Getting started as a creator on viral.app
How creators find paid UGC work, post videos that get tracked, and get paid on viral.app, and which guide to read next.
viral.app is where app brands pay creators for short-form videos. You find a job in the marketplace or join a brand that invited you, post the videos from the brief, and viral.app counts your views and works out your pay. Creators use it for free.
At a glance
Which kind of creator you are
How you joined decides what you see in the app. These docs call you a marketplace creator or an invited creator.
From sign-up to your first payout
- Get in. Finish onboarding as a marketplace creator, or accept a brand's invitation.
- Get hired. Apply to jobs, or answer a job offer a brand sent you. Invited creators skip this step.
- Get set up. The brand assigns you to a campaign and chooses which of your accounts it tracks.
- Read the brief. It opens the next time you use viral.app, and you mark it as read.
- Post on pace. Publish from the tracked account and keep up with the campaign's video target. Post videos that count.
- Get paid. When a payout period ends, the brand approves your payout and you claim it.
