Looks GREAT will sign up.. Thanks

Excellent, I look forward to you joining us. We're very receptive to feedback, so as you use the system if you find that you'd benefit from an added process, click the on-page help, take use the screenshot app, and leave us a note. The more times something is requested, the higher it gets on our dev list.

Just signed up for Enterprise. Looking forward to working with @Intellifluence

This is much better than having to source influencers yourself.

@Diamond Damien - Thanks for posting, you definitely added to the credibility of the service.

Hard not to love that!
 
Looks good. Signed up as well.

Wondering if you might have a template of pitches that we can use? I am not too good at pitching to be honest. Would be great to use a few set of templates to get things going.

Keep in mind that everyone in the system is is warm (i.e. they have signed up specifically to work the opportunities they are interested in) -- thus, you can keep pitching really simple and straightforward.

"Hey,

Based on your filters I think we may be a fit here. I'd like to offer you $__ and send you ____ which is worth $ ____. In exchange, what I'm looking for is ____ on _____ with a posting deadline of ____. If that works for you, please click accept and we can get started. Cheers."

I think we can probably include pitch templates based on KPI type though; I'll add it to the dev list.
 
@CyHead
No one's claiming it's a new method. I work with our Enterprise members as part of their membership status. All revenue supports the forum.
Besides the Enterprise member fee ($500/m or whatever) do you receive any extra money from working with @Intellifluence via a commission, equity stake or anything else?

It’s just that I’ve never seen you (or whoever posted for you) review/ endorse a thread in such detail & be explicitly mentioned on the banner ad that brought me here.

Thanks for the question @elavmunretea - It's always me that posts from the DD account - remember duplicate accounts are a bannable offense ;)

Helping to develop products is something that I do with our Enterprise members and as a business since 1996 (yep - started young!) . Each deal is unique but always goes towards keeping BHW free for all - HOWEVER the integrity of my account and the forum far outweigh any financial benefit that we get offered. We've been open for JV business for many years and always looking for new partners to work with. In this case there was a disconnect between what @Intellifluence was offering and the opportunity on the table, we helped close that gap with the link building method I outlined above. Once we worked out the details and checked all were cool we ran some intensive testing. Then shared this opportunity with BHW.

But that's enough from me I don't want an infraction from @Zwielicht for thread hijacking. Feel free to pm me if you have other questions about working with BHW in the future.
 
I am trying to decide between Plus and Pro plan. As a small ecommerce seller in a "woo woo" metaphysical niche, what do you suggest? I could use more video testimonials, product reviews, Amazon reviews, instagram followers, power pinterest repins, others to run contest giveways to promote my products, and referral traffic, etc. I am sitting on a ton of product and don't mind shipping samples.

While the Pro plan offers 10 simultaneous campaigns to the Plus's 3 simultaneous campaigns, the biggest other differentiation is you can keep your campaigns private on Pro. That said, based on the various overall promotions you want to do, start with Marketplace Plus -- all brands have the option to archive campaigns so you could do an Amazon review push (which will do insanely well) while also doing one for blog links, and another for Instagram...and can archive one to start the Pinterest campaign when you're ready.

That said, this is a permanent discount, so the 75% off is for whatever plan you choose before Jan 5th. If you do think you're going to want to be running more than 3 simultaneous campaigns, you can lock in the discount on Marketplace Pro and have pretty much everything you're probably going to need. We had an Enterprise signup a little while ago for exactly that reason...brand wasn't sure if they needed it just yet, but it was cheap enough in comparison to where they might be in a few months that they opted to do it. I think either way it'll end up working out for you; it is just going to depend on how much you envision doing at any given time.

I don't think he accused you of having two accounts, enough said on that point.

The content in your review/advert sounds nothing like anything you have posted before, the tone is completely different. I find it hard to believe you wrote this.

If you are getting paid as part of this JV and you are concealing it from the forum to further enhance the legitimacy of your review, that's a bit of a silly trick to play. It will only do the following:
  • ruin your credibility with more of these posts in the future
  • cause a lack of trust between members and brand you're trying to promote
  • completely distracts members away from the sales thread to talk about this nonsense instead of the product
I don't think anyone cares if you're getting paid, you're getting paid for everything on here. But concealing the JV aspect of this (which would have been well hidden if the OP didn't drop the ball) to try and make your review look more real is terrible.

Kind of makes you look like you sold out.

It's a review - I don't write many so unsure how it WOULD "sound like something I've written before".

There is no "concealing the JV aspect" as I clearly state in line 4 of my review.
I've been working with the guys @Intellifluence on this since the middle of this year.

Totally agree -
  • completely distracts members away from the sales thread to talk about this nonsense instead of the product

As previously mentioned - enough about the JV's lets keep this relevant to the thread. PM me with any thoughts about JV's If you'd like to work with us I've covered that here.
 
Hi, thank you for the opportunity!

I have some small AMZ comparison sites and I am always looking for backlinks.


Here are my questions:

· This kind of community is good for outreach inphograpics for get backlinks?

· If I subscribe for Marketplace Plus I can send my request to 50 influences but for basic plan this is not possible, so how can outreach with basic paln?

· With Marketplace Plus I can have 3 campaigns concurrently, it means I can outreach to 50 influencers to get guest posts for : smartphone infographics, Router infographics and hard disk infographics for 30 days. Is this true? Then after 30days I can start other 3 campaigns. Is this true?

· Last question: If I subscribe now for basic plan with 75% discount, and then I decide to upgrade to Marketplace Plus I will get the 75% discount?


Thank you for your answres

So I can start with Plus and as long as I upgrade to Pro before Jan 5th, I can still get the 75% discount?

While the Pro plan offers 10 simultaneous campaigns to the Plus's 3 simultaneous campaigns, the biggest other differentiation is you can keep your campaigns private on Pro. That said, based on the various overall promotions you want to do, start with Marketplace Plus -- all brands have the option to archive campaigns so you could do an Amazon review push (which will do insanely well) while also doing one for blog links, and another for Instagram...and can archive one to start the Pinterest campaign when you're ready.

Is it possible to pay blogger to insert retargeting code for their visitors? Maybe say $10 to insert a line of code in the body section of that specific blog post? This way we can collect data on relevant visitors and then remarket to them through facebook ads or similar. Will help a lot for media buyer in reducing their cost of advertisement.

That's an interesting thought. While it may be possible, if I were the blogger I'd be hesitant to do it for just $10 though. You can certainly try, just be very upfront what you're trying to do.

So OP states; " It varies significantly; some influencers are willing to perform reviews for the cost of product; some with 1m+ audiences won't do anything for less than $1000."

Yet you're saying with some of these people, they're willing to drop links in for $10 / $20

There are some in the network that will work for that little; looking at our data, I think the lower costs of links is coming from taking an old post and updating a bit of text to a hyperlink -- articles w/ a link are going to cost more because they are more time intensive, regardless on the Power Trust score of the blog.

Two things.

1. Has anyone from this site tried this ? If so what is the rate of success?
2. Why arent some free trials (if even 5 day trials) allowed for persons here. The major players of this type of offering does this.

1. We have 2,500 brands using us right now; the rate varies because you do have to do some work like setting up your campaign and responding to influencers, at a minimum. You'll have a greater success in any warm influencer network than with cold outreach, so long as that network covers the category you're interested in.
2. The short and honest answer: we don't have to + taking off the free trial and offering a much larger corresponding discount that goes with a teaser plan allowed us to eliminate the fraud that comes with free trials offered on blackhatworld. With the 75% permanent discount coupon code you can use the Marketplace for under $3/mo. There are over 300 influencer marketing networks and agencies I'm aware of; the big ones are now Tapinfluence and Intellifluence, neither of which has free trials.

Lifetime deals ???

Yes, actually. We're running a deal in coordination with BHW on the 12 days of Christmas. Use '12days' and you take a permanant 75% off on the plan you sign up with. More here: https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/influence-is-the-new-link-buying-75-off-lifetime-discount.996385/

Some good questions there:
1. If you have an infographic that is relevant to the bloggers you're interacting with on the platform, yes, you absolutely could use it and let them know you want to embed the IG on their blog in exchange for money.
2. The Marketplace plan is designed for inbound only campaigns; on that plan you cannot outreach -- based on the filters of a campaign the influencers reach out to you. It is priced at $9/mo as a way to offer as close to a free trial as possible, to see the basics of the platform without committing much. The Marketplace Plus plan is the first plan where you can pitch influencers + receive their pitches.
3. The 75% coupon is valid only for the plan you sign up with. Since this is BHW, the spammier workaround would be to sign up with one email on the Marketplace plan, determine it works...cancel the plan...and then sign up for the Marketplace Plus plan using a different email [all before January 5th]. Note that the Marketplace Plus plan w/ discount is only $14.75/mo, so it is less expensive than any of our credible competitors.

So I can start with Plus and as long as I upgrade to Pro before Jan 5th, I can still get the 75% discount?

My antivirus is blocking the landing page, what do i do ?

I have no idea why it is blocking your AV.

Same questions with Berta. This is a very interesting offer.

Answered above. Thanks; I don't know that I'd ever do a deal like this again -- it is an odd feeling to be simultaneously signing up agencies paying $900/mo through our traditional sales channels while arguing with someone on a forum that $2.25/mo is in fact not too expensive of a test.
 
All I can say is... this looks like a helluva offer. For the cost of a few cold beers, I can tap into a warm market that should, in theory, help spread word of my stuff far and wide. Talk about a time and energy saver! While I work on building up my socials, I can do end-runs to get instant exposure/endorsement in a serious way, for a fraction of the time/cost it's going to take for me to get there on my own.

Thanks OP! This is YUGE.

I believe you've nailed it. With platforms like this there's so much that you can do that explaining it accurately is a challenge. Some manufacturers use us for pre-launch product testing, some brands use us for social proof across a few different networks and display that social proof based on traffic source origination, some use us purely for reviews, some so they can focus on social sales, some for reach/branding, some for amplification of existing efforts, and for BHW some for the linkbuilding aspect of it.
 
72 hour bump. Just a reminder that the coupon code '12days' will expire on Jan 5th, so if you're thinking about getting a 75% permanent subscription discount on Intellifluence, do so before Saturday.
 
Thanks for bringing such a great deal here! Went ahead and signed up, will be digging into the platform this evening - it looks excellent so far!
