wadiz maker club: A Challenge Toward Greater Growth
There are makers who build success through courageous challenges and go even further through consistent success and communication. They are none other than the members of the “Maker Club.”
Wadiz Maker Club is a free membership program for makers selected based on the transaction volume and frequency on Wadiz, including funding, pre-orders, the Wadiz Store, and advertising.As aMaker Clubmember, you receive various forms of support, such as early payouts and the SUPER MAKER badge. In this month’s <STORIES of Challenge>, we introduce the growth stories of four makers who are building new markets through the Maker Club.
Around X: Perseverance and Diligence—The “Growth Equation” Perfected Through wadiz
- Introducing Around X, currently active as a maker club PLATINUM member.
- Every time they launch a new product, they use wadiz to test its market potential and distribute proven products to drive sustainable growth.
- Thanks to the fast review process, they were able to run their projects on schedule without any delays, right through to subsequent distribution.
Around X has been steadily making its mark by running up to five projects per month and raising a cumulative total of over 4 billion won. Recently, the company raised 200 million won with a project featuring titanium ceramic-coated tumblers that minimize odors and staining, and even ranked first in wadiz’s tumbler category.
Every time Around X identifies a new product, it validates its market potential through wadiz. The companyadheres to a rigorous strategy of distributing products based on the response received on wadiz. This “validate-then-distribute” approach has fostered trust among supporters and generated significant synergy when combined with maker club benefits. The expedited review process, which helps ensure a smooth transition to subsequent distribution, and the SUPER MAKER badge—which strengthens trust with supporters—serve as reliable partners for the maker’s sustainable growth.
Derma Nature Cosmetics: A Beautiful ‘Beauty Philosophy’ Cultivated Through Active Communication
- Introducing The Nature Cosmetics, a maker club PLATINUM-level member.
- Through close communication, actively incorporating feedback, and ongoing events, they developed and launched only the products that supporters truly wanted.
- The advance payment benefit allowed them to prepare Rewards more efficiently, and they remained highly active, running nearly 30 projects over the course of a year.
“Are you a student? I’m in my 40s…” Doesn’t this intriguing title sound familiar? The protagonist of this eye-catching beauty project, Derma Nature Cosmetics, is undoubtedly one of wadiz’s most active makers.They run about 30 projects a yearand constantly engage with supporters through product trial events and their News feed.
This close communication reflects the maker’s philosophy: a commitment to fundamentally improving skin health. They listen closely to their supporters’ voices to identify the products people want most and develop only those that deliver tangible skin improvements. In contrast to the beauty industry’s rapid new product release cycles, their development process can take one to two years or more. Derma Nature Cosmetics’ product development approach has become even more stable since joining the Maker Club. Thanks to wadiz Maker Club’s fast-track review and advance payment benefits, they were able to efficiently prepare their Rewards and quickly grow into one of wadiz’s leading beauty makers, achieving sales in the hundreds of millions.
ZeroAbsolute: The “ACV Trend” Driven by Agile Strategy and Fresh Ideas
- Introducing ZeroAbsol, currently active at the Maker Club GOLD level.
- By quickly catching on to trends in the food market and introducing easy-to-eat crunchy products, they led the “Aesabi” craze.
- They maintained a high maker satisfaction rating of 5.0 while conducting quarterly projects and steadily built a solid fan base.
Apple cider vinegar (ACV) is a food product garnering intense interest as a new method of health management. Over the past year, various ACV products were launched on wadiz, clearly demonstrating its popularity. Among the “trendsetters” driving the ACV craze, ZeroAbsolute—which developed ACV in a crunchy formulation—is one of the key players.
ZeroAbsolute had two powerful weapons: consistency and agile strategy. By consistently engaging with supporters through quarterly wadiz projects, they were able to analyze shifting trends and market reactions more closely than anyone else.Building on this, they rapidly developed new products, launched them on wadiz, and received an overwhelmingly positive response. Fresh products, high satisfaction rates, and the SUPER MAKER badge combined to build solid trust and explosive popularity. This is the secret behind how the maker was able to stand out as a leader driving new market trends.
Gina English: A “New World of English Learning” Created by Unparalleled Content and Communication
- Introducing Gina English, currently active at the Maker Club GOLD level.
- They regularly launched projects featuring unique English learning content, such as “Magic Patterns” and “Butter Pronunciation.”
- By earning the SUPER MAKER badge, they reinforced their positive brand image and successfully attracted more supporters through ads featuring student testimonials.
There is one English learning project that has been receiving nonstop praise. Gina English, which is steadily growing on wadiz by offering a curriculum that instills an “English DNA” and presenting a new approach to English learning, runs projects regularly—three to four times a year—showcasing diverse content developed based on the creator’s impressive background as a former EBS news anchor, an interpreter for major corporations, and a winner of an English instructor audition.
After becoming a Maker Club member, Gina English quickly established itself as a trusted learning brand by leveraging its positive image.This was made possible by cleverly capitalizing on the fact that, since the Rewards are intangible—namely, content—supporters tend to rely more on the “person” behind it. In particular, they carefully research whether the maker is trustworthy and what other students have to say in their reviews. Gina English successfully generated a strong response by using positive reviews from wadiz supporters in their advertising, and further boosted brand awareness by earning the SUPER MAKER badge . Above all, their consistent growth on wadiz paved the way for an even bigger leap forward.
