If used correctly, NFT influencer marketing will help you supercharge community
growth on Twitter and Discord.

My first experience with building brands started long before Web 3.0 in
2017 when I founded and grew the world’s fastest growing engineering
community Worldwide Engineering, to 1 million followers on Instagram.
The two worlds have since collided with the explosion of Web 3.0.
I've co-founded AI NFT art project NAIA, and have since helped over 25
NFT project founders build and market their collections.

Projects would use their growing Discord numbers to attract more buyers via
Discord Collabs.
During the bull-market, the entire job of Twitter and influencer marketing was to
funnel people into Discord. However, during the bear market, the entire strategy
has shifted...

During the bear market, NFT projects now need to fight a battle on
two fronts, Twitter & Discord.
The strength of a project's Twitter brand now acts on its own to turn interested
prospects into minters, while also funnelling extra curious people into Discord.
If you want an in depth deepdive of the NFT Marketing Funnel, how it works in
2023, and how you can apply it to your project, I've made extensive video about
this topic on my YouTube Channel.

BEFORE
Before the bear market, project tweets would follow direct-response marketing
principles. They asked people to take action now.
Observations:
Tweet formula: Hook + CTA + Hashtags.
Tweet images typically consisted of NFT profile pics.
Tweets was a giveaway to either WL spots or cash prizes.

NOW
Now, during the bear market, influencer marketing has been performing much better
when used to build brand recognition. Here are the types of Tweet that that now perform
best:
Observations:
Branded & storytelling focused.
Tweet images typically consist of storyboards.
No Call-To-Action.
Little to no hashtags.
Hack: Through countless experimentations during the bear market, we’ve noticed that
storyboards when compared to pfps tend to perform 35% better in terms of results &
engagement.
Don’t hesitate investing resources and time in the creation of Storyboards, it pays ;)

N.1 Buy your way in
The more you pay the more you grow. This strategy involves prioritizing
marketing by spending lots of money on influencers and other marketing
efforts. This can lead to faster results, but are A LOT more expensive. This is
a path most commonly used during the bull run.
Which is why I’ve recommended the hundreds of NFT project founders I’ve spoken
with to go with the second option (BUILD YOUR WAY IN).
Unless you own an illegal money printer in your basement, buying your way into
the market as of January 2023 will cost you a lot of money.
Buy Your Way In strategy worked great when FOMOing into projects was the
norm. The faster you could build your community, the more hyped your project
would be.

WHY DO WE DO THAT?
There's this concept I learned from my Web 2.0 marketing days while scaling one of my
e-com brands from 0 to 6 figures in 15 days.
It says that the average customer will need to see your product 7 times before they
decide to make a buying decision.
Most NFT influencers have botted audiences. But some, the very rare, actually have real
people with active audiences following them.
By paying these influencers to RT your Tweet, you are actively putting your product in
front of potential buyers.
By the 7th time they see your product, art, and storyline, prospects are much more likely
to trust your brand, and decide if this is something they want to be part of.
We only work with influencers with a respectable % Global Reach. This is a pretty
strong indicator of the health of the organic reach of this influencer.
We then use our metrics to gage and influencer's BFB Ratio (Bang for Buck Ratio).
The influencers that made it to the next sheet are the ones, in no specific order, we
calculated to have the best BFB Ratio

Unfungible.xyz doesn't have any financial or personal affiliation with any influencers on this list.
The rates of these influencers constantly vary with the market and price of crypto.
I recommend using NFTinspect.io to keep track of the top performing influencers in Web3.
Influencers often fall and are replaced by new names.

Marketing to supercharge your project!
These are the same strategies we've used with our client and in-turn have helped my
company become the fastest growing NFT Marketing Agency in Web 3.0.
Now you may be asking - how can I make sure that I actually EXECUTE this strategy the
right way?
Because it’s one thing to know a strategy, and it’s an entirely different thing to actually
