Afluencer Success Story – VELA

Nicole P. Dunford

 

Afluencer. The platform that brings brands and influencers together for money-making Collabs that can skyrocket their success.

We tend to harp on about our service. Afluencer this… Afluencer that. What can we say? We believe in this platform and we know it works. This is our baby and, well, you may think our opinion might be biased. So, instead, we thought we would let one of our customers tell you their Afluencer success story.

Raphael Founder of Vela | Afluencer Success Stories

This is Raphael. He developed and produced an awesome workout product. Next, he needed fitness influencers to help spread the word about Vela!

Here’s how Raphael, on a shoestring budget, recruited more than 100 fitness influencers in just a few months for Vela…

What challenges did you face?

One of the biggest challenges was believing in myself. Jumping into unknown waters can feel like walking in a tunnel in darkness with no light in sight. It took consistency, boldness, and the ability to continue to walk the path of believing that others would connect with the story, and the vision, and ultimately want to walk the path with me on building this brand.

Once I got out of my own way, things started to fall into place and I would see and take opportunities as they came.

How did you overcome them?

It was not an overnight thing. I would see success in bands selling, people telling me that the band is working for them and that they like how it feels, and getting constructive criticism on the brand, the messaging, and the product. All of this is helpful on the journey because I look at myself as an artist creating for people. I need to hear what people are saying to know how to move forward to create more.

What future plans are in the works for Vela?

There are more fitness products in the works, clothing, and continued affiliate opportunities.

How has Afluencer helped attract the ideal Influencer for Vela?

Afluencer has helped with attracting influencers from many walks of life. It’s been a great way to bridge the gap and connect people to the brand and product.

How has it helped you to overcome the challenges you had before?

It’s made it easier to gain influencers to get the word out about the product. It’s a true blessing.

How is Afluencer different than other alternatives you’ve tried?

Afluencer’s customer service is great. Brett and Lisa have been helpful in staying in the loop with me, introducing me to influencers, and getting things moving in the right direction.

What is your favorite feature? Why?

I love the access to influencers, it’s become easy to accept potential Collabs and move them to the next steps of partnership.

How has this product/service helped you achieve your business goals and what has your return on investment been?

It’s helped with building the influencer team and I’ve seen some revenue come in.


This is but one of many Afluencer success stories. There are so many stories of humble one-man-band startups becoming multi-million dollar enterprises through social media influencers.
