We classify an Influencer as someone with 3000+ genuine followers on just one of our three partner platforms: Facebook, Instagram or Twitter. In time you'll be able to connect more social platforms into TRIBE.
TRIBE is open to all brands, and those that represent them, including PR, Media, Advertising or Creative Agencies. Some brands will naturally attract more submissions from Influencers than others.
Absolutely. TRIBE is open to brands and influencers from anywhere in the world. We currently have headquarters in Australia and the UK, so if you’re in the southern hemisphere, you’ll be looked after by Team Australia. If you’re in the northern hemisphere, Team UK. Hence why the currency used for a brand’s campaign will either be AUD$ or GBP£ accordingly.
Yes. In the US, UK, Europe and many other parts of the world, you are required by law to disclose a sponsored post. The easiest way to do this is to simply include #ad. In Australia, it’s currently just a guideline; however, we strongly recommend you include #ad anyway so your audience can easily identify branded content. For further guidance, see our T&Cs.
TRIBE charges brands a 20% commission on top of any post they purchase. For influencers, TRIBE is a completely free service.
Brands create the campaign briefs and from those, Influencers create the posts. Brands can be represented by anyone from PR Agencies to Media Agencies. But ONLY the Influencer can construct their post.
The Influencer owns the content, as it's been generated by them with a financial contribution from a brand to be featured within it. Therefore a Brand can share an Influencer's post within the platform it appears, but cannot use the content for any advertising outside of that. Remember to share the post within the 30 days it's active.
From a Brand's campaign brief, Influencers create and submit a post with a price attached. If a Brand approves it, the Influencer can then publish direct to their social media and collect payment. If the Brand has slight changes to the content or price, they can 'Suggest Changes' to the Influencer, who'll either re-submit or move on. If the campaign has ended, the budget has been spent or the Influencer and / or post is not right for the campaign, the Brand can select 'No Thanks'.
After 30 days an Influencer may remove the post. Although most leave the post on their feed as they would any other.
Our House Rules can be found in our terms of use. In order to protect the integrity of our marketplace, these are a set of principles we expect our Influencers and Brands to abide by. Feel free to suggest an addition at hello@tribegroup.co .
We take our House Rules extremely seriously and have the power to suspend an account immediately. If you feel a member has breached our guidelines, please notify us at hello@tribegroup.co .
Unfortunately not all brands or influencers are open to receiving phone calls or emails outside the platform, so to protect their privacy we've hidden their details. But don't hesitate to reach out to us if there's anything in particular you need from a brand.
Yes. We have a close working relationship with the main Social Media platforms and chat to them regularly about the best way to achieve reach and engagement.
Never fear, you’ll be the only person who ever posts to your account. Giving us permission, is really just giving you the ability to post through our App, which is how we know when to pay you. And no we can’t see your Direct Messages.
Based on our own research, we've designed a RATE CARD within the App. Although we recommend you start off low, and only raise it if you feel you can. It goes without saying; the higher your fee, the stronger your recognition, content and audience engagement should be.
| Followers Per Account | Ballpark Rate Per Post (AUD) |

| 100-250K | $550-$800 |
| 200-500K | $800-$1200 |
| 500K+ | $1200+ |
| Followers Per Account | Ballpark Rate Per Post (GBP) |

Unless there are unique circumstances (i.e. item is yet to be released) brands won't send you product through TRIBE. Our platform is about authentic advocacy of products you already love or are willing to try. After all, if an influencer isn't prepared to buy a product, how can they recommend their tribe does?
It's disappointing, but purchasing a product without getting paid to recommend it is no different than any other purchase made by you outside of TRIBE.
Not at all. We work very closely with Talent Agencies to offer a work-flow solution so they can now manage all of their client's Influencer campaigns in the one location. Ask us how at hello@tribegroup.co.
Yes. Like any marketplace, this will happen. But only accept if you feel comfortable.
You should post within 48 hours, unless otherwise directed by the brand.
Once you publish your approved post, we'll transfer you the agreed amount into your PayPal or nominated bank account within 24hrs. You can edit your payment details any time in your TRIBE app under 'YOU'.
Damn straight! Email us at hello@tribegroup.co
Not all currencies are supported yet. For Influencer payments, we support AUD$, GBP£, EUR€ and USD$. If your country has a different currency, it will be assigned to one of these.
Be patient. Often brands like to see a number of submissions before they accept any or all of them. You may also want to re-submit with a lower offer, as high rates can deter brands.
Yes. TRIBE is based on the principle that we naturally feature brands in our social posts, paid or not. But the moment your followers feel that you're taking more than you give, you'll lose influence. Only you can determine how often you should post, but we urge you to be overly conservative, and if in doubt, we're here to offer one-to-one guidance.
From time to time you may experience negativity, however if you create organic and entertaining content, your audience is likely to respond positively. You invest an enormous amount of energy into your audience, and provided you're not greedy, you deserve to be rewarded.
We accommodate numerous Facebook Pages, but at present the only way to achieve the same result for Twitter and Instagram is by disconnecting an account and connecting another. Hit us up at hello@tribegroup.co if you’d like us to walk you through it.
Yes. Please keep this on file in the event we request it.
If you’ve sold rights to content, and now have another opportunity to sell content that appears similar, you’ll first need to get approval via content@tribegroup.co.
We’re constantly impressed with how well influencers conduct themselves on TRIBE. Everything from responding quickly to a brand’s feedback to attracting loads of approvals.
That’s why we’ve designed Influencer Ratings. To help you stand out even more. These will be displayed next to your submissions in the brand’s inbox and are out of 5 stars.
Rather than being rated by brands, your rating is actually calculated by TRIBE and takes into account considerations like your professionalism, activity and engagement.
For instance, if you publish your approved posts on time, you’ll be rewarded. Submit content you don’t own and sadly… you won’t be.
One thing’s for sure, if you keep up the great work, we’ll do our best to make you SHINE BRIGHT like the star you are.
Ratings are designed to share your holistic value to a brand, beyond your follower count or price. Three areas taken into account are professionalism, activity and engagement. More specifically, these inputs may affect your rating:
While your rating won’t go up overnight, it’s best to start with the basics:
The only scenario where brands can’t see your rating is when we lack sufficient data. In which case, no stars will be shown at all.
Not at all. Because we don't mind who posts a campaign on behalf of the brand, we work very closely with agencies of all shapes and sizes to help them perform their jobs with greater impact and efficiency.
The TRIBE App is for influencers to submit content, however feel free to download it as a brand so you can browse live campaigns for inspiration. When you're ready to build your own, head to brand.tribegroup.co
It's important for a brand to look through the engagement of Influencers who make offers. Accounts with fake followers are easy to determine from almost no interaction, or social profiles filled with spam. If we identify an Influencer with fake followers, we'll remove them from our platform.
No. You'll only ever get charged when you purchase an Influencer's post. We don't hold any funds from your card and it costs you nothing to post a brief, reach our database of Influencers and browse their submitted posts. But to protect our Influencers, we ask that you don’t create a campaign unless you genuinely intend on purchasing posts.
TRIBE will only ever charge your credit card when you approve an Influencer's content. We don't charge to build a brief or review all the content submitted by influencers.
Hand-picking Influencers is like trying to target individual buyers on eBay. Instead TRIBE is a true marketplace, designed for unprecedented scale. To build such a massive pool of Influencers, we've also taken onboard their preference to browse campaigns anonymously. The moment they submit a post to your campaign however, we'll provide all the info you need to click through to their social profiles and assess their suitability.
No, however most brands allocate budget so that they can purchase submissions as they come through. The average TRIBE campaign is $3,000–$5,000 + GST, which is approximately 20 posts (average post fee is $220 + GST). All quoted pricing includes TRIBE fees and excludes GST.
What keeps Influencers honest is the potential disengagement from their followers if they're seen to be selling out and promoting competing brands in quick succession. We suggest you spend time in choosing your Influencers carefully by browsing their previous posts to ensure they respect a Brand’s need for loyalty.
No. In fact, we don't even encourage sending product samples for Influencers to post about. If an Influencer doesn't already own the product, or isn't willing to buy it, they have no right to recommend it. The exception to the rule is when a product is yet to launch or inaccessible to an Influencer. In which case we'll arrange for you to send them your samples.

Unless you follow them on social media, you most likely won't. Rest assured their audience knows who they are, which is why they've accumulated such a large tribe who love their content.
Sure, feel free to browse the influencers' social accounts to see what level of engagement they're achieving. We also display their average engagement alongside every submission if available.
No. Social Media platforms have algorithms to determine how relevant a post will be. The more engaging, the greater the reach. That's why it's important to chose your Influencers carefully.
We're soon to launch this feature, but appreciate a Brand's need for more sophisticated audience targeting. You'll soon be able to filter beyond an Influencer to target precise demographics of their audience.
Brands have less control in social influencer campaigns compared with traditional media. Influencers have developed a unique dialect with their tribe over thousands of personal interactions. These can include everything from bad grammar to amateur photography, and despite it not appearing like premium content, the value of a post is measured by audience interaction and the Influencers credibility. That still doesn't mean the post is a right fit for your brand, so choose carefully and feel free to 'Suggest Changes' to the Influencer if you value them, but not the post.
Get shopping! When an Influencer submits a post, click through to their social feed to assess their tone of voice, engagement and brand-fit.
Results will vary according to a number of variables within social media we can't control. Contact us at hello@tribegroup.co and we'll happily walk through any posts submitted for your campaign to help you get the best bang for your buck.
This is totally subjective but if you ask us... it's the fun part. How you measure the value of a post may come down to the creativity of the content, the familiarity of the Influencer, the size and engagement of their tribe, and how well they fit your brand.
In the rare event this occurs, please contact us at hello@tribegroup.co and we'll rectify the situation. You won't be charged for posts not published as agreed.
Be patient. It may take at least a week for campaigns to receive Influencer submissions. If after a week you still have no response, we suggest you re-craft your campaign or widen the Influencer search filters you’ve selected.
We're busy developing the sophisticated analytics you need to measure the impact of the Influencer's post you purchased. In the meantime, we’re happy to provide you with a post-campaign report. Just hit up your TRIBE account manager.
$300 + GST / £300 +VAT for a six month exclusive licence (online usage only) or $800 + GST / £800 + VAT for an exclusive perpetual licence (online usage only).
If you’d like to use the image offline (outdoor, print, TV etc) simply contact us at content@tribegroup.co
You can simply renew your license for an additional 6 months at $250 + GST / £250 + VAT or purchase that content in perpetuity for $800 + GST / £800 + VAT . If not, it will be your company’s responsibility to cease all ongoing and future usage of that content to avoid an automatic renewal fee.
We’ll send out a renewal reminder, but the responsibility is on you to keep track of your own Content Licence expiry dates to avoid an automatic renewal fee.
Content can range from 300KB to 23MB depending on the original source. If you’re concerned with the resolution, we’ll work with you to ensure you have the highest quality available.
Yes, however these are negotiated on an individual basis and are dependant on the image quality TRIBE has been supplied. Please contact us at content@tribegroup.co for more information.
The ratings measure how valuable a certain influencer’s recommendation is. It goes past the vanity metrics into quality and impact. They are measured across three main elements: professionalism, submissions and engagement.
When an influencer doesn’t have a rating displayed, this simply means they’re yet to generate sufficient data. As they become more active within the TRIBE app, a rating should appear.
