GIMI rewards approved content based on the model each brand sets. Every campaign shows its reward or prize pool before you submit. You join **sourcing**, **distribution**, or **contest** campaigns. * On **sourcing** campaigns, brands pay approval bonuses and Spotlights only. There are no performance-based payouts. * On **distribution** campaigns, brands may pay approval bonuses, performance rewards, and Spotlights. * On **contest** campaigns, brands pay selected winners after the deadline. ## Sourcing and distribution rewards These campaigns pay from an active reward pool. Rewards may be first come, first served, or through Boosted Content (rocket icon). ### Performance-based rewards Performance rewards pay based on how approved content performs on external social platforms. Brands choose which metrics to reward — views, likes, comments, shares, engagement, or a mix. Rates are set per campaign. Always read the reward details before you submit. Performance rewards apply to **distribution** campaigns only (you posted a URL). **Sourcing** campaigns (file upload only) do not include performance-based payouts. ### Clean Engagement Performance rewards are calculated using **Clean Engagement**, so you are paid for real audience activity, not artificial growth, bots, paid boosting, or manipulated engagement. If your content shows abnormal patterns, GIMI may normalise the performance used to calculate rewards. Your visible social numbers may differ from rewardable Clean Engagement. Discounting is shown on the content info page (small green arrow). Clean Engagement uses three main factors: * **Quality** — whether engagement rate and comment quality look normal for your follower size and platform * **Velocity** — how the content grows over time, including unnatural spikes * **Trust** — your account history, consistency, and long-term behaviour on GIMI ### Approval bonus Some campaigns pay a fixed amount when the brand approves your submission. Approval bonuses are credited instantly to your GIMI wallet. On distribution campaigns they sit on top of any ongoing performance rewards. On sourcing campaigns they are the main payout, along with any Spotlight. ### Spotlight bonus Brands can Spotlight especially strong work. A Spotlight may include extra visibility, a bonus payment, and additional credibility. Spotlights are at the brand’s discretion and are not guaranteed. ### Custom rewards and max payout Some brands add custom rules: view ranges, engagement thresholds, milestones, categories, or fixed payouts for specific actions. Some campaigns include a **Max Payout** — the most you can earn from a single piece of content. After that cap, extra views or engagement on that campaign do not add more rewards. ## Contest campaigns Contests are separate from sourcing and distribution reward pools. The brand sets a deadline and defines how winners are selected. You may be asked to post on socials **or** upload a file, depending on the contest. Approval means your entry is eligible for judging — not that you have won. Once the timer ends, the brand chooses winners on GIMI. Rewards are then distributed to winners’ wallets based on the listed structure. ### Ranking rewards Positions such as 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or Top 10, each with a listed amount. Paid when the brand confirms winners. ### Category rewards Custom categories such as most creative, funniest, best edit, best story, best product use, or community favourite. Each category has its own amount. ### Finalists A set number of top creators each receive the same listed amount. ## Withdraw your earnings Withdraw from your profile. * **Minimum withdrawal:** $10 * **GIMI withdraw fee:** 5% ### Tipalti GIMI also supports withdrawals through [Tipalti](https://tipalti.com/), with currencies and methods that depend on your region (including bank transfer, PayPal, and local options). ### Crypto Available options include: * USDC on Base * USDC on Ethereum Enter your wallet address, confirm, and the payout is processed. For withdrawal issues, email with your account name and email address. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
