How to Verify Your Account on Ainfluencer as an Influencer?
Verification proves the social account you are adding really belongs to you. How you do it depends on the platform, and Instagram works differently from the other two.
Please ignore the bio
You do not put the code in your Instagram bio. That method has been switched off. Some older screens and articles still mention it. The current method is a direct message.
Instagram: send us the code in a DM
1
In the app, choose Instagram and type your username.
2
The app shows a 6 digit code in the form ain-123456.
3
Tap Open Instagram and Follow + DM. It copies the code and opens a message to @ainfluencer.official.
4
Follow the account and send the code as its own message, with no other text.
5
Come back and tap Confirm you did it.
Send it from the account you are connecting, not another profile.
Use the code shown right now. Re-entering your username generates a new code and the old one stops working.
You will get a reply in the DM confirming we received it.
TikTok and YouTube: just sign in
| Platform | What happens |
|---|---|
| TikTok | You approve access in the TikTok app. No code and no message needed |
| YouTube | You sign in with Google and pick the channel. Each channel becomes its own Ainfluencer account |
Good to know
After the TikTok media kit you may see a Prove it’s you screen asking you to message @ainfluencer2024. Your account is already connected at that point. That screen is a reminder to follow us, not another verification step.
If the code is not found
Send it as a separate message with nothing else in it. Extra words are the most common reason it is missed.
Check you sent it from the right account.
Use the newest code.
After two failed checks the app sends your account for manual review automatically, which is normal and not a problem.
Manual review
If your account goes to manual review you will see Pending Verification. A member of our team looks at it and you are told by email and push. The app says up to 24 hours; that is our aim rather than a guaranteed timer.
Important
After 5 rejected verification requests you cannot submit another for 7 days. If a request is rejected, read the reasons and fix them before resubmitting rather than trying again straight away.
Where you are in the process
Pending Verification
We could not confirm ownership automatically. An admin is reviewing it
Draft
Connected, but your media kit is not finished yet
Pending Admin Approval
Media kit done, waiting for the quality review
Active
Approved. You can send offers
Verification Rejected
The review was rejected. You can resubmit
Why this helps you
Verification is why brands trust the marketplace enough to put money in escrow before you have made anything. The few minutes it takes is what separates this from a cold DM, and it only has to happen once per account.
