Projects are the core of your activity on Stllr. Each project is a video brief from a brand that defines what they need, who they want, and what they will pay. As a creator, your job is to find the right projects, join them, deliver the video, and get paid. ## Project types There are two types of projects on Stllr: | Type | What you deliver | Who can join | | - | - | - | | UGC | A video the brand uses in their own channels. You do not post anything. | All creators | | Influencer | A video you publish on your own social account. | Creators with a verified follower count above the minimum threshold | See [Creator levels and tiers on Stllr](/creators/profile/creator-levels) for details on eligibility. ## How you get matched with projects There are two ways a project can become available to you: ### Recommendation Stllr's matching engine compares your profile — niche, language, country, face preference, and follower count — against active project briefs and recommends the ones you are a good fit for. The ops team can also recommend projects to specific creators manually, though this is less common. When a project is recommended to you, it appears on your **Explore page**. You can review the full brief and decide whether to join. ### Direct assignment For some projects — particularly premium campaigns — the Stllr ops team hand-picks creators and assigns them directly without going through the recommendation step. When this happens, you are contacted by the team and added to the project. You do not need to take any action to join. ## The Explore page The Explore page shows all projects currently recommended to you. Each listing shows the project brief, including the brand's requirements, video type, instructions, and other details. You can only see projects that the matching engine or ops team has recommended to you — the Explore page is not a global catalogue of all active projects on the platform. ## Joining a project When you find a project on Explore that you want to join, you can self-assign by clicking to join. Before the assignment is confirmed, Stllr will show you: 1. **Profile requirement gaps** — any brief requirements your profile does not fully meet. The matching engine allows some flexibility, so you may be recommended for projects where not every requirement is a perfect match. Review these carefully before joining. 2. **Terms and conditions** — you must accept these to proceed. Once confirmed, you are assigned to the project and it moves to your active projects. ## Active project limit You can have a maximum of **3 active (ongoing) projects** at the same time. A project is considered active from the moment you join until it is completed or cancelled. If you are already in 3 active projects, you cannot join a new one until one of them is finished. This limit does not apply to projects assigned directly by the ops team. ## Physical product projects Some projects involve a physical product. These projects have two additional attributes visible on the project page: * **Product reimbursement** — if the project requires you to buy the product yourself locally rather than have it shipped to you, Stllr reimburses the product cost to your wallet after your video is approved, alongside your earnings. See [Product reimbursement](/creators/projects/product-reimbursement). * **Product return** — each physical product project has a status of either **Gift** (you keep it) or **Returned** (you send it back via courier once the video is finalized or the project ends). See [Product return](/creators/projects/product-return). ## Frequently asked questions The Explore page only shows projects recommended to you based on your profile. There are two possible reasons for an empty page: * **Profile incomplete** — make sure your niche, language, country, and social account are all set correctly. See [Your creator profile on Stllr](/creators/getting-started/profile-setup). * **No matching briefs right now** — brief availability is entirely demand-driven. It depends on what brands are currently running on the platform. Gaps between projects are normal, especially in slower periods. Keep the app open and check back regularly — new briefs are added as brands launch campaigns. This most likely means the project is no longer available to you. Projects can fill up or be reassigned quickly after notifications go out. If the link returns a 404, the brief has been taken or the recommendation has been withdrawn. Check your Explore page for other available projects. There are two possible reasons. The brand may have requested a different creator, or the Stllr ops team may have determined you are not the right fit for the project after reviewing it. In either case, you are removed from the project. If you believe this was an error, contact Stllr support. No. You can only join projects that appear on your Explore page, which are determined by the matching engine or ops team. You cannot browse or apply to projects outside of what is recommended to you. Any project you have joined that has not yet been completed or cancelled counts as active. This includes projects in any phase — shipping, scripting, filming, reviewing, or refiling. ## Related topics - [Browse and join a project from Explore](/creators/projects/browse-and-join.md) - [How UGC campaigns work on Stllr](/brands/getting-started/how-ugc-works.md) - [How creator matching works](/brands/campaigns/creator-matching.md) - [How to join Stllr as a brand](/brands/getting-started/join-stllr.md) This documentation is built and hosted on [Mintlify](https://mintlify.com), a developer documentation platform.
