For creators
How work reaches you on Cyrqle, and the path from an invite to a payout.
How work reaches you
Cyrqle has no in-app feed of open campaigns for creators. You cannot browse for work. Work reaches you in two ways only.
- A brand invites you. The invite arrives by email, and in your workspace under Briefs.
- You open a public campaign link. A brand can share a campaign link. If you are signed in, you can apply to that campaign from the link.
If you are a UGC talent, you also get an open jobs board at Jobs. That board is for UGC work only.
Before you start
- You need a Cyrqle account. Sign up at the sign-up page and pick the Creator role.
- You need one connected Instagram or TikTok account before you can answer an invite.
- Your plan limits how many campaigns you can accept per quarter. See Your plan and limits.
- Two creator roles share these pages. A creator posts on their own Instagram or TikTok account for a brand. UGC talent make content for a brand to use and do not post it. See For UGC talent.
Set up your account
The Connect step in onboarding does not connect anything. It only lists the platforms Cyrqle supports. Connect a real account later on the Profile page. See Connect your accounts.
Pick your role
Select Creator on the onboarding screen. Select UGC Talent if you make content for brands to post.
Choose your display name and address
Enter your display name and your Cyrqle address. Cyrqle checks the address as you type.
Review the Connect step
Read the platform list: Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and LinkedIn. This step is informational.
Add your bio and niches
Enter a bio of up to 280 characters. Add up to 8 niches, your city and your country.
The path from invite to payout
Connect a platform
Connect Instagram or TikTok. You cannot accept, counter or decline an invite without a connected account.
Open the invite
Open Briefs and select the campaign. Read the offer, the deliverables and the window.
Accept, counter or decline
Accept the offer, send a counter-offer, or decline. See Briefs and invites.
Sign the agreement
Sign the agreement Cyrqle prepares after you accept. Signing unlocks production. See Your agreement and content rights.
Post the content
Follow the Everything you need to post checklist. Cyrqle finds your post from the required hashtag. See Produce and post.
Get paid
Connect Stripe. Track each payout on the Payouts page. See Getting paid.
Arriving from an email invite
A brand can invite you before you have a Cyrqle account. The email carries a claim link.
- The claim link shows the full brief with Accept, Counter and Decline.
- Your choice is stored. Cyrqle then asks for your email or phone and sends you a sign-in link.
- Cyrqle creates your creator workspace, links your handle, and applies your stored choice.
A claim link shows a "page not found" error when the link has expired, or when somebody already used it. Ask the brand to send a new link. Retrying the old link does not work.
Pitfalls
- You cannot browse campaigns in Cyrqle. Do not wait for an opportunities feed. Ask brands for a campaign link, or wait for an invite in Briefs.
- Accepting an invite counts against your plan. On the free plan you can accept 1 campaign per quarter. See Your plan and limits.
- A creator needs a connected Instagram or TikTok account to answer an invite. A UGC talent does not. Cyrqle creates a placeholder profile for UGC talent on first application.
