A link in bio is not a business. Your work is. Aethynex gives you a verified professional portfolio where brands find your real stats, see your rates, and pay to pitch you. No DMs. No free product offers. Real business, handled the right way. Free for creators. Always.
Every professional charges for their time. Lawyers charge to consult. Designers charge for discovery. Creators have always given their attention away for free. Aethynex changes that. Every Definitive Response earns a $4.00 review fee, whether you take the deal or not. You are not being paid to say yes. You are being paid because your judgment has value.
Yes. Free to deploy a portfolio, free to receive pitches, free to respond, free forever. Aethynex earns from the $12.99 brand pays per pitch. Your cost is zero.
No. Accept what fits, decline everything else. Both earn the same $4.00 review fee. The only thing you cannot do is ignore a pitch entirely. Not responding costs you nothing financially but it drops your RRI score and the brand gets their bond back.
Connect a bank account or debit card via Stripe Connect in your dashboard. Review fees are paid out within 1 to 3 business days after you submit a Definitive Response. No threshold, every $4 goes out individually.
For platforms with an official API, stats are pulled directly and refresh every 24 hours. Brands see your numbers before committing the bond, so the pitches you receive are already calibrated to your actual audience. Platforms without an official API let you enter stats manually, clearly marked on your portfolio.
Yes. Set a minimum in your portfolio settings. This is visible to brands before they pay the bond. Any brand who pitches you has already seen your minimum and paid to reach you anyway, which means they are at least taking it seriously.
Yes, directly. Your RRI score is the primary signal the directory uses to rank your portfolio in brand search results. Every Definitive Response you give, whether an accept or a decline, builds your score over time. The score rewards creators who are consistent, not just the ones with the biggest audiences. You don't have to say yes to everything. You just have to respond.
Yes. Your rate card lets you set per-format pricing across every content type you offer: dedicated video, UGC package, story series, live stream, and more. Every rate you publish is visible to brands before they commit the bond, so the pitches you receive should already be calibrated to what you charge. If a pitch comes in under your stated minimum, you can decline immediately and the protocol closes cleanly.
Before closing your account, respond to any pitches still inside their 72-hour window so you're paid for every response you've earned. Any pitch left unanswered at the time of closure is treated as a non-response: the brand's bond is returned in full and no review fee is issued. Once the account is closed, earnings from unanswered pitches can't be retrieved.
Deploy your portfolio in 10 minutes. Put the link wherever brands find you. From this point, every inbound pitch comes with a financial commitment attached. That is what a real business looks like.
