I’m a full time content creator and love working via tribe! I’ve worked with some huge global brands and also some amazing small businesses! Lots of opportunity on the platform and it’s so easy to use. The support is quick and efficient when needed too. Can’t complain!
Useless - you put a lot of effort in & never get selected
I am on quite a few of these types of app and this is the only one where I have never ever secured a collab. You have to do a brief etc. before which takes time and most of the brands never even respond, they just time out. I’ve found it to be the biggest waste of time. I was even “personally” in it’s to one campaign and was almost instantly rejected. Thumbs down.
Cannot connect to TikTok
Been having issues with connecting with TikTok for days and still no one can solve the problem
Asking for verification but the email doesn’t come through
I'm currently facing an issue with email verification for my Tribe account. Despite multiple attempts, the verification email hasn't come through to my inbox or spam folder.
Don’t bother
I joined this a few months ago and have been applying for lots of campaigns. I have over 200,000 followers on tiktok and 30,000 on Instagram. I find it impossible to get accepted. The one collaboration I did do, they nocked my initial charge down by £200. Not worth it. Just email brands yourself.
Horrible business model
As a content creator with 45k followers trying to make a living off creating, this app is a joke. You’re asked to create content for brands with their products (that you most often have to purchase yourself), you set your price and if you’re lucky you might be able get paid and post the content. If the brand finds your price to high or doesn’t like the content you’ve created, you’ve basically wanted hours of work for nothing.
Furthermore, the business model where hundreds of creators are competing for the chance to be accepted by one brand - means you have to lower your price and put more effort into your content to be able to stand out and be chosen. Essentially you end up underpricing yourself, buying products you might not get paid to promote, and working for free - in the hopes that some brand will chose you.
Would not recommend
Great
Really good opportunities, wish I found more apps like this
Not worth it long term
Don’t expect constructive criticism from brands, it’s usually generic pre selected responses so you often are left confused as to why a high quality submission was rejected! Considering the low rates, the brands are exceptionally picky with their brief yet often times accept sub-par images which makes zero sense. I’ve spent countless hours on submissions only to see poor quality submissions accepted so their logic is incomprehensible. I’d recommend spending as little time and money on the app as possible if you’re going to use it. You’re better off connecting with brands personally.
Underpaying. Only use short term
Tribe is a decent app for influencers starting out or who want to build their roster to work with bigger brands. However brands are encouraged to severely underpay influencers. I have 30K followers and the app tells me my rate should be £150????? When creators outside the app can make ten times that amount when loading directly with brands. Brands on the app can also reject your submissions for silly reasons and you may not get accurate feedback as to why they’ve rejected you. It’s decent enough to use to start off with but working directly with brands and pitching to them is best long term.
WORST INFLUENCER MARKETING PLATFORM
You have to spend time and money first purchasing the product then creating the content
Only to be simply declined without any feedback!
They have big brands but that’s only because they only care about brands and not influencers. If your an Influencer look for other platforms or do it on your own. TERRIBLE!!!
