We pay and promote
You get paid per video. We amplify your content across our channels and community.
— What we look for
Not follower counts. Builders.
We don't care if you have 500 or 500,000 subscribers. We care about the quality of what you make and whether your audience builds things.
- You make developer-focused content (tutorials, builds, reviews)
- You have an active audience on YouTube, X, TikTok, or a blog
- You ship projects, not just talk about them
- You're comfortable integrating APIs in your content
- You care about production quality (audio, video, writing)
- You're honest. If something sucks, you say it

— FAQ
Got questions? We've got answers.
Everything you need to know before getting started.
It depends on your audience size and the content format. You propose your rate and we work from there. We pay flat fees per video, not per impression.
No, and we'd actually prefer you don't. The best content uses Zilfu as one tool in a full project build. "Build a social media dashboard with Next.js" where Zilfu handles the API layer is better than "Zilfu API tutorial."
We care about quality and fit, not follower counts. Some of the best developer content comes from channels with 2,000 subscribers. Apply and let's talk.
No. You have complete creative freedom. If you find a bug, say it. If something doesn't work, say it. Authenticity is more valuable than polish.
As long as you're actively creating content with us. There's no hard deadline or minimum posting frequency.
Yes. We partner with creators across YouTube, X, TikTok, blogs, and newsletters. Video isn't the only format.
