[01:02] Chinese influencers are killing the game and making a lot of money. [01:20] There isn’t a lot of good monetization through Instagram. [01:33] The US is behind China in influencer marketing. [01:52] It worked well at first, but now more people are doing and are charging a lot more. [02:40] The amount being spent on campaigns ends up being less than you spend, which is not a good use of marketing funds. [03:06] Try to find micro-influencers to get a better ROI.
