The task brief is your guide for creating a video, and following it is essential. Let's break down each section of the brief to help you navigate it effectively.
Task Status
At the top of the task, you’ll find the status, which tells you what’s currently happening with your task. Here are a few common statuses:
Waiting for product to arrive: The product hasn’t been shipped yet. Relax and wait for it.
Product has been sent: The product is on its way. In most cases, you’ll find a tracking number or link to monitor its progress.
Time left to upload: This is your deadline. Make sure to upload before the timer runs out to maintain a good On-Time score. If there are any product issues (e.g., broken, not received despite tracking), contact the brand.
Reward
This section shows your payout for the task, which you'll get once the task is completed, along with the product’s value if applicable.
Product information
Here you’ll find the product’s name, a link to the brand’s website, a description, and sometimes a pronunciation recording.
This section is particularly helpful for familiarizing yourself with the product and avoiding mistakes, such as mispronouncing the brand name. If it’s a digital product, you’ll find access instructions here.
