Influencer marketing is one of the most effective ways to grow your app. But before you can leverage influencers, you need to understand how they work and what makes them effective. 

In this post we'll explore how to use influencers as a tool for boosting downloads, with insights on finding the right influencers and leveraging their relationships with followers in order to increase organic installs. Let's dive in!

Strategically leverage relationships with influencers in order to see results.

Influencers can be a great way to get your app the attention it needs, but you need to leverage relationships with them strategically in order to see results.

Influencers help you reach new audiences and build your brand. They act as trusted advisors for your audience, so when they recommend your app, people often trust their judgment more than if you were simply advertising yourself on social media. This can lead to higher conversion rates for downloads or sign-ups because people trust what influencers say about products or services more than ads from brands themselves.

If you're looking for ways to use influencer marketing as part of your app strategy, here are some tips:

Make influencers feel included in the development process.

Make them feel like they're part of the team. You want to make your influencers feel like they have a stake in the app, so try not to make them feel like it's all about their name on a list. Instead, invite them into your development process as early as possible and give them a voice in the creation of your app. This will help build trust between you and the influencers, which is crucial for future collaborations.

Step out of your comfort zone to find the right influencer.

Once you've found your influencers, it's time to reach out. You might be nervous about reaching out to someone you don't know personally, but keep in mind that most influencers are incredibly friendly and helpful—after all, they enjoy helping others!

When reaching out to potential partners, sending an email or direct message on a social media platform is a great way to get started. Make sure your outreach is personalized and thoughtful: remember that the purpose of this contact is for them to want to work with you! In this first contact (or whenever possible), try asking whether they'd be willing to collaborate with your app by sharing their knowledge and expertise through content creation.

Allow influencers to use their creativity.

When you work with influencers, you're working with people, not robots. Influencers are individuals who want to use their creativity and individuality to make a difference in the world. They want to be given a chance to show off their skills, so give them that chance!

Allow influencers to use their creativity: One of the best ways you can encourage influencers is by allowing them creative freedom with your product or service. Don't stifle their creativity by refusing them access or having strict policies about things like what they post on social media. Letting them have fun while they do what they love is one of the best ways for them to build up trust with their audience and create content other people will enjoy too—which means more downloads for your app!

Don't forget about product fit.

When it comes to leveraging influencers for your app, don't forget about product fit. Product fit is about understanding your product and how it fits into the influencer's audience.

If you want to get the most out of your influencer marketing campaign, make sure that it's relevant and offers something useful to their followers. If they recommend products or services that aren't a good match for their audience, they're likely going to lose credibility with them (and maybe even drive away some fans).

Give influencers a deadline for effectiveness.

There is one more very important thing you must consider: giving them a deadline to complete the task. It's great that they are willing to help, but there's nothing worse than having someone promising something and then forgetting about it.

In order to be successful with influencers, you need their input at different stages of the campaign. You should ask them for feedback on your app before taking it viral and also after sharing it with everyone in order to get their thoughts on how it went (and if they think anything needs improving). Influencers also have significant reach when they share content on social media platforms like Facebook or Twitter; therefore, we highly recommend asking them when they will begin sharing your post with their followers as well as how long until this process will be complete (e.g.: "We would like our post shared by July 15th").
