# How to avoid rejections

A rejected clip earns nothing, however many views it gets. Most rejections come from the same few mistakes.

## Before you post

- Read the whole brief and every do and don't. If a rule is unclear, ask on the platform before posting.
- Use the content, sounds, tags, captions and links the campaign asks for, exactly as written.
- Post only on the apps the campaign lists, and in the region and language it asks for.
- Make your own edit. Reposting someone else's clip, or the same clip twice, is a common reason to be turned down.

## After you post

- Send the link in soon. Views before the platform has your link may not count, and the budget may run out.
- Keep the clip up and public. A deleted or private clip can't be checked or counted.
- Never buy views or use bots. Platforms check views, and fake ones can get your account removed.

## If a clip is rejected

Read the reason the platform gives, fix it in the next clip, and keep a note of rules that differ between campaigns. Each platform decides its own appeals.
