Snap Queens: How STARX MEDIA Turns Everyday Storytime into Serious Cash for Kelly, Mira & Sonny Loops
Kelly Akoussah built a cult following with slow‑motion outfit flips and dance loops, but the income side of the grid looked like tumbleweeds unless a brand deal slid into her inbox. When STARX MEDIA stepped in this spring, the US‑based Togolese creator discovered a revenue lane she had never tapped: Snapchat’s invite‑only monetisation program. STARX handled the back‑door paperwork, tuned her posting cadence to match Snap’s sweet spot, and fronted the ring‑light budget. Thirty days later, the app was paying her five figures—pure margin, no sponsorship required.
The same playbook clicked for German lifestyle powerhouse Sonny Loops. Between country-house makeovers and lipstick speed‑reviews, she slipped daily vertical snippets onto Snap. The payout now rivals her standing brand retainers, turning what used to be “extra behind‑the‑scenes content” into a second salary stream she controls.
London‑based fitness powerhouse Mira Szalma—better known online as Mira004—turned her daily lift logs and post‑workout memes into cash once STARX showed her how to treat Snapchat like a second studio. Her bite‑size training clips now rack up well over 100 million views every month on Snap, and by timing those snippets to the platform’s peak engagement windows, she’s unlocked its ad‑share programme. The results are proof that consistency can flex harder than any sponsorship.
STARX’s method is refreshingly un-glamorous: audit the creator’s existing rhythm, plug gaps with algorithm-friendly tweaks, and make the money flow directly to the dashboard. Micro‑advances for edits or gear are recouped only from the new revenue stream—Spotify royalties and YouTube splits stay untouched. Because everything is remote‑first, the agency’s Slack feels like a pop‑up war room: ex‑tour managers, data nerds, and brand negotiators swapping notes on what time a Cologne bedtime‑routine post crosses best with Los Angeles lunch scrolls.
For these three women, Snapchat shifted overnight from a social side hustle to a serious income pillar, a transformation that underscores the platform’s potential when guided by the right partner.
