Evaluating Campaigns

What to Look For

• Song Quality - Listen to the track first (always!)
• Budget - Does it match your rates?
• Requirements - Can you meet what they're asking?
• Artist Profile - Check their previous campaigns
• Platform Match - Do they want content on platforms you're strong in?

Campaign Details

Click on a campaign to see:

• Artist information and profile
• Music link (listen to the song)
• Required platforms and budgets
• Curator channel preferences — which placements the artist wants (Spotify Playlist, Blog, etc.)
• Campaign end date
• Special requests from artist

Red Flags

Be cautious of:

• Unrealistic expectations for the budget
• Vague or unclear requirements
• Requests to work outside the platform
• Anyone asking for payment outside SpaceLoud

Sending Offers

Writing a Strong Offer

1. Introduce Yourself - Brief intro about your content style
2. Show Enthusiasm - Why you like this particular song
3. Explain Your Approach - How you'd promote the track
4. Be Clear on Rate - Set your pricing for each platform

Offer Tips

• Personalize each offer - No copy-paste messages
• Reference specific things about their song
• Explain why your audience would love this music
• Be professional and friendly
• Respond quickly to stand out

TikTok offers require a connected TikTok account. If you haven't connected your official TikTok account yet, the TikTok option in the send-offer form is disabled with a "Connect TikTok to include" note — connect it from your Social Accounts page first. See Setting Up Your Influencer Profile for details.

Setting Your Rate

When setting your offer rate, consider:

• Your follower count and engagement
• Time and effort required for the content
• Platform requirements
• Your standard rates

After Sending

What to Expect

• Artists may take a few days to respond
• You'll receive an email when they respond
• Not every offer will be accepted - that's normal
• Keep applying to other campaigns

There's no minimum follower count required to send offers or be accepted. Artists choose based on fit — your content style, engagement, and rate matter just as much as audience size. If your offers aren't landing, try adjusting your rate, personalizing your pitch, or targeting campaigns that match your niche more closely.

If You Get Accepted

1. Review the final terms
2. You can begin creating content
3. Communicate with the artist as needed
4. Submit work before the deadline

Handling Counter-Offers

Artists can send counter-offers with different rates:

1. You'll receive an email with new amounts
2. Review the new terms carefully
3. Accept if it works for you
4. Decline if it doesn't (no penalty)

Handling Book Now Offers

Artists can directly book you with a "Book Now" offer:

1. You'll receive an email notification
2. Review the offer details and amounts
3. Accept to start working (artist is charged)
4. Decline if you can't take the job (no penalty)

Tip: Respond to Book Now offers quickly - artists appreciate fast responses!

Payout Method Required to Accept

Whether it's a counter-offer or a Book Now offer, you need a payout method connected before you can hit Accept. If you haven't set one up yet, you'll see a prompt right there in the offer:

• Stripe available in your country? Connect it directly from that prompt.
• Stripe not available where you live (Brazil, Ukraine, Nigeria, and other countries)? The prompt will point you to Settings → Payments — add your PayPal email there and you'll be able to accept right away.

See Getting Paid for the full list of supported countries and payout details.

Sending Offers as a Curator

If you have the Curator or Both role, you can also send offers with your curator channels:

1. Click on a campaign from the Find Artists page
2. Click "Send Offer"
3. Select which curator channels to include (your fixed prices are shown)
4. If you have the "Both" role, you can also include social media platforms
5. Add a personalized message and send

Curator pricing is fixed — artists can select/deselect your channels but cannot change the per-channel price.

For full details, see Sending Offers to Artists.

Participating in Challenges

Challenges are competitions where multiple influencers create content featuring an artist's song, and winners receive prizes.

How Challenges Work

1. Browse challenges in the "Find Artists" section
2. Create and post your content featuring the song
3. Submit your post through SpaceLoud
4. Wait for the challenge to end and winners to be announced

Note: The leaderboard updates every 24-48 hours with the latest engagement stats from your submissions.

Video posts only. Challenge leaderboards rank entries by views, and we can only read view counts from video posts — photo and carousel posts aren't eligible and won't appear on the leaderboard. Post your entry as a video before submitting it.

When you submit, paste the direct link to your post — open the post, tap Share, then Copy Link. A link to your profile, bio, or a search page won't work, since SpaceLoud can't read view counts from those.

Entering a TikTok challenge requires a connected TikTok account. If you haven't connected yet, you'll see a "Connect TikTok" prompt in place of the submission form when you try to enter — connect your official account and you'll be able to submit right away.

Winning a Challenge

Artists select winners based on:

• Creativity - The most creative and original posts stand out
• Effort - Artists notice who goes above and beyond
• Multiple posts - Creating more posts can increase your chances

The leaderboard order isn't the winner list. Entries are ranked by view count purely so everyone can see what's getting traction while the challenge is live — it's not an automatic ranking system. The artist reviews entries themselves and picks winners manually, and often chooses creative or high-quality posts over whichever has the most views. Being at the top of the leaderboard doesn't guarantee a win, and being lower down doesn't rule you out.

Why a Submission Gets Disqualified

Artists review every entry in their own challenge, and they can disqualify one that doesn't follow the rules. If that happens, you'll see a notice on the challenge page explaining why, and you'll get an email.

The most common reasons are:

• Song not used properly — the challenge's track wasn't used the way the brief asked
• Song not linked — the song wasn't attached or credited on the post
• Photo post (video required) — challenge entries have to be videos so views can be tracked
• Dead link — the submitted link no longer loads, or the post was deleted or made private
• Recycled content — the post was reused rather than made for this challenge
• Spam or duplicate content — the same or near-identical video submitted repeatedly
• Fake engagement/views — the artist believes the view or like counts aren't genuine
• Inappropriate content, copyright violation, or other rule violations

Disqualification applies to your entries in that one challenge. It isn't a strike against your account, and it doesn't affect your other challenges, campaigns, or payouts.

Sometimes an artist chooses "Other" and writes a private note instead of picking one of the reasons above. In that case you'll be told your entry didn't meet the challenge's requirements, and you'll need to ask the artist for the specifics.

If You Think a Disqualification Was a Mistake

The artist makes this decision, and only the artist can undo it. SpaceLoud doesn't disqualify entries automatically, and our support team can't overturn an artist's judgement or restore your entry — so contacting support won't change the outcome.

What does work: message the artist directly through the challenge. Explain specifically how your entry meets the rules — for example, that the song is used in full, that the post is public and still live, or that the video was made new for this challenge. Artists can re-qualify an entry, and they do when there's been a genuine misunderstanding.

When Winners Are Announced

There's no fixed deadline for announcing winners — it's entirely up to the artist to review entries and announce. Most artists announce within a few days to a week after the challenge ends, but SpaceLoud doesn't enforce a cutoff, so it can occasionally take longer.

If it's been more than a week or two with no announcement:

1. Message the artist directly through the challenge page — a friendly check-in is completely normal and often the fastest way to get an update.
2. Still no response after that? Email hello@spaceloud.com with the challenge name and artist name, and our team will follow up with the artist.

Once winners are announced, you'll receive a notification if you've won, and your prize will be sent to your Stripe Connect account within a few business days of the announcement.

If your prize hasn't arrived after 5 business days, use the Claim Missing Payment tool to submit an inquiry — our team will investigate and follow up with you.

Tip: Put your best creative effort into challenge submissions - unique, high-quality content gets noticed!
