The life of a tiny YouTube creator

I started an animated YouTube channel and I make episodes about what interests me. This week its the YouTube algorithm.

u/GapBig6574 — 1 day ago

[Question] Moving from gifted to paid collabs (UK Beauty/Lifestyle, 4.3k TikTok, views range 1k - 1.8M)

Hi everyone! I’m a UK-based beauty and lifestyle creator. I have 4.3k followers on TikTok. My views range anywhere from 1k on quieter videos up to 1.8M on my biggest viral video. I also cross-post to YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook.

After 2 years of successful gifted and affiliate collaborations, I am ready to transition into paid brand deals. I would love some insight from this group on how to get started. Specifically:

How do you determine your baseline rates or flat fees?

What does your outreach/pitching process look like?

Which banking or invoicing apps do UK creators prefer for receiving brand payments safely?

Any advice or resources you can share would be amazing. Thanks so much!

Get $10 Worth of BTCs When You Sign Up + $10 Worth of BTCs Per Referral (Unlimited Referrals)

https://spondula.com/

Spondula is currently offering:

$10 worth of BTCs when you sign up
$10 worth of BTCs for every referral
No upper referral limit

You can already start building referrals before the beta launch on June 1st.

Spondula is building a global payment app where your S-handle becomes your payment identity instead of sharing bank details.

They’re also allowing people to reserve S-handles before launch, so it’s probably worth claiming yours before the better ones disappear.

The referral system is global, meaning you can refer anyone worldwide and share your link across social media from friends in Mexico and Nigeria to family in Pakistan, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and beyond.

How it works:

  1. Go to https://spondula.com/
  2. Claim your S-handle
  3. Confirm your email address
  4. Receive your personal referral code by email

When beta launches on June 1st and users fully activate their accounts:

• They receive their $10 BTCs signup bonus
• You receive your $10 BTCs referral bonus

Could end up being one of those “wish I joined earlier” apps when it catches on globally.

i build a replacement for youtube

[DEV]

so guys i build app called flock i would tell its features first and then explain how they are been done

  1. You get 90% of the net ad revenue

YouTube gives you 55% of the gross ad revenue. On Flock, you get 90% of the net revenue from all the videos you upload. (I’ll break down the exact math at the end of the post so you can see how much more money this actually is).

2. Ads are capped and fully in your control

All ads on the platform are skippable in 5 seconds. As a creator, you can put one ad at the start of your video. To add mid-roll ads, your video has to be at least 8 minutes long, and you can only place one every 8 minutes.

The best part: It caps at 5 ads. Even if you upload a 4-hour video, it will never show more than 5 ads, and you decide exactly where they go.

3. Clips (Short-form) pay per view

You can also upload short-form videos (I call them Clips, kind of like TikToks or Instagram Reels). The big difference here is that you actually get paid a fair, calculated rate for every single view.

In the Clips feed, an ad shows like how in tik tok and youtube shorts . At the end of every month, we calculate the total ad revenue generated by all the Clips on the app. We also count up the total number of Clips views across the entire platform for that month.

We then divide the total revenue by the total views to figure out the exact Revenue Per View. Once we know exactly how much a single view is worth, we just check your specific monthly views and pay you your exact fair cut based on that math.

4. Built-in Communities (like Reddit)

I wanted users to be free from relying entirely on a recommendation algorithm. So, I built a community feature right into the app. You can build your own community, your followers can join, and you can reach them directly without praying the algorithm picks you up.

Because the app only takes a 10% net cut i need some more way for revenue . So, Communities also generate revenue to keep things running. Ads are shown between post in the feed like reddit . We take the total monthly ad revenue from a community and split it:

  • 25% goes to the Community Owner (the creator).
  • 25% goes to Flock (to keep the servers on).
  • 50% goes to the users who actually made the posts in that community, based on their post views.

5. The 4-Tier Recommendation Ladder

Instead of a black box, the recommendation algorithm is fully transparent. When you upload you set a 4-tier tagging funnel that creators set when uploading:

  • Tier 1 (Broad): Gaming, Music, Entertainment, etc.
  • Tier 2 (Genre): If it’s gaming, is it FPS, RPG, etc.?
  • Tier 3 (Specific): Which exact game, movie, or anime?
  • Tier 4 (Type): Is it a speedrun, a review, a let’s play?
  • for eg Gaming -> FPS -> Halo -> Speedrun

This tells the app exactly who to test your video on first. and for how videos move like how they scale is this way

  • Tier 1 (The Audition): A new video is shown to a small crowd of hardcore fans in your exact niche. We measure how they react (watch time, likes, shares vs. swipe-aways) for ex a halo speedrun watcher that watched it a lot of time .
  • Tier 2 (Proven with the first crowd): If the niche fans loved it, it gets promoted to a wider audience (the broader genre) eg now they gernal halo not only speedrun are shown .
  • Tier 3 (Proven at scale): If the genre crowd keeps engaging, it opens up to a huge, general audience eg (it reaches fps people who have intrest in fps ).
  • Tier 4 (The Top): It proved itself at every step, so it’s pushed to the widest possible audience on the app eg games people who just love games would also be shown .

Growth is judged per-viewer, not by raw view counts. A video only moves up a tier if a high percentage of the people who saw it actually enjoyed it. A small video that everyone loves will climb to the top, while a big video that people start ignoring will stall. You earn a bigger audience by actually pleasing the one you have.

6. Anti-Clickbait "i" button

Every video has an "i" (info) button on the thumbnail. You can click it to see the like/dislike and read the comments before you even click on the video. so you can check if it is a clickbait or not .

no ai video is allowed on they platfrom no ai images

also you make money from very start like ads show on your video from view 1 not like youtube 1000 hours or something system system they have

The Math: How the 90% Net Revenue actually works

The biggest cost for a video sharing app is streaming bandwidth (the data cost to deliver the video to a phone). I managed to find a very solid, cheap data provider (way cheaper than standard AWS or Google Cloud pricing) at just $0.005 / GB.

Every month, I calculate the total delivery data cost for your videos and subtract it from the total ad revenue those videos made. You get 90% of what's left, and Flock takes 10%.

Some people might say, "Wait, YouTube takes 45% upfront, but you're deducting costs first?" Yes, but the difference is massive because our costs are hyper-optimized. Here is a real example using a 100k view, 12-minute video with a $6 CPM:

  • Total Ad Revenue Made: $600.00
  • Video Delivery Cost: Thanks to our highly efficient streaming codecs, delivering 100k views on this video costs exactly $75.00.

Flock App Calculation:

  • We subtract the delivery cost first: $600.00 - $75.00 = $525.00 (This is the net pool we split).
  • You get 90%: $472.50
  • Flock takes 10%: $52.50

YouTube Calculation:

  • YouTube takes 45% upfront from the total $600.
  • You get 55%: $330.00
  • youtube takes: $270

Even after paying for the exact cost to stream your video , you walk away with $142.50 more on Flock than you would on YouTube for the exact same video.

and lets say if they app gets more users it would get even better they streaming cost would go down even more eneterprice discount so you would make even more

tell me guys what you think about they app currently it is on playstore here is they link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mycompany.flock

Looking for content creators to help test something I’m building

Hey everyone!

I’m currently building a new tool specifically for content creators, and I’m looking for a small group of creators who’d be interested in trying it out before it launches.
I don’t want to share too many details publicly just yet, but the goal is to make part of the creator workflow a lot easier and more creator-focused.

Right now, I’m looking for people who are willing to:

Test an early version

Share honest feedback (good and bad)

Tell me what could be improved before launch

I’m looking for genuine feedback, not just compliments. I want to build something creators actually find useful.

As a thank-you, anyone who actively tests it and provides meaningful feedback will get **free access for a few months when it launches next year.**

If you’re interested, leave a comment or send me a DM, and I’ll reach out when the beta is ready.

Thanks in advance. I really appreciate anyone who’s willing to help shape it.

I used to roll my eyes at “comment LINK.” Now I kind of get it.

I used to think the whole “comment LINK and I’ll send it to you” thing was just engagement bait.

Honestly, it still can be.

But I’ve been paying more attention to how people actually behave on Instagram, and I think I misunderstood part of it.

When someone sees a Reel and wants the product, template, guide, recipe, workout, whatever, that interest is very short-lived. They don’t want to go to the profile, tap a bio link, open a link hub, guess which button is the right one, then maybe come back.

They just want the thing.

The weird part is that the comment is probably the highest-intent moment. Someone literally stopped scrolling to ask for the link. But a lot of creators still treat that like a normal comment they can answer later.

By the time they reply, the person may not care anymore.

So now I see “comment LINK” less as a trick and more as a shortcut, assuming it’s done well. The bad version is spammy. The good version is just removing steps.

What I’m still unsure about is where the line is.

At what point does this feel helpful instead of annoying?

Are people here using comment-to-DM flows because they actually convert better, or is it mostly just for boosting comments?

I need helppppp

I don’t really know where else to go to ask this, but I genuinely want advice on how to reach a wider audience for a series I’m working on. Obviously it is still in the works, however having more than just a friend or two to motivate me will help me keep going.

I want to share my work and share this story, but I don’t gain enough traction on my TikTok or Instagram to garner attention. I want to be able to build a community that keeps me motivated, I want to hear people’s advice and criticisms on what I’m working on, and I want to create something that others might enjoy.

I’m just a girl working off of a shitty Chromebook, no money, no studio, and I’m definitely not using AI or paying for views and engagement. That shit is lazy and should never be used in entertainment.

What should I do to boost the audience? I’m genuinely trying, and I figured I might as well come here, knowing this is a big space for creative work.

THANK YOUUUU

guys i really need help

I’ve been a relatable content creator since 2023, and I’ve posted every single day for over 3 years. I’m currently at around 110k followers on TikTok and 31k on Instagram. I’ve had multiple viral videos, including one with over 11 million views, and I work with brands regularly, so I know my content can perform.

The problem is that I feel completely stuck.

For the last year or so, I’ve been hovering around the same follower count. I’ll have a video do well, gain some followers, then everything slows down and I’m back where I started. It feels like I’m on a treadmill.

My content has always been relatable videos—girlhood, relationships, school, random thoughts, and situations people relate to. That niche helped me grow in 2023, but now I feel like relatable content is so oversaturated that it’s hard to stand out. Every time I scroll, I see hundreds of creators making almost the exact same style of videos.

I don’t want to quit because creating content is genuinely my passion, but I also don’t want to spend another few years posting every day just to stay stuck around the same follower count.

For those of you who understand short-form content, what would you do if you were in my position?

Would you stay in the relatable niche or pivot?

How do creators break out of this plateau?

Is relatable content still a good niche in 2026, or has the algorithm and audience shifted?

If you had an account with 110k followers that felt “stuck,” what would your strategy be to get it to 500k+ or even 1M?

I’m not looking for generic advice like “just be consistent” because I’ve already been doing that for years. I feel like I’m missing something, and I’d really appreciate honest feedback.

If anyone is willing to take a look at my accounts and tell me what you think I’m doing right or wrong, I’d really appreciate it.

Validate my Idea: Influencers marketplace

​

Idea 1:

Influencers may have their own products to sell

And some may have a catalog of products.

Using our platform influencers can sell their products. We handle tech.

And also host their catalog with Amazon/ flipkart links.

It will also provide insights as to how many people clicked on the link, how many went into purchase. It helps to pitch their impact while collaborating .

Idea2:

Local businesses list their businesses and corresponding marketing budget. Influencers can come and text them up or show up their interests.

Owners can pick one among them.

It helps to offload time to find influencers, and can find many micro influencers.

I want your views towards this ideas.

Is there any pre existing tools are there, if so how can i create difference and attract influencers?

Need your suggestions.

Thankyou

We want to showcase your work:

  • Poetry
  • Visual Art
  • Music

The mainstream ignores our stories, so we are going to use this platform to put a massive spotlight on your work and tie it right back to our history and the struggles we're facing today.

If you want to get involved, collaborate, or share your work, hit my DMs here or find us on our socials:

Getting AI feedback on your social media video

I always tend to get the final stamp of approval from ChatGPT or Claude before publishing anything. It works well for texts, somewhat okay for images but what if you want actionable feedback on what could be wrong with your short form video? Neither ChatGPT nor Claude can do this at the moment.

So? I decided to build what I lacked.

If you are in the same position, feel free to check out https://imapogoo.com.

- You upload a video you intend to publish on TikTok, Instagram, Youtube Shorts or LinkedIn.
- Imapogoo gives the strenghts and weaknesses with actionable guidance on what to fix.
- On top of that, it scans what is trending in your niche and region, and brainstorms ideas of how that could be implemented in your video.
- Lastly, it provides a couple of fellow creators from your niche you can draw inspiration from.

Btw first analysis is on me. Please let me know what you think.
