Their secret? Using online channels the right way.
Five Strategies That Worked
1. Used Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok
Yevogo focused on the platforms where drivers spend their time. They posted driver stories, earnings examples, and clear calls to action.
2. Started with Free Content, Then Added Paid Ads
They began by testing free posts and videos to see what worked. Once they knew which content drivers responded to, they invested in paid ads for faster results.
3. Made Simple, Clear Videos
Instead of fancy production, they created short, honest videos featuring real drivers talking about their experience. Simple and authentic beats expensive every time.
4. Targeted Drivers from Other Platforms
Yevogo actively recruited experienced drivers from competitors like InDrive. They knew these drivers already understood the ride-hailing business.
5. Always Tested and Improved
They tracked which ads brought the most drivers and used that data to improve their campaigns. Testing wasn't a one-time thing—it was continuous.
What Made It Work
-
Creative + Technical Balance
Yevogo built a team that combined creativity with data:
- Creative team made videos and posts
- Technical team tracked results and managed ads
- External agency provided extra support when needed
-
Know What Drivers Want
They used simple language and real photos/videos. No corporate jargon. Just honest information about earnings, flexibility, and support. 3. #### Ask for Help
