LINKEDIN POST #1 • Data Bomb
"Your influencer marketing budget is 40% wasted. Here's the data nobody wants
you to see."
Indian brands spent ₹15,000 crore on influencer marketing last year.
Average tracked ROI: 1.5x.
Compare that to:
→ Google Ads: 4-8x ROI
→ Email Marketing: 36x ROI
→ Influencer Marketing: 1.5x ROI
Why is this happening?
--------
THE HIDDEN COSTS:
1. FAKE FOLLOWERS
40-60% of influencer followers are purchased bots or inactive accounts.
When you pay for "1M reach," you're often paying for 400-600K ghosts.
2. AGENCY COMMISSIONS
Standard agency takes 30-40% off the top.
₹10 lakh budget = ₹4 lakh to agency before any content is created.
3. NO REAL ATTRIBUTION
"Brand lift" studies can't show you which influencer drove which sale.
You're flying blind.
4. CREATIVE MISMATCH
One influencer's audience ≠ your customer.
Spray and pray isn't strategy.
--------
THE UNCOMFORTABLE TRUTH:
Most CMOs know this is broken.
But the alternative wasn't clear.
Until now.
We're building something that fixes all four problems.
Pay per VIEW - not per post.

📅 DAY 2: THE FAKE FOLLOWER EPIDEMIC
LINKEDIN POST #2
"I analyzed 50 top Indian influencer accounts. What I found will make CMOs
rethink their entire strategy."
We ran an audit on 50 influencers that brands commonly work with.
The results:
→ Average fake follower rate: 47%
→ Engagement from real accounts: Under 3%
→ Cost per REAL impression: 5x what brands think
Here's what's happening:
INFLUENCERS BUY FOLLOWERS.
It's an open secret. Follower farms in Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Russia sell followers at:
→ ₹500 per 10,000 followers
→ ₹2,000 per 100,000 followers
An influencer can "build" 500K followers for under ₹10,000.
Then charge brands ₹5-10 lakhs for posts.
THE MATH BRANDS DON'T SEE:
You pay: ₹5 lakhs
Reach promised: 500K
Actual humans reached: 200K (generous)
Real engagement: 5,000
Cost per engaged user: ₹100
Compare to Meta ads:
Cost per engaged user: ₹5-15
YOU'RE OVERPAYING BY 10-20x.
--------
We're building a platform where:
• Every view is verified human
• Pay per actual view, not follower count
• Same rate for chai wala or celebrity
• Real attribution to purchases
28 days to launch.
