Some days I just feel like the manipulation of product hunt is out of hand. Today is one of those days.

@andreasduess @surfy how so? Because of the double post?
Vitalii Malets
@andreasduess @surfy what do you mean by that?
Alan O' Rourke
Nice idea but when creating a campaign I see only 3 influencers for business and start-ups in English speaking countries :(
Vitalii Malets
@alanorourke, we are start our expansion, but we will collect influencers for you asap.
Vitalii Malets
@alanorourke Just checked your campaign, change the maximum price and you need to add the new category, Technology and IT, to cover audience you looking and number of influencers will be much bigger.
Artur Kiulian
nice! how do you guys differ from famebit and other players in this field?
Vitalii Malets
Thanks @arturkiulian! As Famebit and other competitors are targeted on celebrities and digital celebrities, we target on a small and medium size of influencers. We believe that in the nearest year trend of collaboration with celebrities will move to work with the bigger number of smaller influencers with the same budget. also our competitors as usual works as the agency and focus on one market, we are the self-serve platform that helps brands from all over the world find the right influencer in other countries in few minutes.

When you plan on Instagram support?
Vitalii Malets
hey @blakefolgado! In few weeks we will return Instagram to influencers. But as a brand, you can run the campaign with instagramers already today. Over 10K of Instagram accounts already connected
Ivan Dimitrov
Why do you need "Manage Pages" Permission?
Vitalii Malets
@proffi we ask "Manage Pages" Permission, because you can connect pages also to Publicfast and work with brands through connected pages and not only personal account.
Ivan Dimitrov
@vitaliimalets yeah I saw that you have stats for the pages. In my opinion tho people like me that have a lot of pages with a lot of people on them this could be a stopper in a sense the Manage Pages Permission gives you the right to do a lot with a page. Either way if Facebook reviewed your app and say it's fine that's cool :)
Vitalii Malets
@proffi Ivan, we pass the review a few weeks ago. Basically, we take open data from the page you connected and we haven't permission make the post from the page or any other accounts in social media.
Vitalii Malets
Hey, product hunters! Thanks Eric for featuring us! I am Vitalii, CEO of Publcifast. My team and I, during last 2,5 years developed influencer marketing platform that helps influencers to monetize their social media networks and also we helps brands to find and start the collaboration with the right, targeted and motivated influencers across the globe. Since we were featured in February last time our influencers network growth from 7 000 to 30 000+ influencers across Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, VK and now YouTube, and cover over 450M unique users. Brands, that use our solution growth from 60 to over 200 and we keep growing. So, what's new : we add analytics for influencers, so you can check details about Facebook, Twitter, and VK; new social networks like Youtube and Facebook pages; a new type of campaign - public , barter campaigns; list of influencers with extended numbers of filters Of course, there is much more work that we need to be done, but now we are excited to get your feedback about Publicfast. Would love to hear your thoughts! BTW: For all product owners, marketers and everyone we are happy to share extra discount fro subscription 50% for first six months, just use promo code "Iloveproducthunt" at the subscription page. PS: 50% of the budget for your first campaign on us! Join

Yuriy Shevchenko
@voon_ming_hann @vitaliimalets seems like js didn't load because of Adblock or similar. I tried to switch between monthly and annual and all works fine!
Vitalii Malets
Thanks @yuriy_shevchenko! @voon_ming_hann can you check?
Jake Tital
Looking forward on diving deeper into this product!
Saeedreza Abbaspour
What about Twitch?
Vitalii Malets
@srabbaspour streaming platform is in our focus but later. According to the developer's plan, it will happened by the end of 2017.
Naomi Assaraf 🔥
@vitalii Curious- can this be done for product hunt too?
Vitalii Malets
Hey @nassaraf! of course you can, but I think here, better to collect feedback from the community.
Daniel Holmstrom
@vitaliimalets looking forward to get started on this, and cool if you can get musical.ly integrated soon 👍
Vitalii Malets
@danttuh, hope some day we will add also LiveRing) And if you will have any question, let me know.
Saurabh Hooda
Has anyone tried this? Can you please share your campaign metrics? Want to see how effective it is before taking the plunge.
Vitalii Malets
@hooda let's connect and I can share some of our campaigns and their results. Better if you can book a time here calendly.com/vitaliimalets
Saurabh Hooda
@vitaliimalets sure. will do that. I would also look forward to some objective opinion as well on RoI of the investment on Publicfast.
Max Pecherskyi
Hi Vitalii. Great update! Congrats. What are you expecting from Product Hunt Campaign? How can the PH community help you? Drop some details here please.
Vitalii Malets
HI @pecherskyy! Thanks! The main reason why we were featured at ProductHunt, that we finish our update, by adding last update, new social network YouTube. As for the expectations, we hope to receive feedback from the community, as from influencers side, as from brands side.
eboy
What is included? Do they just post a one time comment about your product? Or is it some sort of mini campaign.
Vitalii Malets
@eboy It depends on what you want to receive, comment, review, video, photo. You can run the campaign across all social media and across the globe.
sri
Is there a way, we can test your product just once? Also what are the engagement metrics? Do u have ur own metrics or target social media metrics? Could I define my own metric and say, I am looking for registrations on my site?
Vitalii Malets
@sridhar_kondoji sure you can run your first campaign after registration. As I mentioned in the first message, $100 on us. At the Publicfast we show you reach of the influencers, their engagement in the post for last 30 days and price per post. You can choose categories, countries, social networks, age to target right people for your product. Right now you can collaborate with influencers with payment per post, but in early 2017 we will announce performance based campaigns with payment per click/install/registration/email and more.
sri
How do u measure success of a campaign? Is it engagement metrics as defined by you or by the customer or the one provided by target social media?
Vitalii Malets
@sridhar_kondoji both of use will track results, at Publicfast we show all the analytics of the campaign, all the posts with details and if you put the link for promotion we show a number of clicks. On your side, you will find the results of campaign and number of new registrations or users.
Alexander Shpilka
Wow! I was looking for such tool a few days ago. Looks awesome, I will definitely try it!
Vitalii Malets
@archiolidius let me know if you will need some help )
Andreas Duess
We frequently run influencer campaign for our clients. The tool we use to find the influencers with the greatest reach is Sysomos by Marketwire. Yes, expensive but amazingly powerful. What makes your product better?
Vitalii Malets
@andreasduess thanks for the question! As I understood, Sysomos is monitoring platform. Publicfast is the marketplace, where you can create the campaign in different social networks across the globe, write a brief (task) to influencers and get all the post from the campaign in one place. All the content is unique because influencers create it as they make a post in usual life. So basically, we help to find right influencers according to geolocation, categories, some extra filters and social media. Also, influencers get paid for their work with brands.
Andreas Duess
@vitaliimalets Sysomos is also a monitoring platform, but that's only a small percentage of what it can do. It is an incredibly powerful tool to find influencers and also calculate their reach without relying on "cough" self reporting which frequently errs on the side of optimism. Paying influencers for their work is standard practice these days - it's a media buy by any other name. I went through your platform and did run a search based on criteria we would commonly use and had very little in the way of meaningful results. I suspect that's due to limited sign-up from influencers at this stage. Many of the profiles were also empty or littered with spelling errors and grammatical mistakes. Both of these are just instant noise - the quality needs to be higher if you want me to work with your influencers on behalf of my clients.
Vitalii Malets
@andreasduess thanks for the feedback! Right now we are just started global expansion, so will be great to discuss with you opportunities of collaboration in the future talk. I will contact via email, so we can discuss everything much more detailed. As I mentioned earlier we targeted small and medium size of influencers, so brands can take bigger number of influencers with the same budget, as they can work with some sort of celebrity
Taylor Nikolai
I'm a Snapchat Influencer who's constantly looking for agencies that are working with brands. Do you think your platform can help Snapchatters?
Vitalii Malets
Hey @taylornikolai! I remember you from @garyvee #askgaryveeshow! Thanks for reaching us. We are doing our best to help such influencers as you collaborate with brands in one place with clear rules. Where you create content in your usual way, because we believe that no one can know audience better than the person whose audience this is. Snapchat is our next step, early 2017 we will announce it, so will be great reach you later to discuss what we are planning to create and will be great to hear from you what we can improve to help Snapchatters.
