Question 1

What does Hive Sales cost?

Accepted Answer

Joining and matching are free. On new deals, creators receive their full agreed rate and the brand pays Hive’s transaction fee on top. The total is shown before authorization. Existing signed deals retain their agreed terms.

Question 2

Do I need a certain number of followers?

Accepted Answer

No. There is no follower minimum. To appear in matching you need a verified account with at least one social account connected, which is how Hive Sales reads your real numbers instead of asking for a media kit.

Question 3

How does matching actually work?

Accepted Answer

Brands post what they need and what they will pay. Hive Sales ranks creators against that brief on fit, audience, platform, and location, and shows each side the other as cards. Nobody can message anybody until you have both said yes.

Question 4

How do brands and influencers partner through Hive Sales?

Accepted Answer

Brands post what they need and what they will pay. Influencers discover briefs that fit their audience and style. Both sides choose before a conversation opens, and the agreed budget is held until delivery.

Question 5

When do I get paid?

Accepted Answer

Check each stage’s recorded authorization before starting work. Release follows approval or the agreed review window if no issue is raised. Bank payout is separate and depends on Stripe and your bank.

Question 6

What stops a brand from ghosting me?

Accepted Answer

A running deal cannot be cancelled or repriced quietly: the payment is authorized on the brand's card, the terms are locked, and delivery and approval happen inside the deal thread.

Connect brands with creators.
