No real payout
A good option for super micro influencers. But, they make you pay for the product and then get reimbursed once you’ve posted. Which is, unfortunately, an out of pocket cost with no real payback for you. It’s important when working with brands that influencers, at the very least, receive free product at no cost to them. After all, the brand is getting free ad space from them as the brands also don’t offer compensation outside of the refund you receive for product.

Hi Mandy,
We apologize you were unsatisfied with our product compensation only campaign! We hope you understood that there was no monetary payments outside of the free product before joining the campaign. As for our reimbursement process, the reason we do this is to provide us with some insurance that influencers will complete their promotions. Many times in the past before implementing this process, influencers received their products and then decided not to post or respond to us with no way to recuperate loses. When you scale this issue up it can result in major problems which is why we have our reimbursement system in place. Hope that makes sense!
Very Best,
