A note on two names: the API calls a set a pair, and an agency is sometimes called a workspace.
- Agencyalso: workspace
- The workspace that owns one or more brands. Agency owners and admins create brands, manage members and handle billing for every brand. Learn more
- Base pay
- The fixed amount a creator earns for each set that qualifies under the brand’s base pay rules. Learn more
- Bonus
- Extra pay for views, on top of base pay — either tiers (reach a view count, earn a set amount) or linear CPM. A set only earns a bonus if its base pay qualifies. Learn more
- Brand
- A creator program inside an agency, with its own creators, pay rules, payout cycles and settings. Each brand needs an active subscription. Learn more
- Brand admin
- A person who manages a brand. Full admins can do everything; limited admins can’t see the Base pay and Bonus pay queues or change admin access. Learn more
- Claim
- A request from a creator to take over a profile that was created for them (by a brand or in the marketplace) and link it to their own account. Learn more
- Complimentary accessalso: comp
- Free use of a plan until a set date, instead of a paid subscription. The brand’s card shows “Free until” that date. Learn more
- CPM
- Cost per mille — the amount paid per 1,000 views. Used by linear CPM bonuses and shown as average CPM in analytics. Learn more
- Creator
- A person who posts videos for a brand and gets paid for them. One creator can work with several brands from one Bloss account. Learn more
- Creator groupalso: group, cohort
- A named, colored group of creators used to organize and filter the roster, Video Vault and analytics. Groups never change pay. Learn more
- Creator Hub
- A brand’s team dashboard: totals, momentum, leaderboards and recent wins. Brands can share a read-only version with an access code. Learn more
- Dead link
- A tracked video that can no longer be reached — deleted by the creator, set to private, removed or archived. Learn more
- Irrelevant video
- A video a brand admin has excluded. Irrelevant videos don’t count toward pay, stats or posting compliance. Learn more
- Ledger payout model
- An alternative to per-cycle payouts where Bloss tracks each creator’s earnings over time and only pays the difference since the last settlement. Learn more
- Marketplace
- Bloss’s public directory of creators. Creators list a profile; brands on the Growth plan and up can invite creators from it. Learn more
- Payout cyclealso: pay cycle, pay period
- A date range a brand pays creators for. When a cycle is created it snapshots the brand’s pay rules, so later rule changes don’t change it. Learn more
- Payout provider
- The service a brand uses to send creators their money: Whop or SideShift. A brand can also pay creators directly outside Bloss. Learn more
- Posting compliancealso: posting cadence
- A daily check of each creator’s posting against the brand’s cadence rules (minimum posts per week, maximum per day). Learn more
- Setalso: pair, video set
- One video posted to up to four platforms (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook), with at most one post per platform. Bloss pays creators per set. Learn more
- Tag
- A label you add to videos or sets (for example a hook or product) to compare what performs best in Tag Analytics. Learn more
- Trial
- An optional first stage for new creators: they qualify as full members after posting enough videos that reach the brand’s view target within the trial period. Learn more
- Video Vaultalso: vault, library
- The library of every video and set in a brand’s campaign, with filters, a player, analytics and tagging. Learn more
