Tier I : Influencers.
PAID INFLUENCERS
Paid Influencers are Contract Based. Each contract will be unique and specific to the influencer in question. If you are interested in being an influencer, after filling out our inquiry form you will be contacted for additional information.
Some things we will ask for, for example:
What do you do, and what platform(s) do you do it on?
A link to your accounts / example content / following base.
Have you ever been an influencer for a company before?
What are your general expectations compensation-wise?
Paid Influencers will already need to possess some type of following. Please do not apply for this Street Team level unless you are qualified and genuinely interested in creating a contract with us.
SPONSORED INFLUENCERS
Sponsored influencers are similar to Paid Influencers, however you do not need to necessarily have a huge following. This is an option for smaller influencers. Instead of being paid in cash you can earn free products, company gift card/credits, etc. This will also generate a discount code for your followers to use. For each use of your discount code you will earn credit on your own account for future purchases.
This tier is something that you are welcome to apply for, however it can also be earned via Tier IV : Virtual Helpers // Volunteer Creators as well if you become a Trusted Creator. You are more likely to be accepted into this tier via working your way up, but if you are an influencer that doesn’t have the following for the paid tier this is a great way to get started, too!
Tier II : Con Staff : Setup/Takedown
These Street Team members will be trusted to help the Pawstar Team with Setup/Takedown at Conventions! Setup is generally done on Thursday prior to the Convention. Takedown is on Sunday as soon as the Dealer’s Hall closes. Please keep in mind if this is something you sign up for, we are trusting you to be there! If for any reason this changes, please notify us ASAP.
**We will approve/deny your volunteering in advance. First come/first serve. Acceptance is not guaranteed and some smaller setups won’t require additional help.
This does not include accommodations, transportation or convention badges unless specified. Please do not volunteer for conventions you are not attending.

Tier IV : Digital Critters
Virtual Helpers will be the most active part of the Street Team because this offers the most flexibility in how many people we are able to accept assistance from!
ROLES:
Pawstar Hype Team!
This will be the main role of virtual helpers. This is for people just interested in helping out by being active in the discord, commenting and engaging in things on social media, etc. Nothing extra is required or expected. Just be engaging, be a fan, be you!
Online Event Helpers!
This is earned, if interested. If you’ve been an active Street Team member and are interested in helping in additional ways you can request to advance to an Online Event Helper! This can be things like assisting with Discord/Twitch events etc. Eventually this could lead to a moderator role for said Platforms. Event helpers will be compensated with Loyalty Paw Points credited to their Pawstar.com account. Points will be evaluated per event and when you sign up/assist in events you will know the value ahead of time. Some tasks will be worth more than others.
Volunteer Creators!
For members interested in helping content-wise on a volunteer/rewards basis. This is something that you will need to be accepted into. You do not need a following for this. If you want to stream content to the Pawstar Twitch account, Create online content for us to use, etc.
Although this is for fun; if you consistently are creating content, being a valuable and trustworthy member, etc. The team may approach you to essentially be “upgraded” to Tier I: Influencers , II. Sponsored Influencers.
