●For creators
We measured what actually gets a trading creator paid.
Zera tracks 8,308 trading creators and has scored 2,596of them for the firms that pay them. That gave us the other side of the table — which accounts get deals, at what size, with what content. It is all in the course.

What we found
Four things worth knowing before you send another message.
Measured on 5 August 2026against our own catalogue, not collected from other people's blog posts. Where a number is fragile — a small sample, a selection effect, a field we know is imperfect — the course says so on the same page as the number.
One threshold, and it is not a hundred thousand
Below five thousand followers, 14% of the creators we track hold a firm deal. Between 5,000 and 25,000 it is 53%. Above that it stops improving. The goalpost is far nearer than you were told — and below it, growth is the work, not outreach.
Format moves more than the hook
On Instagram, the best format beats the worst by 9 times on a typical post. Choosing the opening shape moves it by 1.34 times. If you change one thing, it is not the hook — and almost every course tells you it is.
One in three is already paid
Of the 2,601 creators whose content we have actually read, 854 — 33% — promote at least one prop firm. This is not an empty market and it is not a saturated one. Two thirds of the people in it have not worked out how to get paid.
Almost nobody discloses
Across posts by creators who hold deals, fewer than one in two hundred carries an explicit ad disclosure. Read that as an opportunity rather than permission: a firm that needs someone its compliance team will approve is choosing from a very small pool, and you can join it this week at no cost.
What this is not
We are not going to tell you the deals will come to you.
Firms do not browse a directory and pick you. The creators who get paid go and ask, with the right numbers, at the right size, in a lane that is not already crowded. That is a set of skills, and it is what the course is for. Nothing on this page promises you visibility we cannot deliver.
There are also no income figures in the course — not ours, not a student's, not a screenshot. What you get is the shape of the market and the mechanics of getting paid inside it.
The other side of the trade, written down.
