Wisio: The What, The Why, The How
What
After several years working closely with social media influencers of varying platforms, verticals, and audience sizes, I’ve found there are 4 main goals driving influencers in their activities, in no particular order:
- Authenticity
- Growing their reach
- Keeping their audience engaged
- Making money & monetizing existing activities
Wisio is the first tool of its kind enabling followers to receive invaluable knowledge, feedback, and validation, specific to them, from the influencers they look up to most, and in return support those same creators monetarily. On Wisio, followers can pay to request a review, tips, and advice on how to advance themselves, allowing the influencers to monetize their expertise while creating a real relationship with their followers.
Why
Influencers are experts in their fields, with vast and unique knowledge to share with the world. As people who love watching YouTube videos to learn and perfect our own skills, we wanted to enable creators to make a living in a worthwhile and authentic way, while providing customized guidance to people everywhere around the world.
This is why we developed Wisio, to facilitate direct contact between followers and influencers, learn from their experiences while acknowledging them for the valuable time and efforts put in.
Wisio’s platform focuses on the followers’ specific needs and challenges, and thus creates a much more meaningful, personalized teaching relationship.
How
Creating a profile and responding to requests is super simple and quite enjoyable; let’s run through it:
- Claim your creator profile: We recommend using the YouTube login to streamline the process*
- Make It Sparkle: Create a welcome video to greet your page visitors. It should be short and to the point explaining what service(s) you provide and the format to be expected (hint: a 3–5 minute long custom video) and inviting your page visitors to submit a request.
- Promote Yourself: Share your profile link on all your social media platforms, letting your followers know they can get a custom feedback video from you. We highly recommend mentioning your services and how to request them at the beginning and/or end of your social media videos\posts. Bonus: We’ll hook you up with a personalized banner you can use to promote your services in the best possible way.
- Get Requests: Your followers will be thrilled they have the opportunity to contact you and learn from you on a personal one-on-one basis. We know creators like you are super busy which is why requests are limited in text length and time (video and voice notes limited to 2 minutes), and it’s quick and easy to reply back with an unedited video from any device (up to 7 minutes from desktop and 3 minutes from a mobile)
- Earn Income: Withdraw your balance at anytime**.
