Hey Product Hunters! It's Anna, CEO & co-Founder of Lumos. I'm very excited to share our product – Lumos – a mobile marketplace application that connects social media users, influencers, and small businesses with talented mobile content creators to get photos & videos for social media. As an influencer, I always struggled to get regular photo/video content for social media since my relatives and close friends were not into it. At the same time, professional photographers were expensive for frequent use, and the post-processing time needed to be shorter. Usually, I used a tripod and timer, so the process was very long, and the photos were dull. As an artisan and small business owner, my mom had a similar problem: she wanted to showcase and promote her creations on Instagram and TikTok. Still, she needed to learn how to do so appropriately for each social media. Our platform is simple to use and has features that make it easy for users to find content creators that match their preferences and budget. Our aesthetic yet user-friendly interface allows people to browse through hundreds of talented creators, view their portfolios, and hire them to create trendy, affordable, and visually stunning content on mobile devices for their social media accounts. With modern mobile devices being powerful and accessible, Lumos is poised to capitalize on the trend of mobile content creation. Our platform provides a unique opportunity for mobile creators to showcase their talents, build their portfolios, and earn money by creating engaging content for clients who appreciate their work. By leveraging the power of modern mobile devices, we want to create a thriving marketplace where creators and clients can collaborate and succeed. Join us on this exciting journey and be part of the next big thing in social media. Download the Lumos app now and finally get photos and videos where you love yourself :) If you have any questions, my team and I are here to answer them. We are very excited to get feedback!

This is a neat idea! How do you manage the disintermediation challenge, @anka_lumos? I.e. what prevents someone from hiring someone off platform that they meet via Lumos?

Hey @rrhoover, thanks for your question! We will be charging subscription fees from creators to be presented on the platform instead of getting a fee for each photo/video shoot, so it doesn’t matter for us if they continue to meet off platform. To guarantee a sustainable revenue, creators will need a constant flow of clients, and we will be paid for providing it. Alternatively, we may charge clients a subscription fee after a trial period to get access to our creators (different plans). We will figure out which option works better

Great video, love that you didn't cut out your cats tail :) My fav videos on producthunt have always been the ones where the founder talks to the community vs a commercial For Lumos: it looks like a lot of the influencers/creators there are for Instagram/TikTok/etc. What are your thoughts on having experts in other social media platforms (like LinkedIn & Twitter)?

@daniyalbetween I was waiting for someone to notice that I didn't cut my cat's tail It means you watched at least half of the video! Agreed, and by the way this is the same reason why a lot of brands switched to more "raw" content - it feels more natural than perfect glossy commercial photoshoots with heavy photoshop. What about other social media platforms? For now we primarily focus on social media where visual content is leading. The use of visual content in social media marketing has become increasingly important in recent years, as it can help businesses to engage with their audience and build their brand, the same for influencers and even everyday social media users :)

@artiom_baloian Thanks a lot! Lumos is more for content published on social media, this is why our content creators take photos and videos only on mobile devices. For example, if you want to promote your service or product through regular posting on Reels or TikTok

Congrats on the launch & good idea, what are the payment terms? Can I hire someone on a month long contract with Lumos or are you focused on smaller projects?

@between_team thanks a lot! We have not introduced payments yet, but yes, you can work with any creator for any duration of time if they agree on that, you don’t need to sign a contract with Lumos. We are only providing information about creators and their availability. It works kind of Airbnb

Love the idea. I'm new to the area, but my good friends are in producing/media-buying here in LA, and I'll run this by them! Sounds like you're solving the chicken-and-egg problem by manually onboarding the talent in select cities. Do you have any other strategies planned?

@blake_whittington you mentioned chicken-and-egg problem and there is actually excellent material on the topic by Lenny Rachitsky: «How to kickstart and scale a marketplace business Insights from 17 of today's biggest marketplaces, including Airbnb, DoorDash, Thumbtack, Etsy, Uber and many more». It helped us to choose the most suitable go-to-market strategy for Lumos

@riadetm thanks a lot for your support! This is right, data shows that regular social media posting helps brands increase recognition and loyalty. The most viewed type of content is short form videos like Reels, TikTok’s and shorts 👌🏻
