For creators
1. Profile & platforms
- Complete your creator profile (bio, categories, location, photo).
- Connect socials (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, etc.) so brands can verify reach.
- Follower counts on connected platforms decide which tier campaigns you can join.
- Complete, featured profiles show up more often in brand discovery.
2. Discover campaigns
Browse campaign listings. Before you apply, check:
- Required tier and platforms
- Deliverables, brief, and dates
- How you get paid (content fee, commission %, app-install CPA)
- Location rules
- Whether connected socials are required (sync upload, automation)
3. Apply or accept invites
| Path | What happens |
|---|---|
| You apply | Waiting until the brand approves |
| Brand invites you | You accept to join, or decline |
| Commission auto-join | Some commission campaigns accept you as soon as you apply |
You must meet the campaign’s minimum followers on at least one required platform (or any platform if none are listed). If the roster is full (often 20 or 50 creators depending on the brand’s plan), you may not be able to join yet.
4. Workspace & delivery
After you’re accepted, open the campaign workspace:
| Campaign type | What you do |
|---|---|
| Non-direct hire | Create content, publish on your socials, submit the live URL |
| Direct hire | Upload deliverables for the brand to publish |
| Sync upload | Post on the shared publish date with socials connected; brand approval is usually needed about 3 days before |
| Commission / App Install | Share your referral link; installs or sales drive CPA / commission |
Work moves from draft → submitted → needs changes or approved → shared when you post live.
5. Getting paid
- Content fees — after your submission is approved. Without a creator subscription you’ll usually see about a 30% platform fee; with an active subscription it’s typically 0%.
- Commission — builds up from attributed sales.
- App install CPA — Circuul credits installs from your share link; rates are higher if you’re subscribed. See Tiers & payouts and Pricing for creators.
Payouts may include a short hold (often about 7 days) after they’re started.
6. Tips
- Keep socials connected if the campaign needs auto-upload or automation.
- Respond quickly when a brand asks for revisions.
- Don’t share other creators’ referral links — earnings are tied to your enrollment.
- A strong, complete profile helps brands find you in Find Talent.
- Grow earnings with the Referral program — including inviting brands so creators pay no platform fees on that brand’s campaigns.
