Manually uploading content

If you’ve been assigned non-social network tasks or you haven’t connected your social networks, such as Instagram or TikTok, you can complete tasks by manually uploading content via your Live Site. When you manually upload, you have to provide a file copy of your content, a link, and the metrics associated with your content depending on the type of task you’re completing.

If you have connected your social network accounts and have started posting content for brands with the correct hashtags and mentions, your content has already been automatically picked up by GRIN. This means you don't need to manually deliver your content since the brands already have it, and if you try to, you'll get a message confirming that the content was already delivered.  

 What you'll need

• Your Live Site. If you don't have one, contact your collaborating brand to send you a link to yours.
• An active program with a collaborating brand that you can deliver content to
• If you’re delivering for a social network task (such as an Instagram post or TikTok video), you’ll need an image or video file copy of your content, your post’s URL, your post’s date of post (if applicable), and your post’s engagement metrics from within the first 24 hours of when you posted.
• If you’re delivering for a non-social network task, the requirements will be different depending on the type:
  • File Upload: An image, video, Word document, or PDF file 
  • URL: A link to your content 
  • Text: Copy and pasted text of your content such as a post, blog, or review

How to do it

2. Select View on the program you’re submitting content for.
