Creators Go Live Next Week: Post Your Videos to Earn $1 Million Creator Fund

Good morning, creators.

EAT goes live with creators next week. Creator pages and sign-in open the week of Nov. 9.

Missed October 31? The fund still takes applications. Post your videos on your social media pages by the 10th for your chance to be accepted.

Use the tagline: ‘EVERYBODY EATS’ in your video
Tag: @wydeorg or @wyde_eat to qualify

The better your video and the more people it helps who might be hungry or food insecure the more likely it will be accepted.

Doing good for people is the way to get ahead.

Help feed people, build your future.

Nov. 9

the week creators go live

THIS WEEK AT A GLANCE

New here? WYDE turns attention into meals. A restaurant gives food. A creator shares it on camera. People eat.

CREATORS: LAST CHANCE BEFORE LAUNCH

A crowd of real EAT fund applicants behind a long table of their own food, with one empty seat marked @YOU

Every face and every plate here is a real frame from a creator who applied, used with their consent. One seat is still open.

Last chance. EAT pays to spread the videos of creators who help feed people. Everybody EATs is the campaign at the center of the launch.

  • Creators go live the week of Nov. 9. Creator pages and sign-in open then. Apply before launch.

  • 373 creators have applied, with 113 million combined followers, self-reported. The fund targets 1 billion views. That is $1 million at $1 per 1,000 verified views.

  • It is an application, like a venture fund. Applying is not acceptance. EAT reviews each applicant's videos.

WHAT EAT CREATORS GET

  • Clipped from day one. Clipping starts in November. EAT clippers cut your posts for TikTok, Reels, Shorts and X. The fund pays the clippers. You pay nothing.

  • Earn on qualified views. Accepted creators earn based on qualified views. Views are never guaranteed.

  • A spot on the EAT creator board. Restaurants and brands come to the top of the board first.

  • Your fans get paid to clip you. They earn on verified views.

  • Keep every deal you have. EAT is non-exclusive.

WHAT TO PUT IN YOUR EVERYBODY EATS VIDEO

  1. Name it. Put Everybody EATs in your video.

  2. Show the cause. Make it clear you are helping end hunger.

  3. Point to the app. Tell viewers to download the EAT app.

  4. Share your link. Give your audience your link.

  5. Ask them in. Ask viewers to take part, not just watch.

Paid videos also need a clear disclosure in the video itself, not just in the description.

Your videos may already fit. Level 1 is hunger awareness, in the content you already make. No eligible video yet? Apply anyway.
