Nothing keeps creators posting like being paid on time, and nothing loses them faster than a late or confusing payout. The routine is simple. The hard part is doing it the same way every month.

Pick a payout day and keep it

Pay once a month, on a date creators know in advance. A fixed day means nobody has to ask, and it gives videos posted late in the month time to finish counting.

List every video

A payout should arrive with its working: each video, the views it was paid on and what it earned. When creators can see how the total was reached, they stop sending questions and start planning their next posts.

Show the amount before it lands

Let creators watch their earnings add up through the month. By payout day the amount should already be familiar. If something looks wrong, it is far easier to fix before the money moves than after.

Pay the way creators want to be paid

PayPal and Wise cover most creators in most countries. Ask each creator for their method when they sign the contract, so the first payout is not held up by missing details.

Questions

About Friendzone.

If yours is not here, write to us and a person will reply.

What is Friendzone?

A dashboard for running your own UGC creator program. You publish briefs, your creators post on their own accounts, and Friendzone counts the views and works out what each video is owed.

Which platforms do you count views on?

TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and Facebook. Views, likes and comments update as the numbers come in.

Does Friendzone find creators for me?

No. Friendzone is not a marketplace. You invite the creators you want, or open spots they can apply for, and manage them all from one dashboard.

How are creators paid?

Earnings add up through the month from the rates in each contract. You pay your creators monthly, by PayPal or Wise, with every video listed.

What if a creator posts the same video on several platforms?

The video is paid once, for the platform where it did best.

Do creators have to follow a brief?

No. Briefs are ideas, not assignments. A creator can use one as it is, remix it or post their own take, and every post pays the same.

What does the UGC agent do?

It looks through popular videos in your category, pulls the hooks that are working and compares them with your own results. Then it drafts briefs and scripts you can send to creators.

Can I run more than one brand?

Yes. Each brand has its own campaign, rates and creators, and you run them all from one login.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes. There is a 100% refund guarantee for the first 30 days.
