Last Updated: August 2, 2026

Welcome to Promote It

Promote It is a community where brands and creators come together to create amazing content and build meaningful partnerships. These guidelines help everyone have a positive, productive, and professional experience.

Think of these as the "golden rules" for being a great member of our community. For detailed legal policies, see our Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy.

Our Core Values

🀝 Be Authentic

Real followers, real engagement, real you. Authenticity builds trust and creates better partnerships.

πŸ’¬ Communicate Clearly

Clear expectations lead to great results. Be specific about what you need or what you can deliver.

⚑ Deliver Quality

Whether you're creating content or running campaigns, quality matters. Take pride in your work.

🌟 Respect Everyone

Treat others how you want to be treated. Professional, respectful, and kind interactions always.

For Creators

βœ… Do's

  • Be yourself - Your authentic voice is what brands value
  • Be honest about your metrics - Real numbers build real partnerships
  • Read campaign briefs carefully - Understanding requirements saves everyone time
  • Deliver on time - Respect deadlines and communicate if you need more time
  • Disclose sponsorships - Make a clear, conspicuous disclosure such as #ad when appropriate and follow the law that applies to your audience
  • Create or properly license content - Make sure every submitted element is authorized
  • Ask questions - If something isn't clear, just ask
  • Be professional - Even in casual chats, maintain professionalism

❌ Don'ts

  • Buy fake followers or engagement - Manipulation may lead to restrictions up to permanent termination
  • Inflate your metrics - Honesty is the best policy
  • Game Program rules - Do not manipulate minimum views, caps, cycles, rankings, referrals, or rewards
  • Copy others' work - Plagiarism hurts everyone
  • Ignore feedback - Brands invest time in giving you direction
  • Ghost brands - If you can't complete a campaign, communicate early
  • Reuse content without permission - Unless rights are clearly specified

For Brands

βœ… Do's

  • Write clear briefs - The clearer you are, the better the content
  • Specify usage rights - Tell creators exactly what rights you need
  • Set realistic expectations - Great content takes time
  • Review submissions promptly - After 72 hours, an eligible submission may auto-approve when Program status and funding rules are satisfied
  • Keep your shared wallet funded - Active Programs and accrued creator rewards must remain covered
  • Give constructive feedback - Help creators understand what you need
  • Treat creators professionally - Respect their role and the terms governing your relationship
  • Pay on time - Honor your commitments
  • Be responsive - Answer questions and provide guidance

❌ Don'ts

  • Make vague requests - "Make it viral" isn't a brief
  • Ask for free work - "Exposure" doesn't pay bills
  • Request unrealistic deliverables - Be fair in your expectations
  • Reject without reason - Give creators feedback they can use
  • Expect unlimited revisions - Be clear upfront about revision policies
  • Steal content - Only use content according to agreed terms
  • Change terms to avoid payment - A cancellation or edit does not erase valid rewards already earned
