Creator Guide

Progress & Leaderboard

Level up by earning XP for everyday actions, climb through five tiers from Starter to Mythic, unlock perks and badges, and see how you rank against other creators.

Your Progress

Progress (/creator/progress) tracks a separate gamification system from your Zylolo plan — every creator, free or Pro, earns XP and levels up by being active on the platform.

At the top, your current tier badge and "Level [X]" are shown alongside "[total] XP total" and, if you've logged in on consecutive days, a "[X]-day login streak" pill. A progress bar shows how much XP you've earned toward the next level — "[earned] XP this level / [needed] XP needed for Lv.[next]" and "[X]% to next level" — plus a contextual hint for your very next milestone, such as:

"Apply to your first campaign to earn 50 XP"
"Complete a contract to earn 200 XP"
"Get 3 accepted applications for a bonus"
"Almost there — finish any active quest to level up"
"Keep collaborating to earn XP and level up"

Below that, a stats row shows your totals: Applied, Accepted, Completed, and Avg Fit.

Tiers & Perks

A horizontal roadmap shows all five tiers and the level you need to reach each one:

Starter — Level 1+
Rising Pro — Level 3+
Elite — Level 6+
Legend — Level 10+
Mythic — Level 15+

Your current tier is highlighted; tiers you've passed show a filled line and tiers ahead show an empty line.

The Your Perks card lists what your current tier unlocks (e.g. "Priority brand visibility", "Higher rate negotiations", "Dedicated support") and tells you what's next — "Level up to unlock better perks. Next tier at Level [X] ([next tier])." At Mythic, the highest tier, this simply reads "max tier reached!"

This is not the same as your "rank" The Starter → Rising Pro → Elite → Legend → Mythic tiers here are based purely on XP and level — they're about your activity and reliability on Zylolo. They're separate from the Nano/Micro/Macro/Mega follower-size tiers brands see, and from any campaign-specific "rank" requirements (like "Locked (Rank Vanguard+)" on a campaign card).

Quests & Badges

Active Quests

Each quest shows its title, a "+[X] XP" reward, a progress bar, a "[progress]/[target]" counter, and a link to act on it (e.g. View Campaigns).

Badges

A grid of achievement badges (e.g. "First Campaign", "Century Club", "Engagement Master"). Unlocked badges display normally; locked badges are grayed out with a lock overlay — hover either to see "[badge] — Unlocked" or "[badge] — Locked".

XP History

A chronological log of every XP-earning event — completing your profile, linking a channel, submitting an application, getting accepted, or completing a contract — each showing an icon, description, date, and "+[X] XP". If you're just getting started: "No XP events yet — Apply to campaigns, complete contracts, and link your channels to start earning XP."

Leaderboard

Leaderboard (/creator/leaderboard) — "Top creators ranked by XP on Zylolo" — has a My Progress button back to your own page, and three time-frame tabs: All-time (default), Monthly, and Weekly.

The top 3 creators get a podium display (gold/silver/bronze), each showing their avatar, rank, name, XP, and tier. Below that, the full table lists Rank, Creator (with a "Verified by Zylolo" star icon if applicable), Level, Tier, XP, and login Streak for everyone else, sorted by XP.

If nobody has earned XP yet: "No rankings yet — Be the first to earn XP and claim the top spot!"

Why XP and tiers matter Beyond bragging rights, your tier and Fit/Trust scores (shown on Analytics) factor into how often you're surfaced to brands and which campaigns you're eligible for — staying active (applying, delivering on time, connecting channels) compounds into more visibility over time.
