What you get

Pay, research nobody else has, and a team that wants your channel to grow. The main point is your name, not ours.

  • $1,000

    Paid every month

    A monthly stipend for about 10 hours a week, on your own schedule.

  • 40%

    Of every sale you drive

    Your own code from day one, on top of the stipend. About $32 on each Superpower Profile.

  • $250

    A bonus for big posts

    $250 when a post about Pigment passes 250,000 views, $500 at a million, up to $1,000 a month.

  • Our research

    A monthly pack of findings from Pigment's own data, made for you to build posts on.

  • Our team

    A weekly working session, and a direct line to our founder, Kenneth, in between.

  • A real launch

    Both Pigment products free, a read of your results with us, and your launch shared on our channels.

Access to our data, done right

You get findings nobody else can post: what we see across the people who take Pigment. You never see a single person.

The kind of finding you'd get

How people in teaching jobs and people in sales jobs differ on one trait, shown as a chart you can post, with the group size on it.

  • Groups only.Every number comes from at least 30 people.

  • Nobody named.No one's answers, names, emails or employers. No database access.

  • Checked together.We check every Pigment number with you before it goes up, within one working day.

  • First to post.New findings stay private until we release them, and you get them first.

What we ask

Keep showing up, in your own voice. We send ideas and data, never lines you have to read.

  • Three posts a week

    On your own channels, following the monthly brief we agree on. At least one a week is about Pigment: its data, the product, or what it showed you.

  • One session a week

    45 minutes with our team, plus one piece a month we make together.

  • Say it's paid

    Every post about Pigment says so: #ad and the platform's paid-partnership label.

  • Check the numbers with us

    Any Pigment number goes past us before it goes up. Everything else is your call.

Your first two weeks

A launch built around you, so your first posts land with a plan and a push behind them.

  1. Week one

    Find your lane

    • Take both Pigment products and read your results with us.
    • An hour with Kenneth to pick the one angle on work you'll own.
    • Your first research pack arrives.
  2. Week two

    Launch

    • Plan your first 30 days with the team.
    • Your launch post goes up, and we share it on Instagram, LinkedIn and our newsletter.
    • We look at what landed, together.
  3. Weeks three to twelve

    Build

    • A new research pack every month.
    • The weekly session keeps going.
    • A check-in at week six, and a talk about renewing at week twelve.

How we choose

We care more about how you make things than how many people follow you. Any size can apply.

  1. By Oct 23

    Apply

    About five minutes. Your links, your best post, and the story about work you want to tell.

  2. Within a week

    A short task

    We send you one Pigment finding. You send back three post ideas built on it. About 30 minutes.

  3. Week of Oct 26

    A call

    30 minutes with Kenneth, our founder.

  4. Nov 2

    You start

    A short contractor agreement, then your first week.

Apply for a seat
Do I need a big following?

Audience size is the smallest part of how we score. We'd rather back a sharp voice with 3,000 followers than a loud one with 300,000.

Where do I need to live?

Anywhere. It's remote. Your posts should be in English.

Is this a job?

It's a paid contract. You set your own hours, about 10 a week, and we pay you monthly.

Can I work with other brands?

Yes. We only ask that you don't promote a competing career product during your residency.

Who owns what I make?

You do. We can share it on our channels with credit, and run it as an ad under your name during your residency and for six months after.

What happens after three months?

If it's working for both of us, we renew once. Either way, you keep your 40% code and a reference from us.

Does any big post earn the bonus?

It has to be about Pigment and follow the brief. A post that blows up on something else is great for you, just not for the bonus.

Apply for a seat

Two seats. We read every application and reply to everyone by Friday, Oct 30.
