Question 1

How do campaigns work on Illuminait?

Accepted Answer

Brands post campaigns as either clipping (short clips from existing brand content) or influencer (original posts on your own channels). You browse open campaigns, apply with a short pitch, and once the brand accepts you, you submit your clip or post link for review.

Question 2

How much can creators actually earn?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the campaign. Clipping campaigns pay a rate per 1,000 views (set by the brand — often $1–$5 per 1K), so a clip with 500K views on a $2/1K campaign earns $1,000. Influencer campaigns pay a flat rate per approved post, which the brand sets in the brief. Your total earnings are capped by each campaign's budget.

Question 3

How does compliance certification work?

Accepted Answer

Take our 8-question quiz on FTC disclosure rules and platform ad-labeling policies. Score 80% or higher and you get a Compliance Certified badge on your profile, unlocking campaigns that require certified creators. You can retake the quiz any time if you don't pass.

Question 4

How do submissions and payouts work?

Accepted Answer

Once accepted, submit your clip or post link (plus view count for clipping). The brand reviews and approves or rejects. Approved clipping submissions pay (views ÷ 1000) × the campaign's per-1K rate; approved influencer submissions pay the campaign's flat rate. Approved payouts show up in your Earnings section immediately.

Question 5

Why might a submission get rejected?

Accepted Answer

Common reasons: the content doesn't match the brief, missing required disclosure (#ad, Paid partnership label, etc.), wrong platform, low-quality edit, view counts that don't match what the platform shows, or posting before being formally accepted. Brands include specifics in the brief — read it carefully.

Question 6

How is Illuminait different for brands vs. creators?

Accepted Answer

Brands use Illuminait to launch pay-per-view clipping campaigns and flat-rate influencer campaigns, review applicants, and approve submissions with automatic budget tracking. Creators use it to find paid campaigns that match their niche, apply, submit work, and get paid — all from one dashboard.
