What they did
Offer 4-5 videos for a fee priced at a $2-5 CPM against a minimum view guarantee, paying 20-50% upfront. Example: a creator averaging ~25K views per video gets offered 4 videos for $225 with a 100K-view minimum; $50-100 upfront, and if they fall short they keep posting until they hit the guarantee, then get the rest.
What happened
Cheap, performance-protected influencer reach; the founder says influencer marketing has been great, with ~$13K revenue this month on ~$500 spend
- Stage
- Month two onward
This shipped together with other changes, so the result can't be credited to this alone.
“The best deals you can make are 20 to 50% upfront for four to five videos with a view guarantee that's based on a $2 to $5 CPM.”
“Then you're going to tell them, "But you need to have a minimum view guarantee of 100k views." Now, if you don't hit that guarantee, you could keep posting until you do, and then we'll pay you the rest of the money.”
