// CONTENT PAYS FIELD NOTES

Better campaigns. Stronger content.

Practical guides for brands and creators working together on short-form campaigns. These are principles to test, not promises of views or campaign results.

Ideas you can put to work

01CREATOR PLAYBOOK

Start with the story, not the effects

A polished edit cannot rescue a moment that has no clear reason to watch. Choose a strong, understandable moment before spending time on effects.

READ THE GUIDE

Look for a clear hook, useful point, surprising reaction, or satisfying payoff.
Keep only the setup needed for a viewer who has not seen the original video.
Use captions and effects to improve clarity, not to disguise a weak moment.

02BRAND CAMPAIGNS

Write a brief creators can act on

The campaign brief is the shared reference for the brand and the creator. Specific instructions make it easier to create on-brand content without guessing.

READ THE GUIDE

State the audience, main message, product facts, and action you want viewers to take.
List eligible platforms, required content, deadlines, and anything creators must avoid.
Provide source assets and examples only when you have the rights to use them.

03PLATFORM PRACTICE

Make each version feel native

A clip that works on one platform may need changes before it works on another. Review how the post looks and sounds in the destination app.

READ THE GUIDE

Check the crop, captions, on-screen text, audio, and safe areas for each platform.
Make the opening understandable without relying on a viewer seeing another version.
Treat results as platform-specific; no edit or posting time guarantees reach.

04TRUSTED RESULTS

Measure more than the raw view count

Campaign performance depends on the campaign rules and the quality of the submitted post, not just the number shown on a public counter.

READ THE GUIDE

Submit the correct public post link and connect accounts only through Content Pays flows.
Do not buy views, use bots, or manipulate engagement; those views are not campaign results.
Only eligible views that pass campaign verification count toward reported performance.
