Questions people actually ask. Updated as new ones come up.
Posting
Q: What if I only post on TikTok one day, not Instagram?
A: That video doesn't count toward your weekly total. Both platforms or it doesn't count. We made this rule because TikTok + IG together is where the real reach is. Single-platform posting roughly halves your bonus chances.
Q: Can I post the same video twice (with different captions) to boost views?
A: No. One post per video per platform.
Q: How fast should I respond to comments?
A: First 5 to 10 comments in the first 30 min after posting matter most for the algorithm. After that, no rush. Just keep up within a day or two.
Q: Can I use trending audio in my videos?
A: No. The format is no-music. Trust us on this. Silence is the production value.
Q: Can I post on weekends?
A: You can. Weekend engagement is slightly lower for our niche but not by much. Posting consistency matters more than which days.
Account
Q: My account got 50 views on a post. Am I shadowbanned?
A: Probably not. 50 views can just be a flop, especially in the first 2 weeks. If you get 3+ consecutive sub-50-view posts, that's the shadowban signal. Follow the troubleshooting steps in the warm-up guide and message us.
Q: My partner is sick / out of town. Can I do solo videos?
A: No. The format requires both of you. Skip the day, post 2 the next day, or batch-record when they're back. Communicate the gap on WhatsApp.
Q: Can I let my friend run the account when I'm busy?
A: No. Only you (the contracted couple) log into the account. This is in your contract.
Q: Why does TikTok keep showing me a verification check?
A: Normal for new accounts. Just complete it. If it persists, message us with a screenshot.
Format
Q: I tried a hook and it flopped twice. Should I drop it?
A: Two flops isn't a pattern. Three is. If a specific hook flops 3+ times across different videos, move on.
Q: Can I freestyle the format if I have a good idea?
A: 90/10 rule. 90% locked format. 10% experiment if you've nailed the basics. Run experimental ideas by us first.
Q: My partner is camera-shy. Tips?
A: First few videos always feel weird. By video 10 to 15 it's automatic. Don't push for performance. Just get into a posting rhythm and the comfort comes naturally.
Q: Can I use AI tools for editing?
A: CapCut for editing is fine. AI faces / AI voiceovers / AI-generated content is NOT fine. TikTok's synthetic media detector flags these hard.
Pay
Q: When does base get paid?
A: On the 10th and the 25th each month ($250 per run). You earn full base through your 3-week warm-up; after that it's tied to hitting 15 videos a week.
Q: A video hit 100K. When do I get the $200?
A: Each video's bonus is finalized at its 30-day mark (the highest tier it reached in those 30 days), then paid on the next run, the 10th or the 25th.
Q: What if a video keeps growing after that?
A: The bonus is locked to the highest tier it reached in its first 30 days. Growth after 30 days is great for reach, but it doesn't change the bonus.
Q: Can I see a breakdown of what I earned?
A: Yes, sent via WhatsApp each pay run. Comes with a list of videos, view counts, and bonuses.
Working together
Q: Another brand DM'd me a UGC offer for a dating app. Can I do it?
A: No. Exclusivity clause covers couples/dating/relationship products. Screenshot the offer and send it to us anyway. We want to know.
Q: I want to take 2 weeks off. Possible?
A: Yes, just tell us in advance. We pause your posting expectations during that time. We don't expect 52 weeks a year.
Q: What if I want to leave?
A: Tell us. No notice required. Your final payment goes out on the next run (the 10th or the 25th), and you return the accounts (handing over the login and recovery access) within 7 days. No hard feelings.
Q: What if you want me to leave?
A: Same thing in reverse. We'd never do it without a conversation first.
