For creators

Get paid for every view

You already film the food, products and places you love. Pick a campaign, post it from your own account, submit the link and earn on every 1,000 verified views. No follower minimum, no pitching, no waiting for approval.

Step by step

From sign-up to payout

Everything happens in your creator workspace, from verifying your accounts to tracking every rand a post earns.

  1. Step 1

    Join free, any follower count

    Sign up and add the TikTok, Instagram, YouTube or Facebook accounts you post from. A short code in your bio proves each one is yours.

  2. Step 2

    Pick a campaign

    Each campaign shows its rate per 1,000 views, the most a post can earn and the budget left. Join in one tap. Some give you a voucher to try the product first.

  3. Step 3

    Film it, post it, submit the link

    Make it your way, label it #ad or paid partnership, post it from your verified account and paste the link into Danko+.

  4. Step 4

    Get the views, get paid

    No waiting for the brand to approve. Your post earns on every 1,000 verified views from the moment you submit, up to the campaign's cap. After a short hold, it settles into your balance.

Your post's journey

Always know where your money is

Every post you submit moves through the same four stages, and you'll see the date each one completes.

  1. Submitted

    Paste your post link from a verified account. Automatic checks run straight away, with no brand approval to wait for.

  2. Earning

    Your post's maximum payout is reserved, and every verified view earns at the campaign rate, up to the cap.

  3. In hold

    A 3-day hold while views are checked. Bot-like views are held for a person to review.

  4. Paid out

    Settled into your balance. Withdraw from R50.

Payments currently run in a clearly labelled test mode while our payment partner is being connected. No real money moves until live payouts are switched on.

Creator vouchers

Get the discount. Post. Get paid.

Some campaigns give you a discount so you can try the product before you post about it, like 50% off your meal at a restaurant or 20% off a fragrance.

  1. Step 1: Get your code

    Join a campaign with a voucher and your code appears in Danko+. One voucher per campaign.

  2. Step 2: Use it at the brand

    Show your code in store or use it online. The brand checks it in its Danko+ login and gives you the discount.

  3. Step 3: Post your review

    Share your honest take from your verified account, label it as an ad and submit the link before the voucher's deadline.

  4. Step 4: Earn per view

    Your post earns on every 1,000 verified views, straight away, like any other post on the campaign.

The brand gives the discount in its own store. Danko+ doesn't charge for it, and no money for the discount moves through Danko+. Use your voucher, then post within the time shown. Creators who keep using vouchers without posting lose access to new ones.

Stay in good standing

What keeps a post earning

Follow the brief

Hit the brief's do's and don'ts. Brands can report posts that miss the brief, and Danko+ staff decide what happens.

Label it as an ad

Use #ad or the platform's paid-partnership tag on every post. Unlabelled posts can be removed.

Post from your verified account

Submit from an account you've verified with your bio code, on a platform the campaign pays for.

Keep it live

Leave the post up for the campaign's keep-live period. Deleted posts stop earning.

Direct deals

Reach 3,000 followers on one verified TikTok, Instagram, YouTube or Facebook account, apply and get approved by Danko+, and direct deals open up with DANKO++ (R299 a month). Brands invite you, or you apply, and the brand sets the pay: a fixed fee, pay per view, or a fee plus a per-view bonus. You keep earning per view on every campaign too.

  1. Step 1

    Pass the follower mark

    Grow one verified TikTok, Instagram, YouTube or Facebook account past the follower mark. Followers on different accounts aren't added up, and Danko+ confirms the count.

  2. Step 2

    Apply and get approved

    Send a short application. The Danko+ team reviews it and approves you for direct deals.

  3. Step 3

    Get invited, or apply to briefs

    Brands invite you to their briefs, or you apply with a short pitch. The offer spells out the pay, deliverables, revision rounds and usage rights before you start.

  4. Step 4

    Deliver and get paid

    Upload your content, handle feedback in one place and track every payout. You keep earning per view on every other campaign too.
