I was 1 campaign away from leveling up when just out of nowhere they decided to remove me! They removed me a few days ago. I was so close to that $65 stage! I emailed them asking why and their reason was “current quality of content not meeting at the moment” . First of all, the quality of all the contents I’ve made from all the brands I’ve worked with are all greaat! Second, the last campaign I had was way back in November 2021! So what “current quality” are you talking about when I haven’t even had any recent campaigns? That’s one of the problems with this app. You keep applying but you rarely get any. And lastly, if the brands I’ve worked with accepted my content and never once complained, shouldn’t that be your basis?? If you are having changes, the least you could do is message the creators first and let them know you’re having these new changes instead of removing people right away! It’s just UNFAIR after all the hard work I put in to reach each levels just to be removed?! Y'all don’t even pay that much! Dear creators, don’t settle with this garbage app! Stay away from these cheap people who don’t value your hard work!!
We have a small business and being able to work with creators safely is a big concern for us. We appreciate Trend’s advocacy towards brands and fair payment to the creators we work with. Before Trend, we struggled finding content creators who were trustworthy, real, and creative. Many of the creators I reached out to outside of Trend would either try to upcharge me insane amounts ($1,000 for one post/she only had 2,000 followers on IG for example) for low quality posts or convince me their low engagement rate isn’t due to bots (the spammy comments doesn’t fool anyone).I am only giving it 3 stars because the app and website are glitchy. I have to decline on creators because their social handles appear as “undefined” and I have no way of figuring out who they are. Many creator pages I click on (website) say 404 ERROR. The app itself doesn’t have any brand login, only for creators. Hopefully these problems get resolved soon!
I used it and had some great influencers and then some not so great. However, they claim to provide free credits for referring them. I added in the info for the other business owners I referred. Asked how they would know once they signed up that I referred them. Told me they’d correlate the emails to my entries. Then when business owners signed up and purchased credits to use (then used them) and I never heard anything, I inquired. They then asked me to provide all the emails/ names AGAIN which is ridiculous. But I sent them one as an example, months later and no response (after more than 1 email). It could be good, but lying to the public and your customers is absolutely not how you should do business. Long story short, their referral page is not true.
I have been a creator with this platform for a while now (completed over 20 campaigns successfully). I love how easy the platform is to navigate and use. Definitely much simpler than so many other platforms out there. You don’t need to submit a full application for each campaign you just simply click one button to apply. They have recently increased the pay for creators and it made such a massive difference for me personally. Now I am more inclined to take up more projects and take advantage of new opportunities. Overall, definitely a great experience and I highly recommend.
As a creator, I have worked with multiple influencer apps and Trend is at the top of my list. It’s so easy to navigate through the list of potential brands you can choose to work with. Each brand provides enough details of what they’re interested in. Once you get hired to work for a brand the process is simple. The brand will send you their product, you create the requested content, and once it’s been approved, you receive your payment. I highly recommend this app to any creators! I’m so happy I joined this influencer platform!
This app offers you the chance to connect wit brands and even build your own relationship with them. That’s honestly great and hard to find from honest people. Which is why i wasn’t surprised when they changed the pay out amount for the next rank before i achieved it. You essentially do 4 campaigns for $25, then the next 4 for $45, then $65. However before i reached my second goal they changed it to only $10 more after the $25, so i am now short about $10-20 every campaign I book. I only expect more unexpected surprises, in top of the endless messages we get if we don’t respond to a brand, vs. them almost not responding after we send or post sometimes. Just not an equitable app.
