How to find the right KOL for your Web3 project promotion in 2025?
When promoting your Web3 project, you will inevitably have a headache: how to let more people know? Traditional advertising is generally ineffective, and you don’t know who to ask for help on social media. Many project parties were full of enthusiasm in the early stage and couldn’t wait to cooperate with KOLs, but they found that they chose the wrong KOL: either the fan group was not interested at all, or the KOL had a shallow understanding of Web3 and could not really convey the value and concept of the project. In the end, the marketing budget invested did not bring the expected results, but wasted precious opportunities.

Why choose KOL for promotion?
KOL (Key Opinion Leader) is like the best “storyteller” for your project. They use their enthusiasm and real experience to convey your Web3 ideas to fans. Their charm lies in their ability to instantly close the distance with fans — — A well-made post or a lively video can ignite the interest of thousands to hundreds of thousands of people. For example, in 2024, Unstoppable Domains worked with a KOL to let users feel the value of decentralized domain names through 500,000 interactions, and sales increased by 30%. The power of KOLs is not just exposure. They use their trust to add points to the project, making fans say: “This looks good, I have to try it!” This is the key to their becoming a bridge connecting you and the community.
Several types of KOLs
KOLs are rich in variety. Different types of KOLs have different characteristics and are suitable for different projects. The following are several common KOLs:
Practical suggestions for finding the right KOL
Finding the right KOL requires some patience and skills. Here are a few detailed suggestions to help you get twice the result with half the effort:
Clear your goal: Think clearly about what effect you want to achieve first. Do you want to quickly increase users or increase brand awareness? For example, if you promote a GameFi project, the goal is to attract 100,000 players; if it is a ReFi project, it is more focused on attracting 50,000 users who care about environmental protection. With a clear goal, the direction of finding KOLs is clear.
Identify your audience: Knowing who your users are is key. Young NFT collectors are active on the X platform and like short videos; environmentally conscious ReFi users prefer in-depth Discord discussions. According to data, 70% of Web3 users are concentrated on X and Discord. Knowing where they gather can help you accurately locate them.
Lock on the platform and study habits: Different platforms have different ways of playing. The average interaction rate of Web3 tweets on the X platform is 15%, which is suitable for rapid dissemination; YouTube is suitable for long video explanations. For example, Unstoppable Domains attracted 80,000 views through a 10-minute tutorial by a YouTube KOL. Studying the posting frequency and interaction style of KOLs on the platform can help you choose the most active partners.
Evaluate the real influence of KOLs: Don’t just look at the number of fans, the interaction rate and the quality of fans are more important. A KOL with 50,000 fans but a 10% interaction rate will be more effective than a KOL with 100,000 fans but a 1% interaction rate. ChainPeak Pro can help you analyze these data and recommend KOLs with a 90% match, saving you the trouble of searching everywhere.

Key mistakes to avoid when choosing KOLs
When choosing KOLs, you may fall into pits if you are not careful. Here are some common misunderstandings, remember to avoid them:
Only look at the number of fans, not the interaction: more fans are not necessarily useful. Focus on the ratio of comments and likes, and be cautious if the interaction rate is less than 2%. If a KOL posts and no one responds, no matter how many fans he has, he will not achieve the promotion effect.
Lack of data tracking: Not evaluating KOL performance can easily miss optimization opportunities. Not evaluating the effect of cooperation may lead to waste of resources. It is recommended to pay attention to key indicators such as click-through rate.
Ignoring long-term cooperation: Only pursuing short-term exposure and ignoring long-term relationships. One cooperation may bring 10% user growth, but continuous cooperation can steadily increase activity by 30%. It is more cost-effective to choose a KOL who is willing to deeply understand the project.
Ignore audience feedback: If you don’t pay attention to the real reactions of fans, you may easily choose the wrong direction. Read the comment area more often to understand the needs of fans, so that the cooperation can be smoother.
Over-reliance on a single KOL: It is too risky to pin all hopes on one KOL. If a giant KOL temporarily withdraws, the project may lose 50% of its exposure. Diversified selection, such as matching micro and medium-sized KOLs, can reduce risks and achieve more stable results.
Why marketing agencies are the best way to cooperate with KOLs
The process of finding KOLs by yourself is really cumbersome: you spend several days screening the list, but find that many KOLs either don’t reply or the quotation exceeds the budget; after trying hard to contact, you may face the embarrassment of fans not buying it or poor results. Not to mention the waste of time, the budget may also be wasted. Marketing agencies, especially professional teams like ChainPeak Pro, can completely solve these pain points. First of all, we have a KOL network covering the United States, Vietnam, South Korea and other countries, saving you 80% of your time cost, so that you don’t have to stare at the screen to refresh messages.
