Great news, creators! You’ve asked and we’ve listened. Over the past several months the People First team has been working with our network of creators to review your feedback and bring about big changes to the Creator Portal.

The time has come, and we couldn’t be more excited to bring to our community the newest version of the Creator Portal, coming out in just a few weeks…

Here’s what you can expect to see:

Tell us your Passions & Interests:

This feature will allow new AND existing users to tell us about their Passions and Interests. Select up to 5 interests so that we can get a sense of which campaign opportunities would be a fit for you. We’ll use this information to tailor your notifications, so that you hear right away when a campaign that aligns with your interests is added to the Creator Portal.

One of the largest changes coming to the Creator Portal will require ALL users to login with one their existing social media accounts (ex. Google, Instagram, TikTok, etc.) Why? This connection will allow for a more secure sign-in procedure. Additionally, the social connection integration provides People First with more insight into your social media’s profile analytics, which in turn allows People First to offer more competitive rates.

Applying to Campaigns Just Got Easier:

The newest version of the Creator Portal will help provide a seamless application experience. We will transition from separating campaign applications into “Image” and “Video.” Instead, users should select their desired campaign, toggle between their desired content type, and indicate the platform they intend to go live on. What’s more is that we’re offering more opportunities to create — beyond just Instagram and TikTok content. We’re encouraging all users to apply to campaigns with any of preferred social media platforms, whether that be Twitter, Snapchat, LinkedIn, Youtube, or Pinterest!

Application Justification

Are you the perfect candidate for a campaign & would like us to know? Some campaigns on the Creator Portal will come equipped with an Application Justification section, so that you can briefly explain to us why your story will make for a great contribution to the campaign. Additionally, there may be additional fields to check-off before applying, so that our team can confirm aspects about your background before bringing you into the campaign.

Apply & Re-Apply!

Did you come across a campaign that you loved participating in? If so, we’re allowing users the ability to re-apply to campaigns. Here, you can make additional pieces of content, or submit your original post to go live on a different social media platform. Please note this feature may not be enabled across all campaigns.

SMS notifications

Having trouble knowing when there’s an update regarding one of your campaigns? We know that emails get lost and that communication on different collaborations can be tricky. That’s why we’re dedicated to getting important information in front of you as soon as possible, which is why we’re turning on SMS notifications! Yes, users will receive a text message when there’s been an update regarding your application or submission. To update your notification settings, head over to your Profile to adjust your Settings to receive notifications via SMS.

Questions about these changes? Feel free to speak to a People First Representative on the Creator Portal, using the chat feature on the bottom right corner!

We appreciate your patience with us, as we value your honest feedback & our always at work to improve our user experience.

Hey creators~

People First is constantly updating the Creator Portal to give our community of content-creators the best user-experience possible. We appreciate your patience and feedback over the last several months!

One of our latest updates places a restriction on the number of campaigns in which creators can apply. Currently, this limit is set to a total of four campaigns. That is to say if you have applied to four campaigns already, you will need to wait until your profile has been reviewed and it has been confirmed that you’re a fit before applying to more campaigns. Fortunately, there is no restriction on the number of campaigns you can be approved for at any given time.

Why have we pivoted to limiting the number of applications? Here at People First, it’s important to us that creators are applying to campaigns in which they’re drawn to, as opposed to applying to campaigns in bulk. All of our campaigns offer a description that provides some preliminary background information on the campaign, and gives you, the creator, a sense of who the ideal candidate is. Please take the time to read these descriptions carefully, as you may find that some campaigns are not a match for you. Additionally, this restriction helps you, the creator, give your feed some breathing room, away from having too many sponsored posts.

We hope this change is something that helps our creator community, and allows interested applicants a faster turn around to confirm whether or not you have been approved to participate. As always, we look forward to reviewing your applications and seeing what you come up with!
