Question 1

Influencer Score

Accepted Answer

The Influencer Score is a new metric that brands and marketers will be able to see when searching through our platform. Scoring is from one (low) to ten (high), and will provide a better gauge on how receptive you are to receiving opportunities, as well as the likelihood of you actively accepting/completing an opportunity.

Knowing this, you can assume that the higher your Influencer Score is, the more attractive you will look to brands and marketers. Thus, you should aim to have the best score possible. This will increase your chances of receiving more opportunities. Please Note: having a higher score will not guarantee any number of opportunities, as there are many other factors that each brand and marketer includes in the decision making, which we cannot control.

How is Influencer Score determined? The Influencer Score is calculated based on a set of criteria which includes recent activity on the account, job history, profile completeness, and more.

What can I do to improve my score? Things that you can do to positively impact your score are:

Be more active: if you are regularly signing into your account, that tells us that you more open to receiving opportunities.
Complete your profile: having a completed profile looks more attractive to brands and marketers.
Add social channels: if you have social channels that are associated with your blog, add them.
Don't be so quick to reject: we understand you may need to turn down an opportuni

Q: What is a Limited Time Offer (LTO)?

Limited Time Offers, or LTO's, are a new type of opportunity that we will be offering to our influencers. Our goal is always to help our influencers to get as many paid opportunities as possible, and LTO's will help us to do that. LTO’s are open job opportunities that will be available to a pool of influencers that meet the Brand’s specifications, and will expire as soon as the required number of influencers needed for the job has been met. These opportunities will be marked differently on your job board, and you will be able to see the true number of offers remaining. As other influencers pick up the offer, that number will decrease until reaching zero, and thus, no longer being available. LTO’s are: • Completely optional • First come, first serve • Can be for blog, social, and video jobs • Irrespective of your set price When you receive an LTO, make sure you go to the Offer Details page to review the Job Description, Brand Guidelines, Price Offered, and Content Provided (if applicable) before accepting. • Content Provided – if there is content provided for the job, you will be able to see snippet of content from each of the articles available. If you choose to accept the offer, you can pick which piece of content you want to publish. As always, the content you receive will be unique, and will not be given to any other influencers. • Job Description – instructions provided by the brand breaking down exactly what they want you to do • Brand Guidelines – if pr

In this help article, we will be providing some background on the updated approval process as it relates to indexation, guidance on how we will be handling non-indexed posts, what to do if you believe there is a false positive, some of the most common reasons a post does not get indexed, as well as tips on what you can do to ensure your post will be indexed in a timely manner.

Background on this update

The importance of a post, its content, and links getting indexed cannot be understated. Without indexation the SEO value is lost. The brands and agencies that use our service will only continue to do so if we’re able to ensure that value is not lost.

Recently, we have noticed an increase in completed posts that are not being indexed in what we would consider a reasonable amount of time (under 30 days), and some that are not indexed even months later. For this reason, we are updating our approval process to include indexation status. Please note, indexation has always been a requirement that is included with the instructions for every blog post and niche edit job. However, we have not required confirmation of indexation in order for the post to be approved for payment. Moving forward, we need to be more proactive about this, and we want our publishers to have a full understanding of this.

How we will be handling non-indexed posts

We have built out our own index crawler leveraging SEOwl.co. The crawler will be automatically checking any com

Question 4

Profile Completeness

Accepted Answer

The Profile Completeness percentage can be found on the main Dashboard page, and shows you how complete your profile is. If you have filled in all of the info we requested, uploaded a profile picture, and added a tagline, your profile will be 100%. If there is anything that you have not filled in, you will see a lower percentage.

All influencers should aim to have a 100% complete profile, as this will look more attractive to brands and marketers when they are searching through our platform. Additionally, by providing demographic info, you will be more likely to land opportunities that are a good fit for your audience. For this reason, we include Profile Completeness as one of the criteria to calculating your Influencer Score. The higher the percentage, the more points counted towards your Influencer Score. To learn more about Influencer Score, check out this help article.

If you Profile Completeness percentage is less than 100%, you can update your profile by clicking on the Profile button at the top of the page, and following the steps provided.

Question 5

What is the Waitlist?

Accepted Answer

The Waitlist is available on all Limited Time Opportunities if:

The campaign is still in progress and..
All offers have been picked up

If an LTO has already been filled, you will now see the wording Waitlist Available in place of Offers Remaining. If you would like to be added to the Waitlist, you can do so by clicking Go To Offer, reviewing the instructions, and clicking Join The Waitlist. If one of the offers becomes available again, you will be notified of this, and have the chance to opt-in.

From time to time, an offer will become available again after it has already been filled. This can happen for several reasons such as a publisher not reading the full instructions prior to accepting the offer, and subsequently having to decline it. By putting yourself on the Waitlist, you will have first opportunity to accept any offers that become available again. Additionally, by putting yourself on the Waitlist, you are letting us know that you are interested in accepting that offer. So, if we are sending out the same offer at a later time, we will be sure to send that LTO your way.

PLEASE NOTE: this is just a Waitlist – it does not guarantee that you will get that offer, but it will put you in prime position to grab it if something happens.
