Got questions? We have answers
Questions are divided for both creators and brands. If you don't see your question, please reach out to hello@tryscoutsocial.com and someone will get back to you as soon as possible.
What does it cost?
Creators are not charged for using Scout! Scout makes money by selling campaign credits to brands. These credits can be used to feature campaigns at the top of search results.
Why should I use Scout?
For a lot of creators, it can be difficult to find sponsorships. Scout provides a searchable directory that gives creators the opportunity to find brands they want to work with across any platform. It also saves time by making campaign directions, budget, and qualifications clear before any contact is made.
How many followers do I need to use Scout?
In most cases, you should have at least 10,000 followers or subscribers before applying for brand campaigns. However, some brands might include exceptions to this. Please refer to the specific campaign qualifications for details.
What happens after I submit an application?
After you submit an application, your information will be sent to the brand for review. If successful, someone in charge of the brand campaign will reach out for next steps. If you don't hear a response within 7 days, your application will likely not be proceeding.
I still have questions. Who can I contact?
If you still have questions, please reach out to support@scoutsocial.io and someone will get back to you as soon as possible.
Why should I list my campaign on Scout?
Let's be honest, even with affiliate marketing software, finding creators can still be a challenge. Whether it's slow response times, rate negotiations, or just finding the right fit, it takes time.
Scout acts as a complementary option for brands looking to fulfill campaigns faster and more efficiently. Your campaign listings can provide clear content expectations, budgets, and qualifications which puts you and the creator on the same page before you even make contact.
I already use affiliate marketing software. Is Scout a replacement for that?
Scout is a cheap, complementary solution to your affiliate marketing software. However, it is likely not a complete alternative.
Companies oftentimes use a recruiting firm, Indeed, and LinkedIn simultaneously to fill a position. Scout is another tool in your tool belt.
How much does Scout cost?
Scout provides a free listing option for all brands looking to list a campaign.
However, brands can also purchase campaign credits to feature their listings at the top of the search results. Featured campaigns increase applicant traffic and can fill a campaign much faster than free campaigns.
How long does it take for a campaign to be approved?
To reduce potential redundancies, all campaigns must go through a manual review process. For new brands, we'll also need information to populate a brand profile page.
On average, this process takes 1-2 business days. If more information is needed, we'll contact you.
Do you offer discounts for non-profits?
