GETTING PAID
Q: How do I get paid?
In order to be paid by Kinkbomb, you must choose a payment method.
For U.S based studios, you can choose ACH direct deposits or be paid by a check (which costs $2) that is sent to you via mail.
For non- U.S based studios, you can choose from a wire transfer ($50 fee) or paid by check that is sent to you via mail ( $2 fee).
The process: Soon after opening your studio, you will receive an email to setup your preferred method. The email will come from Bill.com on behalf of KB Media Group, Inc. Please click on the link in the email and set up the free account to start receiving payments.
For U.S based studios:
Kinkbomb uses Bill.com for ACH/Direct Deposit payments. Enjoy a secure, safe and private method for personally managing your studio payments. No one will see your bank information except for you. If you need to change your bank information, simply login to your Bill.com account. No support emails or phone calls, ever!
ACH / Direct Deposit - To set up ACH/Direct Deposit, simply click the link that was included in the invite letter from bill.com on KB Media's behalf. Once you have created an account, you will need to enter your bank information. To verify your bank account, Bill.com will deposit a small sum of money (under $1) into the bank account that you have entered in your profile. The deposit will be from “KB Media”. You will verify with Bill.com the amount. Once you verify the amount, direct deposit to your bank account is set up. Then, once you achieve $100 or more in commission, we will pay you via direct deposit automatically.
Payment by Check: In your profile, make sure you add your mailing address. Then, once you achieve $50 or more in commission, we will pay you via a check sent to the address that you specified. Payments via check do not require a bill.com account to be set up. However, all payments via check will incur a $4.00 charge per check issued.
For Non-U.S based studios:
Payments to non-U.S. studios are available to the studios once they achieve $100 or more in commission. They have two payment form choices: wire transfer and payment by check.
Wire Transfer Request: In order to get a wire transfers, please contact customerservice@kinkbomb.com to set a wire-transfer up. The charge for international wire transfers is $50.00 per transfer.
Payment by Check: In your profile, make sure you add your mailing address and email customerservice@kinkbomb.com to let them know that you wish to be paid via check. Then, once you achieve $100 or more in commission, we will pay you via a check sent to the address that you specified. Since the check is sent overseas, there is a latency period of 12-15 days before you can expect the check. There is a $4.00 fee for opting to receive studio payments via international check.

Studio’s need to accumulate $100 in commission in order to trigger a payment.

Q: Are products/content ever removed?
As the studio owner, you may edit or remove content as you see fit. Kinkbomb.com will only remove content that is considered in violation of our Terms & Conditions Statement.
Q: Who owns the content that I publish on Kinkbomb.com?
You, the Studio owner, own all content that you publish. Kinkbomb.com will never list or sell any content without the express consent of the content owner (the Studio).
Furthermore, due to the costs of storage and data protection, kinkbomb.com will remove all content upon the close of a studio. Thus if a studio is closed and re-opened all of the content MUST be re-uploaded.
Kinkbomb.com will ONLY retain content in cases where the Studios violated TOS by listing pirated content (to which they do not own in the first place), or illegal materials (such as child pornography, beastiality, etc) and who are terminated from kinkbomb.com. Kinkbomb.com will retain the rights to this content until all communications with authorities or content owners is established.

Q: How do I set up Auto-Tweet?
When you create or update a product, let the world know. Auto tweeting is a great way to generate sales by directly marketing to your already established twitter followers.
You worked hard on creating an army of twitter followers. Use it to your advantage. Auto-tweeting is simple. Just link your kinkbomb.com account with your Twitter account in the Tools section.
If you haven't, simply go to the Twitter Integration link found under Tools and follow the instructions to link your Twitter account with your kinkbomb.com account.
Once this is completed, you will see an option in the Add Product page in the right column.
Simply check the Auto-tweet option and then enter the message you want tweeted. If you set the product to publish in the future, the tweet will not be sent until your product is set to go live. The system does all of that for you so you don't have to work as hard.
