Full walkthrough — profile setup, adding services & receiving orders
Step-by-Step Setup
Create your account
Sign up at sokheymedia.in and select "Creator" as your role. Use your real name — this shows on your public profile.
Complete your profile
Go to Creator Dashboard → Profile. Add your Instagram/YouTube/Facebook handle, engagement rate, niche, city, and WhatsApp number. A complete profile unlocks your dashboard.
Add your social stats — and optionally verify them
Enter your follower counts and engagement rate accurately. Optionally connect your Instagram account (via secure OAuth) or verify your YouTube channel (free, instant) to earn a blue verified tick — which builds brand trust and boosts your ranking.
List your services
Go to Dashboard → Services → Add New Service. Choose a type (Reel, Story, Post, Live, YouTube Short, etc.), set your price in INR, and add a description and delivery time.
Receive brand orders — or apply to Campaigns
Once your services are live, brands can find you and place direct orders. You will receive a notification when a new order arrives. You can also browse open Brand Campaigns (see step 5B below).
Browse & apply to Brand Campaigns
Go to Creator Dashboard → Campaigns. Brands post campaigns with a fixed budget per creator and a slot cap (e.g. "20 creators at ₹500 each to post Reels on my song"). If you meet the eligibility requirements, hit Apply — the brand reviews and approves/rejects applicants.
Complete the campaign & submit proof
Post the content as per the brief. Then go to the order page → Submit Proof — paste the post URL and upload a screenshot.
Get paid
Once the admin verifies your delivery, the payment is released to your wallet. Withdraw anytime to your bank via UPI/IMPS.
Your Trust Score
Sokhey Media calculates a Trust Score (0–100) for every creator. Higher scores rank you higher and unlock the Verified badge.
Verification Badges
Blue Tick (Verified Creator)
Connect Instagram via OAuth or verify YouTube channel — plus complete KYC. Both are optional but boost brand confidence and ranking.
Golden Frame (Top Creator)
Earned when you have Blue Tick and engagement rate ≥ 3%. Your card gets a gold border and appears more prominently in search results.
Frequently Asked Questions
When does my wallet get credited?
After the admin verifies your delivery proof, payment is released to your wallet. This typically takes 24–48 hours after proof submission.
How do I withdraw my earnings?
Go to Dashboard → Withdraw. Enter your bank account details or UPI ID. Minimum withdrawal is ₹100. Transfers are done via IMPS.
What if the brand rejects my delivery?
The admin reviews all disputes fairly. If you followed the brief correctly, your delivery will be approved. Always follow the campaign brief exactly.
Can I have multiple service types?
Yes — you can list as many services as you want: Reels, Stories, Posts, Lives, YouTube Shorts, etc., all at different prices.
What happens if I miss a deadline?
Your delivery track record impacts your trust score. Consistently missing deadlines can lead to account suspension. Always communicate delays in advance.
What are Brand Campaigns and how do I apply?
Brand Campaigns are open briefs posted by brands that any eligible creator can apply to. Go to Dashboard → Campaigns, browse open campaigns, and click Apply if you meet the follower/trust score requirements. The brand reviews applications and approves or rejects them.
Can I be rejected from a campaign after applying?
Yes — brands review every application and may reject creators who do not fit their campaign vision. Rejection does not affect your trust score.
How much do I earn from a Brand Campaign vs a direct order?
For Brand Campaigns, you earn the full budget per slot set by the brand (e.g. ₹500 per Reel). For direct orders, you earn 90% of your listed service price. In both cases, payment is released to your wallet after admin verifies delivery.
