What are the requirements to be approved as a creator on Social Cat?

At Social Cat, we carefully review each application to ensure our creators align with the brands on our platform. Here’s what we consider when approving new influencers:

While not a strict rule, first impressions matter! Brands (and we) tend to look at an influencer’s profile before diving into details. To boost your chances of approval, consider:
✔ A personalized bio that introduces who you are (think of it as a mini-resume for brands!)
✔ Instagram Highlights that are neatly organized and relevant
✔ Engaging captions and strategic hashtags
✔ A healthy mix of video and photo content

These aren’t mandatory but can significantly improve your chances!

To be eligible, creators must have:
✔ A minimum of 1,000 followers on each platform they apply with
✔ A healthy followers-to-following ratio

The quality of your content is one of the most critical factors for approval. We look for:
🚫 No excessive filters, blurry images, or poor lighting
📱 High-quality photos and videos that showcase creativity
🎙️ Speaking on camera in at least 20-25% of your videos (brands love to see creators in action!)
🙋‍♂️ Appearing in some of your videos (this helps brands determine if you're a good fit for their campaigns)

We assess both engagement rates and the type of audience interacting with your content. If an account appears to have artificially inflated followers or engagement, it will be rejected.

While we don’t have a strict engagement rate requirement, we analyze it alongside other factors to ensure the right fit.

We may also look at:
✔ Your previous brand collaborations
✔ How active you are on social media
✔ Your growth and improvements over time

Our team regularly reviews profiles and reserves the right to reject influencers who don’t meet our criteria or align with our community’s values.
