Inside the Buntu creator rewards program

A behind-the-scenes look at how creators get paid for the communities they bring to life.

When we started building the creator rewards program, we asked ourselves a simple question: what would it look like if creators were paid for the value they actually create — not just the views they generate?

The answer turned out to be more interesting than we expected. Creators on Buntu earn from three things: the brands they introduce, the shoppers they bring, and the communities they sustain over time.

That last one is the part most platforms ignore. Communities aren't built in a viral moment — they're built in the quiet weeks between them. Our rewards program pays for that quiet work, too.

If you're a creator wondering whether this is for you: yes, it is. Apply from the app, and we'll be in touch within a week.
