Step 1: Application & Approval
We want to ensure our partners are set up for success. We primarily work with creators whose audience is based in Tier-1 Economies.

Step 2: Creating Your Content
You can create videos for TikTok or Instagram Reels.
To maintain our brand's high quality, we require that you use our official asset generators found in the Creator Tools page.
These tools let you create professional "Before/After" or "Analysis" cards in seconds. Please avoid using low-quality manual screenshots, as they don't perform as well.

To ensure you get paid for your hard work, please follow these guidelines carefully. These rules help us monetize the traffic effectively so we can share the revenue with you.
ℹ️ Important Guidelines for Payment
Authenticity Matters: We love organic growth! Please avoid using bots or fake view services, as these views don't convert to users, and we unfortunately cannot pay for them.
Keep It Live: Your videos are your portfolio. Please keep your paid videos live on your profile to maintain your status in the program.

4. Engagement Tip (The "Sock Puppet")
To boost engagement, we recommend this pro tip: Immediately after posting, switch to a secondary account and comment "What is the app?".
Then, reply from your main account: "UMAX AI - Ascend & Looksmax". This pins the app name to the top of your comments section!

# frequently-asked-questions
I have 100k views, but my submission was rejected. Why?
The most common reason is the audience location. We strictly require >70% of views to come from the Tier-1 countries listed in #video-requirements.
Please check your analytics carefully. If your viral video hit big in regions not on our list, we unfortunately cannot pay for it as our advertisers do not cover those markets.

Do I need to delete my video after payment?
No, please keep it up! We pay for the permanent placement of the video. Deleting a paid video is against our partnership agreement and may prevent us from working with you on future campaigns.
How do I verify the "Country" requirement?
When you fill out the submission form, we ask for a screenshot of your "Viewer Regions" from your TikTok/Instagram analytics for that specific video. This transparency allows us to approve your payout quickly!
Can I promote other apps in the same video?
To receive payment, the video should be exclusively focused on UMAX AI. Mixing in other competitor apps confuses the message, so we ask for exclusivity in that specific post.
