Quick Questions answers about the position when completing the intern contract.  All interns must sign a contract to participate.

Q1: As a Social Media Intern, does that also make me a Participant?

A1: Yes, as a Social Media Intern, you are considered a Participant in the program. This ensures you are included in all relevant communications and opportunities.

Q2: It says the roles are brand ambassador, student advisory board, marketing sales, and social media. Am I doing all of these, or just the social media part?

A2: While the contract references several roles (brand ambassador, student advisory board, marketing sales, and social media), your primary focus will be on social media activities. We use a unified contract for efficiency, but you will not be expected to take on responsibilities outside your designated area unless you express interest.

Q3: Is the commission solely based on the number of subscribers I bring in?

A3: Commission Structure only applies to the following situations

Non-student donations

Restaurant referrals
There is also a $3 student donation option, but we do not expect you to prioritize this. The main goal is to encourage student sign-ups for the free program. Commissions are not solely based on subscriber numbers, but on the specific activities outlined above.

Q4: Is this role me assisting in the managing and content-creation of the official social-media accounts of Campus NIL?

A4: Your main responsibility will be to promote the program through your own social media platforms. You will not be required to manage or create content for the official Campus NIL accounts unless specifically requested or if you express interest in doing so

Q5: Does this role require me to have my own social media account? Am I operating in a social-media influencer capacity?

A5: Yes, the role involves leveraging your own social media presence to help spread the word about Campus NIL. While you are not required to act as a traditional influencer, your outreach and creativity in engaging your network will be valuable.

If you have any further questions or concerns, please let me know. We will also cover these topics in detail during onboarding, and there is no penalty if you decide not to proceed after that process.
