Uwheel reached $1.2 million dollars though social media marketing

Social media is a big boosting factor behind every successful company that advertised its products by updating the whole world through an internet platform. Social media can be a gold mine for the wise owners, who knows how and where to dig in, using the people's interests as navigation.

According to Tutuz News, 'Uwheel', was founded by Dan Fleyshman, who in the first month of a company's existence, produced 1.2 million in sales as good as a half dozen sell and placement deals.

As interviewed by Next Shark, his success journey was revealed which was definitely not only one-stepped. It took him years to become a millionaire. Starting as the youngest 23 years old CEO of a publicly traded company, he then moved to a popular business of energy drink and a poker game. Then he realized that he has the potential and a business mind, so he launched 'Uwheel' which gave him a big boost to his bank account by the help of social media. Alongside it, he is also a successful owner of First Slice Media, a website of popular lifestyle and entertainment.

Dan said in an interview,"I worked three jobs, working at Ruby's diner as a host, at the stadium selling cotton candy, peanuts, Cracker Jacks and working for a stock broker, and selling candy at school - actually, I would have the teacher sell it for me in front of the classroom, and I would pick it up on Friday. I was always trying to figure out ways to earn income to help my mom. I was also saving a lot of money for college."

How the company hit millions through social media was not a hard core task, but a wise one indeed. By applying social media marketing strategy, Uwheel Company did not spend a single dollar other than the cost of the actual units and the shipping cost to send them to celebrities and influencers. However, Entrepreneur listed four ways, Uwheel applied to achieve the position of a multi-million brand without spending a dollar.

First, Uwheel was fortunate enough to get the likes of popular figures, Lil Wayne, Amber Rose, Jamie Foxx, Snoop Dogg and professional athletes, who posted and tagged Uwheel Instagram profile in exchange for free products and promoted teeth whitening, weight-loss tea and mobile apps.

Secondly, the company focused on branding its prominent features such as built-in Bluetooth speakers and an affordable price point, from the start. An Uwheel post through an influencer increased the followers dramatically.

Thirdly, Uwheel, other than focusing largely on follower count, it identified appropriate influencers, with a high followers count, for the social media marketing.

For example, Uwheels gifted product to the Wasserman Sports Agency to pass on to a client who is a professional skateboarder that has approximately 185,000 followers.

And lastly, the Company took a wise step by building relationships with other prominent brands.

For example, Uwheels gifted Pink Dolphin, an exclusive clothing line, with a half dozen hover boards that the company then used as giveaways for customers and social-media followers.

Dan Fleyshman said in an interview that, "A lot of people say, 'Oh, I don't have the time for it; I work these jobs,' and I want you to start working; I want you to have a secondary income if you're an entrepreneur, but you can sleep one hour less a day, or two hours less a day, and all of a sudden you have like 365 to 730 extra hours a year. That's like another month of your life just to focus on your project."
