Creator Connections – do they eventually ‘come through’?

I started a campaign for my new ASIN. 10% commission which if figure was good, 4-5 month time frame, and I have a coupon enabled in parallel to help conversion. 125 creators signed up. Seemed exciting.

After a week, nothing really happened. I sent the ones i thought were the ‘top 25’ a message asking if they needed samples. Didnt really get responses.

Its been a bit over two weeks and wondering if any will generate any clicks, or if I’m being too impatient? Do some creators come through down the line, or if there’s no traction at this point then its pretty much not going to happen?
