Getting this right

You are paid for views from real people. Everything below is about getting more of those — and about the one shortcut that costs more than it pays.

Post to your own audience first

The views that count are the ones from people who would have watched anything you posted. Your existing followers are the most reliable source of exactly that, and they are the reason a job was offered to you rather than to an account with bought reach.

Ignore anyone selling you views

If someone offers to boost a post for a fee, they are selling you something that will cost you the payment. Bought views arrive without likes or comments, which is the pattern that gets a post checked.

  • "Guaranteed views" services
  • Engagement pods and view-for-view groups
  • Anyone who asks for your password to "grow" your account

Do not ask people to watch just to help you

Sharing a video because you think somebody will enjoy it is normal. Asking a group to open it and leave it playing is not, and the difference shows up in how long people watch.

Make it for the platform, not for the brief

A video that looks like an advert gets scrolled past. The jobs that pay best are the ones where the creator made something they would have made anyway and worked the brief into it.

Post it once, in the right place

Use the exact link from your jobs page, in the caption, the first time you post. Most platforms will not let you edit a caption afterwards, and a post without the link cannot be counted.

If something looks wrong, tell us first

Odd spikes happen — a video gets picked up, or somebody else shares it. Telling us before we notice makes a check quick. It is the unexplained ones that take time.

What happens if views look bought

We compare the likes and comments on a post against its views. Bought views arrive without the engagement real viewers leave behind, so a post with very high views and almost no likes is the clearest signal there is.

When that happens the payment is held while a person looks at it. Held is not taken — the money stays on your balance, and it is paid in a later run if the check clears.

If we get it wrong, say so and we look again. A decision that turns out to be wrong is corrected in your favour.

The full rules are in section 4 and 5 of the creator agreement.
