Most seeded creators never post
Industry post rates for unstructured seeding sit at 20–30%. That means 70–80% of your shipped product generates zero content. No post, no mention, no ROI. Just inventory out the door.
Solutions / Creator Seeding
CREATOR SEEDING
Send product. Get content. Actually know what they'll say.
Traditional product seeding is a gamble: you ship free product and hope someone posts. ContentCraze turns seeding into a system. Invite creators, give them a script, track every post, and pay only for the views they generate. Same authenticity. Zero guesswork.
You're shipping product into the void.
Here's how traditional seeding works. You find 50 creators. You ship them each a $30–$100 product. That's $1,500–$5,000 in product cost alone, before shipping. Then you wait. Maybe 15 of them post. Maybe 10 of those actually mention your product clearly. Maybe 5 of those follow anything close to your messaging. You have no data on who posted, what they said, or how it performed, unless you manually hunt down every post across platforms.
That's a 10% usable content rate from a program that cost you thousands in product and weeks in logistics.
No control over the message
When someone does post, they say whatever they want. Wrong product name, missing key benefit, off-brand tone, competitor comparison you didn't want. You can't guide the message without a script.
No visibility into results
Did they post? Where? When? How many views? You're checking Instagram manually, searching TikTok hashtags, asking creators to send screenshots. There's no dashboard, no tracking, no performance data.
Same authenticity. Actual structure.
ContentCraze turns product seeding from a hope-based program into a performance-tracked system.
Create an invite-only campaign
Set up a Post Party campaign with invite-only visibility. Generate invite codes for the specific creators you're seeding product to. Only they can see and join. It won't appear in the public marketplace.
Build a Playbook for your product
Define what creators should highlight: unboxing experience, key features, use cases, before/after. Set your must-follow rules (FTC disclosures, claims they can and can't make). Generate scripts that give creators a clear framework while leaving room for their personality.
Ship product + share invite codes
Send your product with the invite code included. Creators download the app, join the campaign, and see their assigned script with a built-in teleprompter. They know exactly what to film, how to film it, and when to post.
Track everything from one dashboard
Every post is tracked automatically. Views, engagement, and earnings update in real-time. Creators earn CPM-based payouts. The better their content performs, the more they earn. You see which creators drove results and which products got the most attention.

Pre-launch seeding
Send product to 30–50 creators before launch. Scripts ensure consistent messaging. Content goes live on launch day, and your product enters the market with instant social proof.
Monthly seeding programs
Subscription and consumable brands can run monthly seeding cycles. Same Playbook, fresh scripts, returning creators. Every month your product shows up in new content from real people.
Ambassador programs
Turn your best-performing seeded creators into long-term ambassadors. Elite CPM tiers reward them for continued performance. Invite-only campaigns keep them in your orbit without going public.

Frequently asked questions
Traditional seeding is unstructured: you ship product and hope the creator posts something useful. ContentCraze adds scripts (so they know what to say), tracking (so you see every post and its performance), and CPM payouts (so creators are incentivized to make content people actually watch). Same authenticity, but with structure and data.
Scripts give creators a clear framework (what to SAY, SHOW, and TEXT overlay), but they're not reading a teleprompter word-for-word against their will. The teleprompter is a tool, not a cage. Must-follow rules enforce your non-negotiables (claims, disclosures, product name), while allowed variation axes let creators add their personality.
Share your invite code with any creator. They download the app, join your campaign with the code, and they're in. No prior ContentCraze account needed. The onboarding takes a couple of minutes.
You can run one invite-only Post Party campaign for free, no credit card required. That's enough to test the entire workflow: Playbook, scripts, invite codes, tracking, and payouts. Upgrade to Pro ($249/mo) for 2 campaigns/month or Pro Unlimited ($499/mo) for unlimited.
Build FTC disclosure language into your Playbook's must-follow rules. Every script generated from that Playbook will include the required disclosure. Creators see it in their teleprompter and include it naturally. You're not relying on creators to remember. The system enforces it.
