26 answers

What does the partnership include?

The core offer covers publishing, marketing and distribution for accepted creative projects. The exact formats, services, responsibilities and release activity are defined for each project in a written agreement.

Are there any upfront fees?

There are no upfront publishing or marketing fees in the standard offer: no setup charge, required subscription, paid tier, compulsory ad budget or required purchase. Any separate proposal must be disclosed and agreed before you commit.

How do you make money?

We participate through an agreed share of sales revenue. The percentage, revenue definition, permitted deductions, reporting and payment timing are set out in the project agreement before work begins.

Is submitting free?

Yes. Sending a project or inquiry for evaluation is free and does not commit you to a publishing agreement.

Do I keep my copyright?

Submitting your work does not transfer copyright. Any license needed for publication, marketing or distribution must be specifically agreed in writing. Read the proposed scope before signing.

Is the agreement exclusive?

Exclusivity is not assumed from a submission. Any exclusivity, including its format, territory and duration, must be expressly stated in the written agreement.

How and when are creators paid?

The contract defines reporting frequency, payment timing, thresholds if any, and treatment of refunds, chargebacks, taxes and third-party fees. We do not advertise a universal payout schedule.

Can I end the partnership?

Termination, notice, rights reversion and handling of existing sales or ongoing obligations must be explained in the agreement. A submission alone creates no distribution commitment.

What should I submit?

Provide a clear overview, your contact details, a secure review link, the current stage and a summary of the rights you control. The submission form lists the details needed for the chosen format.

Do you accept every project?

No. We review fit, quality, readiness, audience potential, available rights and the practical scope of a release. Submission is an invitation to evaluate, not a promise of acceptance.

Can I submit AI-assisted work?

Disclose the tools used and their role in the finished work, along with relevant permissions. Eligibility depends on the work, rights, applicable channel policies and review; AI use does not by itself establish ownership.

Can creators outside the United States inquire?

Yes, you may inquire from other countries. Available services, distribution, payment arrangements and contracting depend on the project and location and must be confirmed before acceptance.

Can I upload files here?

Initial submissions use secure review links rather than direct file uploads. Share a view-only link and access instructions; do not send account credentials or unrelated private documents.

How quickly will I hear back?

Review time depends on the project and current volume. We do not promise a fixed response window. Keep your submission reference and use the inquiry form if you need to follow up.

Do you guarantee sales or placement?

No. Sales, earnings, audience growth, reviews, platform acceptance and specific placements are not guaranteed. Marketing and distribution are planned activities, not promises of a commercial outcome.

Where will my work be distributed?

Appropriate channels are selected for the format, audience, territory, available rights and channel requirements. No specific platform is promised simply because you submit.

What will I be responsible for?

You provide accurate information, authorized review materials and clarity about rights and collaborators. Production assets, approvals, revisions and other responsibilities are detailed in the agreed scope.

Will my submission be public?

No. Submission details are used for evaluation, correspondence and administration. They are not automatically published as a portfolio listing or promotional content.

Does submitting sign me up for marketing?

No. The form authorizes project evaluation and related contact. It does not enroll you in an unrelated newsletter or grant permission to publish the work.

How do I correct or remove submitted information?

Use the contact form, select a privacy request and include your reference if available. Do not send additional sensitive information. We may need to verify that the request relates to you.

Will you grow my follower count?

Audience growth may be an outcome, but no follower count or engagement result is guaranteed. The focus is meaningful discovery around an agreed creative release.

Is AudienceRising only a marketing service?

No. The offer combines publishing, marketing and distribution for accepted creative projects. Audience strategy helps guide the release; it is not a stand-alone social media subscription or follower-growth package.

Do I need a large existing audience?

No minimum following is advertised. Tell us who already responds to the work, if anyone, and which communities you understand well.

Do you require an advertising budget?

There is no compulsory ad budget in the standard offer. Any proposed spending, approval process and treatment of costs must be agreed in advance.

Do you buy lists or use unsolicited messaging?

The intended approach is permission-based audience development and relevant discovery. Submission consent is not consent to add a creator to unrelated marketing lists.

What does success look like?

Goals are agreed for the project and can include release readiness, appropriate distribution, qualified engagement or sales. We do not promise specific numerical outcomes.
