Get off to a great start

Welcome to the family!

Hey creator! 👋🏼 
It seems like you made it through the application process and have successfully been accepted onto Dreaminfluence. Now your journey as an influencer and/or UGC creator can start and Dreaminfluence is exactly the place to do that. But how do you get off to a great start? In this article we have gathered all the information you need to know, to be able to navigate through the platform and make sure you find the right and valuable collaboration that creates great gain for both brands and yourself. 

Find your niche

Once accepted on the platform, many creators apply to lots of different brands - which is totally understandable. However, promoting too many brands can make your profile feel overly commercial, reduce engagement, and make you less attractive to future collaborations.

It’s important to focus on what you genuinely like and feel passionate about. The best collaborations come from authentic matches - not just the desire for free products.

When you know your direction, you can find relevant brands in the app under “Explore,” and use the filter button to narrow down your search.

All brands on Dreaminfluence are categorized, making them easy to explore. When you find a brand you like, click “View brand” to see key details like their description, compensation, benefits, and ideal creator profile.

Be sure to read everything carefully, as requirements can vary: Some brands only offer product collaborations, ask for an application message, or have specific expectations.

When ready, click “Apply now” at the bottom. The brand (typically managed by a brand or SoMe manager) reviews applications and decides who to accept. This is entirely their decision - and Dreaminfluence cannot interfear or affect this aspect of the application-proces.

Once you've joined a team

If you get selected to join a team: CONGRATULATIONS! You can now join any campaign that the brand might have. This is where the magic happens and where you can create synergies together. You will find all open campaigns in the app under "home". Here you will find a slider, what shows "Your open campaigns":

If you want the full view, please press "View all" and you will be forwarded to the complete view of all campaigns you can join across all teams that you are a member of. If you find a campaign that you think looks or seem interesting, you click into that specific campaign and read more about it. You'll find:

• The brief description (overall understand of the campaign)
• Important information such as deadlines
• Detailed description and brief of the content you need to provide and/or publish on your social media account
• Compensation

This part of the collaboration is very important. Everything you read in the brief, is legally a contract that will make you obligated to deliver what the brief dictates. Therefore we suggest you read it through narrowly and take your time to understand the assignment and the collaboration before joining. If you think everything looks good and you understand the obligations - you can press "Join campaign" at the bottom of the page:

At this point, all the tasks (content pieces) that you need to create and/or publish will be shown in your dashboard on the frontpage ("Home") with a countdown for the deadline, a specific description of the content you need to provide and other important information. When clicking into the tasks, everything will show:

• Content status
• Your performance so far (if you need to publish multiple content pieces)
• The campaign brief
• The assignment details

At the bottom you'll also find a link to share with your followers and/or discount code that you can share with your followers to drive sales (not all campaigns will include this). It's very important you copy-paste the link to need to share, as each influencer has a unique code, making it possible for the brands to track performance individually on each influencer. 

Make an effort

The first campaign is always special and each first campaign you might have on a team is a way to show who you are and what content you can create. This is when you show the brand, that they should keep you on the team, increase your compensation moving forward and make you an ambassador for that specific brand.

To succeed, keep these in mind:

• Respect deadlines: They’re often tied to launches or time sensitive
• Follow next steps from the brand (e.g. ordering products or booking)
• Plan your content in advance using your calendar
• Double-check requirements before posting (links, approvals, etc.)
• Communicate early if delays happen. This shows professionalism

Strong, reliable delivery increases your chances of future collaborations and better compensation.

Content submission

When you upload your content, you should include two things in your caption (regardless the content type and platform):

1. Team hashtag
2. Campaign hashtag

When including this in your caption, Dreaminfluence will automatically extract your content from your platform and allocate it to the right campaign. This will be show in the app as well like this:

If you fail to include the hashtags or do a spellingmisstake, our system will not be able to do the automatic extraction. In this case, you can manually register your content by clicking the "plus"-sign, and you will be redirected into a new overview, where you can pick the content that you would like to allocate the campaign.

Please be aware that content can only be registered to ONE campaign. Meaning that you will not be able to do a content piece and allocate it multiple campaigns. This is not something we recommend doing regardless - as brands do not want to "share" the awareness you create through your content.

If in doubt about anything, please use the "Inbox" and contact the specific brand. It's totally okay to double check or ask questions.

If you fail to deliver

As stated previously in this article, a legally binding contract between you and the brand is created once you join a campaign meaning you are obligated to deliver the required content. As the products usually are not eligible for return the only option - if you cannot or do not wish to complete the agreed work - is that the specific brand will invoice you for the full product value.

As Dreaminfluence is the platform provider, we must ensure a professional and reliable environment for the brands we work with. A lack of communication can affect your eligibility for future campaigns and collaborations across the platform. If such cases ends up happening multiple times we will ultimately exclude you from the platform, shutting down for other potential collaborations.

In cases where you do not get in touch with the brand, Dreaminfluence usually reach out via other media like e-mail or phone and try to enable a dialogue. In cases where we do not establish communication, Dreaminfluence will advise brands to proceed with sending an invoice. Should that invoice remain unpaid, it will be forwarded to a debt collection process, which may ultimately lead to legal enforcement. This is not intended as a scare tactic, but unfortunately, we see many influencers joining campaigns, accepting products, and then not fulfilling their obligations - and we need to be clear about the consequences.

Of course, misunderstandings happen and these that can be fixed - but it will require you to contact the involved brand through the Dreaminfluence app so the situation can be resolved quickly.
