NewWave – Go Viral is available through TestFlight while it’s in beta. Once you’re in, you sign in with the same NewWave account you use on the web — there’s nothing separate to set up.

Signing up
You can create your account several ways:- Sign in with Apple — fastest on iOS, and the one method that’s mobile-only (the website doesn’t offer it).
- Email and password
- Phone number — you’ll get a one-time code by SMS to confirm it.
Signing up in the app always creates a creator account. Brands manage their workspace, billing, and campaigns on the web.
Onboarding
After you sign up, the app walks you through a short onboarding wizard so brands can match you to the right campaigns. You’ll add your name and location, optionally verify your phone, connect your social handles, and tell NewWave a bit about the content you make — your topics, styles, weekly availability, and a short bio. You can also add sample work from your portfolio. To finish, connect your socials or add at least some sample work so brands have something to go on.In the app, you enter your TikTok and Instagram handles. Facebook and YouTube are handled per campaign — when a campaign accepts those platforms, you connect the matching handle inside that campaign’s workspace.
Browsing the marketplace
The Marketplace tab lists open campaigns you can join. Each card shows the brand, the platforms it runs on, an estimated monthly pay, how many days are left, and how many creators have applied. You can search by title or brand and filter by platform. The For You view orders campaigns by how well they seem to fit you; on mobile this is an approximate ordering, not a percentage score.Applying and signing the contract
Tap a campaign to see the full brief, payout structure, and which platforms it posts to.Apply or accept
Tap Apply to request to join. If a brand invited you, you’ll see Accept Invitation instead. Private campaigns ask for an access code.
Wait for approval
Your status moves to Applied while the brand reviews you. Some campaigns approve automatically.
E-sign the contract
Once you’re Approved, read the contract, enter your legal name, agree, and sign. It becomes tamper-proof once signed and is available as a PDF afterward.
Submitting content
Inside a campaign workspace, your Next up queue tells you what to do next. To submit, you upload content right from your phone:- Video — a single video file, recorded vertically (9:16) for best results.
- Slideshow — an ordered set of images that posts as a TikTok photo post or Instagram carousel. You can reorder them before submitting.
Some campaigns are auto-tracked — they detect and credit your native posts for you, with no manual upload. Those show a “no upload needed” banner and hide the submit button.
Posting and linking your published content
Once a submission is approved, you post it and tell NewWave where it lives so it can start tracking views. The primary way is to pick the matching post from your synced library in the app; some brands also let you paste the URL directly. NewWave also looks for your post automatically. When every required platform is linked, the submission flips to Published and tracking begins.Tracking earnings and getting paid
Your earnings update right in the app as views come in.Accruing
A video is still inside its view-accumulation window (14 days by default). The amount is a live estimate, shown with a
~, that grows as views come in.Settled
The window closed, the amount locked in, and the payout was credited. Real money, no longer an estimate.
Connecting Stripe and withdrawing
To get paid, you connect a Stripe account and finish its identity verification (KYC) once — withdrawals stay locked until that’s done. On iOS, the Stripe setup opens in a secure in-app browser and returns you to the app when you’re finished. Once you have a settled, available balance, you can withdraw two ways:- Standard — free, arrives in about 2–3 business days to your bank.
- Instant — arrives in about 30 minutes to an eligible debit card, for a small fee (~2%). Instant is only available when you have a debit card attached.
Messaging and notifications
Each campaign has its own chat, so you can talk to the brand in context, and you’ll see NewWave Support there too. The Messages tab keeps your conversations in one place. A notifications area surfaces what needs you — new approvals, revision requests, payouts, and messages.Push notifications are best-effort. The reliable way to stay on top of things is to open the app and check your Messages and notifications; treat any push you get as a bonus, not a guarantee.
