Name your top 5 hunters who actively contribute to a startup community by giving feedback to the founders or helping with promo. I also discovered a few cases where hunters showed zero interest in the product they hunt, which makes no sense whatsoever. Here are some thoughts on why it happens๐Ÿ‘‡ โ€” Do your homework! Check the hunter's background and profile (to see what they're into); โ€” Make sure to send an e-mail or DM a week or so before the release (not the day before); โ€” Ask questions and show interest in the hunter rather than his subscribers. Make friends and partners. There's no way anyone wants to be used as a source; โ€” Give first. Try asking yourself, "why should he care?" It can give you an idea of how to start the request on a positive note with an offer (like a free product). Be personalized. Sending cold emails, DM's or templates doesn't work.

Great topic! I had once the same experience with a hunter, but I think that the best of them are really overloaded with products makers want them to post, so it may cause this effect

@fabian_maume thx, going to check them. However, rather than paying for side service better spend some time doing homework and personalised message.
