How much should you actually pay an influencer?And more importantly, how do you make sure influencer marketing stays profitable when a video goes viral?Jake from Cal AI breaks down the numbers behind their influencer marketing strategy, from negotiating cross-platform deals and setting base rates to structuring view-based bonuses and knowing when to stop paying for additional views.We also dive into why you shouldn't blindly copy a $X CPM benchmark. Instead, Jake explains how to use RPM (revenue per thousand views) to determine what you can actually afford to pay.And when a video takes off? That’s where things get really interesting.Jake explains why Cal AI caps view bonuses around the 1M-view mark, why viral views become less valuable as content reaches a broader audience, and how the team tracks downloads and revenue when millions of influencer videos are circulating across social platforms.You’ll discover:✅ How Cal AI negotiates influencer rates and cross-platform posting✅ How to structure a base rate & performance bonus✅ The difference between paid ads, influencer marketing, and UGC✅ Why you should focus on RPM instead of chasing a “good” CPM✅ How to calculate whether your influencer campaigns can actually be profitable✅ How Cal AI tracks downloads and performance from viral influencer content✅ How to use early campaign data to build a repeatable influencer playbookThe big lesson:Don't ask, “What CPM should I pay influencers?” Ask, “What can my business afford to pay based on the revenue those views generate?”Jake's newsletter:https://operatorsnotebook.beehiiv.com/🚀 Need help growing your app?App Masters: https://www.appmasters.comYou can also watch this video here: https://youtu.be/LN7_9TAoyKY*********************************************SPONSORSBuilt an app nobody's finding?Distribution beats product — and UGC video ads are how apps get it.
