Question 1

How long until I hear back?

Accepted Answer

We review every Friday. Most applicants hear within 5 business days. If you haven't heard in 10, ping hello@audiagency.com.

Question 2

Do I need a minimum follower count?

Accepted Answer

No. We've signed creators at 8K with strong taste and 1.2M with weak engagement. We weigh quality of audience and consistency over raw count.

Question 3

Can I re-apply if rejected?

Accepted Answer

Yes — after 90 days. Address the decision note in your new pitch. We track re-applications and notice the growth.

Question 4

Do you sign internationally?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We currently work with creators in the US, UK, Canada, AU, NL, DE, FR, JP, KR, and BR. We handle Wise transfers and W-8BEN paperwork.

Question 5

Can I apply without a TikTok?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Strong on one platform beats average on three. Tell us where you live and why.

Question 6

What does the contract actually say?

Accepted Answer

Standard: 15% of brand deals we source, 20% on inbound we negotiate. 12-month term, 60-day notice to leave, sunset clause on deals we sourced for 90 days after exit.

Question 7

Do I lose control of my brand?

Accepted Answer

No. You approve every deal. We pitch and negotiate, you have final say. We will tell you when we think you should pass.

Question 8

Who is my point of contact?

Accepted Answer

A dedicated talent manager, US-hours, Slack DM access. Weekly 15-min check-in, monthly strategy review.

Question 9

What if I already have a deal in the works?

Accepted Answer

Pre-existing deals don't fall under commission. Disclose them in onboarding — we still help you paper them up.

Question 10

Why is Free identical to the Influencer tier?

Accepted Answer

Because the deal isn't a subscription — it's representation. If we sign you (Free Apply), you get every perk on the Influencer column at $0. We make money when you do.

Question 11

What if I'm not signed but still want some perks?

Accepted Answer

Starter ($9.99) keeps you on the public roster and digest. Growth ($19.99) adds featured placement and 3 warm brand intros/month. Influencer ($44.99) is the white-glove tier identical to signed treatment.

Question 12

Can I cancel anytime?

Accepted Answer

Yes. No annual contracts. Your listing stays live 30 days after cancel so you don't lose inbound.

Question 13

Is there a free trial on paid plans?

Accepted Answer

No trial, but 7-day refund no questions asked.

Question 14

How do PR packages work?

Accepted Answer

Brands submit briefs. We match by niche, follower band, and audience geo. You see open call-outs in your dashboard and request the ones you want. Verify a social account to unlock.

Question 15

Am I obligated to post?

Accepted Answer

If you accept a PR package, the expectation is posting within 14 days unless the brief says otherwise. Repeat no-posts drop you off priority lists.

Question 16

Do I pay for PR?

Accepted Answer

Never. Brands cover shipping and the value of the product. Posting is the only exchange.

Question 17

Who handles shipping addresses?

Accepted Answer

We collect once on onboarding and forward to brands per-package. Never shared in bulk.

Question 18

How much do I earn per referral?

Accepted Answer

$5 per Starter signup, $15 per Growth signup, $25 per Influencer signup. Paid monthly on the 1st via the same payout rail as brand deals.

Question 19

Where do I get my link?

Accepted Answer

Your dashboard generates a unique referral code automatically. Share https://audiagency.com/?ref=YOURCODE.

Question 20

Do self-referrals count?

Accepted Answer

No. Same-email or same-payment-method referrals are auto-disqualified.

Question 21

When does a referral 'count'?

Accepted Answer

When the referee completes 30 days on a paid plan without refund. Refunds reverse the commission.

Question 22

When do I get paid?

Accepted Answer

Brand pays us, we pay you within 5 business days. Net-30 enforced on brands; we chase, not you.

Question 23

What about taxes?

Accepted Answer

We file 1099s in the US, equivalents internationally. Onboarding collects W-9/W-8BEN before first payout.

Question 24

What currencies do you pay in?

Accepted Answer

USD by default. Wise for FX — you receive in your local currency at mid-market rate.
