How to find mobile photography apps TikTok creators
I scroll Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube under a fresh account if I’m looking for mobile photography apps creators. I try to put myself in the shoes of the person who would download this: US English, 22-34, already bounced off VSCO they pay for and never open and Lightroom presets they cannot remember, watches ‘iPhone can look like Portra’ and over-edited-selfie regret videos on the walk home. Then I linger, save, like, and comment as if I were them. Once the algorithm is trained I take whoever keeps showing up.
I do not open #iphonephotography and call the spreadsheet research.
They watch iPhone-Portra recipes, over-edited regret, ‘I bought another preset pack’, JPEG-vs-raw arguments. They already tried VSCO they resent paying for, a $19 preset pack they used twice, and the native Camera app they keep returning to in a hurry. Adjacent is walk-home snapshots, not wedding-photographer education. Skip the preset-pack seller whose whole grid is the same orange skin.
Ideally over 50k average. Below that they quote $700 a post for 1k views. That’s a money sink.
What keeps showing up in this feed
The same Portra-on-iPhone face two evening walks in a row. The example I want in my head: someone showing a photo they liked, then the same photo after a pack made the skin plastic.
Recipe videos already have the audience; a camera that bakes one look in is the thing they can open on the walk.
Doing this by hand is kind of soul-crushing. Like a wedding-education video and you will leave the walk-home snapshot people. That is why I automated the scrolling. Scout is $1,500/month for the list.
The long method essay is How we find creators by scrolling a real TikTok avatar. I wrote the first-person version at How I find influencers.
Reject list, written down
Write the reject before you scroll: the preset-pack seller whose whole grid is the same orange skin. Also skip anyone whose last dozen posts are collab ads and who has never talked about iPhone-Portra recipes, over-edited regret, ‘I bought another preset pack’, JPEG-vs-raw arguments.
If they only exist under #iphonephotography, they wanted brands to find them. That is not who is being served to the person who would download this tonight.
50k floor
I want roughly 50k average views because the economics will not work otherwise. Preset sellers quote pack-launch rates because that is the SKU. $700 a post for 1k views is a money sink.
If you do this right, ie at scale, you will have many other creators to choose from. One no is not the campaign.
