To give a little more insight from the sponsor side, its not entirely about followers, more recently sponsors favor engagement ratios, so if you have 5,000 followers and are getting 1,000 likes/comments that is generally a good starting point
Thanks! I just subscribed to you, and have done business with you before as well. I'm the builder of the "Angry Egg" Fiat 500 Abarth that I'll eventually use to compete in the New England area. I've got a time lapse style build series on my channel, as well as some videos from NEFR over the last several years.
All rallyists supporting each other with likes/follows and engagement is just the bare minimum. 10k is just a stepping stone to 100k but the only way to get there is to entertain or educate. My recommendation for priority of effort for content is: 1. UA-cam 2. Instagram 3. TikTok There’s plenty of research on which platforms are most popular with Gen-Z/Millenials, but historically these platforms are the most responsive to rally content when produced for their platforms in mind.
Thanks for chiming in on this one Sam! I do believe we can make a significant impact on things with this all in mind. We will be pinning a post on the North America Rally group on FB this coming week once SnoDrift is done, for everyone to drop in their social links.
150+ days later, and I'm not sure how much people have started to follow each other and interact with their postings. Kind of a hard one to track in general. Hopefully, people have started to engage a bit more. Thank you to all who commented and started working to build a bigger network for rally!
Well done, Bill! I appreciate you taking the time and effort to put this together as well as step up first to keep this ball rolling. It’s gonna take some time and effort but the results could have compounding affects for everyone. Hope we get the chance to catch up at STPR again this year.
I’m really hoping everyone takes this seriously and starts following each other. Hopefully the results will be a much broader audience for rally in North America
Great Video Bill! Enormous Perspective and plan. I’m personally very thankful with the whole North American Rallying scene a dream in progress for me started Volunteering for rallies and teams, to crew chief up to providing a brand with a professional crew service pre- during and post rallying races to our fellow drivers and event other crew teams. My formula has been bring at least one new individual to a rally either to spectate/ or help around. Honestly it has worked all of them have gotten hooked with the sport and they actually bring new individuals the years after. So yeah that’s a bit of feedback or idea to throw out there. Feel free to drop a subscribe ,ill definitely return the 🚀❤🍻 cheers.
As a motorsport/car enthusiast content brand, with a huge love of rally and wanting to grow the sport through my own channel because I want to stage rally myself. This is the situation me and my team are in. We are new, no one really knows us and we are hitting every hurdle here. Especially in just getting noticed. Sponsorship is by far the hardest. The cost is huge for new teams like us. Not everyone has the funds or resources to dive into the sport. I have a car, but I still need alot of work to be stage competition ready. I also need the other resources like a trailer and such to make the events. This is a huge deal breaker for many. The sport has a high cost per event just for the thrill. In terms of followers. To get 10k followers/likes etc is also a problem. If no one knows you, you don't get followers, the algorithms just don't move you beyond a small group. So this means years of posting and trying to get people to follow you. To have that "viral hit" make you big is usually not easily done. That burns out teams over time. I'm trying to bridge that gap for new drivers and teams, even the veteran teams who need a boost in support. I believe if the teams and drivers get more support, this will grow the sport even more! Especially from bigger companies and drive more local companies to also sponsor many of its regional drivers. If there is local influx of business each time a rally is in town, that also boosts the local economy. Companies local to the events should be looking at the drivers for advertising opportunities. For me, I am ready to hit the local enthusiast events to not only get exposure and fan support I also see it as the opportunity to boost the sport. Get my sponsors exposure and network. That said, I don't want to be the negative nelly here. I'm ready to follow every team on social media! I'm ready to interact more. I am ready to use my brand to help others along side me and grow this sport. Everyone can find me on many platforms. Facebook, IG, X, Threads, Tik Tok etc. The catch-all is the website dropagearindustries.com I welcome networking with anyone who wants to talk and I look forward to boosting each other's brands as we work together to grow this sport!
19:45 TERRA RALLY CREW 🤘

Good point! It is important to gain the followers so the engagement ratio could be better.
