Even though you purchased the product you're sharing, as required by the FTC, creators using Bounty will need to disclose that they may choose to accept compensation for their posts. We require creators to use #bounty on any post they're considering submitting for a Bounty, to let other users on social media know they may choose to claim compensation for their post.

Per FTC Guidelines, “It’s fine (but not necessary) to include a hashtag with the disclosure, such as #ad or #sponsored.” Before posting a Bounty, be sure to review the guidelines to make sure your post is eligible for payment. Most of the time all that will be required to ensure you, Bounty and the brand you’re sharing to remain compliant will be to use #bounty, but some of our brand partners will require a more specific hashtag along the lines of #brandxyzpartner. So be sure to always review the guidelines before posting. Bounty will be unable to approve your payout until the designated hashtag has been added.

Anyone 18 years of age or older in the US or Canada with a TikTok or Instagram account! You'll also want to have a PayPal account if located in Canada so we can send you your earnings.

Check out our constantly growing list of Bounty Brand Partners here! Is there a brand you'd like us to add? Let us know here: support@bounty.co.

The better your video performs in the first 48 hours, the more you get paid! You can earn up to $10 for every 1,000 views your content recieves. Plus, you'll get paid every time a brand uses your content. As content gets more views the price per view goes down gradually to ensure a fair return for you and the brand.

But don't worry, virality isn't everything. We've seen great videos earn hundreds of dollars when the brands license them, even videos that got less than 1,000 organic views. So just focus on creating authentic, creative content and we'll take care of the rest!

To maximize video performance and reach, we recommend 1 TikTok or Instagram Reel per order. Be sure to claim the Bounty in your Bounty Account before posting each video so we can handle view tracking for you!

Once you have created approved content, the funds you earn sit in a pending status for 15 days. After funds clear this holding period, they are available for withdraw from your Bounty Account via Stripe. Simply submit a withdrawal request from your Bounty Account, and funds will be sent to you within 1-3 business days.

TikTok and Instagram Reels are currently supported, but we're looking into jumping into more socials soon!

Clear audio, centered product focus, and great energy all make for fantastic content that brands love to see! Be sure to avoid swearing, have a 1-3 second hook to grab your audience's attention, tag the brand, and leave that awesome video public for at least 15 days so brands have the option to use your content as a Spark Ad if you posted on TikTok and pay you even more money!

Let's face it, not every purchase we make is our favorite. If that's the case with a purchase that's eligible for Bounty, it's not a video for Bounty. If you still want to share your review, you should! We aren't here to tell you what to post. We're here to help you get paid when you share products you love and help your favorite brands grow. We're democratizing influencer marketing for you, the real customers!

While you do get paid based on content views, you also have the opportunity to get paid again if brands want to license your content to use as a Spark Ad on TikTok. Positive, energetic, and product centered content tends to be noticed by brands the most!

Swearing and/or using sounds that have swearing in them, poor lighting, distracting or unclear audio, rough transitions, giveaways, and promotional or referral codes are all things to avoid when getting your Bounty approved. If you have a question about an idea, feel free to reach out to Bounty and we'd be happy to help you make a decision!

When you create content for an eligible Bounty order, you grant Bounty a license to the content, and you also retain a license to the content. Our license allows Bounty to sublicense the content to the brand on your behalf.

Shoot us an email at support@bounty.co if you need any help at all, we'd love to help!

If you haven't received a text from Bounty letting you know your post is being tracked:

1. Make sure you have accepted the Bounty on the Bounty web app.
2. Please note it may take up to an hour to find your Bounty after you accept it from inside the Bounty web app. We’ll send you a text to let you know as soon as we detect it.
3. Your TikTok or Instagram Reel must be publicly shared.
4. You must @ the brand in the video caption (Not on the video itself, or in the comments) and include the designated hashtag designated in the Bounty guidelines. Most of the time this will be #bounty, but some of our brand partners will require a more specific hashtag along the lines of #brandxyzpartner. So be sure to always review the guidelines before posting.

If you are still having problems contact our support team at support@bounty.co.

The standard Bounty payout starts at $1 per 100 views, but can vary from brand to brand. You can view the starting payout for a specific brand by clicking on the Bounty widget on the brand's site (either on the Product Page or the Thank You Page after you complete your purchase).

No. Bounty is not a reviews service. Bounty helps make influencer marketing accessible to real customers. Brands and customers are tired of influencers who promote products they don't actually buy or use. Brands would rather work with real customers who use and love their product! That said, it's very difficult to do, because it takes a lot of time to find the right people who truly love your product and want to create content about it, especially if they don't have a large audience—But that's where Bounty comes in! Our service allows real customers to work with their favorite brands as content creators anytime they want, and ensures any time brands want to use your content in their marketing they have to pay you for it. That way, the more value you create for your favorite brands the more you benefit!

Nope! There’s no cap on the number of views you’re paid for, but keep in mind you're only paid for organic views generated in the first 48 hours. Check out our homepage for a helpful calculator that can give you a good idea of how much you can make at certain view count milestones!

There is a monthly subscription cost associated with your plan, as well as a price per video (PPV) cost which helps cover things like content reviews, SMS notifications, and transactional fees. You'll also set up a budget when signing up for Bounty which is the amount you're willing to spend on UGC for the month. The budget can be as low as $1,000 USD or as high as $100,000 USD, and you'll only ever be billed for what you spend in a month. Bounty bills through Shopify on your normal Shopify billing cadence.

We currently only offer services to shoppers and creators in the US and Canada, but we hope to see this change soon. If you have a large customer base in the US and/or Canada, feel free to sign up!

You can also choose to show Bounty user experiences on your website only in certain countries, however Bounty will only work for creators based in the United States and Canada.

Bounty helps to automate UGC and manage creator marketing on TikTok & Instagram for a fraction of the cost of an agency. We're able to help with the following:

Activation: Prompt and reward customers for sharing their purchases on TikTok & Instagram.

• Let your customers know about the opportunity to share the love for your brand and products on TikTok & Instagram through Bounty user experiences.
• Creators have 7 days from the order delivery date to post content. We'll help to activate them using an SMS drip campaign.
• They’re paid for views after the first 48 hours, but must leave content up for 15 days for approval.

Seeding: Automate product gifting & order creation to new or existing creators.

• Configure gifts using any item from your Shopify inventory or simply provide creators a one-off opportunity to post if they already have your product.
• Invites are specialized message flows designed to incentivize different segments of people to join your community of creators on Bounty. This allows you to invite creators you both know and don't know to post content for your brand through Bounty. This feature is also a great way to activate previous customers so they can complete a Bounty for a previous purchase.

Storage: Automatically download, save & organize content in high resolution.

• The Content Library allows you to review all approved content for your brand. These are posts that followed all content guidelines and were approved for payment.
• Find the highest performing content by combining content library filters like "Most Viewed" + "Last Month"
• Click into each piece of content to dig deeper. You're able to play the creator's video directly within the dashboard and view related metrics from TikTok, Instagram and Bounty. You can also view their order total and click through to view order details on Shopify.
• See content that you love? Star it to add to your favorites. This makes it easy to review later, especially if you want to run the content as an ad.

Fuel your ads: Manage Spark Codes directly in Bounty.

• UGC can be especially powerful when run as an ad or reposted on your own social media channels. The Content Library allows you to request Spark Codes and download any approved content.
• If you'd like to run a TikTok video as a Spark Ad, the first step is requesting a Spark Code from the creator. We'll handle outreach to the creator and provide their Spark Code to you if they approve the request. You're then able to use their Spark Code to run a 30-day Spark Ad.

Discovery: Access Bounty creator network & get listed in our store directory.

• The Shop page allows creators to discover new brands to purchase from and then post content. Creators are able to browse brands both by the products they offer as well as the creator incentives offered through Bounty. They can then click through to your website to complete a purchase.
• The Bounty creator network allows you to discover new creators who have a Bounty account but aren't affiliated with another store. If you see a creator who you think is a good fit for your brand, you can engage with them through the product gifting feature. Please note, access to the Bounty creator network requires a 'Grow' or 'Custom' plan.

Bounty does not currently track ROAS within the brand dashboard.

At this time, the best approach is to look at engagement of a post and then run as an ad to see provided metrics. For example, running TikTok content as a Spark Ad in a Video Shopping Ad, and then tracking the Initiate Checkout (Onsite) metric within your TikTok Ads Manager account.

The metrics you have access to in Bounty are focused on the following:

• Overall trends with assets and creators
• Video engagement metrics for approved content
• Payout and related order totals for approved content
• Gift specific metrics, including conversion rate and a count of total gifts granted

New Assets and Creators

The homepage on your brand dashboard shows a count of new assets and new creators. You're able to adjust the date range considered using the drop-down menu in the upper right-hand corner.

New Assets is the number of approved videos created during a given date range. After creators accept a Bounty and post a video, our internal review team will use automated and manual methods to check for adherence to content guidelines. If a creator's post follows all of the rules, we'll approve it, and it will be counted as a "new asset".

New Creators is the number of users who signed up for Bounty through your store, completed and order, and finished setting up their Bounty creator account. These are users who are ready to post content as soon as their order arrives.

Individual Video Metrics

For each piece of approved content, we'll show related platform and payout metrics.

We track views, likes, comments, and shares for the first 48 hours after a post goes live. These metrics are displayed around the embedded video player.

Below the post description, you'll find the creator payout amount, post date, clickable order number, and order total. If you click on the order number, you'll be brought to the order details within Shopify.

Gift Metrics

If you send out gift offers to creators through Invites, you can monitor conversion rate and volume of offers sent.

After clicking onto a gift item and selecting the 'History' tab, you'll see the following metrics:

• Total gifts granted: how many times you've sent this gift through Invites
• Gift conversion rate: The percentage of gifts claimed out of the total number of gifts granted. If they do not finish the claim flow completely (filling out their address to receive a gift, e.g.), they will still be counted here.

More information, including detailed steps on viewing the results of gifts, is available.

Yes! We now support Instagram Reels, too.

Bounty helps to automate UGC and manage creator marketing on TikTok & Instagram for a fraction of the cost of an agency. In addition to generating UGC, Bounty reviews all content for you and ensures it meets the requirements you've set in place. Content for Bounty is posted to TikTok & Instagram by creators, but can be downloaded, run as Spark Ads, and/or run in ad campaigns across all social platforms and email campaigns!

You can sign up for Bounty at bounty.co/brands right now! Once you confirm your subscription, you can enable all user experiences from your Bounty account dashboard. You have access to Bounty's FAQ knowledge-base, as well as a Support team who'd love to help! Once setup is done, there is typically a 10-14 day adoption period while your customers wait to receive their orders before they can start posting.

Bounty has an affiliates program through Tapfiliate. You can use this link to sign up.

We pay out 100% of the first month's subscription for each conversion in two payments over 6 months. Put simply: if you sign up a $299 / month brand through your link and they are still with us after 6 months, you get the full $299.

If you just run an ecommerce newsletter or are an influencer in the space you are welcome to join our affiliates program.

The specific terms of the program can be found in this up-to-date article.

Bounty has partnered with Stripe for all withdrawal transactions from your Bounty account to your connected bank account. There is a $10 minimum withdrawal amount when using stripe. If you are short of this minimum withdrawal amount, take a look at our store directory and unlock a Bounty from a brand who offers a first time minimum payout amount that will get you over that $10 mark!
