New to CPA: I make AI videos (TikTok/YT) - how do affiliates usually work with creators?

Hey guys,

I’m pretty new to the CPA and affiliate marketing world. My background is mostly editing AI short-form videos for TikTok and YouTube (cinematic micro-dramas, 3D characters, storytelling).

I see a lot of people here talking about how important ad creatives and visual hooks are for CPA campaigns.

I’d love to get into this space, but I'm not a media buyer. How do affiliates usually work with video creators? Do you guys hire editors per batch of videos, or how does it typically work?

Any advice from people running campaigns would be awesome.
