How to Add Creators to VwD
Why Add Creators?
Adding creators to VwD is essential for:
- Ensuring Brand Safety: Kickstart the process of analyzing creators’ content against your brand's sensitivity criteria.
- Real-Time Monitoring: Monitor newly uploaded content in real-time for potential risks.
- Compliance Management: Identify and mitigate compliance violations efficiently.
Method 1: Adding Creators Manually
This method is ideal for adding one or a few creators. Follow these steps:
Step 1: Navigate to the "Add Creator(s)" Page
- From the left-hand menu, select "Add Creator(s)".
- You’ll see two options: manual entry or bulk upload.
Step 2: Enter Creator Details
Fill in the required fields in the "Add Creators Manually" section:
- Name: Enter the creator’s full name or the name they are known by on social media.
- Platforms: Add the creator’s profile handles for platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X (formerly Twitter), and Facebook.
- Email Address: Optional but recommended for tracking and contacting purposes.
- Demographics: Specify the creator’s age, region, and gender if known.
Step 3: Review and Confirm
Once all fields are filled:
- Click "Create" to add the creator to your organization.
- The platform will automatically begin scanning the creator’s content across the specified platforms.
Pro Tip: Ensure the social media handles are accurate to avoid errors during scanning.
Method 2: Bulk Uploading Creators
If you’re working with larger numbers of creators, bulk uploading is the fastest option.
Step 1: Prepare Your Spreadsheet
- Click "Download Sample" to get the required spreadsheet template.
- Open the file in Excel or Google Sheets.
- Fill out the fields for up to 100 creators per file:
- Name
- Platform-specific profile names (e.g., Instagram, YouTube)
- Age, Region, and Gender (optional)
Step 2: Upload the Spreadsheet
- On the "Add Creator(s)" page, select the "Upload a Spreadsheet" option.
- Drag and drop your completed file or click "Bulk Upload" to browse and select your file.
Step 3: Confirm Upload
- Once the upload is complete, the platform will validate the data. If any issues are detected (e.g., missing profile names), you’ll receive an error message with guidance on fixing it.
- Upon successful upload, the system will automatically start scanning the creators' content.
