How it works.
Clicked pairs creators with music campaigns. You get booked or submit openly, cut your edit, and post it with the campaign's song inside the drop window. Here's the whole flow.
What a campaign is
A campaign promotes one song. A promoter, or the Clicked team, sets the brief and the song version, and every post pays a fixed price: the campaign's rate, or the rate agreed when you're booked. Then everyone films and posts in one coordinated window.
Pick your campaign
The team books creators directly, and on campaigns that allow it, anyone on the roster can also submit a post openly once it's live. The brief and the flat rate are on the campaign before you post: the rate you see when you submit is the rate an approved post gets. When you're booked, your slot and its rate are reserved for you, and a later change to the campaign doesn't reprice your deal. Open posts carry no guarantee: only the first few approved posts per creator are paid, as the campaign states.
Drop window: post together
The campaign goes live and the upload window starts, typically about 48 hours. The goal is for many videos using the same song to land close together: that's what makes the algorithm pick it up and push everyone's reach. Post inside the window. Late posts miss the wave (and the reward).
The sound rule
Use the campaign's song and add it through your platform's “Add sound”. That's what keeps the song tag attached to your post (the whole point of the campaign).
To keep your own audio audible, just drop the added sound's volume to 1-3% in the app. It's inaudible next to your original audio, but the tag stays on. A post without the attached sound tag doesn't count.
Who gets rewarded, and when
You're in line for a reward when your post:
- went up inside the campaign's drop window, and
- passes the review checklist (see how review works below).
Views never decide the flat reward. A clean delivery does, and you're paid after a post is approved, never up front. The exact reward terms are shown on each campaign before you post, so you always know the deal up front.
On top: each campaign's team may hand-pick up to 3 favorite posts, and each earns a fixed bonus. Views don't decide it; a person does.
Heads up: the in-app payout system is still being finalized. Rewards you earn accrue to your account and become payable once the legal & tax setup is complete. To be ready, add your payout details in your profile. That's on you, and it can be done any time.
If you're under 18
Paid campaigns open from age 16. Younger than that, you can browse every campaign and listen to every song, but applying, posting and taking a booking unlock by themselves when you turn 16.
Once you can be paid and you're still under 18, your reward goes through a parent or guardian. We don't collect your own payout or tax details: they confirm once, with a link you send them from your Payments page, and the reward is routed to them. Payouts stay on hold until the team has checked that confirmation.
How review works
Every post is checked against a fixed list of points. These four are on every campaign:
- Uses the campaign sound, added via "Add sound"
- Follows the brief
- Stays public until the campaign ends
- No bought views or engagement
When a campaign marks the part of the song your video has to play, that is a fifth point, shown on the campaign before you post.
A rejection names the point and comes with a short note from the team. In a rare case the team files it as “other”: it has no point of its own, but its note always says exactly why. There is no fix window: a rejected post stays rejected.
A post that nobody has rejected or approved 14 days after you submitted it counts as approved, unless the platform says the video is gone, we can't confirm it's yours, or the team is holding it for a closer look. Then a person decides.
If you think a rejection is wrong, you can appeal it once, within 7 days. Name the point you think was judged wrong and add one sentence. A different team member decides, and an appeal nobody decides within 14 days is decided in your favor (the same exceptions apply: then a person decides). A rejection for bought views can't be appealed, and 2 lost appeals within 90 days pause your appeals for 90 days. Up to 3 appeals can wait for a decision at once.
Ranks & badges
Your rank grows with your approved posts: 5 for Breakout, 20 for Trendsetter, 50 for Icon. An approved post is one that passed review (a post approved by the 14-day rule counts too). Views and likes never count.
- Debut: where everyone starts
- Breakout: 5 approved posts
- Trendsetter: 20 approved posts
- Icon: 50 approved posts, the top rank
If a post is disqualified later, it stops counting and your rank follows. Badges exist too. The team awards them by hand for special achievements, nothing is farmed. Ranks and badges are about standing. They never set what a delivery pays.
Getting started
Clicked is invite-only: you join with an invite link from your promoter or the team. Without one, you can apply: if we accept you, you get a personal sign-up link. For now, every new creator starts on the waitlist until campaigns open.
Once you're in, complete your profile (your niche, audience region and the platforms you post on), then open the Campaigns tab to join a live one.
