## In short

To get views on a trailer, run a [performance](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#pay-per-performance) AdPool: you set a price per 1,000 views (the [CPM](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#cpm)) per network, creators share or react to your video, and they are paid as their posts gain verified views. A cap per post keeps one viral post from using the whole budget.

## Why is buying video views risky?

View counts are easy to fake. Classic paid distribution often pays for impressions you cannot audit, and a bot-driven spike can eat a budget in hours.

## How does SaTT pay only for real views?

- The [oracle](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#oracle) measures each post’s public views, likes and shares and signs the result.
- Nothing is payable before a 48-hour [maturation](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#maturation) after the first measurement.
- In performance pools, 20% of earnings is held as a [holdback](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#holdback) until a final check after the pool ends.
- Fraud signals such as view spikes or views without engagement raise a [risk score](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#risk-score); risky posts wait for your decision.

YouTube views come from the official YouTube Data API. X, TikTok and Instagram metrics come from a data provider with a limited daily quota during the alpha, marked “Limited”.

## What prices and caps should you set?

| Setting | Example |
| --- | --- |
| Mode | Performance — fixed prices |
| Networks | YouTube, TikTok, X |
| Price per 1,000 views | $2.00 |
| Price per like | $0.01 |
| Max per post | $60 |
| Duration | 21 days |

With these prices, a post with 10,000 views and 300 likes earns $20 + $3 = $23 (gross). On a $1,000 dollar budget, the 15% fee leaves $850 for creators: about 425,000 paid views at $2.00 per 1,000 if likes are ignored.

> **Tip:** YouTube does not expose shares and Instagram returns no shares either, so a price per share earns nothing on those networks; the rate editor hides it there.

## How do you set up a trailer campaign?

1. **Paste the video link** — On [Create](https://satt.com/create), paste the trailer URL and a goal such as “get views on our trailer”.
2. **Choose “Per result”** — Pick the per-result payment mode and keep the networks where views can be measured.
3. **Set the prices** — Enter the price per 1,000 views and a max per post. See [Set performance prices](https://satt.com/guides/how-to/set-performance-prices).
4. **Brief the creators** — Say what to post (reaction, short cut, quote with the link) and the hashtags and mentions to use.
5. **Launch and monitor** — Launch, then watch the pool page and your [Dashboard](https://satt.com/dashboard) for flagged posts.

## What are the common mistakes?

- No cap per post: one viral post can consume the budget. Always set a max per post.
- Paying per view on Instagram photos: photos have no view count; ask for Reels.
- Expecting payouts on day one: payments start 48 hours after the first measurement.

## Key takeaways

- Use a performance AdPool with a price per 1,000 views and a cap per post.
- YouTube views are read from the official API; other networks are “Limited” during the alpha.
- Payouts wait 48 hours, and 20% is held until the final check after the pool ends.
- A price per share earns nothing on YouTube and Instagram.

## Frequently asked questions

### Do creators have to upload my trailer?

No. Your brief decides the format: a reaction, a short cut, a quote of your post with the link. Each creator posts on their own account and submits the link.

### What if a post keeps growing after the pool ends?

Creators can claim growth while the pool runs, then make a final claim after it ends, within the budget left.

### Can I pay per view in crypto?

Yes. Performance pools exist in both editions; in crypto the fee is 5% for pools funded in SaTT and 15% for other tokens.
