# Posting drops and tagging pieces

> Become a muse, post your outfits, and tag the pieces you're wearing.

As a [muse](https://docs.outfiqe.com/glossary.md#muse), you share photos of your outfits and tag the Outfiqe pieces you're wearing. On Outfiqe, a look you post is called a [drop](https://docs.outfiqe.com/glossary.md#drop). Shoppers tap your tags to go straight to the pieces, and when they buy, you earn.

This guide covers becoming a muse, posting a drop, tagging pieces, and what happens to your tags after you post.

## Become a muse

Every muse starts with a normal Outfiqe account.

**1. Sign in**

Create an account or sign in. See [account flow](https://docs.outfiqe.com/account-flow.md) if you're new.

**2. Apply**

Open your dashboard, or tap the **+** button in Explore. You'll see **Become a muse**. Choose **Apply to become a muse**.

**3. Wait for our email**

You'll see "Application submitted — we'll email you once it's reviewed." While you wait, your dashboard shows **Application under review**, and you can shop as normal.

When you're approved, we email you and send a welcome notification. Your muse profile goes public, and your dashboard gets the muse pages.

The first time you open your muse dashboard, a short tour shows you around. Replay it any time with **Take the tour** on your **Overview**.

## Your muse dashboard

| Page | What it's for |
| - | - |
| **Overview** | Your earnings so far, followers, drops and cheriqs, and your latest sales. |
| **Profile** | Your public profile and all your drops. |
| **Share** | Links to your profile and to products, for posting anywhere. |
| **Earnings** | Every sale you brought in and what you earned. |
| **Withdraw** | Your bank accounts and withdrawals. |

## Post a drop

**1. Start a new drop**

Tap the **+** button, labelled **Add a drop**, in Explore. A window called **New drop** opens.

**2. Choose a layout**

Under **Layout**, pick **Portrait**, **Square** or **Tall**. Every photo in the drop uses this shape. To change it after adding photos, remove the photos first.

**3. Add your photos**

Add up to 6 photos. Each one opens in a cropper, so you can choose exactly what's in the frame.

**4. Write a caption**

Under **Caption**, say something about the outfit: where you wore it, how it fits, what you'd pair it with. It's optional, but captions help shoppers.

**5. Tag your pieces**

Choose **Tag a product**, search for each Outfiqe product you're wearing, and select it. For each one, type the size you're wearing in **Size (e.g. M)**. See "Tagging tips" below.

**6. Post it**

Choose **Drop look**. You'll see "Look dropped", and your drop goes live in Explore and on your profile.

### Tagging tips

* **Tag only what's in the photo.** Brands check that the product you tag really is the one you're wearing. Tags for something else get declined.
* **Always add the size you're wearing.** Shoppers use it to judge the fit, and it's required.
* **You can tag several pieces in one drop.** The picker shows how many you've selected and the most you can add.
* **You can only tag products sold on Outfiqe.** If a piece isn't on Outfiqe, you can still wear it in the photo, you just can't tag it.

## What happens to your tags

Your drop is live straight away. Each tag inside it waits for the brand that makes that product, and shows one of these:

| Tag status | What it means |
| - | - |
| **In review** | The brand hasn't decided yet. The tag stays hidden on your drop until they approve it. |
| **Live** | The brand approved it. Shoppers can tap it, and your drop also appears on that product's page. |
| **Declined** | The brand said no. You'll see why. |

Some tags go live without waiting. That happens when a brand has marked you as a [trusted muse](https://docs.outfiqe.com/glossary.md#trusted-muse), when the brand lets every muse tag freely, or when you bought that product on Outfiqe and the brand approves buyers automatically. If a brand doesn't decide within 7 days, the tag goes live on its own.

### When a tag is declined

The reason shows on the tag. It's one of these:

* The brand says this isn't one of their products
* The brand flagged this as a possible counterfeit
* The brand says the look misrepresents the product
* The tag breaks the brand's tagging policy
* The brand declined this tag

The brand may add a note telling you what to change. If you've fixed the problem, for example by retagging the right product, open the drop to edit it and choose **Request again** on the tag, if it's offered.

## Edit or delete a drop

On your profile, open the menu on any of your drops:

* **Edit** opens **Edit drop**, where you can change the photos, caption and tags.
* **Delete** removes the drop.

## Common questions

> [accordion] Do I need lots of followers to apply?
>
> No. We look for people with a good eye who enjoy putting outfits together, not follower counts.

> [accordion] Do I have to buy the pieces I tag?
>
> You need to be wearing them. Some brands approve tags automatically if you bought the piece on Outfiqe, so buying through Outfiqe can make your tags go live faster.

> [accordion] Why can't shoppers see a tag on my drop?
>
> It's probably **In review**. Tags stay hidden until the brand approves them.
