FAQs

All of our creators are video creators. The most common journey we help creators with is taking them from YouTube to other platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok. But the journey can go in any direction.

We work with all the major social media platforms but most creators begin with longer form videos on YouTube that we are able to distribute across additional platforms like Facebook, Snapchat, TikTok, and Instagram. We are also developing new capabilities to support streamers from Twitch and to assist native, short-form video creators.

Nope. We only have exclusive rights to use your content on the specific platforms we agree upon.

Absolutely. We work with you to ensure our edits and tone of voice are aligned with your brand. If there’s something you’re not into, we’re happy to make changes.

Honestly, you don’t need to do anything once we’re up and running. You can engage with your audience as much or as little as you’d like.

We work on a revenue-sharing model for the in-stream advertising generated on the platforms that we manage for you. Our rev-share model is designed to consider the value that we bring to build your brand: our tech, our team, our data, and our financial investment. But we only make money when you make money. Jellysmack does not participate in your original channel. So if you are a YouTube creator and Jellysmack is putting you on Snapchat, we only receive a portion of your Snapchat earnings.

Unfortunately, to provide each of our creators with the best possible support, we are unable to enlist every interested creator. We vet each creator for their potential on additional platforms and test each one before we enter into an agreement to see if the partnership will be mutually beneficial. See the next question to get an idea of what we’re looking for in our creator partners.

We work with video creators across all different genres who live all over the world. While there are no exact requirements, here’s an idea of what we’re looking for:

Creators with Long-Form Videos (YouTube, Facebook, etc.):

• 20,000 followers on a single platform
• Library of 150 videos that are at least 3 minutes long
• Consistent uploads of new videos

Creators with Short-Form Videos (TikTok, Reels, etc.):

• 50,000 followers on a single platform
• Library of more than 500 videos
• Consistent uploads of new videos

Before you join, we run tests on your content to make sure it’s a right fit for both of us.

We love your enthusiasm! Click here to apply via our Get in Touch form. As you can imagine, we receive a lot of applications so it may take us a little while to get back to you. If we think we might be good partners, we will reach out as soon as we can.

Qualifications are not set in stone as they depend on several factors, including the value of a creator’s YouTube library and their future earning potential. That being said, creators have to be monetizing on YouTube and have a sizable video library that could be evaluated.

While JellyFi is only available to select qualifying creators, anyone can apply by following these easy steps:

1. Grant us read-only access to your YouTube channel so our algorithm can calculate the value of your video library and estimate your future earnings.
2. Add your email address where we can schedule a meeting to talk through the funding options available

Jellysmack has advanced AI technology that analyzes your YouTube library and individual video performance. Our algorithm leverages machine learning and predictive analytics, combined with billions of data points that we’ve gathered across social video performance and market risks to calculate your catalog value. We then share the insights we glean from your channel and talk through funding options available if you qualify.

The sky’s the limit with JellyFi. Our financial solutions are customized to each individual creator’s needs. Whether you’re interested in licensing the monetization rights of past or future videos, need capital to start a new business venture, want to smooth your income with steady paychecks, or secure payroll funds to take a creative risk, JellyFi’s technology and team of seasoned fintech experts can find the best financial solution to help you achieve your goals.

JellyFi financial solutions are calculated based on the value of your YouTube catalog and your estimated future earnings, so the amount will vary from creator to creator. Our offers can range from tens of thousands to millions.

If we determine one of our financial solutions is right for you, the funds can be used how you want. Some common creator uses are: try new content ideas, hire top talent, build studio space, launch a product, or simply grow your business. Basically, anything you need to take your brand to the next level.

Our contract agreements are personalized for each creator depending on the type of financial solution, amount of funding provided, and how the money will be used.

No. You maintain full ownership and rights to your intellectual property. Depending on the financial solution you choose, Jellysmack may assume control of the monetization rights to select videos in your library.

Once the deal is approved and the agreement is signed, we send payment within 14 business days via wire transfer.

Disclaimer: we are not tax advisors. But it’s our experience that JellyFi financial solutions may be considered earned income, and as such you will receive important tax information and documentation. You will need to adhere to all applicable tax laws. We encourage you to consult with your own tax advisor for any personal tax related questions.

Even if you didn’t qualify for one of our JellyFi financial solutions, we still encourage you to keep your account linked so that we can keep an eye on your growth and reach out in the future. However, if you prefer to remove Jellysmack’s access, you can follow these 3 easy steps:
