SwayQ for creators
SwayQ exists to give creators what the industry never gave them: a fair ranking, visible economics, and payment terms that respect the work. The factual version, question by question.
What does SwayQ do for me as a creator?
Three things. First, it ranks you: the Q-Score gives you one verified position in your category, so your value is something you can point at instead of argue about. Second, it matches you: funded campaigns that fit your category and audience arrive as invitations, with the budget already committed. Third, it pays you properly: milestone payments held by Stripe and released when work is approved, with an automatic release if a brand goes silent.
What does it cost me?
Nothing to join, and there is no subscription. SwayQ earns its platform fee from the brand side of funded campaigns, paid on top of your agreed rate. The rate you agree to is the amount you receive.
How do I get ranked?
Sign up, connect your platforms (Instagram and TikTok today, more on the way), and complete your profile. The connection is what verifies your follower and engagement data at the source, and your profile tells the ranking which category you belong in. From there, the Q-Score does its work: one position in your category, updated monthly, with your movement shown. The Q-Score: your place in the queue
How am I protected?
Several defaults work in your favor. Campaigns are funded before you ever see them, so you never work against a promise. Payments auto-release 7 calendar days after you submit a deliverable if the brand neither approves nor disputes. Brands never get your contact details, and they cannot message you outside a matched campaign, so there is no spam and no pressure channel. Every deal step is recorded in an append-only log, so the history is always on your side in a dispute.
Do I keep ownership of my data?
Yes. Your data is yours. If you leave SwayQ, you take everything with you: account deletion removes your profile, your connected-platform data, and everything else SwayQ holds about you. We treat the right to deletion as a product feature, not a legal inconvenience, and you can trigger it yourself from your account settings.
Which platforms can I connect?
Instagram and TikTok today, with more platforms on the way. Connecting is read-only for metrics: SwayQ verifies follower counts and engagement data directly with the platform. We never post on your behalf, and disconnecting a platform is always available from your workspace.
