Are there any requirements to join Sound.me?

Anyone with a TikTok or YouTube account is welcome to join Sound.Me. When you first start, our system takes some time to learn about you as a creator. During this initial phase, you might not receive many campaigns. However, as you grow and develop your creator profile, gaining more traction, you will have the opportunity to participate in larger campaigns that offer more compensation for your posts.

Our system is intentionally designed to provide fair opportunities to all creators, regardless of their size or follower count. Whether you’re just starting out or you’re already established, Sound.Me is a platform where every creator is valued and has the chance to be involved in various campaigns. We encourage creators of all levels to join and grow with us.

How much money do I get per video?

Your payment on Sound.Me is determined by a combination of factors, including your average number of followers, views, and overall engagement with your content. Specifically, your Cpvm (Cost per View Mile) represents the amount of money you will receive for each submitted video within the first 72 hours of its posting. After this 72-hour period, the calculation for that video’s earnings is halted.

Our AI system takes into account multiple aspects to calculate your earnings. These factors include:

Views: The number of times your video has been viewed.
Followers: Your follower count and any fluctuations in it, such as new followers gained or lost.
Likes, Comments, Shares: The level of engagement your video receives through likes, comments, and shares.
Posting Frequency: How often you post new content.
Originality: The uniqueness and creativity of your content.

All these elements contribute to the AI’s assessment of your video’s performance, which in turn influences your earnings. This comprehensive approach ensures a fair and dynamic system for rewarding creators based on the impact and reach of their content.

My application is pending, what do I do?

When you apply for a campaign on Sound.Me, your submission undergoes a manual review process to determine if your account is the right fit for that specific campaign. Each submission is carefully reviewed by the sponsor. It’s important to understand that if your submission is declined, it doesn’t necessarily indicate a problem with your content or profile. It simply means that the sponsor chose not to select you for participation in that particular campaign.

The review process can take a few days, so we ask for your patience during this time. The selection criteria can vary depending on the sponsor’s specific requirements and objectives for the campaign. Remember, not being chosen for one campaign does not preclude you from being selected for future opportunities. We encourage you to keep applying and continue creating engaging content.

How do I get more campaigns?

While we can’t guarantee a specific number of campaigns, we do have excellent tips to enhance your chances of selection. First and foremost, ensure your GEO location is enabled to access more campaigns and increase your approval odds. It’s crucial to select the correct country, as an incorrect choice can limit your campaign opportunities. To maintain a good account standing, post frequently with diverse content, not solely Sound.me sounds. Remember to complete your TikTok bio too! Adhere to campaign instructions and use the appropriate sounds for successful participation. Effort in your videos increases the likelihood of sponsor approval and helps avoid low-quality content. If you commit to a campaign, be sure to follow through.

How long does it take to get the payment?

You can cash out your earnings and receive your payment within 5 to 10 business days after clicking the “Get Paid” button in your Sound.me account. Please note that weekends and major holidays are not included in our operating days, so consider this when expecting your payment. Additionally, our minimum cash-out amount is only $5, enabling you to start enjoying your hard-earned money without a lengthy wait.

Please contact us if you have any issues with your payment!

How do I get paid?

All payments are made through PayPal, so please ensure that your account is in good standing and capable of receiving payments. We send money exclusively via Goods and Services, which means you will be charged a small PayPal fee per transaction. For more information, please refer to PayPal’s Terms of Service.

How long should I keep my video up?

Although we prefer that you keep your video up indefinitely, we require it to remain live for at least 60 days from the initial posting date. Please be aware that removing videos, even after 60 days, can diminish the quality of your profile in the eyes of sponsors. They may opt not to offer you additional campaigns if you have a history of deleting your videos.

How to get verified on Sound.me?

We’re excited about your interest in becoming a verified creator on Sound.me! We’re committed to thoroughly verifying each profile to maintain the highest levels of authenticity and quality. To enhance your chances of getting verified, here are a few tips: ensure your account looks appealing and you post regularly. Complete your TikTok bio to reflect your identity and what you represent. Posting high-quality content is crucial, so invest effort in your videos to distinguish yourself. Participating in Sound.me campaigns when chosen demonstrates your dedication to our platform. Finally, make sure you have selected the correct country and enabled your GEO location, as this can improve your likelihood of being selected.

Do verified accounts get more campaigns?

Yes

What is the “Quality Content” requirement?

Quality content is essential for all videos submitted by creators into campaigns. Failure to adhere to these guidelines will result in your submissions being rejected:

Do not talk over the promoted sound in the video. The sound must be fully audible at 100% volume level, unless otherwise specified in the campaign directions.
Ensure that the video you submit is at least 10 seconds long, unless the promoted sound is shorter than 10 seconds.
Your video must remain on your profile for a minimum of 60 days.
No political statements please
Do not state in the caption or comments section that you are “just posting this to get paid” or make negative comments about the promoted sound
Do not showcase any products in your video. The content should be personal and not a commercial for a product or service.
Avoid performing dangerous or illegal acts in your video. It should be fun and safe.
Your videos must not contain someone else’s video content or copyrighted clips. The content should be exclusively yours.
Videos cannot consist of a single image. Effort should be evident in your videos.
Use only the link and promoted sound provided in the campaign. Do not replace the sound, change the link, etc.
You must be present in the videos; videos featuring only objects will not be accepted.
Follow the campaign directions precisely.

Can I reuse my old content?

Content must be original and not reused. This means that if you have previously posted a video, you cannot repost it on your page using the promoted sound from Sound.Me. Each submission should be a fresh creation, ensuring that the content is unique and specifically tailored for the current campaign. Reposting old videos with new sounds does not meet the platform’s requirements for originality and can affect your standing in future campaigns.

Why was my video declined?

While we encourage all our creators to be highly creative, it’s crucial to adhere to certain guidelines to ensure your videos are accepted. Firstly, follow the directions provided by the sponsor exactly as they are written. Secondly, use the exact sound specified for the campaign. If you use an incorrect sound or link, your video will be declined. Additionally, keep your video posted on your account for at least 60 days. Failure to do so may result in a shadow ban, loss of your verified status, or even a permanent ban from the platform. Other common reasons for video decline include talking over the video, muting the campaign sound, or replacing it with a different song. If a submission is declined, the specific reason will be communicated to the email associated with your account.

Why did my account get banned from the platform?

At Sound.me, our priority is to ensure that every creator enjoys the best experience on our platform, and upholding high-quality standards is key to this commitment. We meticulously review each post to confirm compliance with our quality standards. Please be aware that certain actions can lead to account banning. These include:

Repeatedly using the wrong sound for campaigns.
Talking over videos or altering the audio in a way that compromises the campaign’s integrity.
Promoting another product during a Sound.me campaign.
Using a different sound than the one provided for a campaign.
Impersonating others or misrepresenting your identity.
Reusing content from TV shows, music videos, celebrities, or fan pages.
Purchasing an account from someone else and altering its original content.
Deleting your campaign videos before the required 45-day period.
Attempting to manipulate the system for increased earnings.

Compliance with these guidelines is vital for maintaining the quality and trustworthiness of our platform.

Why am I not receiving any campaigns?

We’re thrilled to provide a diverse range of campaigns for our creators regularly. If you’re not encountering any campaigns, there might be several reasons for this. First, ensure that your GEO location is enabled, as this can influence the campaigns visible to you. Additionally, if you have applied to multiple campaigns but haven’t completed the videos, this might affect future campaign opportunities. It’s also possible that certain campaigns are designed for specific account types, and your account may not align with the targeted demographics. Moreover, if the quality of your content is deemed low, this could impact the number and type of campaigns you’re offered. Nonetheless, don’t be discouraged! We are optimistic that you’ll find a campaign that’s a perfect match for you.
