Skeepers Creators Reviews

by I'll Tell You

Not good company they do not work well with creators and won’t help at all when you can for sure help with the simple issue I personally had. Also when advising them because of this issue I couldn’t do anything on there platform anymore so I wanted to delete account of course because there is no point staying if I can’t review any longer. They ignored my request and talked around it a few times. They dont want to delete prob because this way it looks like they have more members then they actually do for brands tricking them to work with them making themselves look more appealing however there unaware that some members (I’m sure there plenty) cannot actually help there brand or spread the word for them because they cannot review any longer. This is a scummy business tactic and I do not like platforms that do such things. I also find it ridiculous we have to say it’s an ad it’s not it’s not sponsored and one thing everyone should know is if your not getting paid for your review it’s not sponsored your not obligated to review it and you don’t have to disclose this to the FTC like this platform claims. Another issue I have and I know many of my pairs also have is once the products shop they start the countdown for your review which to me is ridiculous and takes away from the actual days of testing to give an honest review and if there’s a problem good luck tying to fix it! The countdown should take place once received and you confirm you got it however it’s not.

Have SkeepersCreators about 3 months, never ever saw a gift so I would have claimed. The free gifts are always out of stock. If I come early or at night, doesn’t matter, everything is gone. When I contacted the customer service, I was told that I have to be fast and keep my eyes on SkeepersCreators . I don’t get it, why the beginner have less chance to be lucky? When I asked a person who was daily posting her new claimed stuff from Octoly, what am I doing wrong, she said that I have to be patient and stick with it. For 3 months nothing, how long I have to wait? I’m about to delete SkeepersCreators , but first I wanted to let everyone know that it’s a piece of crap and don’t even bother to install SkeepersCreators. Won’t get anything.

I joined Octoly in early 2017 before they were super big and it was incredible!
Everything ran super smooth and I created content for them for over a year. As they gained popularity, they created more rules. Which, I completely understand! However, I contacted them when I was out of the country this Summer and unable to meet the deadlines for a few posts, and whoever the representative was who emailed me back was OUTRAGEOUSLY horrendous. So unprofessional and came off completely rude.
Basically, even after a beneficial partnership for over a year, they were happy to let the door hit me on the way out over my travel plans. I could easily have been granted an extension and continued to generate sponsored posts and beautiful content, but they did not even act interested in salvaging my account.
My posts have been reposted and shared by these brands that Octoly works with, and my account has literally doubled in the past year (over 40k) but unfortunately Octoly does not value their creators.
Very unfortunate.

If you aren’t an influencer, you only get two precious credits. You use up a credit when you claim a product and you get it back after you have reviewed the product. When Octoly’s site and app work it’s ok. You have to move quickly to claim item drops.

However, SkeepersCreators crashes or won’t load often, and the push notification alerts for product drops rarely work. Worst of all is their tech support. I received a product that I claimed over 6 weeks ago and I still am unable to review it and get my Octoly credit back. The item is stuck in “processing” status in my account. I filed multiple support tickets and received a canned response each time that tells me to click an option that doesn’t exist. I have even reached out to Octoly on Twitter and received no reply. So I currently have one credit that I may never get back because Octoly refuses to assist with their website/app.

I have had SkeepersCreators for a little over a year! I love anything & everything beauty! Unfortunately I had really high hopes for SkeepersCreators.. Every time I open it, there is NOTHING available. Recently anytime something becomes available (very rarely) and I push the ‘order now’ button it completely closes SkeepersCreators ... SkeepersCreators is up to date and I have even deleted it & re-download it, still does the same thing! Definitely needs to be fixed! Such a bummer. Almost pointless to keep checking as 99.9% of the time the campaigns/products are unavailable/sold out or SkeepersCreators closes anytime I click order now on the ones that are available. I understand the ambassador/influencer part of SkeepersCreators, especially because it’s requirements aren’t outrageous... But it’s not even worth the trouble it seems like. SkeepersCreators could definitely use some (A LOT) of improvements!

I work with a few companies that send products for review. So far I haven’t even been able get an item from this one. First off I’m signed up for notifications when a new product is available- I’ve gotten 1 whole notification to date even though new products are marked as sold out almost daily. IF you’re lucky enough to “get” an item before it sells out they will more than likely STILL cancel it. I get roughly 3+ products monthly from other companies usually mid to high end with values from $30-$200+ and I can’t even solidify the first product with Octoly. The products aren’t even high end enough to even bother with the headache of SkeepersCreators . I suggest you don’t waste your time here unfortunately. I have read nothing but somewhat similar reviews across the board. Stop being so exclusive when you’re not even bidding in the top dog tier.

I run an Instagram account that’s got over 100k followers, an average of a 9% engagement rate (which is very good for Instagram), and to be completely honest I thought I would be accepted. I don’t mean to sound like an entitled brat, the problem was not at all that I wasn’t accepted into SkeepersCreators . The problem was that once I wasn’t accepted, I got no help at all. I reached out multiple different ways to try and understand why I wasn’t accepted, and I never heard back. They do nothing to explain why you weren’t accepted therefore hindering you from improving your account and making any necessary changes. They say that care so much about helping influencers, but their support system is awful. They provide one way of contact (email) which I never got a response from. I just wish they would say specifically why you were denied so that you could take that and use it to make your page better and improve it.

After struggling between a constantly crashing app and a slow running webpage I finally got to sign up and register my instagram. After following the process and waiting for over a MONTH for any form of notice of confirmation I’ve received nothing. I attempted to email and ask questions to when I would know but was told the sending address didn’t exist to send my email. Horrible HORRIBLE impression of what their calling customer service. Mind you I have a very active account on instagram with nearly 13k followers and at least a hundred likes per post, so I follow the requirements but yet no contact? I’m very disappointed in this. And SkeepersCreators has no positive influence to me. If you want to struggle for no contact or update with how things are or whether you’re good enough for them I’d recommend it. Otherwise it’s a waste of time.

This company overall is the worst I’ve come across, their customer service is trash. I’ve exchanged emails with Monica Kariwala and she was so rude and unprofessional, apparently she believed I did not meet the requirements I’m unsure why since I post my own content, have 48k followers, good engagement and post well over 5 times a week. She decided I didn’t qualify and blocked my account somehow to never be able to qualify (?) I was never rude all I did was email them to let them know my account was on wait for a couple of months. Now I’m not kidding the 2 times I’ve tried to add my account in the past 2 years i automatically get told I don’t meet the requirements. Overall they’re a joke and if you’re looking for another better more professional platform I’d suggest AspireIQ, they’re amazing unlike Octoly.

Everything will always get sold out after a couple months I was added to the Influenster program I met all the requirements for posting and only after two months they removed me for it and I received an email for not following the posting requirements which is incorrect I don’t understand why they just give a random reason and I actually give me the real reason why and he said they’ll reactivate my account but it’s been two weeks so far and nothing has happened all the brands that I want to receive from always get sold out or they deny my order their customer service is horrible I’ve emailed them several times and the one time and the one time they responded they responded rudely and cold I just wish they could be better at that this is an OK app very hard to receive anything from

I would give 5 stars to Octoly itself, but SkeepersCreators is problematic, especially recently. For example, today I received a notification a product was available and I immediately clicked the notification to go to SkeepersCreators . SkeepersCreators then said “Octoly is in maintenance.” I closed it and tried again, but SkeepersCreators crashed twice. Fourth time was the charm, but when I tried to send my order, the spinning wheel just stopped and it never directed me to the confirmation page. I tried again and the product was sold out. I’m guessing all the trouble is due to high traffic at those moments, so upgrades need to be done.

I’ve had SkeepersCreators for atleast a month. The idea on how to get the product, and if you don’t leave a review you won’t get points to get more product. There are NEVER any products available I don’t understand. I’ve gotten 1 product that my color was sold out so I ordered another closest to it which ended up working for me. They need to create notifications or a time when everything will drop so we know and we’re not checking SkeepersCreators for product a million times a day. Smh

by Wow, This Is Amazing!

I’m really disappointed. A few years ago I worked with them all the time and loved their product selection. My account has only grown and SkeepersCreators selection has gone downhill. I thought it was me until I spoke to some friends and the same thing happened to them. Last year they started doing story only post option which was great for smaller items. But now it seems mostly everything is to post and not to sound rude, but I have a great engagement rate and almost 30k followers, I’m not going to post for a $6 hand sanitizer. It’s almost a slap in the face considering all the work that goes into it. I gave 3 stars because they used to be good and hope there’s potential there to get better.

SkeepersCreators keeps crashing when I open the reviewed and archive tab in the apple all. I get a spinning screen like the tab will open then the screen turns black and the whole Octoly app closes. I’ve been dealing with this for weeks now and have reached out numerous times and always get a response there is no issue to be found. I have backed away from using this platform because it’s bugs have caused me a headache. I love Octoly and Hope this gets resolved because I want to keep influencing using this platform. I only use SkeepersCreators because I don’t have access to a laptop/desktop

For what it is it's great however there are a lot of glitches. None to completely deter me from using but still annoying:

1. The notifications don't work correctly. I'll get updates/notifications 5x in a row in my phone Notification center. Some of them are incorrect. Sometimes I don't receive notifications for the specific brands that I have them turned on for.
2.There is a lag for products that go out of stock quickly. A lot of the time the product will stay up as available and then when you apply it's not available.
3. I don't know if SkeepersCreators is formatted correctly for the pro sized phones because some of the dimensions are off.

Overall I like SkeepersCreators for its uses and the team is super kind and helpful when you reach out with questions.

by Loveyahlyss

I’m so happy I’ve found SkeepersCreators!
I’ve been using it for about 2 months now and have received 9 items delivered to me. Some brands don’t care about your IG or TIKTOK follower count, typically the big brand names like Becca etc. Other tasks just require you to leave a review on the company’s website and you get accepted immediately, but most times you have to wait and get accepted by the brand to receive your free product. I now have 12k IG followers and 35k TIKTOK followers.

I signed up with Octoly in December and have been able to claim some really nice items. Like others have said, you have to get “lucky” and be on SkeepersCreators at the right time since items sell out within minutes or even seconds. For the regular account it does not matter how many followers you have. The products are “first come, first serve” and like previously stated, you’ll have to be on SkeepersCreators at the right time in order to claim the product.

by Kelsi L

I love Octoly! As long as you have a decent social media following or a blog, SkeepersCreators is perfect! The only frustration is when SkeepersCreators goes into maintenance mode when products are released because people try to snatch them up so fast (everything runs out really fast because it’s ALL good stuff, and there are SO many influencers) ... it’s definitely a saturated market but octoly is fun and I have learned about so many great brands and products through SkeepersCreators’s samplings. It’s always full sized product, too. Amazing.

by Tokiohotelgurl

I’ve been able to work with brands as a small influencer that I probably wouldn’t be able to work with just reaching out. It’s great for starting out with gifted products and build a portfolio to help start working with paid Collabs. You gotta be patient and wait for good brands to drop but it’s been a great experience. I’ve been gifted products from brands like Murad, briogeo, living proof, Sunday Riley and more. It took me some time to get accepted to SkeepersCreators but worth the wait and its now the only app I use to get gifted Collabs to help build my portfolio.

Although you don’t get paid for these posts, it’s a great way to work with big brands and get your foot in the door. Many times the brands will feature your product on their socials and you gain new followers and engagement that way. SkeepersCreators is easy to use and the customer service support team is easy + quick to contact. You have 5 coins on rotation you use in exchange for pitches and the brand has the choice to accept or decline your pitch. Once they accept you can track the shipping and it’s usually to you by a week or a week and a half. 😊

To begin, most products on here are sub par. As the company got bigger they requested more requirements for FREE reviews. Not to mention the paid opportunities now being offered are far more difficult to obtain. I requested a CHRISTMAS candle in December that came to me in FEBRUARY. Mind you the candle had Christmas decor all around it. I was still expected to post.. in February? and when I tried to contact someone for help, they offered an extension. An extension? So i could post about Christmas in May? Since I refused, I then was denied every single request after that for any products. There are many networks out there. This one is not worth the time or effort.

by Gaycodemaster

Don’t waste your time! I have had my Instagram account for a very long time and have been working with brands for a long time as well. I have almost 25 thousand followers and a VERY active account! I cannot get my account accepted after almost a year of trying! I am told that my account has unauthentic activity. I can assure you that I have no idea what this means and it’s complete bull crap! I am a part of so many other platforms that are WAY better than this one! For example, Revfluence, who actually pays your for your content if you’re good enough. I would never recommend this platform for so many reasons! I am better off reaching out to brands directly in order to collaborate with them!

I had campaign after making account. Received the product. Downloaded SkeepersCreators , reviewed the product as directed on the sponsors site. It would not let me login on there app, no matter what. Tried resetting password, etc. Contacted there customer service team who threatened to suspend my account because my review days we’re ticking. I told them my issue, they were no help. They decided to give me another week t review, still did not let me login. This went on . Finally I told Sephora to remove my review, since octoly was going to suspend my account anyway. I even told octoly I was removing it. They granted another week. Still same can’t login. Sephora did remove my review and octoly is still hassling me.

I had an account with octoly for years and out of no where I reposted 2-3 photos that weren’t mine from tumblr and they deactivated my account. Every time I’ve emailed them asking why my account got deactivated they would send me a “it could be this” or “it could be that” but refused to tell me the problem. Finally I realized it was because of some stupid reposts I had on my account and after I deleted them since I wasn’t the original owner of the photos I emailed them asking if they could reactivate my account and now they are ignoring my emails. I was so loyal to them for years and they just deactivated me like I was nothing.

by Calimama4babybears

I’ve been with Octoly for a couple of years. There have been a couple of times SkeepersCreators has glitched or things I’ve posted in my stories don’t show up as an option in SkeepersCreators . I have sent links and screenshots to Octoly but they still took points away from me and access to certain features. Seeing as I did my part, posted and shared (sometimes multiple times of the same product at octoly’s request, even though it would be weird to my viewers to be posting the exact same thing repeatedly) and my points were still taken away makes the platform hard to trust. I would think looking back at years of reviews I have done, they would be willing to look into it or have a conversation before simply taking points and access away.

Octoly has been fun to use but their product selection is poor IMO. I have 10k+ followers with a 20% engagement rate and most of the brands available to me are drugstore brands. Even after ordering products & posting - the selection doesn’t update itself or improve. Quite disappointed. I waited a long time to join octoly and was really looking forward to reviewing some diptyque, herbivore, AMOREPACIFIC, etc (luxury brands) but most of what I’ve seen has been BIORE pore strips, sheet masks, etc. I’d say their brand selection is forgettable & cheap - not to mention very unphotogenic. As a photographer & content creator I rely on decent packaging to capture the attention of my audience. While packaging isn’t all that matters, it’s the first thing people see, so it should at least be “ok”. Some of the ugliest packaging I’ve ever seen has been on octoly and I’m disappointed. The concept of SkeepersCreators is brilliant, but I wish they were more careful when selecting brands and products. :/ I’m not using this service very much right now but I would have been on SkeepersCreators daily had they offered a better product selection. I hope they improve because I’d love to make octoly work for me!

by MissJazzie05

Very sad to say that I’ve been using SkeepersCreators for 3 months now and there are lots of bugs that they never fix. Right now octoly has taken all of my points away because somehow their system says I have deleted all of the pictures that had a review on them, now that not being true, I’ve sent 7+ emails asking them to look into it and they simply don’t care. I’m not sure where this will go but I’ll definitely update my review if they fix this problem!

by Fjtgvj

Because of Octoly I got to test out and review over 50+ luxury beauty products since I joined last year and work with various brands! It’s super easy to use and after you apply for a product you want to receive/ create content for, it’s up to the brands to accept your offer or not. So keep a professional looking social media platform with decent engagement so that brands would want to work with you :) Overall, I highly recommend!

by Bq204959696

The brands decide who they want to extend products to, not so much Octoly.
I’ve produced content for high end brands (amorepacific, YSL, etc) and it is my perception that they don’t want to give you hundreds of dollars worth of product just for the photos of their packaging (that they already own an abundance of, well-lit and professionally taken).
Have a high end *personal* brand if you want to work with high end brands. YOU have to be able to connect with and appeal to their target audience.
