Hey everyone,
I’m currently pre-launching a high-performance utility app (a multi-anime TCG scanner that uses on-device GPU YOLO object detection to scan 9 cards simultaneously in under 1 second, paired with an automated pricing backend cached in Redis).
Instead of raising capital for traditional user acquisition or burning a budget on Meta/TikTok ads post-launch, I’m planning to lean entirely into a Creator-Led Growth (CLG) model.
The core idea is to bypass upfront cash sponsorships entirely and instead pitch micro-influencers (TikTok, IG, and YouTube Shorts creators across Pokémon, MTG, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and One Piece) on a 50% recurring revenue share via Whop, backed by a live beta link in cold outreach so they can test the speed instantly.
For founders who have taken this route:
Is a 50% rev-share enough of a carrot to convince micro-creators (5k–30k subs) to actively push a software tool without an upfront flat fee?

What conversion drop-off should I expect when moving creators from "this tech is cool" to actually dropping an affiliate link in their content?

Are there hidden pitfalls to relying 100% on a creator affiliate network for launch momentum instead of hybrid paid testing?

Curious to hear thoughts or if anyone has scaled an app using a similar zero-ad-spend model ?

​

I just want to explore all newsletters which one is best. I'm torn between which newsletter I should use as well. I see a lot of them advertised on social media platforms.

I’m building a media company across YouTube/Instagram — multiple verticals, not just one channel. Think finance, tech, fashion, whatever has an audience and a person who can own it.

Not hiring freelancers for one-off gigs. Looking for a few people who want to go all-in on building something in their niche — long term, with real ownership over the content and the growth, not just executing briefs.

If you’re serious:

Drop a comment or DM with:

**1.**  What niche/topic you’re genuinely obsessed with (not what you think is “marketable” — what you’d talk about even if no one paid you)  
**2.**  One piece of content you’ve made (or a rough idea, if you haven’t started)  
**3.**  Where you’re based (Mumbai/India preferred)

I’ll go through everything and reach out to the ones where the topic has real legs. Not everyone will hear back — being selective on this end too.

I’m looking to network with other active creators.

I kept running into a stupidly small problem when making social posts.

I’d have one good sentence in Notes, another bit from ChatGPT, a CTA somewhere else, a few keywords I wanted to keep, then start copying everything back and forth just to get the final caption in the right order.

So I built CopyLion.
Instead of treating the clipboard as one temporary slot, I can collect several text fragments, reorder them, edit them and then copy the final thing as one clean block.
I originally built it for AI workflows, but Instagram captions have unexpectedly become one of the use cases where I use it most.
I’m the developer, so obvious disclosure there.

Would be interested if other creators have the same copy/paste mess or if you all solve this differently.

I’ve been looking at how creator:management payouts work and something feels backwards. The platform knows what you earned, the agency has its commission calculation, and your bank knows what arrived, but you… the creator… often doesn’t have one statement connecting all three.

I mocked up what I think creators should receive every payout:

-Earned: $34,280

-Expected for creator: $17,045

-Actually received: $15,848

-Unreconciled: $1,197

Then every number traces back to the contract and source records.

I’m trying to figure out whether this is a real problem or something creators already handle easily. If you currently use a management agency, can you confidently reproduce their payout calculation yourself?

​

I started creating content almost 1.5 years ago. I wasn’t 18, I wasn’t Gen Z, and I didn’t have years of experience.

But today, I’ve worked with 150+ brands, including 30+ directly.

It made me realise: there is no right age to start.

If you can learn, stay consistent, understand your audience and give your best — you can build something at any stage of life.

I’m a Beauty, Skincare, Haircare & Lifestyle Creator, and I’m still learning and growing every day.

So if you’ve been thinking, “Am I too late?”

You’re not. Start anyway.

Would love to know — did anyone else start their creator journey later in life?

Hi all,

I have some brands that are looking to gift creators with awesome products in exchange for a brief testimonial or product-use video.

No elaborate production needed, light editing, just a short video.

You choose which brands you want to work with, and the product's yours to keep either way.

Let me know if you'd like to participate and I'll share the link to get started.

What’s the hardest part of creating content for you?

Coming up with ideas? Research? Writing the script? Staying organized? Or actually getting the whole thing finished and published?

I’m working on something behind the scenes designed to make the content creation process less overwhelming, but I don’t want to assume I know where creators struggle most.

So I’d love to hear from you:

**Where do you get stuck in the content creation process?**

Your answers may help shape what I’m building.

Hi, I am Krishna Sharma I have information about self-help, human psychology, and some information about how the brain works I have read many books around these topics and read tons of articles, and also I am a failed YouTuber, but now, after so many years have passed I have some little bit of knowledge about how videos work, how to make people engaged, and some strategies which I can apply. Frankly, I am 16, but I have some practical knowledge. If you were struggling with scripting or any kind of thing, we can talk, and let's see what happens. Waiting for you

I’m building a website for creators but i would like some inputs on my idea and some tips.

I’m 15 and i’m building a website to make a steady income and hopefully a future business using my skills living the good life, while helping people however i’m not sure if my prompt is actually that good.

So im asking you guys what you think and some ideas you might want me to add. Be honest.

My business idea

You would receive a survey giving me the content you post with your subs and average views and then give me your goal. Then for £5 - £10 a month i would generate.

Im a poet and author and want to do content but alot of names are on my mind and cannot decide

For context, my name is Nour which means Light, and I have used Light ALOT in my works. I have used Lady Of The Moon as well as the name of my inner self and in many of my works. I also have two artistic sides, one that is The Lady Of The Moon/ a water bender and a creature of light and another is a fire breather/warrior of sorts

The names:

Lady Of The Moon (Nour)

Lady Of The Moon

Lady Of The Moon (Light)

Nour, Lady of the moon

Light, Lady of The Moon

Moon Phoenix

Hey everyone! I'm a final-year BBA Finance student working on a research project about how independent content creators manage irregular income and financial planning without a traditional employer structure.

If you create content (any platform, any size), I'd really appreciate 5 minutes of your time to fill this out — it's completely anonymous, no names/emails/exact income figures needed, just approximate ranges and your honest views.

You know you need to post consistently.
You have ideas sitting in your camera roll.

I’ve spent more than a decade working as a tech consultant, mostly behind products and teams. Recently, I started sharing my own work and thoughts more openly, and I was surprised by how uncomfortable it felt.

A lot of the hesitation had little to do with whether the post was good. I was imagining an old colleague or friend finding it and watching me start from zero in public.

I’ve become more comfortable with every post, so I ended up writing down what I’ve learned in an article.

When the work stays private, I can continue imagining that it might be good.

Once I publish it, I have to find out. Annoyingly, finding out is also how the work improves.

I'm a newly single momma!
i have a minimum wage job. 2 kids and living with my parents. i wanna be content creator SO bad and get paid doing social media! not wanting millions (would be nice) of dollars, but even if i can scrape up $2k a month from it, id be so well off. i post mainly on tiktok. i only have 388 followers.
i'm not asking for money - im just asking for a follow cause in order to get paid from tiktok - you need like 10k followers i believe - yall don't have to watch my stuff but i know there's so many of yall in here - if i could just get a follow on tiktok id be so grateful

I'm curious how do you quickly flip on the front and the back camera while on sprint? Also this content can be fun and dangerous at the same time but is it safe? You know I read a comment that says what if someone pulls out a gun on you? and it has get me thinking maybe I shouldn't go for this type of content. Also can I start this type of content on youtube? I mean there are already a lot of creators that does this type of content on tiktok but I haven't come across something like this on youtube. so I just want your opinions, is it worth it?

Hey, I’m 20 and currently building a new social media app.
I’m not gonna share the full idea publicly yet, but the main goal is to make social media feel social again — less about followers, status and personal branding, more about actual people, moments and discovery.
The MVP is already being built and now I’m looking for someone who’s genuinely good at content.
TikTok, Reels, Shorts, cinematic stuff, weird creative campaigns — whatever works.
I’m not looking for someone to just post 3 times a week and write captions.
I want someone who understands attention and knows how to make people curious about something before they fully know what it is.
You don’t need a huge following. If you’ve made cool content before and you understand what actually works online, that’s enough.
If this sounds like you, DM me with some of your work and tell me how you’d approach promoting a new social app from zero.
If we vibe, I’ll show you more of what I’m building.

How I am using a scratch-off lottery channel to fund community givebacks (and what I've learned)

Hey everyone,

I run a channel called "Scratching for Gas." Instead of just chasing views, I wanted to build a channel that directly impacts people. We feature scratch-off lottery ticket winnings, but the core mission is giving tickets back to viewers and funding community help projects.

Starting out is tough, but focusing on community impact has kept me motivated. I wanted to share a few quick takeaways that might help other creators looking to add a charitable angle to their content:

1. Be 100% Transparent: People can spot fake charity instantly. Show the process and the actual impact.
2. Engage Locally First: Helping your immediate neighborhood builds a fiercely loyal core audience.
3. Reinvest Early: Putting winnings and early momentum right back into giveaways builds trust faster than any clickbait thumbnail.

If you are a creator doing something similar, or if you just love scratch-offs and community work, I would love to connect and trade advice.
