Ad creatives
Additional branding guidelines you are to use when linking to your publication on Molo9™ can be found here.
You may use your own creatives when developing organic content to promote your publication, but be prepared to share those creatives with the Molo9™ team when asked to do so.
If you are unsure if a creative asset will meet our brand guidelines send a copy of the creative asset to StrategicPartners@Molo9.group for verification prior to using the creative asset.
Policies that don’t fit into the other buckets
- Survey Participation: We would encourage you to participate in any Content Creator-specific NPS surveys, industry surveys, marketing surveys, etc.
- Sharing Placements: When requested, you’ll share the places you’ve posted links to your publications. This includes, but is not limited to, links, screenshots, and email sends. Failure to share all of the places and ways in which you are promoting your Molo9™ publication can result in your termination from the content creator program. For this reason, we suggest keeping a record of these in a Google Sheet, which makes it easy to share with our team.
What to call yourself
As we have multiple ways to partner with Molo9™ and several ways to reference those relationships, here are some guidelines around what you can and cannot call yourself within the content creator program.

Attribution & Limitations
You are permitted to place links, banners, and other Molo9™ centric graphics on your site, in your emails, on social media or in other communications.
For a Molo9™ Publication to be eligible to earn a commission, our data infrastructure must register user engagement with the publication.
Our automated system cannot track and compensate you for engagement that is not completed on Molo9.com. To permit accurate tracking, reporting, and commission accrual, our system provides us with user engagement on specific publications in order to algorithmically determine appropriate payouts at the end of each month.
We will only pay commissions on publications for which engagement is automatically tracked and reported by our systems. We will not pay commissions if someone says they engaged with a publication if it was not tracked by our system. We can only pay commissions on publications automatically tracked by our systems.
We reserve the right to disqualify commissions earned through fraudulent, illegal, overly aggressive or questionable sales or marketing methods.
Payments
Payments only begin once you’ve earned more than $25 in commissions. If your content creator account never crosses the $25 threshold, your commissions will not be realized or paid. We are only responsible for paying accounts that have crossed the $25 threshold.
You will receive a commission based on the engagement with your approved content. Once your account accumulates $25 in credit, we will schedule your next payout. Payouts are initiated on the 15th of each month.
You are not credited for publications that do not meet the community engagement KPIs.
Additional Terms & Conditions:
