Creator Portal: Update Your Payment Destination Today!

Posted on by marley

This Monday, People First finally made the transition from Stripes to Dots!

All creators should make their way to the Creator Portal and update their payment information. Simply head over to your Profile > Payout Center. From there, you’ll receive a text to your phone with your OTP verification code. Enter this, and from there you can select your preferred “Payment Destination,” including PayPal, Venmo, Cash App, or a direct deposit into a Bank Account.

Note: though every creator is encouraged to update their payment information, those who are currently participating in a campaign or waiting for a payment MUST select a new Payment Destination! 
If you have any concerns or questions regarding this update, please do not hesitate to reach out to our Finance Team via [email protected].

Creator Tip: Payments

Posted on by marley

Do you have questions about payouts on the Creator Portal? Here are our tips when it comes to receiving payment quickly and easily:

  • Tip 1: Update the Payout Center on your Creator Profile
    • Now that we’ve streamlined payments through the Creator Portal, it’s very important to make sure all of your information in the payout center is correct and updated with the correct bank account/debit card and the last 4 digits of your social. This information is verified by the IRS and payment on the Creator Portal could be restricted if it’s not accurate. In some cases, Stripe might request extra information for verification, e.g. identity document or your full SSN. Once these are verified, your account should be all set for payment!
  • Tip 2: Get Paid After Publishing Your Content
    • Once you have received approval & instructions for posting your content, you should go ahead and post your content as soon as possible! Never post your content before receiving explicit approval from a People First Representative. 
    • From there, publish the link to your live content on the Creator Portal. Please ensure that you are submitting the link to your post, and not your profile. Once this link has been submitted, a People First Representative will review your post to ensure that you have posted only the approved assets, and followed all of the instructions for posting. 
    • From there, you can expect to receive payment within 10-15 business days. Please allow an additional 1-2 days for the payout to hit your bank account. 
    • Failure to follow instructions for posting may lead to payment delays, so please ensure you’re reviewing your directions carefully. 
  • Tip 3: Determining your Rate
    • When applying to a new campaign, all creators have the option to suggest an alternative rate for the partnership.
    • The rate that is recommended to you varies across campaigns, as this rate is determined by the campaign’s budget, as well as your following size and the number of engagements you typically receive on each post. Keep in mind that People First offers competitive rates for creators with smaller followings, but higher engagement rates. 
    • A People First Representative will contact you via email or SMS if we believe your profile is a fit for the campaign, but we would like to negotiate a different rate for your partnership. 
    • If you and your People First Representative can come to an agreement about your rate, your application will likely be approved and you’ll be able to continue on with the partnership!
    • Please keep in mind that People First is a micro-influencer agency, and we may not be able to accommodate rates for macro-influencers.
  • Tip 5: Apply to Campaigns that Apply to You!
    • People First offers a variety of political and commercial campaigns that source creators from all backgrounds. However, some campaigns are limited to people of a certain age, race, gender, or region. Additionally, some campaigns may even require a People FIrst representative to confirm specific aspects about your circumstances, such as whether you’re a parent to a child between the ages of 10-14, or have experience cooking Keto meals! Be on the lookout for those emails, as we’ll need to hear from you first before we can approve your application.
