All users have the same sign up process. Simply register with your email, create a username (can’t change once created), a password, and agree to our terms of service + opt in to receive updates. You will be sent a confirmation link via email, once you click this link you will have activated your account and gained access to set a profile picture, create listings & requests + more!
Create a Listing (Creators & Influencers)
- Click Add a Listing or ‘+’
- Select your category (Shoutouts & Sponsors or Managers & Content Creation)
- Generate a title (eg. “Instagram shoutout for fitness products”)
- Add at least one relevant image (eg. a screenshot of your insights and last few posts)
- Set the base price (if you’re only offering one form of shoutout then this is the final price)
- Fill in a description (describe your niche, audience, and engagement – don’t over sell)
- Recommended: Create pricing tiers. This feature allows you to set different prices for different packages (eg. Story: $10, Story + Post: $40)
Create a Request (Brands & Businesses)
- Click Post a Request or the page icon
- Fill in the title with a brief description of your brand and/or what you’re looking for
- Set an estimated budget (influencers & creators can make offers/bids)
- Describe exactly what you’re looking for in the description, wether you need an influencer in your niche to post your campaign videos, a creator with a track record to design 20 ad creatives for you or anything else within the scope of social media
- Commission based requests are not allowed. There must be a set budget in exchange for a specific service
Transaction & Escrow Process
- For both listings and requests, the checkout process is the same
- The buyer will use their preferred payment method to pay
- The seller will receive the purchase order
- The seller will have the chance to look over purchase notes or message the buyer through our platform
- Once the order is fulfilled, the buyer will mark it as complete -> Money available in seller dashboard
- If the order is not fulfilled, the buyer will press the dispute button and begin an escrow process
- In a dispute, the seller can press refund and give the money back
- Should the seller not refund, both sides will present their evidence/argument to our moderators
Withdrawal Process
- In your seller dashboard click Request a Payout
- Fill in the amount of money you want to withdraw
- Select a payout method
- Give the details for said payout method in the description box
- Press submit and wait 1-4 days
