| Step | Example | |
|---|---|---|
| Create | You or another creator sign in to the flmflm app and create a challenge | Best sax solo |
| Ante | Other creators ante up and submit short videos of their attempt | 11 other saxophonists each ante in 5 points (99¢). The pot now has 55 points total (~$11) |
| Share | The challenge closes for entries. flmflm posts the announcement of the new challenge across social channels. | You and the other competitors share the weblink to the “deck” of video cards on your preferred channels, no need for others to sign up for flmflm to just view. Your combined shares amplify each other. |
| Vote | the flmflm audience logs into view the submissions and vote on their favorites. | |
| Leaderboard | the challenge closes for voting. flmflm ranks the leaders and pays out to the winners. | You win. You can exchange your points for cash, prizes, or use them to ante in another challenge. |

|---|---|---|
| popularity | merit | Creators do not need to feed the algorithm to stay relevant. They engage unique audiences with content they are passionate about. |
| megainfluencers | unsung talents | Creators have a different path for monetization. No minimum followers, content length, or sponsor interruptions. |
| ads, subscriptions | challenge entry fees | flmflm offers a revenue model different from ads and subscriptions in climate where consumers are fed up with both. |
| spam fed algorithms | no bots or AI | flmflm’s rewards don't increase with views. There’s no incentive to spam the platform with AI generated content. |
