How it works

The Brand Journey

Launch campaigns, find creators, and get quality content — all with payment protection.

Step One

Create your campaign

Answer 5 strategic questions about your campaign goals, and our advanced AI Brief Builder creates a complete brief in under 2 minutes. Set your budget, define content requirements, and customize your AI-generated brief until it's perfect.

Pro tip

Our Attractiveness Gauge shows you how competitive your campaign is before you launch - so you can optimize for more applications.

Step Two

Find verified creators

Browse creators who match your niche, or let them come to you. Every creator on Mega Donkey is verified for authentic followers and real engagement - our AI screening catches fake followers, engagement pods, and bot activity before they reach your campaign.

Behind the scenes

When you accept a creator, payment is immediately secured in escrow. The money is locked in - they know they'll be paid, you know it's protected until content is delivered.

Step Three

Manage your campaign

Keep everything organized from a single dashboard. Ship products, send announcements, and message creators individually or as a group. Bulk actions let you manage 50+ creators as easily as one.

Behind the scenes

Creators receive notifications at every step, so you don't need to chase them. The platform keeps everyone on track.

Step Four

Review content

Creators submit their content for your review. You have 48 hours to approve, request one revision, or reject. The one-revision limit is a platform-wide policy that protects everyone - it means clearer briefs, better first submissions, and faster campaigns.

Behind the scenes

One revision limit encourages brands to write clear briefs and creators to deliver quality first submissions. It's better for everyone.

Step Five

Release payment

After approving content, creators post to their platform and submit the live URL for verification. You confirm the post is live, and release the payment. If you don't manually release within 10 days, it auto-releases - so creators always get paid for completed work.

Behind the scenes

The 10-day auto-release protects creators from ghosting. You'll get email reminders before auto-release, so you have time to raise issues if needed.

Frequently asked questions

Everything brands need to know about running campaigns on Mega Donkey.

What if no creators apply to my campaign?

Our Attractiveness Gauge shows you how competitive your campaign is before launch. If your rate is below market, we'll tell you. Most campaigns with fair rates receive 5-20 applications within 48 hours.

What if a creator doesn't deliver?

If a creator misses their deadline or goes unresponsive, you can cancel their participation and your escrowed funds are returned. You can then accept other applicants or close the campaign.

Can I request more than one revision?

No - one revision is a platform-wide policy. This encourages clearer briefs and protects creator time. If content fundamentally doesn't meet your brief, you can reject and escalate to dispute resolution.

How do I know creators are authentic?

Every creator passes AI-powered verification that checks follower counts, engagement rates, following ratios, and patterns that indicate fake followers or engagement pods. You can also run Safety Check AI on any creator before accepting.

What if I'm not happy with the final content?

After your one revision, if content still doesn't meet your brief, you can escalate to dispute resolution. An admin reviews the case within 24-48 hours and makes a fair decision about the escrowed funds.

How it works

The Creator Journey

Find opportunities, create content, and get paid fairly — with protection at every step.

Step One

Join the platform

Connect your TikTok or Instagram and submit screenshots for verification. Our AI analyzes your follower count, engagement rate, and authenticity - we're looking for real creators with real audiences, not follower counts bought from bots.

Pro tip

We verify minimum 1,000 followers, 2%+ engagement rate, and authentic followers. Get verified in 24-48 hours.

Step Two

Find campaigns

See brand campaigns looking for creators like you. Every listing shows exactly what you'll earn, what content is required, and who the brand is. No hidden rates, no negotiation - just opportunities that fit.

Pro tip

What you see is what you earn. Rates are transparent and fixed - no haggling, no surprises.

Step Three

Get accepted

When you apply, brands see your profile, Trust Score, badges, and previous reviews. They accept creators who fit their campaign. Once you're accepted, the payment is immediately locked in escrow - secured and waiting for you.

Behind the scenes

The moment you're accepted, your payment is secured in escrow. The brand has already committed the money - it's locked in, protected, and waiting for you to complete the work.

Step Four

Create and submit

Create content that matches the brief. Our AI can suggest captions and hashtags based on the brand's requirements - use them as a starting point or write your own. Submit when ready, and the brand has 48 hours to review.

Behind the scenes

Brands can only request one revision. This is a platform-wide policy that protects your time. If the brief was clear and you delivered what was asked, most content is approved first time.

Step Five

Post and get paid

Once your content is approved, post it on your TikTok or Instagram and submit the URL. The brand verifies it's live, and releases payment. If they don't manually release within 10 days, it auto-releases anyway.

Behind the scenes

The 10-day auto-release means you'll never be left waiting indefinitely. Even if a brand goes quiet, your money is released automatically.
