If you work in the blockchain, you will see how consumer trust in crypto, NFTs, and other spaces have fallen recently. Influencers can allow your brand to piggyback on already established trust and get your foot in the door with new audiences.
Finding relevant blockchain influencers on Twitter and getting them to join your blockchain community can entice their audience to do the same.
Top Tip: You aren’t searching for mega-celebrities like Elon Musk. Micro-influencers in the crypto space can be more effective brand supporters.
Running giveaways and airdrops on Twitter is a great tactic for increasing your Twitter following and building your blockchain community.
Blockchain and crypto brands often find this tactic helpful during their IDO or ICO launch. When your brand is launching you often have a small following and no established brand awareness to build on.
You can incentivise users to follow your account by giving away free tokens to followers. You can also do a big prize giveaway that every person who retweets the content will be entered into.
Top Tip: You can combine this tactic with the influencer marketing mentioned above by getting influencers to promote your giveaway.
Twitter is a platform that has embraced the blockchain and crypto communities that use it.
As such, there are great features that are available to your brand, your audience and the influencers you work with.
For example, Twitter allows creators to get tipped in Bitcoin, you can display your NFTs as a profile picture (referred to in the community as PFPs). Your audience can also display the NFTs they buy from you as their profile picture.
Crypto wallets can be linked to Twitter for easy authentication.
In 2020, Spaces was also launched. This is a live audio chat room feature. It has become popular in the blockchain and crypto space as it allows for expanded dialogue about these sometimes complicated topics.
Top Tip: Invite an influencer to participate in a Spaces conversation that you host.
