FAQ
Why a creator program?
So many talented creators from around the world have reached out to collab with One Year. Honestly? Best problem ever. But we're a tiny indie studio, and our wallet can't keep up with everyone we'd love to work with. The Gardener Program is how we get to say yes to more of you.
Who's it for?
Creators whose corner of the internet already feels a little like One Year. Think journaling, slow living, creativity, digital wellness, cozy aesthetics, memory keeping, and cute tech. You'll need to be 18 or older.
Do I need a big following?
Nope, there's no follower minimum. We care more about taste and genuine connection than big numbers.
Do I need to already use One Year?
If you've tried it, great! If you haven't yet but you're genuinely excited to, that works too. You'll get a free year once you're in.
What do I get as a Gardener?
- A free year of One Year
- Early access to new features
- A spot in the Gardener community on WhatsApp, where you can chat with our team
- Bonuses when your posts hit view milestones
How do the bonuses work?
When an eligible post reaches certain view milestones within its first 30 days, you earn a bonus. Bonuses range from $30 at 25k views up to $300 at 250k views or more. We'll share all the details once you're in.
Where should I post?
TikTok, Instagram, and Threads all count toward bonuses. You're welcome to share One Year anywhere else you like too.
What kind of posts are you looking for?
Your honest take in your own voice and style. One Year should be a real part of the post, not a quick flash on screen. Everything should be organic, so no AI-generated content, bought views, or paid boosting.
How much do I have to post?
There's no strict quota. We just ask that you share One Year regularly while you're part of the program. If life gets busy, tell us and you can take a month off.
Can I say what I really think?
Please do! Honest beats polished. And if something about the app bugs you, tell us in the group chat.
Do I have to sign a long contract?
Nope. It's month to month, and you can leave anytime. You keep your free year of One Year either way.
How do I get paid?
Bonuses are paid monthly in USD, via PayPal or bank transfer.
Where do I need to live?
Anywhere in the world, and you can create in any language. We just need to be able to pay you through PayPal or bank transfer.
What happens after I apply?
We review applications on a rolling basis. If it's a yes, we'll email you the next steps :)
What if I don't get in?
Spots are limited each month, so a no might just mean "not yet." You're welcome to apply again later <3
