Quick answers for creators and brands. Still stuck? Message the Yardy team from your dashboard.

For creators

Is it free to join as a creator?
Yes. Creators never pay to join or to take campaigns.
How do clip campaigns work?
Tap Join on a campaign, make a clip using the official sound, post it on your own page with #ad, then paste the link on Yardy. You earn per 1,000 verified views, up to the campaign's maximum per clip.
How do UGC gigs work?
Apply with a short note about why you're a good fit. If the brand picks you, you make the video and get the flat fee once it's approved.
When do I get paid?
As soon as a brand approves your clip, money is set aside for you. Views are counted again after 7 days, then you're paid in the next payout run by bank transfer or PayPal.
Can I get paid in TTD or JMD?
Local-currency payouts through Wise are being set up for Trinidad and Tobago and Jamaica. Until then you're paid in US dollars by PayPal or bank transfer, and your bank converts it. Choose your payout method on your profile.
Why was my clip rejected or flagged?
You'll always see the reason on your dashboard. Common reasons are using a different song, missing #ad, or views that look fake. You can message the brand if something looks wrong.
Do I need a tax form?
Yes, before your first payout. Creators outside the US fill out a W-8BEN, US creators a W-9. Choose it on your profile.

For brands

What does Yardy cost?
Your budget goes to creators, plus a 15% Yardy fee added when you fund a campaign. See pricing.
What's the smallest budget?
$300 per campaign.
How do you stop fake views?
Views come from the platforms, not screenshots. Suspicious spikes and low engagement are flagged and reviewed by a person, and flagged views are never charged. How views are checked.
Can I target a specific island or city?
Yes. Pick the places you want to reach when you create a campaign, from Trinidad and Jamaica to Brooklyn, Toronto and London.
Do I have to approve every clip?
You have 48 hours to approve or reject with a reason. Anything you don't review is approved automatically.
What happens to unused budget?
When you end a campaign, any budget that wasn't used moves to your credit. Credit is used first when you pay for your next campaign, and there's no Yardy fee on the part your credit covers.
