[Product Hunt]( [Read in browser]( [This newsletter is brought to you by]( Another weekend of the Elon Musk show is now playing on Twitter. One thing we learned is that he’s for sure working to increase the tweet character limit from 280 to 4,000. [Thoughts](? PRODUCT HIGHLIGHT [Testing an influencer strategy]( Last week we talked about [AI going mainstream]( thanks in part to a not-so-little app call [Lensa](. It's [now]( bringing in over $2 million per day from selling AI-generated avatar images in packs starting at $4.99. Whenever there’s a breakaway hit like this, makers working on like-products contemplate virality. [@levelsio]( launched [Avatar AI]( weeks earlier and has certainly seen success, [recently]( surpassing $250k in revenue from over 6k customers. But the “indiepreneur” also reflected on learnings. One of them? Don’t be afraid to hire influencers: “[Lensa] did massive influencer outreach and paid 100s-1000s of them to post their avatars (seems like but unconfirmed ofc)," @levelsio tweeted, "...we had no experience doing this, and again counted too much on organic.” A platform to help: If you’ve also never worked with influencers or creators before, it’s tough to know where to start. A timely new product called [Ties]( caught our attention. Makers and marketers can reach out to a creator within the Ties community, or send a creator a link. The tool lets you test out creators and track your performance so you can focus on high-performing partnerships. Terms like pricing and content requirements are defined through Ties to streamline the process for you. Creators using [Ties]( benefit from protected payments and they can send counter offers to terms. Companies on Ties can furthermore offer recurring deals to creators to strengthen long-term relationships. Using influencers or creators does not equate to virality, so don’t miss the forest for the trees, but do consider your strategy and stack before diving in head first.
