How do I get paid, when, and where does the money come from?+
Brands fund offers up front. When a payout clears the activation gate, it sits in escrow for a refund-hold window, then settles to your Stripe account on the weekly cycle. Minimum is $20; $5 for the first 60 days. You see the money move in your dashboard before it hits Stripe.
What's the cut? What does Saturn take?+
Saturn takes a flat 15% on every payout leg. That's it. No tiered fee, no per-side asymmetry, no recurring-MRR carve-out. Brand funds $100, Saturn keeps $15, you get $85. Same math on every offer type.
I have under 5K followers. Can I still claim offers?+
Yes. The open offer tier has no follower minimum. Saturn pays per result, not per audience size — a 2K-follower creator with three viral clips routinely out-earns a 200K creator with cold traffic. Higher-tier offers ($500+ payout) verify identity at claim-time.
How does Saturn stop fake views or low-effort UGC from getting paid?+
Three layers. Every clip-campaign view passes through a verified-view gate (anti-bot, anti-loop, country-specific normalization) before it accrues. Every UGC submission goes through brand approval before it clears. A 30-day refund hold sits between earning and Stripe settlement. Brands can cap per-creator and per-day spend at funding.
What's the difference between a clip campaign, a UGC brief, and an affiliate link?+
Clip campaigns pay per 1K verified views — the brand gives you a moment, you chop it into vertical posts. UGC briefs pay per deliverable plus a performance bonus — the brand gives you a prompt, you make original content. Affiliate links pay per conversion (click, signup, paid signup) — the brand gives you a tracked URL, you drop it in your post.
Can I run all three offer types from one account?+
Yes. One handle, one Stripe payout, three offer-type feeds in your dashboard. The same creator can have a clip campaign for a music label, a UGC brief for a coffee brand, and an affiliate link for a SaaS — all live at the same time.
How fast does the first payout clear?+
First claim under 60 seconds from signup. First payout in 7 days once the offer settles past its refund hold. The fast-lane minimum is $5 for the first 60 days, so the first dollar lands on the first weekly cycle.
Do I need to disclose paid posts? Who handles that?+
Yes — FTC requires disclosure (#ad, paid partnership, sponsored) on any paid post. Saturn drafts compliant disclosure copy as part of every promo pack and stamps it into every UGC submission for review. Final disclosure responsibility is yours, but Saturn provides the language and the placement.
How is Saturn different from Whop, LTK, Insense, Aspire, or PartnerStack?+
Saturn is the only marketplace that runs all three offer types (clip, UGC, affiliate) from one creator account with a flat 15% take. Whop is digital-product resale. LTK is fashion-and-lifestyle affiliate. Insense and Aspire are agency-shaped UGC with brand-side gates. PartnerStack is B2B SaaS with a six-figure floor. Saturn is creator-first, no follower minimum, three shelves, one signup.
What happens if a brand pulls funding on an offer I already claimed?+
Already-cleared earnings are protected — they sit in escrow and settle on schedule. Pending earnings on a paused offer are paid out on the existing rate up to the moment the brand pauses; new posts after that point earn nothing on the paused offer. Your link keeps working but stops accruing.
