Welcome to the last day of April… you made it :-)

Here’s your list of queries from journalists who are willing to publish your brand for free in exchange for a little advice :-)

As we’ve learnt from recent happenings such as TikTok country-wide bans, it is more critical than ever for brands to diversify marketing. You can also get exposure by giving your products to influencers to test them using Stack Influence

Want to scale up your new product launches into listings that make $100K+ yearly revenue in less than 2 months?

Use the platform Stack Influence to automate Micro-Influencer collaborations at scale (get thousands of collabs per month) and boost your Amazon launches, generate UGC, and scale up your brand awareness like never before.

Top Amazon brands like Magic Spoon, Unilever, and MaryRuth Organics have turned their new Amazon product launches into listings with monthly revenue on pace to break $100K over the year.

  • Pay influencers only with products (stop negotiating fees)

  • Increase external traffic Amazon sales (get to top page rankings)

  • Get full rights image/video UGC (build your brand with authentic content

  • 100% automated management (don’t lift a finger to get influencer collabs at scale)
