FAQ

Do reviewers need a big channel?

No. Social Perks works best with everyday customers (50–5,000 subs). Their videos feel authentic and rank well for long-tail product queries.

How do you handle view milestones?

You set tiers β€” e.g. base reward at posting, bonus at 1K views, bigger bonus at 10K. We poll the YouTube API and release perks automatically.

Does this work for service businesses?

Yes β€” especially for home services, fitness, beauty, and food. 'A day with [business]' or 'I tried [service] for 30 days' format works very well.

What about YouTube Shorts?

Treated as a separate action type. Shorts have different view dynamics, so reward thresholds are typically 5–10Γ— higher (10K, 50K, 100K views).

Is FTC disclosure handled?

Yes β€” every campaign brief tells the creator to add 'paid promotion' in the YouTube settings and #ad in the description. We can't enforce it, but we make it easy and remind them.
