The basics of how Hire My Space works, for advertisers and creators.
General
What is Hire My Space?
Hire My Space is a marketplace that connects advertisers with X (Twitter) creators for sponsored posts. Advertisers bid, the bid appears on a public leaderboard, and creators earn for publishing the post.
How is Hire My Space different from other bidding or ranking sites?
Most bidding or ranking sites keep the win on their own leaderboard page, where the ad usually just redirects to a link. Hire My Space instead matches your bid with real X creators who post about you, so your budget can reach their followers too, not only people browsing our leaderboard. Auto-publish isn't turned on yet either, so every post still gets a manual review before it goes out, which means visitors keep coming through Hire My Space itself to see what a campaign is about, and some of them go on to become advertisers or creators here too.
Where can I see platform stats?
Visit the Stats page, a public dashboard showing campaigns, creators, advertisers, niche adoption, and live campaign status. No login required.
What timezone are the campaign times displayed in?
All times are in UTC. A campaign that starts today runs from the moment you pay for the full number of days you picked (a 1-day campaign bought at 6pm UTC ends at 6pm UTC the next day). A campaign with a later start date begins at 00:00 UTC on that day.
Is Hire My Space available in my region?
Yes. We treat every advertiser and creator the same everywhere right now, with one global set of pricing, niches and rules (aside from the handful of niches X's own policies restrict in specific regions). Region-specific pricing and rules are something we're planning to build out as the platform grows.
For Advertisers
How do I place a bid?
Click "Claim your rank" on the homepage. First say what you need: niche, what creators should do (post, pin, bio, banner, profile picture), which country the creators should be in, and whether you want verified creators, normal ones, or either. Press Next and we show how many creators match, how many are verified, and how many can post today. Then enter your listing fee and the amount for posting, pick the audience sizes, add your campaign details, agree to the terms and pay. Your entry appears on the public leaderboard immediately.
What is the listing fee?
The listing fee is what puts you on the leaderboard: $1 gets you listed, and the higher your listing fee, the higher you rank. There's no platform fee on it. It's separate from the amount for posting, which goes to the creators who post for you (with the platform fee included) and doesn't change your rank. If your amount for posting isn't fully needed, you can add the leftover to your listing fee or simply not be charged for it. Raising your bid works the same way: a listing fee to move up (at least $1), plus an optional amount for more posts while your campaign is running.
What if there's no creator for my niche or audience size yet?
You can still pay and go live. When we don't have a creator to match, you'll see a "Skip creators, pay the listing fee only" button. Clicking it switches your campaign to rank-only. A rank-only campaign doesn't serve any posts on X, and no creator does anything for it; you pay only your listing fee, which goes straight to your leaderboard position with no platform fee taken out. It's a way to hold your rank and get visibility on the site right away, instead of being stuck with no way to pay until a matching creator joins. A rank-only campaign says so clearly on its own campaign page, and there's no creator list or post metrics shown, since neither applies.
How is pricing determined?
Use the Sponsorship Cost Estimator to estimate the cost of a sponsored post based on follower count and engagement rate. The estimator is public and requires no login.
What does the platform fee cover?
Two things: 10% of the creators' price (matching, payments, refunds), plus what the X API costs us for each creator, at X's own prices. We publish each creator's post once ($0.015 for plain text, $0.2 with a link). While your campaign runs we read each post once a day for its views and likes, and once more when it ends ($0.005 per read). If you bought profile placements (pin, bio, banner or picture) we check the profile once at the end ($0.01), and X tells us straight away if a bio, banner or picture is changed. Nothing is read after your campaign ends. So it's per creator: 10 creators cost 10 times as much, and a longer campaign has more daily reads. The fee is included in the posts figure at checkout, and the total is rounded up to a whole dollar.
How is the price per creator worked out?
It starts from the creator's audience: the price for their follower range, from the cost estimator (followers × $5 per 1,000 × engagement). That's multiplied by what creators do for you (a pin, bio line, banner or picture adds to a post, and profile placements cost more the longer they stay up), by the creators' country (×0.75 in every country), and by ×1.5 if you ask for verified creators only. Creators in "any country" are priced at the lowest country rate, since the lowest-priced creators take a campaign first.
Can I choose verified creators or creators in a certain country?
Yes. On the first step pick where to serve (creators based in that country) and Verified, Normal or Any. Verified creators cost 1.5× a normal creator. A creator's country comes from where they sign in from, or from their X profile location if that's unknown.
What does "can post today" mean?
Creators post at most once a day. When you press Next we show how many creators match what you asked for, how many of those are verified or normal, and how many haven't posted in the last 24 hours and so can take your campaign today. The rest pick it up from tomorrow, while your campaign is still running.
How much does a side box ad cost?
Side box ads are priced by spot (spot 1 is the top one): spot 1 $1,000, spot 2 $1,000, spot 3 $800, spot 4 $800, spot 5 $500, spot 6 $500, each for 30 days. There's no platform fee on a side box.
How long does a side box ad stay live?
Each side box ad placement runs for 30 days from the moment of payment confirmation. After that, the ad is automatically removed and the slot becomes available for new advertisers.
Do you record my location?
Yes, approximately, to serve ads in the right place. When a creator signs in with X we record the country, region and city their connection comes from (from the IP address via Cloudflare, not GPS) and the location on their X profile, so they're offered campaigns for their country. When an advertiser checks out we record the same for that checkout, to prevent fraud. A VPN changes what we see. Details are in our Privacy Policy.
What niches are restricted?
Alcohol is restricted in some regions (e.g. India, UAE, Saudi Arabia); gambling is restricted in some regions (e.g. India, UAE, Singapore); tobacco, weapons, and adult content are banned globally. Restricted niches are automatically hidden based on your target region.
Do I need an account? How do I see how my campaign is doing?
No account or login. When you pay, we email one private link to the address you paid with. It opens all the campaigns you paid for with that email, and each one's results: how many creators delivered, each creator's post with its views, likes, reposts and replies (read from X once a day), what you paid, and any refund. We also email a full report when each campaign ends. The link is valid for 24 hours; after that, open My campaigns, enter the email you paid with, and if a campaign exists for it you'll get a new link. Links only ever go to that email, so keep them private.
What can I promote besides a post?
Pick any combination when you promote: a sponsored post, that post pinned to the top of the creator's profile, one or more lines in their bio (handy for more than one link), your image as their banner, and your logo as their profile picture. Presets cover the common ones (just a post, post + pin, full takeover). Every creator who takes your campaign does everything you picked, and the price per creator covers all of it. Profile placements stay up for the whole campaign window, so a longer campaign costs more, and each extra bio line adds a bit too, since it needs its own check against the creator's bio.
How do you know a creator changed their bio, banner or picture?
X doesn't let us edit a creator's profile for them, so they do it on X and we check. We read their profile back from X: the bio must contain your line, the pinned post must be your post, and the banner and picture must be different from what they were before the creator started. For banner and picture X only tells us that the image changed, not what it is, so it's worth looking at the creator's profile from the link on your campaign page. A creator is only counted as delivered, and only paid, once everything you picked is confirmed.
What if not every creator delivers?
You only pay for creators who deliver. When your campaign's end date passes and fewer creators delivered than you booked, the unused share of what you paid, including our fee on it, is queued as a refund and shown on your campaign page. Refunds go back to your original payment method.
What does Hire My Space charge advertisers?
Two things. The listing fee (at least $1, no fee on it) for your place on the leaderboard. And for posts: the creators' price plus the platform fee (10% plus the X API cost of each creator, per day the campaign runs), shown as one figure with the fee included and rounded up to a whole dollar. Campaigns run from 1 day up to 30 days. Creators are charged a separate 20% fee on their own price.
How are creators chosen for my campaign?
You pick a follower range and how many creators you want, and your payment sets a budget per creator. Creators in your niche and range set their own price per post. Your campaign is shown to the lowest-priced creators first, up to the number you booked, so you usually spend less than your budget per post and the difference stays with the platform. Each creator is paid the price they asked, less a 20% platform fee, and only after your campaign ends and their post is still up and unedited.
What does Fulfilled mean for my campaign?
As soon as the number of creators you booked have all posted, your campaign is marked Fulfilled and no more creators can publish it. When the end date passes it is marked Expired. Neither status deletes anything: the campaign, its stats and its posts stay visible.
What happens when my campaign ends?
When the end date passes we read every creator's post from X one last time, check their profile placements, queue any refund for creators who didn't deliver, and email you the full report. Those final numbers stay on your results page. Creators can't post an ended campaign any more; you can still raise its listing fee to lift its rank on the leaderboard.
How long do you keep my campaign data?
Images you upload for a banner or profile picture are deleted after 1 day if the checkout isn't paid. For a paid campaign they're kept while it runs and for 30 days after it ends, so you can still see them on your results page and share it, then deleted. Creators upload their own copy to X, so deleting ours doesn't affect their profile. Your campaign's results (posts, views, clicks, what you paid and any refund) stay on your results page; request a new link from My campaigns with the email you paid with at any time. Payment records are kept as required for accounting.
What happens if my campaign violates your policies?
If a campaign doesn't meet our content policy and it still goes live, we take it down and remove it from the leaderboard as soon as we catch it. This applies even if the advertiser was the one who posted content that shouldn't have been allowed. No refund is given in this case: it's the advertiser's responsibility to make sure a campaign follows our rules before submitting it.
For Creators
How do I become a creator?
Click "Earn as a creator" in the sidebar and sign in with X. First-time creators set a price per post and pick the niches they accept. The rest of the dashboard unlocks after that.
How is my price per post decided?
You choose it, up to a ceiling. We work out two numbers: the calculator price (your real followers × $5 per 1,000 × an engagement boost from how your recent posts perform) and the estimate for your follower tier. The lower of the two is your maximum. Accounts so small that the maximum would be a few cents get a $1 floor. The numbers update as your followers and engagement change.
Why can some creators charge more?
Advertisers pay more for verified creators (×1.5) and for creators in higher-priced countries (×0.75 in every country), so your price ceiling is adjusted the same way. Your country comes from where you sign in from, or your X profile location if that's unknown. Your dashboard shows the adjustment.
Which campaigns am I shown, and what am I paid?
Each campaign has a budget per creator: what the advertiser paid, divided by the number of creators they booked. It is shown only to creators in its niche and follower range whose price is at or under that budget, and cheapest first. If an advertiser booked 4 creators and 100 creators ask $4, only those $4 creators see it, not the ones asking $5. If fewer creators are cheap enough, the next price level sees it too. When you publish you are paid your own price (less our 20% fee), not the budget. The difference stays with the platform, which is why a lower price wins more campaigns. We also always keep at least 20% of every slot, so the most a campaign can pay one creator is 80% of its budget per creator. You can change your price whenever you like.
What does Fulfilled mean?
The advertiser booked a set number of creators. As soon as that many have posted, the campaign is marked Fulfilled: it stays on your Campaigns list with the number of creators who posted, but nobody else can publish it. If you didn't post in time it moves to Closed. Campaigns that reach their end date are marked Expired. Nothing is ever deleted.
What if several creators press Publish at the same moment?
The advertiser paid for a fixed number of posts, so the slots are handed out strictly first come, first served. When you press Publish we lock the campaign, count the slots left and reserve one for you before anything is sent to X. If the last slot goes to someone else a moment earlier, you'll be told the campaign has already been published by the creators the advertiser paid for, and nothing is posted to your account. If a creator's post fails on X, their slot is released and opens up again.
Why is it limited to 1 post per day?
One post a day keeps your feed from filling with ads, lets us check every post by hand, and keeps advertisers' results clean. The limit is enforced when you publish: once you've posted, the Publish button is locked until 24 hours have passed.
Are my posts published automatically?
Not yet. Right now you publish by hand: each campaign appears under Campaigns with the exact text that will be posted, and nothing goes to your account until you approve it and press Publish. Nobody reviews campaigns in the background; reading and approving each post is your job as the creator. Auto-publish, where a campaign posts to your account on its own with no review step, is planned for later.
Do I have to use the Paid partnership label?
It is your choice in Settings. If you turn it on, each campaign is published with X's official "Paid partnership" label, switched on through the X API. Some brands prefer their post to look like a normal post, so you can also publish without it, and you'll still be matched with campaigns. Warning: X requires this label on posts that are part of a paid partnership (see X's Paid Partnerships Policy). Without it your post can be removed and your account restricted, and you are responsible for any disclosure the law requires where you live. Hire My Space isn't liable for that, so we recommend leaving the label on.
When do I get paid?
Only after the campaign ends, and only once payouts are open. Payouts need a payment gateway, which we are still connecting. When it is live you will register your payout details (you have to register before you can be paid), and then press Withdraw in the Payouts tab. Earnings from every ended campaign are paid together in one payout, and payouts start at $10: below that your balance just keeps building. Until payouts open, the Payouts tab tracks your estimated earnings so nothing is lost.
Do you take a cut of my earnings?
Yes: a 20% platform fee comes out of your price. If you price a post at $4.00 you receive $3.20. The dashboard always shows the amount after the fee, and there is no separate payout fee. Hire My Space also keeps the gap between what the advertiser paid for the slot and the price you asked, and always keeps at least 20% of every slot before the fee.
What if I delete or edit a post?
That post is not paid. We read your post on X every day while the campaign runs and once more when it ends: it has to still be up, never edited, and visible to everyone (not on a protected account) at the end. If you delete or change it at any point, even after it has been live for days, it doesn't count, and the campaign is marked as not payable for you. Please leave posts alone until the campaign ends.
Why don't I see any campaigns?
Campaigns are matched when you open your dashboard. You need a saved price and at least one niche, and a paid campaign in one of those niches must still be running, fit your follower range, have room left, and have a budget per creator at or above your price. If cheaper creators already fill it, it won't be shown to you. Lowering your price or adding a niche can change that.
Is my X login safe?
We only ask X for what the work needs: reading your profile (to check bio, banner, picture and pinned post changes, and to show them on your settings page) and posting when you press Publish. Your X access is stored encrypted, it is only used while you are logged in (to publish, to check your profile and posts, and to refresh your follower count once a day at most), and it is erased from our database when you log out of your last signed-in device. We never post without your click, and we never change your profile: you do that yourself.
What are profile placements and how do I earn from them?
Besides a post, advertisers can book your pinned post, a line in your bio, your banner and your profile picture. In Settings you switch each one on and set your price per day (there's a ceiling based on your audience). A campaign that needs a bundle, say post + pin + banner, is offered only to creators who have switched on all of it, and pays your prices for the campaign's length, less our 20% fee. Profile placements are worth more the longer the campaign runs. You make the changes on X yourself: press Start (we save how your profile looks), make the changes, then press Verify and publish. The pin comes after the post exists: pin it, then press Check my profile. You are paid once everything is confirmed and the campaign has ended. Keep everything in place until then.
Do sidebar ads earn creators money?
No. Sidebar placements are shown on the site, not posted by creators. Only campaigns you publish on your own X account earn a payout.
How do I log out or delete my account?
Click your name at the bottom of the sidebar (on a phone, use Log out at the top of the dashboard) and choose Log out. To remove your account, go to Settings and choose Delete account. That erases your creator profile and settings.
