Creator-led RPM distribution at scale
Pay 30–50 micro-creators to post about your product simultaneously using a pay-per-view (RPM) model, then kill losers and scale winners.
Why this can grow a startup
The RPM model aligns incentives — creators only earn when content performs, so they self-optimize for engagement. Launching 30–50 creators simultaneously creates a wave effect that triggers algorithmic amplification. Modern platform algorithms reward content quality over follower count, so even zero-follower creators can go viral. The real unlock for B2B is reframing the product as a life upgrade rather than software features.
Company example
Cluely (1B views, 300+ creators, <$1 CPM), Gamma (70M users, $0 CAC from creator content positioning B2B tool as homework shortcut), Tabs Chocolate (45 creators, scaled to exit). Documented by shoezXwako on r/SaaS who reported an $8 reaction video generating 500K views at $0.008 CPM.

When to use it
Use this when TikTok, X/Twitter, YouTube is relevant to 10K+ and you can run a bounded test with a free budget.
When not to use it
Do not use it as a substitute for customer evidence, a clear owner, or a measurable stop condition. Local platform rules and market behavior still need checking.
Founder checklist
- Read reddit.com and identify what is directly supported.
- Choose one channel context: TikTok, X/Twitter, YouTube.
- Define the test around 70M users.
- Set an owner, evidence window, and stop condition before launch.
