Changelog

Invite colleagues to your team and work on bounties, collaboration requests and creator collaborations together. Owners manage the team, while Members get separate View and Edit permissions for each area: Personal only for their own work, or Team-wide for work owned by everyone in the team.

This also makes Adbounty easier for marketing agencies. Bring account managers and campaign specialists into one team, give them the access they need to manage client campaigns, and keep creator collaborations moving without sharing a login. Everyone keeps their own account, and collaboration activity shows who took each action.

Create your team in Team settings. You can invite someone before they have an Adbounty account; they can sign up with the invited email, verify it, and accept the invitation. Owners can also review and pay outstanding team collaboration rewards from Payments. Personal account settings remain private.

Keep your brand and product links ready for your next campaign. Add, rename, edit, or remove websites in Brand Websites, then choose a saved URL from the Brand or product URL field when creating or editing a bounty. Only the website URL is required; leave Name blank to use the domain automatically. You can also enter a new URL in the bounty form and check “Add to saved websites” to keep it for next time.

Moving to a new domain or refreshing your brand? When editing a saved URL, you can choose to update existing bounties using that link too. The editor shows how many bounties will be updated, so you can change matching campaign links in one step.

Instagram now supports automatic audience demographics sync alongside YouTube. Connected Instagram professional accounts can sync follower age groups, gender distribution, and top countries when Instagram makes these insights available.

Brands can better assess audience fit before collaborating. These insights appear in the channel's profile and stay private unless the creator grants access. Creators can manage and revoke access from Demographics Access, just like with YouTube.

Explore real brand collaborations. See which brands work with which creators and jump straight to the sponsored segment, instead of searching through a full video.

Turn your affiliate program into a bounty. Offer a sales commission and an optional initial reward, so creators can discover your program, agree on the offer, and become your affiliates through Adbounty. Choose commission only, or add an initial payment for becoming an affiliate. For example, a 15% offer can also include a $100 initial reward paid through Adbounty.

Describe commission eligibility and payout conditions in the bounty brief. Sales tracking and commission payouts remain in your affiliate program. Either participant can end participation in the affiliate program at any time.

Set a reward that grows with the creator’s audience. Choose how much to offer per 1,000 subscribers or followers, then set a cap to keep each collaboration within your budget.

The selected channel’s audience count and whole-dollar reward are fixed when the request is sent. Later audience growth does not change that agreed amount. Fixed rewards remain available.

See how a sponsored post performs after it goes live. Published-post tracking now covers collaborations with or without performance bonuses. Submit a supported post URL from a connected channel to see its views and daily history in the collaboration’s Performance section.

We record the first snapshot when the URL is submitted, then check views daily through 30 days after publication. Tracking continues after the collaboration is completed or paid, so both participants can see how the post keeps growing.

The 30-day window starts at publication. Submit on day 3 and we track the remaining 27 days; earlier history cannot be reconstructed. Posts without a supported, connected channel show as Untracked. Missing analytics do not block publication or payment for collaborations without bonuses.

Reward creators when their sponsored posts go further. Add up to five optional performance bonuses when creating or editing a bounty, with a view multiplier, a 7-, 14-, or 30-day window, and an additional reward for each level.

Views are compared with the channel’s average across its latest 25 eligible posts, fixed when the request is accepted. Every achieved bonus adds up, with one combined bonus payment after the latest deadline and final verification. Creators who do not qualify can still accept the collaboration without bonuses.

In this example, reaching both levels earns an additional $300 on top of the $250 reward. Tracking starts when the creator submits the published post URL; submit it by the relevant deadline at the latest.

Owner-only matching now connects each bounty with verified creator channels that meet its platform and audience requirements, then prioritizes category overlap and audience fit.

Creators also see public bounties matched to the selected channel on their own profile. Each recommendation starts from the exact bounty or channel being viewed, with a filtered browse link when they want to explore more.

Collaboration pages now bring the full campaign into one focused workspace. The redesigned progress line, participant summary, conversation, shared files, payment, and publication steps all stay together from the first message to the completed collaboration.

Messages, decisions, and processed media now appear in one activity feed. The current action stays easy to find, while the details rail keeps the target channel, reward, published post, participants, and collaboration guidelines close at hand.

My Collaborations is now a clearer workspace for tracking every active campaign. Each row brings the bounty, creator and channel, start date, reward, and full collaboration progress together in one view.

The new progress line shows what has already happened and what comes next. Yellow markers highlight steps that need your attention, while filters for status, bounty, creator or channel, and action required make it easy to focus on the collaborations that matter right now.

Bounty pages have been redesigned to make a campaign easier to understand at a glance. The brand, reward, minimum audience, target platforms, and campaign fit now lead the page in one clear summary.

Campaign assets now use a thumbnail-led carousel, while the new sidebar gives each visitor the action that matters to them: request a collaboration, choose a matching channel, or manage an owned bounty. Brand information and a concise overview of the collaboration process complete the new layout.

What Acme wants creators to make

Show how the Acme trail bottle fits into an active day outdoors, from packing your bag to the final viewpoint. Keep the story practical, optimistic, and true to your usual content.

Explore the refreshed experience in the bounty directory.

Creating a bounty now follows a clearer, guided layout. Brand details, creator targeting, the audience and offer, and the creative brief are grouped into focused sections so it is easier to see what creators need.

A live bounty-card preview updates while you work, and a readiness checklist shows what is still required. Every new bounty continues to begin as a private draft for review before publication.

Creators and brands can now add an optional message when sending a collaboration request or making a counter-offer. Share an introduction, clarify the proposed content, or explain the thinking behind a different offer before the other party responds.

Request and counter-offer messages stay together throughout the offer exchange and carry into the collaboration conversation when an offer is accepted.

Brands can now offer a $0 bounty reward instead of the previous $100 minimum. This supports gifted-product, community, portfolio, and other collaborations that do not include a cash reward.

Brands can now upload and save multiple logos, give each one a recognizable label, and select the right logo for each bounty. The selected logo appears alongside the brand name on bounty cards, making campaigns easier to recognize while browsing.

Logos can be created directly while creating or editing a bounty, or managed from the new brand logo settings. Deleting a logo shows how many bounties use it and, after confirmation, removes it from those bounties without deleting them.

Brands can now request private audience demographics when inviting a creator to collaborate. Creators can approve that request or proactively include demographics access when applying to a bounty, helping both sides confirm audience fit before moving forward.

Shared YouTube Analytics include age and gender distribution plus top countries by views for the last 90 days. Access is always controlled by the creator and can be revoked at any time from Demographics Access.

We have published in-depth guides for finding and evaluating influencers by platform, content category, and audience size. Each guide combines matching verified influencer profiles with practical guidance on audience fit, campaign formats, pricing factors, performance measurement, and creator selection.

Brands can use these pages to move from a broad search to a more informed shortlist. Influencers can use them to understand what brands evaluate when planning a campaign for their channel, niche, or audience tier.

Start in the influencer directory, or open one of the guides above and follow its related links to explore other platforms, categories, and audience tiers.

Getting started on Adbounty just got even easier. You can now sign up and log in with your Google account — no password required. Whether you're a creator looking to connect your channels or a brand ready to launch your first bounty, you're one click away.

Already have an account? Log in or create a new account — or just jump straight in:

Creators can now connect their Instagram account to Adbounty. This is a big milestone — we now have integrations for all of the biggest social media platforms, completing the picture for creators who want their full presence in one place.

For brands, this means you can browse creators and reach out with confidence, knowing their stats are always current. No more guessing whether a creator's numbers are outdated — what you see is what you get.

Ready to link your account? Connect your social media channels in your channel settings.

Creators can now connect their social media channels to Adbounty with a single click. Once linked, channel stats are synced automatically so brands always see up-to-date audience data. Say goodbye to manually updating a media kit PDF — your Adbounty profile stays current on its own.

Integrations available for:

• YouTube

• TikTok

• X.com

• Facebook

• Twitch

We've published a comprehensive glossary covering both Adbounty-specific terms and common influencer marketing industry terminology. Whether you're new to creator partnerships or just want to brush up on the lingo — bounties, briefs, engagement rates, UGC, and more are all explained in plain language.

Every page on Adbounty has been redesigned to be fully responsive and mobile-friendly. Whether you're browsing bounties, managing collaborations, or reviewing analytics — the experience is now smooth on any screen size.

• All pages reworked with a mobile-friendly layout
• Navigation adapted for small screens
• Forms, tables, and cards reflow cleanly on any device

We've added new filters to help brands and creators find the perfect match faster. Brands can now filter creators by audience size, channel platform, and content categories. Creators can filter bounties by reward amount, target platform, and brand category.

A round of performance improvements and bug fixes based on user feedback. Page load times on the bounty listings are noticeably faster thanks to eager loading improvements and smarter caching.

We also launched a FAQ page with transparent, straightforward answers to the most common questions about how Adbounty works.

Brands and creators can now communicate directly within Adbounty. No more jumping to email or DMs — all collaboration discussion lives alongside the bounty itself.

• Real-time messaging on collaboration threads
• Unread message badge in the navigation
• Email digest for messages when you're offline
• Clear structure guides both parties from brief to completion
• Upload your proposed deliverable directly in the chat for review
• Share the live post link once it's published to close the loop
• Payment is initiated and handled within the collaboration — no chasing invoices

Brands can now view verified audience analytics for creators before sending a collaboration invite. Stats are pulled directly from connected platforms and refreshed automatically.

• Follower counts, average views, and post cadence — per channel
• View count, like count, comment count, and engagement rates — per post
• Historical views per post chart (last 50 posts)

Adbounty is officially live! After months of building and private beta testing, the platform is now open to all creators and brands. Brands can post a bounty (collaboration opportunity) and creators can connect their social media accounts. Brands and creators can then discover each other, communicate, and collaborate — all within Adbounty.

This is just the beginning — we're committed to continuous improvement and have a long roadmap of features and enhancements planned. Happy bounty hunting!
