Streamers and content creators who promote the game and have fans can accept rewards. To do this, you need to register in the support program and get the Fortnight author tag.
What is the Fortnite Creator Support Program and why you need it
The Support Project allows creators to make money by promoting Fortnite. They are rewarded when their supporters spend V-Bucks in-game or buy items from the Epic Games Store.
As practice shows, players want to support authors. And those, for their part, willingly provide fans with popularity. Therefore, a special program of rewards for such actions was developed.
Users choose to support any author and can change it if they wish.
Support lasts 14 days, after which it ends automatically. The player can choose this author again, support another or refuse to participate in the program, incl. before the end of this period.
In order to receive a reward, a player must submit a request, be verified, and be approved. Then the author will receive 5 US dollars or a similar amount in local currency according to the exchange rate. The amount is credited for every 10 thousand V-bucks that his supporters spent. The project gives a reward regardless of whether the players bought them for money or received them for free.
An Approved Creator shares referral links with their nickname to earn a percentage when supporters buy games from the Epic Games Store. The reward is from 5% and is assigned for each gamer individually.
Who can participate in the support program
The program can be attended by users who actively broadcast and create videos, tell stories, draw game situations and characters, compose and perform music, coordinate community work and arrange role-playing games. The key is for streamers and content creators to produce quality content and want to share it with other gamers.
Players must have at least 1000 subscribers in at least 1 major social network. It is important to adhere to the Creator Code of Conduct and the Partner Agreement and be able to receive payment in the forms Epic Games produces.
Who cannot participate in the program
Players who violate US law, the Fortnite Partner Agreement, or the Fortnite End User License Agreement will not be able to register with the project. Under the ban, participants who promote gambling engage in spam.
Players who are noticed in negative behavior and insulting other participants, in discrimination, violation of laws and fraud, distribution of pornography cannot enter the program.
What needs to be done to accept the application
To apply and register for the program, please log into the game account. Tell us about your channels, blogs, platforms and accept the terms.
Check if you qualify for participation.
It is important for the approval of the application that each channel belongs to the player who is requesting to participate in the program. To verify this data, copy the verification code and paste it in the indicated location:
- YouTube – at the bottom of the About the Channel page;
- Twitter / Instagram / Facebook / VKontakte – at the bottom of the profile information page;
- Twitch – under the broadcast screen, in the “Epic Author Code” field;
- Mixer – at the bottom of the public channel description.
After that, in the email, indicate the link to the selected channel. Submit your message via the mail listed on the official Epic Games website. After verification and a positive result, an email notification will be sent.
Once an author is accepted, they will start receiving payments for followers’ purchases. The player will be able to share links and tags.
What income will depend on
An official author’s income is based on the number of supporters who support him at Fortnite. For example, if fans spend 100K V-Bucks in a game, the player will receive $ 50. This profit is calculated from any V-Bucks that are bought with money or received for free for events and competitions during the game.
If supporters use the referral links and make $ 100 purchases from the Epic Games Store, the author will earn $ 5 at the standard rate of 5%.
How to properly communicate your participation in the author support program
Use clear tags, links and descriptions to promote your program. They must be affiliated with Epic Games or Fortnite. Use hashtags:
- #ad;
- #sponsored;
- #EpicPartner;
- #EpicAmbassador;
- #FortnitePartner;
- #FortniteAmbassador.
In addition, a member may use a verbal or written statement stating that when they use a code or link on the Epic Games Store, they receive money from fan purchases.
Sample written statement
The participant can create a written statement with the following text:
“When you click on this link, I get a percentage of the sale” or “Sponsored Link”.
The statement should be prominently displayed in every post or piece of content, not just in the header or profile description. Check that it can be found easily. And you don’t have to click or scroll to find the application. On social networks, it is placed in the first 2 lines of each post or attached to all Stories.
Receiving payment
The remuneration is transferred 45 days after the end of the month. For example, payments for March will arrive on May 15th. The terms may vary depending on the conditions of the payment system or the bank through which the author receives the money. You can withdraw funds through the PayPal payment system, to a bank card or online wallet. In the process of transferring payments, failures are possible.
Potential failures and difficulties
When submitting an application or withdrawing funds, the author may encounter the following difficulties:
- applications are processed for a long time due to the large number of received requests;
- money is transferred with a delay due to the volume of payments and the specifics of the payment system.
In such cases, you need to wait or contact technical support. Sometimes authors are faced with the fact that they were denied approval of the request. In this case, you need to check if the player meets the requirements of the program participant.
In addition, channel ownership may be incorrectly confirmed. It is not enough just to send a screenshot. For confirmation, you need to enter a password in the specified place on the resource page. And then send a link to the used channel.
Periodically, applications are accepted and the program stops working. This is due to the fact that the system is being finalized and improved. At the same time, the volume of applications and the number of authors are only increasing. Requests are processed on a first-come, first-served basis, and those who sent it first are given priority.
