Hire creators

How it works

Brief once. Approve a video. Watch it grow your brand.

One fixed offer both sides agree to. When the brand starts the deal, Yap Factory holds the money. The creator is paid in full when the draft is approved.

Guardrails

Four rules that protect both sides.

Built into the software, so nobody has to chase.

  • 72-hour review window

    If the brand goes quiet, the draft is approved and the creator is paid.

  • 3 revision rounds included

    One note per round from one person, even for a full re-record. Extra rounds are paid at the creator’s rate.

  • 50% cancellation fee

    If the brand cancels after sending app access, the creator gets half their rate from the held money.

  • 5-business-day disputes

    A person reads both sides against the offer you both accepted. The money stays put until then.

Every rule, deadline and fee is written down in the terms, the brand agreement and the creator agreement.

Plain English

The words you’ll see on an offer.

Standard UGC
A creator films a video about your product and sends the file. The brand posts it, or runs it as an ad.
Canvas UGC
A creator opens a fresh account and posts videos about the product on it, labelled as ads. Priced per post, plus a rate per 1,000 views.
Opening
The first 3 seconds, the line that makes someone keep watching. Extra openings are the same video with a different start.
Cutdown
A shorter 6–15 second edit of the same video.
Ad rights
Whether the brand can run the video as a paid ad, and for how long: none, 3, 6 or 12 months, or forever. Each creator prices these themselves. Posting on the brand’s own channels is always included.
Payment secured
The brand has started the deal: their card is charged and Yap Factory holds the money until the draft is approved.
