Questions

Before you join

What does S4S mean on Instagram?

S4S means shoutout for shoutout: two creators agree to promote each other. Agree the account to mention, the content format, the timing and how each person will confirm delivery.

How does a PodSwap shoutout exchange work?

Find a relevant creator, send a proposal and agree the deliverables. Keep the discussion and confirmation attached to the collaboration order so both sides can track completion.

Do I need to give PodSwap my social account password?

No. Connect your public handle and follow the ownership verification steps. Every engagement is performed by a person, by hand.

Does this guarantee growth?

No. PodSwap organises participation and provides tools to inform your choices. It cannot guarantee followers, reach, virality or a social platform’s decisions.

Where can I find exact instructions?

Follow the task instructions in your account and visit the help centre for setup and service guides.
