Search by handle, by name, or by topic, then press Follow.
The limits
How many creators you can follow is set by your plan, and counted per workspace rather than per list:
20 on Free
70 on Pro
150 on Business
Follow adds them to your workspace's first list. To split them into more lists, ask Vamos in chat.
When you reach it, the message names the number your plan covers and how many you are following, and adding another means unfollowing someone first.
How many lists you get also depends on your plan. See Plans, credits and prices.
The same creator can sit in several lists, and still counts once.
Finding people worth adding
By account, with an @handle, name or profile link, when you already know who you are watching. Competitors, the accounts you check anyway.
By topic when you do not. Search a subject and Vamos returns accounts working in it, with followers and recent videos so you can judge before adding.
In chat for the harder version. Find me accounts like @handle but smaller or who is doing well in this niche right now does work a search box cannot.
With the search box empty, Creators suggests accounts grouped by your content topics. Similar creators, the layers icon on any card, finds more like it.
Filtering by size
You can filter by follower count in bands, or set your own range. The filter is the All button at the right of the search box.
Smaller accounts are often the better ones to track. Outlier score measures against a creator's own median, so a 20,000-follower account that breaks its pattern teaches you more than a huge account having an ordinary week.
What happens after you add
Vamos starts scanning. A minute or two per creator, and the page tells you it is working.
Then their recent videos appear with views, engagement, likes, comments and an outlier score each (once Vamos has 10 of their posts), sortable however you want.
When nothing appears
A private account cannot be read. Nothing will appear, ever, on any platform.
A dormant account has nothing recent. The page will say they have not posted recently rather than pretending to be loading.
A scan can fail. It says so on the creator and can be retried.
How many to add
For the weekly brief to have something to work with, five creators is the minimum and ten or more is where it gets good. Three accounts produce a thin week, and that is the most common cause of a disappointing brief.
