Quick Start Guide
Get from sign-up to your first campaign offer in under 5 minutes.
1. Create Your Account
Head to the registration page and create your brand account. You'll need your company name, email address, and a password. Once registered, you'll land on your brand dashboard.
No credit card is required to get started. You can explore the platform, search creators, and build campaigns before setting up payments.
2. Create Your First Campaign
Click "New Campaign" from the dashboard or sidebar navigation. The campaign wizard walks you through four steps:
Campaign Details
Name your campaign, add your product name and description, set your target creator count and total budget.
Brief & Targeting
Select the platform (TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube), choose your niche, and define audience targeting parameters.
Contract Terms
Set the metric type (views, reach, engagements), base pay amount, and three performance tier thresholds with corresponding payouts. Choose from AI-recommended milestone templates.
Review & Launch
Review all details and launch your campaign. You can save as draft at any step and come back later.
3. Find and Add Creators
Navigate to the Discovery page to search through 238M+ creator profiles. Use filters for platform, niche, engagement rate, follower count, country, and language. Each creator card shows their Power Score, engagement metrics, and audience quality rating.
When you find a great match, click "Add to Campaign" to shortlist them. You can use the AI Deal Architect to automatically generate optimal contract terms based on the creator's historical performance.
4. Send Offers
From your campaign detail page, navigate to the Pipeline tab to see all shortlisted creators. Send offers individually or in bulk — each creator receives a magic link email with the full contract terms.
Creators can accept, counter-offer, or decline directly from the offer page without needing an account. If they accept, the escrow is automatically funded and tracking begins once they submit their content post URL.
Use AI-generated outreach messages to personalize your offer emails. The platform can generate custom messages based on the creator's content style and your campaign brief.
5. Set Up Payments
Go to Settings → Payment & Escrow to add your payment method via Stripe. This is required before offers can be funded. PROOF uses Stripe's secure payment infrastructure — your card details are never stored on our servers.
Payment methods must be configured before you can send offers with real escrow. Without a payment method, offers will be created in draft state.
