The Influencer guide

How influencer bookings work

Get booked for packages: videos, appearances, events, whitelisted ads. Paid per milestone, under a contract.

Brands want you specifically, and reputation matters more than follower count.

The campaign, explained

Know the work before you commit.

What gets made, who does what and how payment is determined. The brief or signed agreement sets the terms for each campaign.

Influencer package

Book a specific creator for a defined collaboration, with clear deliverables and milestones.

What gets made
Content, appearances, event work or usage rights
Where it goes
Files, channel posts or other deliverables named in the contract
How it is priced
Milestone fees, or an explicit product exchange

The creator brings it to life

  1. Review the invitation, track requirements, schedule and conflicts before committing.

  2. Read and sign the contract only when the deliverables, amount, retention and rights match the agreement.

  3. Deliver each milestone on its due date. Post only when the contract includes a channel post.

  4. Track each approval, any retained amount and the separate payout release. Report delays or scope changes early.

The brand sets the brief

  1. Select the creator and define the collaboration, audience fit, dates, deliverables and usage scope.

  2. Issue a contract with milestone amounts, due dates and any retention. Confirm acceptance before treating it as booked.

  3. Review each milestone against the signed scope, including any separate rights grant.

  4. Approve eligible milestones and follow their payout status. Complete the package's remaining obligations and retention process.

Payment and evidence

Is the package paid all at once?

Each milestone has an agreed amount. Approving an eligible milestone queues its payment, less any contract retention. A booking is not automatically priced by views, even when it includes a public post.

What is retention?

Retention is the disclosed portion held back until the package's completion conditions are met. Read the percentage before signing. Approval, release of retention and an actual money transfer are distinct states.

Can a collaboration be a product exchange?

Where a package explicitly offers a product or voucher fee, read its exchange terms instead of assuming a cash milestone payout. Agree what is provided and what must be delivered; the listed product value is not withdrawable earnings.

The details to agree

Are ad rights included in a post?

Do not assume so. The contract can contain a separate rights grant defining organic reposting, paid ads, whitelisting or a buyout, with its scope and duration. Check the actual grant before using the content.

What if a date or commitment changes?

Record the change with the other party before relying on it. For a missed commitment, use the contract's incident process and give the creator a chance to respond. A replacement creator is not guaranteed.

Which delivery route should you use?

Published work uses the campaign's post-link form. For file-only work, agree the file handoff through the order or contract before accepting. The current campaign post form does not accept direct video uploads. Do not publish content just to make file-only work fit that form.

Affiliate campaigns require a creator-channel post. Clipping, UGC and influencer work can use an agreed file handoff or channel post, but a view-priced campaign still needs a measurable published post.

Approval is not a bank transfer.

Creative review, evidence checks, settlement and payout release are separate steps. Vouched remains in closed alpha; these guides do not announce public access or real payouts.

Your questions, answered.

How does milestone payment work?
The package is split into pieces, each with its own fee and date. Deliver the milestone and get it approved. Its eligible payment, less any agreed retention, enters the payout queue for admin review and release.
What is the holdback?
Retention is the portion held under the contract's completion conditions. Read the actual percentage before signing rather than assuming a standard rate. Release of retained value and the completed payout transfer are separate states.
The brand went quiet on approvals. What now?
Check the review window in your contract and contact support if it has passed. Milestone approval and payment release are separate decisions; silence is not proof that either has happened.
Does every package require a post on my channel?
No. A package can include delivered videos, channel posts, appearances or usage rights. Your contract states which deliverables and channels are included; agree them before you sign.
Do I have to accept every booking?
No. Read the package, decline anything that does not fit, and there is no penalty for saying no before you accept. The penalty is only for saying yes and then disappearing.
What if I have to cancel after accepting?
Tell the brand early and use the contract's cancellation or incident process. Read the applicable terms and recorded decision. Do not assume a standard cancellation charge or that giving notice automatically ends the agreement.
What if I get sick the day before a shoot?
Tell the brand as soon as you can and record the reason through the contract's cancellation or incident process. Ops reviews the circumstances. Do not assume a replacement creator is available or that the booking has changed until it is confirmed.
Who owns the content?
Check the contract's ownership and usage grant, including channels and dates. Ask about unclear or missing terms before accepting. Additional uses and extensions need agreement; publishing or receiving payment does not automatically grant every possible right.
Why do checks matter more here than on other rails?
A booked collaboration includes future commitments, so the brand needs to assess fit and dependability before accepting. Read the badge's meaning alongside the creator's work and evidence. Checks do not guarantee delivery, and clipping also requires creative review rather than numbers alone.
How do I get the gold check?
Open Checks & badges in your profile to see your current standing and the requirements or review route shown. Account verification, track access and recognition badges are different states. Completing a form or paying for a plan does not promise an upgrade.
What does gold actually get me?
Read the current badge explanation in your profile. It communicates recorded standing, not a guaranteed invitation, ranking position, campaign acceptance or amount of earnings. The campaign's eligibility and the brand's decision still apply.
What gets me removed?
These are examples of conduct that can lead to review or loss of access. They are not an exhaustive policy list; the applicable terms and recorded decision matter.
  • Buying views or using bots.
  • Posting someone else's work as your own.
  • Not saying a post is paid.
  • Taking a booking and then disappearing.
Do I have to say my post is an ad?
Disclose paid or gifted work as required by the brief and the platform, including its paid-partnership setting where applicable. Do not present a paid recommendation as an independent one.
I said yes to something but I cannot do it anymore.
Tell the brand early through the work's message or incident route. Check the agreement's cancellation terms and keep the reason with the record. Notice does not automatically cancel an obligation or guarantee a particular fee outcome.
Something went wrong and it was not my fault.
Use the relevant work or incident record to explain what happened and provide evidence. For an account problem, contact support through Feedback. Keep the reference number and recorded outcome; do not assume a report has automatically reversed a restriction or released payment.
Can I be in an exclusive campaign and take other work?
Read the actual exclusivity scope and dates before accepting. Restrictions can affect which other work you may take. Do not assume all exclusivity covers every activity, or that Vouched can prevent an off-platform conflict for you.

What each tier gets you

There are two separate ladders and they never mix. Checks are earned by doing the work and cost nothing. Plans are things you pay for, and they only unlock tools. Money cannot get you a check, and no check is ever withheld from someone who qualifies.

Checks, earned and free

Basic check

Free

You proved who you are and where your money goes.

  • Join any campaign you qualify for
  • Request a payout; admin sends the batch to GCash or Maya

Blue check

Free

You verified your social accounts, finished a few campaigns, and your score is high enough. Given automatically the moment you qualify.

  • Brands invite you instead of you applying
  • Your real results are shown to brands
  • Campaigns that need a proven track record

Gold check

Free

A person reviews you. Only creators who already hold a blue check can ask.

Plans, optional

Creator Free

₱0

Start with your phone, your ideas and the time you have.

Creator Pro

See pricing

Extra creative tools when you are ready for them.

Paying for Pro does not move your score, your check, or where you appear in a brand's list. If that ever stopped being true, the score would be worthless to the brands reading it.

Your score

A score that shows how reliable you are. At the start it is only a guess, based on your content and who follows you, and we label it as a guess so nobody mistakes it for a record. Once you finish campaigns, your real results replace the guess. You get a separate score for each kind of work, because clipping and influencer work are not the same job.

Moves it up

  • Finishing on time
  • Getting approved the first time
  • Keeping your posts up until you are paid
  • Real people watching and commenting
  • Finishing what you start

Moves it down

  • Handing work in late
  • Needing the same work fixed over and over
  • Cancelling, though telling us early costs much less
  • Going quiet after you accepted a job
  • Complaints proven true after you have had your say
  • Taking a post down before you are paid

Changes nothing

  • How many followers you have
  • Paying for Pro
  • How much a brand spends
  • Living in Manila or in a province

Why we do not show the exact formula

If we published the exact maths, people would work the maths instead of doing the work, and then the score would stop meaning anything to the brands reading it. So we show you what counts and which way it moves, and we keep the weights private. Every change to your score comes with a reason you can read, so it is never a mystery.

Know the fee before you accept

Vouched's platform fee is paid by the brand, not deducted from the creator's rate. Your eligible amount still follows the agreed payment model, evidence, caps and any contract retention. Check those terms before starting.

You can run more than one rail
