Content Rewards are the next big thing (I'm all in)
Genius marketing system inside
Hello there
60% of all advertising is spent on brand awareness ads
And the goal?
Get as many eyeballs for as cheap as possible
Why?
The more people see your logo or face..
The more likely they are to choose your brand when they are making a buying decision
And right now there is a brand new marketing channel that is getting smart brands millions of views for 1/10th the cost of facebook ads, influencers and tiktok
This new marketing system is called content rewards
And it is being used by drake, sketch, mr beast, stake and many more brands

The Whop Content Reward Drake Uses
Content rewards are very simple
You tell your fans what content you want them to post and you pay them $1 for every 1k views they get
content rewards are special because you get hundreds of unique pieces of content of your brand without creating, editing or posting any content yourself
It decentralizes your brands content creation and rewards creativity
This helps you find winning content formats that you can use to get organic views over and over again
Now why is this so special
You see facebook ads have been THE advertising platform for the last decade
You pay $20 and youre guaranteed 1000 people in your target demographic will see your ad
Which is great but there is one big problem
Facebook will spend your money whether the ad is good or not
Meaning you could have the worst ad in the world that isnt profitable
Yet facebook will happily take your money and let you spend thousands on it
Now 5 years ago there was nothing wrong with this because it was quite literally the only way to get people to see your content on social media
Now, things have changed.
Social media algorithms are getting smarter.
They’re serving content to the right audience without ad targeting.
If you say “gardening” in a video, the algorithm will serve it to people who are interested in gardening, even if you’ve never posted anything before. It’s freaky accurate.
Even crazier: platforms like Instagram can recognize faces.
So, when you post a video with your face even from a brand-new account Instagram will show it to people who have watched your videos before.
This is massive because it means you can bypass traditional ad platforms. If you make good content, it’ll get millions of targeted views for free
And You can literally get 100,000 views on the first video you post from a brand new account
Now this is a big deal
Because it means that you as an advertiser can completely circumvent social media ad platforms
Meaning you no longer have to pay for reach
If you make good content, it will get millions of views for free
And stake casino figured this out
"i cant scroll on social media without seeing a stake log0
It seems like every 4 scrolls i see a random meme, fight video or old viral moment with millions of views that a stake logo front in center

Stake logos are EVERYWHERE
There’s more…
Now the interesting thing is its not just a few accounts getting a lot of view, its literally thousands of accounts posting every single day
All getting millions of views
It is so bad that my gf thought that stake was a meme company and she said
“i love stake, they make the best memes”
So how are they doing this at such a large scale
The short answer is: content rewards
Stake is paying anyone $.05* for every 1,000 views they get
The only requirement?
The video must have a stake logo in it
So if you post a video with a stake logo on it that gets 1 million views, you make $50
No contracts, no application
Everyday people just post content, and get paid instantly
Now stake is a little controversial because they let people repost stolen content.
They know videos that went viral once can go viral again but this time with a Stake logo.
It’s an easy way to get billions of views, but please don’t steal content.
Stake can only do this because they’re an offshore casino.
But there’s a big opportunity for legitimate brands to do this the right way. Let’s take Sketch, for example..

Sketch got 119 clips made for $356.86
Streamers like sketch are paying clippers $0.35 for every 1,000 views they get when they use content from his stream
He knows the best way to get new people to find his stream is for them to see 30 second highlights on tiktok and intagram first
If they like the highlight in their feed they will search him on twitch to watch more
This is his discovery growth engine so investing in clippers is crucial to his business
But instead of hiring a bunch of editors, paying them upfront then managing the accounts
He just sets a reward rate, puts a few requirements and only pays the clippers for the views they get after they post
Sketch explicitly gives them permission to do this but sets a few requirements like
You must use my most recent streams
Vidoes must show my face for atleast 15 seconds
You must link my stream in the bio of your account
This automates the entire process for him and opens the opportunity to any fan who wants to make some money
Since sketch is very popular on social media and the algorithms will recognize his face its very easy to get views
They just make a new account called sketchbestclips and start posting
This is a great way for his fans to make some money by leveraging sketches virality
And since they just use his existing content literally anyone can do this
To get paid all the clippers have to do is post a video, paste the link into whop and the views start getting tracked

Real submissions for sketch clips

$5.22 for 14,900 views (without creating, editing or posting any new content)
Once sketch checks to see if the video met the proper requirements he hits approve

You only pay for content you approve
And boom the clippers automatically get paid every single hour for the views they generate
Approved clips get paid out automatically
Now I lead marketing at whop and we recently started doing this with drake to promote his new album with party next door
To do this we used the content rewards app on whop
He has a total budget of $25,000 and wanted to pay his fans $.70 for every 1000 views they got
The content requirements were:
You must use a song from the new album
You must be dancing to the music in your video
Then he links the album and posted the content reward
Within the first 12 hours of his content rewards going live we got over 1.3 million views on autopilot
Here are some of the real submissions we got
This is single handedly the most effective and most affordable way to market music
Good music sells itself but the challenge is getting people to hear it in the first place
Idk about you but if i see an instagram reel and like the song i almost instantly go look it up on spotify
Now with content rewards you can systematically incentivize thousands of people to make content using your music
Resulting in millions of people hear your songs for the first time
Lil baby, ken carsen, Da baby and est gee are also doing this
We are in talks with multiple record labels and they are all very excited about this and plan on doing this for all their artists in the near future
So if you are watching this video and wondering how you havent heard this before its because you are very very early
This is brand new and we literally just released the product last week
So whether you want to get more people to see your logo, hear your music, find your streams or see your content
Whop content rewards are hands down the best way to get more views for fewer dollars.
