And obviously that was exciting in the jump, but I wanted to pay just as much attention to the guys that were starting to break out.
And we ended up kind of putting a gamble on that and sent some of the first and the first hundred that we made, I think we sent probably 30 of them out to like some of the smaller influencers and that landed really well for us just to have the, uh,
quantity of review videos and kind of thought process videos as well as a lot of the smaller youtubes are really trying and really put a lot of effort into those videos and a lot of time and you know have a different take than a lot of the bigger influencers do because a lot of the big influencers have the following already and stuff and they want to kind of provide entertainment value and all the above that their channels are going towards whereas some of the smaller guys are really a lot of
a lot more focused on the educational side from what we see.
So that was kind of our biggest thing was giving the smaller guys a chance.
And some of them blew up and are doing really good for themselves now that were small when we started with them.
And now they're pretty much known through the industry, which is really cool to say.
We worked with them kind of both when we were in the big, our early stages and in their early stages as well.
Yep.
Yeah.
I mean, I, and it's all, I take, you know, for the YouTubers and stuff too, it takes one, one good video or one break to really make them take off sometimes.
And I watched two guys jump from like the 5,000 follow range to like 30, 40 in a matter of weeks.
And it's like, man, it's really cool to be part of that and be able to see that.
Cause I agree the same thing I've had the smaller guys are, they'll obviously give you the video, but then they'll send you still photos and this, and they'll do the Instagram posts.
And I mean, they've sent so much stuff back and forth that it's like, it's always fun to work with the smaller guys.
And they're so personable that,
If they have a problem, usually they reach out and they, you know, or a question.
It seems like they are not afraid to reach out, ask a few questions, work with you a little bit.
Whereas the big guys, they have like one issue and they're like, I have no idea.
I'm completely lost.
