Launch week was exciting. Signups came in, early DMs were encouraging, first feedback calls went well. Then two weeks later I looked at the usage data. About 30% were using it daily or a few times a week. The other 70% had tried it once and disappeared. The ones who stayed weren't obviously different on paper similar job titles, similar described problems, similar onboarding. But they were different in one behavior: they all found a specific moment in their day to use the product before the end of week 1. The ones who churned tried it in a few different situations, never settled on a use case, and faded out. For others who've shipped a beta: did retention come down to product quality, or to whether users found their specific ""moment"" early? And if the latter did you try to engineer that, or did you just spot the pattern in hindsight?

Been wondering about this for a while do casino streamers actually win in the long run, or is it mostly just for content? A lot of what they show are big wins, but statistically that can’t be the full picture. So I’m guessing most of their income comes from outside the actual gameplay. I did see one example of a streamer who talks a bit more openly about things (I think his name was [Dian Vegas] (https://dian-vegas.com/) , found a site about him while browsing), but even then it’s hard to tell what’s real. Curious if anyone here has looked into this more seriously or has data on long-term profitability.

We ran a test. Same campaign brief, same target creator profile, same volume. Template emails: 3-4% reply rate. Personalized (referencing a specific recent video or post): 12-18% reply rate. Three to four times the difference. The problem is the personalization takes real time you have to actually watch or read their content. At 50 outreach emails that's hours of work before you send a single message. Has anyone found a middle ground that preserves reply rates without the manual overhead? Or is this just the cost of the channel?

Testing nano influencers alongside paid social for a few months. CAC is genuinely lower around 40% less than Meta. Engagement converts better, feels more like a recommendation than an ad.

But the ops are brutal. Sourcing, personalizing outreach, follow-up, tracking who's negotiating vs ghosted it all adds up. At our current volume I'm not sure the CAC advantage survives once you factor in the time cost.

Has anyone actually made this channel sustainable without throwing headcount at it?

Not asking about which platform to use. More about the actual criteria.

We've been filtering by follower count and engagement rate but that still leaves us with a list of 200+ that someone has to manually review. Looking at recent content quality, audience fit, whether they've done brand deals before it takes forever.

What's your actual shortlisting process? Are you setting a threshold and trusting the numbers or is someone actually reviewing each profile?
