Make sure the influencers you might engage have active audiences that match the needs of your business.

Gather and Then Refine a List of Potential Influencers 

Do your research and prospect a wish list of promising influencers whose content, storytelling, and personality might fit well with your brand, before making contact. This will help you craft your pitch and have a better idea of what your business needs are so that you and any influencers you speak with can more quickly gauge a good fit.

Create a Clear Project and Proposal 

Working with influencers should be navigated intelligently and strategically just like any other type of marketing. Thinking through your objectives, assets, timeline, strategy, and deliverables will make the experience much easier and more profitable for everyone involved when you decide to engage an influencer to help you with your marketing.

Test First 

Not sure if influencer marketing is a good fit? Unlike some more traditional forms of advertising, influencer marketing can be tested and tweaked using modest resources and can provide a low-threshold alternative to other marketing channels that make it easily accessible for a range of business types.

Whatever your business’s size, needs, or industry, influencer marketing could prove a highly lucrative marketing strategy and create significant gains and growth if done right. Now is the time to explore what difference influencer marketing might make for you.

The Rise of the Global Sales Phenomenon: Black Friday

We are at the eve of one of the greatest shopping day of the whole year. I believe some rings already rung on your mind. Yes, we are talking about that magnificent day, aka Black Friday.

Black Friday is the first Friday of the week which comes after U.S. Thanksgiving holiday, but as a citizen of the world, we grasp that day’s meaning differently. In brief, we see it as a day full of discounts and special shopping deals. Moreover, given the fact that December is filled with holidays, Black Friday could stand for the beginning of the holiday shopping season. This can be mentioned confidentially that this very season plays a crucial role for not just the economy of the country, but the whole world. The ascending interest for Black Friday is plain as a day.

Just like 2020, this year as well, coronavirus pandemic loomed over the annual shopping event. For those who think Black Friday is a tradition, restrictions became a quite vexing problem. However, when it comes to discounts who can stop the shopaholics? eCommerce sales reach its climax when many retailers put their Black Friday deals and discounts online.

Enough with shooting the breeze, let’s dive into the serious stuff. Why this day play a tremendous role in the economy and how social media effect to the efficiency of Black Friday.

The Creation and Evolvement of Black Friday

history of the black friday

There are two occasions where the term Black Friday has been used and surprisingly they have a little connection whatsoever. First one’s history goes back to 1869, when financier Jay Gould and railway magnate James Fisk attempt to put gold market through the hoops to hike the prices. However, that plan backfired and in September 24, pass into the history as the date of financial panic. These implacable Wall Street financiers’ conspiracy unraveled on Friday and that event resulted with bankrupting everyone, from cashed up barons to penurious farmers.

Right now most commonly used Black Friday term is refer to the day after Thanksgiving, which is often considered the first day of the holiday shopping season and is known for featuring discounts from retailers. However, why choose the black color to express a quite jolly day, and is there any specific reason hides behind the selection of Friday out of all week?

The thing is retailers are the ones who kind of formed that tradition. During the year, retailers were marking their loss with red color, and black, on the other hand, was symbolized the profit they made. Moreover, supposedly on the day after Thanksgiving sales would go into the black , because holiday shoppers spent so much money on discounted products. We don’t know for a fact that retail companies used to record losses in red and profits in black when doing their accounting, this version of Black Friday’s origin is the closest version we have to the truth.

First Things First, Change

social media

Social media plays an irreplaceable role to drive the traffic towards online shopping. Coronavirus pandemic changed the whole worlds approach towards their traditional behaviors. That has been said that, this year 62% of the customers keep themselves away from entering to the actual store on Black Friday. This a good sign, at least we can be happy that people have the awareness to protect themselves, yet is it interfere with the astounding success of Black Friday? Certainly, not, because eCommerce fill in for the physical loss.

If you want to drive referrals to eCommerce sites you need to know which one could be more beneficial for your business. Although Facebook leads the queue, Instagram and Pinterest are the ones which are the most context-specific influential social media platforms.

Here comes one more necessary detail: If your focus is young audience, more specifically, Gen Z TikTok will be the gateway towards your aim. Snapchat and Twitter can seem left behind, but when you are roll up your sleeves to prepare your social media plan for Black Friday bear them in your mind too.

Everything Changes if One Thing Changes

Online shopping

At least once in our life all of us have seen a footage where people are literally marching into the stores at the crack of dawn. Pushing and pulling, fighting over an item or walking all over the things which stands on your way. Seems familiar for many of us, yet that is not the worst part at all. The destruction that these so called customers leaves behind evoke the scenery from post-apocalyptic movies for salespeople.

Fortunately, more and more, consumers are choosing to shop online. When we pause a little and think who would want to wait outside for hours or have an actual fight over the last most-cherished item? These all were happening years ago, but the coronavirus pandemic pushed shoppers online more than ever in 2020.

Tomorrow will be the biggest Black Friday ever for eCommerce sellers. Thereby don’t let anything hold you back or stir your vision. Try to make the most of it with social media, email marketing and advertising. Engage with your audience and stay true to your brand, success will come to you when you take the law in your own hand.

How To Become An Influencer In 2021

Are you wondering how to become an influencer in 2021? If yes, then you are not alone. With the growing popularity of social media platforms, more people are starting to realize the importance of becoming an influencer. 

Without any doubt, social media influencers are in high demand and popular these days. People follow them, brands want to collaborate with them, and they become a known face in no time.

Are you wondering what influencers are? An influencer is someone who has millions of followers on social media and whose recommendations are followed by brands or individuals. Further, influencers can be skilled individuals, groups of industry leaders, travelers, sportspeople, and other professionals.

There is also an increase in influencer marketing as it gives marketers direct access to an influencer’s loyal fan base. Following these tips will help you become an influencer in 2021 and beyond.

Find Out Your Niche


The first step is to identify the niche as it is an essential part of your journey as an influencer in 2021. The niche should be something that allows you to showcase your skills and help you grow them further.

When deciding on to become an influencer, you have the following categories to choose from:

·  Travel

·  Health

·  Fashion

·  Gaming

·  Food

·  Lifestyle

·  Phone reviews

·  Market reviews

·  Entertainment

·  Tech and more.

But you don’t need to limit yourself to one niche, according to your interest and skills, you can combine two or more niches. You can even turn your hobby into an influencer, which you can read more about here: https://keepface.com.

Choose Your Platform

Now, the next step is to decide or pick the platform to cover your niche on social networks. There are Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Pinterest, LinkedIn, and many more platforms that you can use to become an influencer with your niche.

If you desire to create videos of travel or any other niche, then YouTube or Instagram is the best option. On the other hand, for blogs and content in a niche, LinkedIn is the best choice.  

 Media like Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram are especially successful for fashion, lifestyle, travel, and beauty. The key here is to choose a format or social media network according to your niche. Also, you should get a domain name for your channel or blog. You can check premium names from trusted sites like https://domainify.com/.

Create High-Quality Content


Keep in mind that the “content is king.” High-quality content is really important to become a successful influencer. So, think about how you can create good content that is related to your niche.

Make sure you will need to offer value to your audience through the content so that people feel connected with you and wait for your next content piece. You will get attention only if you offer what the audience wants.

Be Authentic and Consistent


People can follow you or see you only if you are consistent with your work as an influencer. No one likes a person who is not authentic and consistent. Your followers will unsubscribe you or forget you over time if you fail to regularly offer them good content.

Majority of the audience of influencers follows them because they put so much effort to be the best version of themselves. Moreover, they always brace themselves to meet the expectations of their followers. Being honest and authentic is somehow part of the game. Because once they get caught while cheating or double-dealing you will fall from grace overnight.

Listen to your viewers

Another best way to become a perfect influencer is to offer what your audience wants. For this, you can search your niche on Google and find what kind of content people like. After this, determine the long-tail keywords used by your audience and create content similar to them. You can also make use of social media platforms to understand the taste of your audience.

Their Turn To Shine: Micro Beauty Influencers

I don’t know how many of you will agree with me but right now make-up is like a way-out, not just for beauty influencers but for many of us from troubles of the world we live in. Given the fact that 2020 was a complete mess, and unsurprisingly 2021 is on the skids, things are not going smoothly for us. Deadly pandemic, global movement for racial justice, wars, illnesses, feminine, stock market crash, wildfires and many more. However, in our little, shiny worlds we try to escape from the world’s brutality in different ways. 

Maybe that will sound a bit cheesy but make-up unites us. Besides, I have proof to support my opinions.

Hello, You Beautiful Things

Whether you are into make-up, beauty topics or not, we all have heard the name of “ Huda Beauty”. An Iraqi-American make-up artist and entrepreneur Huda Kattan founded her brand Huda Beauty with her sisters, Mona and Alya. That woman is the true definition of determination because she turned a $6,000 loan into a billion dollars business. Struggles, disappointments, exertions burn into ashes and she just remembered that the passion was her true north. 

The Dutch make-up artist, Nikkie de Jager could also be a great example to prove my point. De Jager, better known as NikkieTutorials, made it known that she was threatened and blackmailed by people who had knowledge about her true identity. They were bullying her by leaking  her story to the press. However, it all backfired because after Nikkie’s coming out video her make-up community supported her cordially.

Both of these marvellous women are quite popular, yet there are countless number of micro influencers who made a name for themselves on the beauty topic and are high on the agenda because of their make-up tutorial videos. Nevertheless, have you thought about why make-up and beauty topics set the wood on fire? If the answer is negative then let’s find out together.

Black Days in the Bright Era

Unfortunately, things were a bit more severe in the past. During the second world war production of cosmetics diminished and it was subjected to the luxury tax. make-up announced as lessening morale and putting interest in people’s appearances. Buying beauty products condemned by so many during the economic recession.

Beauty and make-up topics are a little bit controversial from the beginning. Even right now, in our current era,the Cenozoic, if the amount of product you put on your own face or body is not appropriate for some, you will be criticized, marginalized or even abused by a complete stranger.

Despite all those condemnation, in our social-media era, we are not using make-up to diverge, we are using it to communicate, to make ourselves heard. Increasing interest over make-up and beauty topics are not coming from quarantine weariness, it is a safe haven from brutal realities. Besides, if something is making both creator and viewers happy, why drill it with questions.

Beauty Shines Through The Flaws

Before occupying ourselves with the speculations about what are the trends thriving amongst niche beauty micro-influencers on Instagram at the moment, we should raise our heads and take a look around. Everyday we pass by far too many fashionably elegant and sophisticated women, on the crosswalk or at our local cafe, yet most of the time never give our attention to their appearances.  Because organic make-up, astounding colors on upturned eyelids, flashy lip glosses on full lips, breathtaking voluminous hair shouldn’t slip beneath the radar. 

Whether you’re a brand who wants to find the best matching beauty influencers or just a beauty addict knowing who shows the maximum effort to deserve being your brand face or mentor is your right. In our list we have collected more than  2000 high quality beauty, make-up influencers from the US who will be the best match to carry out your marketing campaign. Moreover, their signature style and devoted following will make sure everything will go smoothly during and after the campaign.

Her page isn’t dedicated to just simple hair or beauty hacks, she shares her view on products she used firsthand, events she attended, even you can find a segment where she posts about food and wine, even DIY included into her site. Despite the fact that she has a lot on her plate, yet her engagement rate is 11.51%. 

Now time to talk about another wonderful example of a micro beauty influencer, Madeline Torres. This young mother regularly shares compelling posts on her Instagram account. She has 58.6K followers and her engagement rate is 4.16%. So, if you have a brand that wants women who just bought a life into the world to feel included in the beauty topic, you should give it a thought to collaborate with her too.

5 Adımda Makyaj İnfluencer’i Olmanın Yolları

Güzellik konusunun sağlık ve sıhhat ile birlikte insanların listelerinde üst sıralarda olduğunu fark etmiş olmanız gerek. Sağlıklı olmanın yanı sıra genç ve güzel görünmek istememiz gizleyebileceğimiz bir şey değil. Güzellik alanındakı fenomenlerin sosyal medyayı şekillendirdiğini ve en son pazarlama trendlerine hızlı bir şekilde uyum sağladığını görmemek mümkün değil.

Kendinizi güzellik alanında görenlerden biriyseniz, daha spesifik olarak, diğer insanlar için ilham kaynağı olacak kişi olmak istiyorsanız, o zaman doğru yerdesiniz.Bu adımları izleyerek, bir güzellik influenceri kariyerine sıfırdan başlayabilirsiniz. Hadi o zaman, ne duruyoruz, işe koyulalım, işte ipuçlarınız.

Paylaşdığınız İçeriği “Kraliçe” Yapın

Hiç kimse ilk denemede bir makyaj dehası ya da cilt bakım gurusu olmanızı beklemiyor, ama sonunda bunu da yapmanız gerekecektir. Kitlenizin sizi ciddiye almasını istiyorsanız, cilt bakımının arkasındakı temel bilimi veya saç ve cildi etkileyen farklı bileşenleri bilmeniz gerekir.

Saçlarımın daha hızlı büyümesini nasıl sağlayabilirim? Makyaj fırçaları nasıl temizlenir? Rutin cilt bakımım ne olmalıdır? Göz çevresindeki kahverengi lekelerden nasıl kurtulabiliriz? Tırnaklarımı nasıl güçlendirebilirim?

Tüm cevaplar sizden bir tık uzakta. Zamanınızın çoğunu araştırmaya harcayın ve ardından takipçilerinize göz alıcı bir şekilde sunun. Bununla birlikte, sınırlarınızı  aşmak istiyorsanız, bu konuyla ilgili derslere, güzellik kongrelerine ve hatta seminerlere katılabilirsiniz, bunlar sizi en son trendlere güncel tutacaktır. Güzellik endüstrisinde de yeni araştırma ve teknolojiye her zaman dikkat edin.

Bir güzellik influencer’i olmak sadece her seferinde şık görünmekle ilgili değildir. Aynı zamanda mükemmel ürün ve endüstri bilgisine sahip olmak, lansmanlar, güzellik hackleri ve en son saç ve makyaj trendleri ile güncel kalmakla ilgilidir. Başarılı bir influencer olmak için, pazarlamanın püf noktalarını ve sosyal medya platformlarını anlamanız gerekir.

Nişinizi Doğru Seçin

Hepimiz güzelliğin çok kapsamlı  bir konu olduğu konusunda hemfikir olabiliriz ve sadece tek bir kişinin güzelliğin her yönünü bilmesi mümkün olmayabilir. Genel bilgiye sahip olmak en iyisidir, ancak çabalarınızı odak yönünüze koymak daha iyidir.

Ekstra para kazanmak için bazı güzellik ürünleri satmak isteyebilirsiniz, ancak enerjiniz cilt bakımı, saç bakımı veya daha dar konuları hedefleyebilir ki, kitleniz sizi bu konuda guru olarak görecektir.

Niş bir kitleye sahip güzellik influencerlerinin, kozmetik ve moda markalarının ürün tanıtımı için dikkat ettikleri kişiler olduğunu bilmeniz gerekir.

Sosyal Medya Hesaplarınızı Geliştirin

En önemli sorulardan biri, takipçilerinize nasıl ulaşacağınızdır? Bu soru için güçlü sosyal medya platformları geliştirmeniz gerekiyor.

Bu kısmı ciddiye almak çok önemlidir, çünkü para kazanmak istiyorsanız, bunu bir iş olarak yapmak zorundasınız. İlk olarak  kendinizi daha sonra ürün ve hizmeti satmak gerekecektir.

Asla İnstagram ile sınırlamayın. Kanatlarınızı açabildiğin kadar açın. Kendinizi görünür, yararlı, aktif, kalıcı, ulaşılabilir ve erişilebilir hale getirmeniz gerekir. İçeriğiniz takipçilerinizin isteklerini yansıtmalı ve onların istedikleri içeriği vermek için dinleme becerilerinizi kullanmanız gerekecektir.

Kendinizi bir marka haline getirmek oyun değiştiren bir eylemdir. Seçtiğiniz renk, stil, içerik vb. insanlara sizin özel biri olduğunuzu düşünmenizi sağlayacaktır.

İçeriğinizi ilgi çekici ve paylaşılabilir hale getirin. Takipçilerinizin yararlı ipuçlarınızı başkalarıyla paylaşmalarına teşvik edin. Ayrıca, hashtag’ler sizin için bulutları temizleyecek, içeriğinizi kategorize etmenize yardımcı olacak ve doğru hashtag’ler anında size daha fazla takipçi kazandırabilir. Birçok güzellik şirketi mikro influencer’lerle işbirliği yapmak istiyor ve çoğu zaman #discoverunder10k kullanıyor.  

Bir şey daha, bariz #güzellik, #makyaj hashtag’leri artık yararlı olmayabilir. Bunların yerine, #organic, #instamakeup, #ciltbakımı, #IGciltbakımı #bakımzamanı gibi hashtag’ler kitlenizin Instagramda paylaşımlarınızı atlayıp geçmesi yerine özel ilgi alanlarına göre bulmasına yardımcı olurlar.  

Hesabınızı en son trendler, ürün fotoğrafları ve benzeri ile karıştırdığınız sürece hangi sosyal medya devini seçtiğiniz önemli değildir. Daha fazla platform, daha fazla insan demektir. unutmayın. Günlük mesajları paylaşmak, kendinizi aktif tutmak kendinizi bu nişe adadığınızı hissettirecek ve bu işi ciddiye aldığınız için takip edilmeyi hak eden kişi siz olacaksınız.

Karışmak Yerine Öne Çıkın

Bu sektörde vizyonulu bir güzellik influenceri olduğunu iddia eden milyonlarca insan var. O zaman seni bu insanlardan farklı kılan nedir? Neden özelsin? Tüm bunların yanısıra yaratıcı olmak için beyninizi kullanın, kendinizi rakiplerinizden ayırın. Denemek istediğiniz fikir daha önce kullanılmışsa, size Pablo Picasso’nun bir keresinde çaldığı bir cümleyi hatırlatmama izin verin: “Amatörler ödünç alır, profesyoneller çalar”.

Benzersizliğiniz, herkesin kendilerinden bir şeyleri bulabileceği paylaşımlarınız, ipuçları ve püf noktalarınız, güncel ve modaya uygun içeriğiniz, ilgi çekici ve çeşitlendirilmiş konularınız ve düzenli bilgi akışınız sizi diğerlerinden farklı kılan özelliklerdir.

Markanızı Tanıtın

“Aman Tanrım, markam yok” diyebilirsin, ama bizim sana cevabımız şudur ki “tatlım, sen bir markasın.” Kendini çılgınca tanıt.

Bir avuç takipçi için itibarınızı feda etmeyin, her zaman takipçilerinizle aranızı iyi tutun. Kitleniz sizi fark ediyorsa, yaptığınız her şeyi fark edecektir: iyi, kötü ve çirkin 

İşe koyulmak için şimdiden daha iyi bir zaman mı var? Artık güzellik influencer’i olmanın yollarını biliyorsun. O halde ne bekliyorsun? Kollarını sıva ve işe koyul.
