XP & Trust Score
EZTalent has an XP (experience points) system that tracks how much you've set up and engaged with the platform. As you complete key actions, you earn XP that contributes to your Trust Score - a 0-5 star rating visible to brands.
If you reach 200 XP and have signed the Influencer Agreement, your application is automatically approved - no need to wait for manual review. This is the fastest way to get started.
How to Earn XP
There are 11 actions that award XP. Each action can only be completed once - you won't get duplicate XP for doing the same thing twice.

If you completed an action before the XP system was added, don't worry - the system automatically detects completed actions and awards XP retroactively the next time you visit your dashboard.
Trust Score
Your Trust Score is a 0-5 star rating calculated from your total XP. Brands can see your Trust Score when browsing influencers, so a higher score makes you more attractive for campaigns.
| Stars | XP Required | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| 0 stars | 0 - 49 XP | Just getting started |
| 1 star | 50 - 199 XP | Account basics done (email verified, etc.) |
| 2 stars | 200 - 399 XP | Profile complete, agreement signed |
| 3 stars | 400 - 599 XP | Actively engaged, Stripe connected |
| 4 stars | 600 - 799 XP | Experienced platform user |
| 5 stars | 800+ XP | Fully trusted, all actions completed |
The Fast Track to Approval
Want to get approved as fast as possible? Here's the quickest path to 200 XP and auto-approval:
- Verify your email (50 XP)
- Upload a profile photo (25 XP)
- Add a social handle (25 XP)
- Complete your profile (100 XP) - fill out bio, categories, and at least one social handle
That gets you to 200 XP. Now sign the Influencer Agreement (which also gives you 75 XP), and your application will be automatically approved. The whole process takes about 10 minutes.
Auto-approval requires both 200 XP and a signed Influencer Agreement. If you hit 200 XP but haven't signed the agreement, you'll need to sign it before the auto-approval kicks in.
Common Questions
Where can I see my XP?
Your XP progress and Trust Score are visible in your dashboard. You'll see a breakdown of which actions you've completed and which ones are still available.
Can I lose XP?
No. Once earned, XP is permanent. Your score can only go up.
Does XP affect anything besides Trust Score?
The main benefit is auto-approval at 200 XP. Beyond that, your Trust Score is visible to brands and helps them decide who to work with. Higher trust = more campaign offers.
