For Creators

Getting your first campaign

5 min read•Updated Aug 2026

1Create your creator account

Sign up at /signup and choose the Creator role — email/password or “Continue with Google” both work. Then finish the onboarding wizard: your profile, a quick tier check, plan selection, and finally Stripe payouts.

You can browse and apply before payouts are set up, but you won't actually get paid until (1) your Stripe Connect onboarding is complete and (2) your tax form (W-9 / W-8BEN) is approved. Both live under Dashboard → Payouts.

2Make your profile work for you

  • Profile: a clear display name, a short bio, your niche, and a sample of past work — businesses review these before approving anyone.
  • Connect socials: link Google/YouTube to verify your subscriber count (that determines your tier: Small Creator 10k–99.9k, Moderate Creator 100k–999k, Big Creator 1M+). Instagram and TikTok connects are optional extras for social proof.
  • Reputation: reviews are two-sided and you have a right to reply. A strong rating is the fastest way to get approved.

3Discover and apply

Open Dashboard → Discover and filter by niche, budget, and campaign type (Fixed fee, Affiliate, or Hybrid). Each campaign shows what the business wants, how many deliverables, and the budget.

  • Apply with a short cover note — businesses see it in their Applicants queue.
  • Free tier lets you apply to 20 campaigns per month; paid plans raise that.
  • You can apply to the same campaign once — the platform enforces it.

4Deliver on schedule

When the business approves you, your deliverables appear in Dashboard → My Campaigns with individual deadlines. Each one has a 24-hour grace period before it counts as missed — after that the deliverable is kicked and your completion record takes a hit.

Fixed-fee campaigns pay on approval. Affiliate/Hybrid campaigns give you a unique tracking link: you promote it, and every attributed sale earns you 90% of the attributed revenue.

5Getting paid

  • Every conversion enters a 7-day hold (protects against refunds/chargebacks).
  • After the hold, revenue releases to your balance.
  • Weekly payouts pay out when your balance is at least $25 and your tax form is approved.
  • You get a downloadable PDF invoice for each payout month, plus a full ledger in Earnings.
Keep your card/account details and tax form current — a payout that can't be delivered gets paused, not lost.

6Protect your reputation

Use the in-app chat (PII-filtered) to negotiate terms and share updates. If something goes wrong, SLA disputes auto-resolve after 72 hours — so businesses are held to deadlines just like creators. Deliver on time, stay communicative, and the review system rewards you.
