Get paid for posts you'd make anyway.

No. Anyone 18 or over in the US can join. Some brands want a student audience, so some briefs are for verified students only; add your university email in setup and those appear too. You can sign in with either address while your student status is valid.

Between $25 and $40 for a verified post on the briefs live today. Some briefs add a bonus on views or likes, worked out from your post when its hold ends; it is not counted here, because it depends on the post. We do not publish an average monthly figure, because we would be making it up — how much you make depends entirely on how many briefs you claim and whether your posts pass.

Only if you ask, and only for a claim you choose. By default you post natively, in your own words, and paste the link back; we read your own posts to verify them. Where it is available, you can choose "Let microreach set it up" on a claim instead: we set up that one brief on your account, with the caption you approved, in a browser session you signed in to yourself, and you tap Share (Post on TikTok) yourself. We never press it. Nothing is posted on a claim where you did not choose it.

Paying an individual real money in the US means knowing who they are. It is handled by our verification provider on their own pages — we never see the documents, only a reference and a verdict. It also stops one person running six accounts to collect the same referral bonus, which is the thing that kills platforms like this.

You verify with us once; Stripe asks for your ID again when you set up payouts, because banks require it. Stripe's check is its own, separate from ours, and it is Stripe that pays you. What you give Stripe, including your bank details and tax ID, stays with Stripe; we hold its reference and whether payouts are enabled.

You see exactly which check failed and why. Fix it and resubmit while the brief still has a free slot: a rejection gives the slot back, so somebody else may take it in the meantime. The most common one by far is a missing disclosure token. If a check cannot be decided — a platform outage, or we lost access to read your post — it goes to a person rather than being auto-rejected.

Your post did not pass a check, or a person turned it down, and the claim can still be fixed. The claim shows which check failed and why. Your slot was released when it was rejected, so somebody else can take it in the meantime: fix the post, or post a new one, and resubmit the link from the claim while the brief has a free slot. Resubmitting takes a slot again and runs every check again. Once the brief closes, the claim can no longer be resubmitted.

When a post is approved, what you keep from it is on hold for the brief's hold period, usually seven days from the approval. The post has to stay up for that time: a brand pays for a post people can see. Once the hold ends and we confirm the post is still up, the money moves to your available balance and is paid out from there. If the post comes down during the hold, the claim is reversed and that money goes back to the brand. Money on hold can only ever be paid out to your own bank, through Stripe.

Your post has to pass every check, then stay up for the brief's hold period, usually seven days. After that it moves to your available balance. A payout run pays you once $25.00 or more is available, and it goes to your bank through Stripe, usually landing within a couple of working days of being sent.

Your email addresses (and a university one, if you add it to verify student status), your display name and your social handles. We do not ask for your date of birth: microreach is for people 18 or over, as the sign-up page says. Not your bank details and not your ID — those stay with Stripe and our verification provider. You can download everything we hold, or have it deleted, from Account at any time. The money records have to stay for tax, and they refer to you by a meaningless id.
