just look what Chili’s did in mid 2024. they spent a small fraction of their marketing budget on flooding social media with organic content. same store sales jumped 14% and their parent company Brinker International’s market cap increased by $6.4B (376%) despite their other restaurant chain’s growth being basically flat
the average Fortune 500 company spent $950M on paid ads/media in 2025. if they spent even 1% of that on @contentrewards they’d generate 10s of billions of views and everyone on earth would be talking about them.
this is truly one of the greatest media arbitrages to ever exist, and very few companies are actually taking advantage of it right now which is INSANE. this arbitrage is crazier than Facebook ads in 2011
I JUST SOLD MY COMPANY AT 16 YEARS OLD
words can not describe how i feel rn
we exited for 7-figures. virality did $3M+ in revenue in 10 months, fully bootstrapped
this is the full story of how it all started and ended, but first I need to be honest:
my name isn’t alex, its yanal. as of today i’m one of the youngest self made millionaires in the world
but it wasn’t like this a few years ago. when i was 14 i realized i wanted to build something awesome (and make a lot of money doing so)
i found my cofounder Ivelin because one of his affiliates was posting on TikTok about a make money server. i joined as a regular member, nothing special. when he reopened the affiliate program I jumped in and my first video did 3M views.
that got me promoted to manager. a while later I pitched him on starting a clipping agency together. that agency became Virality.
we met Matt on discord around the time he got a job offer at Whop to be their head of clipping
i told him not to go, and to start Virality with me. he said yes
we’re three teenagers who met on the internet, zero funding, zero connections. and in under a year we built something worth acquiring.
and it has been the most FUN time of my life
we’ve been on the wall street journal, got in contact with the whitehouse, ran content for BILLIONAIRES, pissed off tjr, worked with tjr, have made todays news dozens of times, and our content has been seen by 300B+ people
Virality is in great hands with .@ninja_reach and will keep helping creators and brands win.
as for us, we're going all in on Content Rewards, the platform Virality itself runs on. we built one agency on top of it. now we're building what every agency in this space runs on.
shoutouts to my cofounders, close friends and partners:
@waliet took a shot on a random affiliate with one viral video and let me pitch him a whole company. mentored me from day one. nobody understands this industry like him.
@organicbond could've been our biggest competitor. Instead he became the best CGO I know and the hardest worker on the team.
@facelessfarms for being our head director and one of the best marketers i’ve ever worked with. this guy is amazing.
@danvsi for picking us up to build content rewards with him. none of this would be possible without his influence
@itspairaw for helping us with our twitter content early on and later on during the transition. hands down the best marketer on twitter.
and most importantly: thank ALL of you for following me and supporting me
stay in touch, content rewards has some massive updates coming soon
and i can NOT wait to share them with you
The 19 Year Old Paying Clippers $2 Million A Month
Sat down with the CEO of @contentrewards@danvsI and talked about the future of clipping & UGC
It's pretty crazy what happens when you post 1 million clips per month...
We're working on the v2 version of Content Rewards, and we're about to launch it soon
Crazy new features are about to drop specifically for UGC
Pay posts, retainers, and most importantly, we're going hard on UGC creator acquisition
We're working the hardest to acquire the best UGC creators
And bring them on to Content Rewards to make UGC videos for everybody
We recently ran a UGC campaign to test this whole thing out
One of our creators blew up and got 1.5 million views
We had a 60% increase in signups that day
And we only paid $500 for it
Big things are coming
Stay tuned
