TRIBE Influencer 12+

Easy and profitable!

I’ve been using this app for about a month now and I love it. New campaigns are posted every weekday and include some pretty big brands. The first post I submitted got accepted by a brand. It took about 3 weeks from submission until posting, and I was paid within a couple of days. For comparison, when I joined I had about 4500 followers and charged £55 for the post. I have other posts pending so fingers crossed!

One improvement I would suggest though is ensuring that the briefs the companies provide are really, really clear on what they want before they are accepted for posting. I submitted two posts, that I put time and effort into, that got rejected on the basis of not being close enough to the brief, which was completely unintentional on my part!

Otherwise, a simple to use app with a lovely simplistic design.

Brands should have a timeframe from the get go

It is beyond frustrating to shop to create a recipe or to shop for 3 recipes as i did yesterday (and have done previously), only to then create a recipe and go into the app to submit and the job has been paused just out of thin air or you have mere hours left to submit. How is 6 hours sufficient notice at 6.50 pm in the evening?
One recipe needed 4 hours to set and with filming and making it, that’s a nearly 2am finish. That would mean, being a parent and sleep would have to go out of the window.
Why is the brand not made to from the outset, have a set timeframe?
When you spend £40 on ingredients and have to drive 30 minutes to Waitrose, it almost feels like this company is all about serving themselves and the brand on the backs of people who are willing to do anything at any time and drop their commitments to make it happen. It’s ridiculous in 2025 that this is still ok and being allowed.
I also think the brands shouldn’t be able to ask all content creators on the app to create content and then get to choose just 1 or 2 people.

Don’t sell them your image copyright

My main problem is how much they profit from influencers’ images when a brand wants to buy the rights to a photo. The influencer gets £70 to £100 depending on how the brand requests an image. They charge the brand a lot more though (around £200 to £450). Which is quite bad as it is but what is worse is that they are the ones getting the copyright (Tribe) not the brand. This means if the image doesn’t show a product they could potentially profit from it multiple times however they want. Image copyright should cost many times higher than Tribe is actually paying influencers (this could be thousands of pounds for a good photograph!). So think twice before you sell them your images! Even when it features a brand’s product. They are ripping influencers off!
As a whole Tribe is not bad (hence the two stars) but it is true that lately a lot of brands are rejecting a lot of content. And it is also becoming increasingly hard to get in touch with them whenever there is a question regarding campaigns or if a problem arises.
