Why was my clip rejected?
Brands review every submission, and they can approve it or reject it. To raise your chances of approval, read the guidelines carefully, look at the example posts, and put real effort into the clip.
If a clip is rejected, the brand should give a clear reason. The most common causes are not following the campaign's content rules, posting on a platform the campaign doesn't allow, or a link that doesn't match your verified account.
- Re-read the campaign guidelines and fix the issue the brand flagged.
- Make sure you posted on an allowed platform with your verified account.
- Fix it and resubmit the same post once, or post a new clip and submit that.

How to connect a social account
Verify each social account before submitting clips on it — usually by placing a bio code on your profile that Shoot reads back, or by connecting the account, so brands can trust your posts and views.
