Nobody likes waiting for their money. The good news is that on Influentials you don't have to chase brands yourself: the budget is reserved on the platform in advance. But there are a few things you can do yourself to make sure your payout isn't delayed.
When do you get paid?
You receive your payout through the platform 10 days after the campaign's end date. The condition is that you've delivered your content on time and the brand has approved it. If you deliver after the deadline, your payout may come later. Keep an eye on the end date of each campaign you take part in, so you know when to expect your payment.
What causes delays?
- Late delivery. If you deliver your content after the deadline, your payout may be made later than 10 days after the campaign's end date.
- Incomplete or incorrect payout details. Without correct details, we can't pay you.
- Content that hasn't been approved. Your payout is only made once the brand has approved your content.
- Many revisions. If your content needs to be adjusted several times, approval takes longer.
How to avoid late payments
- Complete your payout details right away. Do this as soon as you create your account, not only when you're expecting a payment.
- Check your details carefully. Make sure your bank details and name are correct. One wrong digit can cause a delay.
- Keep your details up to date. Have you changed banks or moved? Update your profile straight away.
- Deliver on time. Deliver your content before the deadline, preferably a little earlier. Late delivery can delay your payout, and delivering early leaves room for any feedback.
- Follow the brief. The better your content matches the brief, the fewer revisions are needed and the faster it's approved. Read How to read a brand brief properly for tips.
- Respond to feedback quickly. If the brand asks for adjustments, make them promptly so your content is approved before the campaign ends.
- Keep an eye on your messages. Check your notifications and email regularly during a campaign, so you don't miss questions or feedback from the brand.
Is your payment late anyway?
First check whether 10 days have passed since the campaign's end date, and whether you delivered your content on time. If you delivered late, your payout may come a little later. Then check that your payout details are complete and correct, and that the brand has approved your content. Is everything in order and you still haven't received anything? Contact Influentials support, and mention the name of the campaign so we can help you quickly.
Collaborations outside Influentials
If you also work with brands directly, agree on payment terms in writing in advance, such as the amount, the payment term and when you'll send your invoice. Send your invoice promptly, with a clear due date. That way you avoid misunderstandings and know where you stand.
