What is Flick now?
Okay, first things first, what is Flick? Flick is an Instagram Marketing Platform that helps marketers, businesses, and creators save time and improve their results on Instagram.
Currently, our suite of tools focuses on three key areas:
- Hashtags (Find, Manage, Search, Analytics)
- Analytics (Account, Content, Audience, Profile)
- Scheduling (Automatic posting, Planning, Feed Preview)
When youâre talking with your audience about Flick, the best thing to remember is that they should use all three areas of the platform! Why? Because itâll help you increase your earnings (which is what you really want, right?). Typically, those who use ALL areas of our product continue to use our product longer. That means more revenue for you without putting in any additional work. Win-win.
What new features are coming to Flick?
Weâre excited to say that Instagram isnât going to be the only platform youâll be able to gather data on inside Flick! Weâre currently working on introducing new social options to Flick. This means youâll not only be able to schedule content on Facebook and TikTok, but soon youâll be able to schedule content to LinkedIn, Pinterest, and more. Itâs good to keep your audience in the loop with updates, as with every new feature comes more value for them.

How do Commissions Work?
Once someone whoâs visited Flick via your link becomes a paying customer, you will be owed 20% of the revenue generated. Depending on the plan chosen, this will renew either monthly or yearly, and you will continue to earn 20% of the revenue generated.
How do Payouts work?
FirstPromoter takes the same popular approach as affiliate networks, resellers and payment providers take with their payouts â generating a payout for a specific interval and making the actual payment later. Flick has a net 30-day payment term. This window of 30 days is used to cover the scenario where affiliated customers initiate a chargeback or refund. On the first day of each month, all unpaid approved commissions generated are summed up and added as a âPending payout.â For example, if thereâs no minimum payout set, all pending payouts created on the 1st of February represent all approved and unpaid commissions generated during January. If there is a minimum payout on the campaign, the payout is generated only if the unpaid balance exceeds the minimum payout on the 1st of the month.
