The devs have been grinding, and you want everyone to know about your project.

This is where Lever can make your life a lot easier. We’re here to make it as easy as possible to order bespoke content from a wide range of Web3 influencers, and this guide will show you how.

Begin by Crafting Your Profile to Introduce Your Brand

Your journey on Lever.io begins with your brand’s profile, the first thing a creator will look at before accepting your content request. 

👉
Pro Tip: More is more. The less research influencers have to do on your company, the more likely they are to accept your requests.

Don’t hold back when creating your profile—provide as much information as possible, and try to include:

  • Links to your docs, pitch deck, and social media
  • Current data like TVL, DAU, or any other favorable metrics
  • Your project’s roadmap and goals 

Ideally, you should weave a narrative that reflects your project’s mission and the problems you're solving in Web3. Highlight past wins, partnerships, and the UVPs that make your brand stand out before a Web3 audience. 

Lever.io’s Enhanced Recommendations Engine: Tailored to Maximize Your Campaign ROI

One of the most powerful additions to Lever.io is our new recommendations engine, designed to streamline the process of finding the right Web3 influencers.

By integrating detailed analytics and performance metrics, we now offer recommendations tailored specifically to your ecosystem and sector, ensuring your campaigns achieve the best value.

How It Works

  • Tailored by Ecosystem and Sector: Our engine prioritizes influencers that align with your project’s niche and industry, so you only see creators who are a good match for your specific market.
  • Optimized for Value: Recommendations are sorted by performance metrics, including RVPV/price, meaning you’ll be introduced to the top-performing creators that offer the best value for your budget.

Why This Matters

  • Time Savings: No need to manually sift through . Our recommendations narrow the field, ensuring you connect with the best influencers faster.
  • Better Campaign Outcomes: By focusing on influencers with a proven track record and relevance to your project, your campaigns are more likely to generate meaningful engagement and conversions.
  • Maximize ROI: The RVPV metric guarantees that your budget is spent wisely, reducing the guesswork and ensuring the highest possible return on your investment.

Refine Your KOL Search and Connect with Top Influencers Fast

Recommendations are a great place to start building your campaign, but you can also search through all of the KOLs in the marketplace.

Lever.io's search functionality is not just about breadth; it's about precision. You can filter potential influencers by niche, platform, ecosystem, and engagement metrics to find the right fit.

Whether you’re in DeFi, gaming, or NFTs, you can narrow your search down to content creators who target the kind of audience that will be interested in hearing about your brand. Here's an example: 

  • You're a DeFi project building on Cosmos.
  • You want to find influencers who are deep into DeFi but also have an audience in the Cosmos ecosystem.
  • Your CEO also wants to do an AMA.
  • On Lever, you can filter by ecosystem (Cosmos), sector (DeFi), and influencer services (AMA) to make a content request in minutes. Try it now.

No Need for Negotiation: Streamlining the Art of the Deal 

Lever.io has pre-negotiated all rates with KOLs and influencers to get you the best deals available on the market. Check out our video on how you can maximize value with creator badges, EVC, and RVPV:

When you find an influencer that meets your needs, Lever’s marketplace offers you an a la carte menu for content orders. You'll see what services a content creator provides, their upfront pricing, and when you can expect delivery.

All you have to do is submit a request! Creators should respond within 24 hours whether or not they accept your request, and you can begin sharing details about your campaign in the Lever.io chat.

👉
Pro Tips: 1. Give examples of content you’d like to emulate.
2. Clearly explain the goals of your campaign.
3. Let influencers know if your request is time-sensitive.

Fund Your Content Request and Get the Ball Rolling ASAP

When an influencer accepts your request, you’ll be notified by email and in Lever’s native chat. As soon as you fund your request, the influencer you've hired will be notified to begin working.

👉
Pro Tip: When receiving content for approval, you can select “Not Yet” and provide feedback on your deliverables. 

Your request can be funded by card (credit or debit) or stablecoins (USDC or USDT). Your funds are secured until your delivery is approved.

One great thing about using Lever is that your funds won’t be released until an influencer has delivered content and the content has been approved. 

You’re Working Directly with Web3 Content Creators

When you fund a content request, you can start chatting with influencers about your brand’s wants and needs. Here is where you can collaborate with influencers on a more granular level to make your vision a reality.

👉
Pro Tip: Longer and more detailed messages about your campaign will help influencers better craft your content.

Once an influencer submits their work, you have 72 hours to approve their content, which will be shared with you via hyperlink 

All you have to do is review your deliverables, click “Approve,” and your transaction is complete! Your content will be posted within your agreed-upon timeframe, and funding will be released.

If you click “Not Yet,” you’ll be asked to provide specific and comprehensive feedback, which will be delivered to the content creator immediately.
