3. The Influencer Marketing Math That Made Cal AI Profitable

   How much should you actually pay an influencer? Lees meer

   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 playbook

   The 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?”

   Thinking about running Meta Ads for your app? Before you spend a single dollar, make sure these 7 things are in place. Lees meer

   Meta Ads can help you scale your app, but if your funnel isn't converting, your tracking is broken, or your lifetime value (LTV) is too low, you could burn through your budget without getting results.

   In this video, Steve P. Young shares the 7 things you need to check before launching Meta Ads, including the conversion benchmarks, tracking setup, and ad creative strategy he uses with app founders.

   Whether you're running Meta Ads for the first time or trying to avoid expensive mistakes, save this checklist before launching your next campaign!

   You'll Discover:

   ✅ The conversion benchmarks your app should hit before scaling paid traffic.

   ✅ Why you should aim for 5–10% trial activation, 30%+ trial-to-paid conversion, and around 2% install-to-paid conversion.

   ✅ Why validating your funnel with ASO or Apple Ads can help before investing heavily in Meta.

   ✅ How to verify your install, paywall view, checkout, trial, and subscription events.

   ✅ How to use Meta Ads Library to find competitor ads that have been running for months.

   ✅ How to estimate installs, trials, and subscribers from a $1,000 ad budget.

   ✅ The final checklist to help you avoid wasting ad spend on Meta Ads.

   The Big Takeaway: Meta Ads amplify what you've already built. Make sure your funnel converts, your tracking works, and your unit economics make sense before you try to scale.

   Coming in Part 2: We'll walk through the actual Meta Ads campaign setup, budgeting, and optimization process so you can launch your first campaign with confidence.

   How do you scale influencer marketing without turning every creator video into an expensive infomercial? Lees meer

   Jake from Cal AI breaks down how the team approached influencer marketing, why brands often get influencer campaigns wrong, and how they found the sweet spot between creative freedom, product integration, views, and conversions.

   Instead of forcing creators into a brand-approved format, Cal AI let influencers create the content their audience already loved, then tested exactly how and when the app should be integrated.

   We also get into the testing mindset behind it all: taking big bets, finding the right integration point, and understanding that what works for one app may completely fail for another.
