Why pay for hours if a commission costs nothing up front?

Because a creator paid for the work films more and films sooner. A share of sales on top keeps the upside. The hour is the one way not among Trybe’s six.

Can the share be capped?

A share of ad spend is capped per video. A share of sales is a percent of each order, or a fixed amount per order.

What do I need to start?

A work email and your store. The 7-day trial lets you read your store, browse the ranked feed, create a campaign and collect applicants before anything is charged.
