Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a large following to get accepted?
No! We care more about engagement rate, content quality, and authenticity than follower count. Micro-influencers (5k–50k) often perform better than mega-influencers for UGC.
How long does the review process take?
Typically 5–7 business days. We manually review every application to ensure quality, so it takes a bit longer than automated systems.
What if I don't have professional equipment?
A modern smartphone (iPhone 11+ or equivalent Android) with good natural lighting is sufficient for most UGC content. Authenticity matters more than perfect production.
Can I work with multiple platforms if accepted?
Yes. Many of our creators work with brands outside Masterhooks. We only ask that you fulfill commitments made through our platform first.
How much can I earn per project?
Rates vary based on deliverables and usage rights. Typical ranges are $200–$500 for a single video, $500–$2,000 for packages, and $2,000+ for exclusive campaigns.
What type of content will I create?
Depends on your niche. Common requests include product reviews, unboxing videos, tutorials, testimonials, lifestyle content, and before/after demos.
Is there a cost to join?
Absolutely not. We never charge creators to join. We make money by helping brands find great creators like you.
What happens if I'm rejected?
You'll receive constructive feedback on what to improve, and you're welcome to reapply after 3 months once you've built your portfolio.
