Brand Setup & Blogger Hub

Register your Second Life brand on AvatarShot, get it verified, and start working with bloggers who create content for you.

Create Your Brand

1. Go to avatarshot.com/brands/create
2. Fill in your brand name, description, logo, and SLURL
3. Submit — your Brand page is created instantly, no waiting period

Creating a brand also sets up a matching Store on the Marketplace, so you don't need to register twice.

Activation Checklist

New brands show a 4-step checklist until it's complete. Buyers and bloggers can already view your brand page before that, but finishing the checklist is what makes you fully discoverable and unlocks the blue Verified badge.

1. Verify your avatar — link your Second Life avatar via the in-world bot (see Getting Started)
2. Complete store verification — submit your official SL Marketplace store URL so we can confirm you're the real owner; see Marketplace Seller Guide → Store Verification
3. Add your first product — list at least one item in your store
4. Connect delivery inventory — set up your in-world Delivery Box or a Store Delivery Item so orders can be fulfilled automatically; see the Vendor Setup Guide

Verified Badge

The blue ✓ Verified badge on your brand page is granted automatically as soon as all four checklist steps above are complete — there's nothing extra to request or submit. If a step is later reverted (for example your store verification is revoked), the badge is re-evaluated the next time your brand's setup changes.

Blogger Hub — For Brands

Blogger Hub lets bloggers discover your brand, apply to work with you, and pick up products to review.

1. Open your brand's management page and fill in your Welcome Message and Blogger Rules — both are required before you can turn on hiring
2. Turn on Hiring Bloggers so your brand appears in the public Blogger Hub directory
3. Activate the Blogger Recruitment Box, a paid in-world add-on that lets bloggers apply directly from your shop. Rez the box the bot delivers to your inventory, then configure it with your brand name. Current pricing and plan lengths are shown on your brand's Blogger Hub Box page once you're logged in
4. Review incoming applications and manage bloggers from your Brand Blogger Dashboard (accessible from your brand page)

Blogger Hub — For Bloggers

1. Browse brands currently hiring at avatarshot.com/blogger-hub, or apply directly from a brand's Recruitment Box in-world
2. Open a brand and click Apply now to submit your application (portfolio link, Flickr, message)
3. Once accepted, use your Blogger Dashboard to claim available products, track deadlines, and submit your blog/photo links
4. Your public blogger profile shows your reputation, completed assignments, and rating — brands can find and invite you directly from there

Troubleshooting

Important Notes

• Only the legitimate owner of a brand can create and verify it — brand and store verification both check that your linked avatar matches the SL Marketplace store owner
• Store managers you add under Marketplace → Store Managers can also help manage blogger applications, depending on their role
