We are all about empowering influencers (that's you!) to take their content to the next level!
To make sure you continue to slay, we've got a few Golden Rules to help you elevate your game:
1. Respect the deadlines
Depending on the type of content that you have to create, you’ll have a specific deadline to follow for the posting of your content: 21 days for Instagram and TikTok content, 28 days for YouTube content and 14 day for gifted reviews.
Please note that your Skeepers account will be disabled after you have 3 or more expired credits. This can also damage your image in regard to the brands. If you have any issues, remember to reach out to the brands or with our customer service, we’ll be happy to help.
2. The review must stay live for 30 days
It is important that the content stays live for at least 30 days, as if it does not, the system will notice this and the credit will expire. This is because, as part of a collaboration, the content is supposed to attract visibility for the brand. By deleting the content before time, you’re not allowing this to happen. You will have to publish a new review within 5 days, otherwise, your order will be expired.
3. Public status of your social account
Since we’re talking about a commercial collaboration, the goal is to attract as much people as possible and in order for that to be the case, your account has to be as accessible as possible. This also applies to the like count on your content, as it allows the brands to see how well their collaborations are doing in terms of audience engagement

5. Visibility of the product/brand
Since it is a promotion regarding the brand’s product, it is very important for the product and its results to be front and center on your content for the audience to see.
6. Give a truthful and honest opinion
The most important thing for brands is to see how the public reacts to them, whether it is good or bad. Remember to be as transparent as possible when describing your personal experience with the product, all while explaining and giving your opinion.
7. Mention of the brand in the description
Do not forget to add the name and/or the tag of the brand within the description of your content. Remember that in this situation, both of you are partners and are supposed to promote each other.
8. One campaign per post
Campaigns are meant to highlight a specific product chosen by the brand whether it is a new product or a bestseller, and so, it is important for it to be the main and only center of attention.
No other brands or products, even if from the same brand (unless it is a bundle), should appear and deviate attention from the main product. Brands won’t appreciate this, as they expect their specific product to be the main topic.
