What they did
Deals are a fixed fee plus a commission. Always lowball the initial offer by 30%, then offer two packages: one with more upfront cash and a lower commission, one with less upfront cash and a higher commission. Start with one test video: check whether the audience responds and engages and whether it breaks even after a month. If all numbers are green, sign a package of 3-4 videos over the medium term for a lower price per video. Uses Tolls to track and pay creators.

In their words
Starter Story · I Built 3 Apps to $35K/Month With This Playbook (DropMagic AI Breakdown)“Usually, it's a fixed fee and a commission. Always lowball the initial offer by 30% and then offer two package.”
“So, basically what I typically do is I just make a deal for a first video. The first video is a test, see, you know, if if the audience is responsive, if it's engaging, see if you're break-even after a month.”
“And then, if all the all the numbers are green, and then deal for a package like three, four videos, you know, more like in the mid-run so you get like a discount per video”
