Presenting a specific, successful event as a case study to prove the value of a new method or system, and then offering the viewer a direct path to participate in it.

Transcript

Druski just pulled off one of the greatest marketing campaigns of all time. Here's the thing, he didn't have to post a single new piece of content. See, Druski created a pay per views campaign that allowed anyone to take his most viral moments and post them again from random anonymous accounts. The initial campaign was only for $5,000 and it generated 41,000,000 views. That's 12¢ for every thousand impressions. For context that would have cost over $800,000 for a brand to advertise and get that many views. This content reward stuff is changing everything. Top streamers, creators, and brands are all using it to go viral because it's the best of both worlds. Normal people can make a full time income just from clipping. While the people running campaigns get a cost to advertise, that is literally one one sixtieth of the price. So if you wanna run a campaign like this or you're a creator looking to make some money, platform is called WAP. Comment viral and I'll DM you the link to sign up.
