What they did
Step 1, find: search YouTube by keyword, watch creators' videos, and study competitors' creator choices (micro vs big influencers, topics, long dedicated video vs integration). Step 2, vet: engagement rate (views / followers) should be over 10%, with at least ~100 comments per video; and check the creator's brand history: one-off deals suggest the brand wasn't profitable, so look for creators who worked with the same brand at least three times.

In their words
Starter Story · I Built 3 Apps to $35K/Month With This Playbook (DropMagic AI Breakdown)“So, the first one is engagement rate. So, basically it's like views divided by followers. It should be over 10%. I think that's a good number. And also a minimum of like 100 comments per video.”
“So, usually, if it's just a one-off deal, it means that the brand was not profitable. So, you shouldn't really go with them. Usually, what I try to look is did the creator worked at least with the brand three times.”
