The EdTech industry ideally serves students that are adept at using the internet.
Hence there is no better platform to empower and inform our prospects than
YouTube. Tie up with Indian and some International YouTube Channels
that makes educational videos. A scorecard has been prepared to rate ten
prominent channels. The final Price is expected to be dependent upon Social
Blade Rank which takes into account all the factors mentioned here. The same
can be found in the excel document, the link to which is available in Slide No.4
We have used the following metrics
• Engagement ratio ( Number of Views/Number of subscribers)
• Average Number of video views (Total views/Number of videos
uploaded)
• Increase in subscriber base in last 30 days
• Increase in video views in last 30 days
These metrics have been combined to obtain an Overall Impact Equation to
evaluate the influencer we should proceed with. Influencer charge a handsome
amount of money, hence we have proceeded with complete data analysis
FINAL EQUATION (Overall Impact Equation)-
(((Engagement * Average video views)*0.5 )+(0.2*Subs increase last 30
days)*(0.3*Video View increase last 30 days))
This table depicts the final results obtained after computing the above equation
for each channel. They are arranged in descending order of preference. The
Green and Yellow colored channels can be sought after and the Red colored
channels need to have careful strategy & reason behind choosing them

a) The Costs are approximated and assumed so as to give an idea about
the possible costs incurred. The conversion rates are industry specific
b) For simplicity, it is assumed that there is no intersection between the
reach from Digital Marketing and Offline Marketing
c) Digital Marketing is more effective; the Customer Acquisition Cost
(~Rs. 526) is less than its Offline Counterpart (~Rs. 880)
d) As time passes, more stress to be given on Word of Mouth (WoM)
with new promotions designed to stimulate online reviews
e) Customer Retention has to be the ultimate goal- Acquiring a new
customer is much more expensive (5-25 times) than retaining one
