Turn complete beginners into creators with scripts, example videos and feedback on every post

Dris Elamri… and then we could probably get creators later. We're like, uh, "We'll pay you $30 to make a video," because our thesis is everyone wants to make money, and everyone can make money, they just don't know the methods. And when users join our, or creators join our app, uh, we go through a a full onboarding where we actually give them $40 their first post, and they are instantly hooked. They're like, "Okay, wait. It's this easy to make money?"

Dris ElamriUm, and from there, we provide like the exact scripts and example videos to use for UGC content, um, all the resources and how to warm up account, uh, warm up on an account, how to post like, uh, trial videos, how to actually make good UGC, how to like do lighting, like pretty much everything, um, cuz anyone has a phone, anyone can record videos. The difference between it's going viral versus it getting like 100 views is very minimal.

Dris Elamri… and make money if they they know Methods, they know game. Uh, and content is is something that can be easily trained. And if you ask any content creator, any, I don't know, person who is extremely successful in what they do, you ask them, "So, what what books did did you read or, uh, what what courses did you watch?" They'll probably not they'll probably say, "I just did it and I learned from there." And I think that's the best way to do it.

Dris ElamriAnd over time, uh, if you just post more content, you will naturally get better. And the one issue we're facing right now is if users do not see immediate results, they think their first video like their second video gets like 100 views, they just quit. And we want to reinforce the fact that if you keep trying, it is impossible to fail. Um, and this kind of goes to the goes into the startup philosophy where, uh, startups is kind of a game of surviving as long as possible, and if you can survive longer than any of your competitors, you will just win.

Dris ElamriUh, it is a game of sur- Even in life, like if you can outlive all of your friends by 100 years, you will be will be the winner. You can take all of their wives. Even in startups, like, uh, every other company dies and you survive, you can take their employees, you can take their You can get like a a larger share of the market.

You're able to learn much quickly what is going viral, what companies expect, um, even hopping on Methods, making content. I I think every founder watching this should go on the Methods app, download it, get your first $40, maybe use that, uh, seed pre-seed funding,

Dris Elamriuh, and then continue making posts, and understanding, uh, what is going viral, uh, what content should I make, cuz in the the app, we give like personalized like AI feedback on every post, and why something might go viral or why it might not, or, uh, how you should hold your phone, or change the lighting, or add captions. There's lots of insights. There's lots of delta everywhere, um, a lot lots of people do not understand things and the the best way is just doing it. No one's stopping you.

I think people should definitely get on Methods as a founder and learn to make content, try to earn your first $40, get the feedback, go through a couple iterations. Thanks for being on the pod.
