How to use TYCOON

One account works for everything on TYCOON. The same sign-in lets you claim and complete tasks in the marketplace and request tasks of your own through the Classifieds. Which side you use depends on what you came to do:

Clients run the mirror image of that flow — request → staff review → settle → task posts → monitor — covered in full in section 07.

1. 1
   Register. Create an account with your email and a password from the sign-up page. Every new account starts as a standard user account — there is no separate client or worker sign-up.
2. 2
   Complete your profile. In Profile, add your display name and — if you want translation work — your languages and proficiency. Translation tasks are matched by language: you can only claim a translation task if its language pair matches your profile.
3. 3
   Add your areas of expertise. Your profile expertise helps the platform present the right work; promo, stream team, street team, and services tasks are open to every account.
4. 4
   Connect payouts early. You can claim work right away, but to get paid you will need the Stripe connection described in section 05. Doing it now means no delay when your first task is approved.

Open Marketplace from your dashboard. Every open task is listed with its category, budget, deadline, and — for translation — its language pair. Use the category filter to narrow the list to the kind of work you want: Translation, Promo, Stream Team, Street Team, or Services.

Open any task to read the full brief before you claim it. A task page always tells you:

1. 1
   Claim the task. Press Claim Task & Start Working on the task page. A task can be claimed by one worker at a time — once you claim it, it leaves the marketplace and appears under My Tasks.
2. 2
   Do the work as briefed. Follow the brief and the proof requirements exactly. For promo and stream team tasks, use your own real accounts — see the rules in section 08.
3. 3
   Translation tasks open in the built-in editor: work field by field against the source text. Drafts autosave as you type, so you can leave and return without losing work.
4. 4
   Watch the deadline. Your claimed tasks and their deadlines live under My Tasks. Submit before the deadline shown on the task.

When the work is done, submit it from the task page. Non-translation tasks use the proof form: paste the links to the finished work, add notes (where, when, what was done), and upload photos where the task asks for them. Translation tasks submit directly from the editor.

Every submission is reviewed by TYCOON staff. If your submission is rejected, the reason is shown on the task page so you can see exactly what was wrong. If it is approved, the task moves to payout.

1. 1
   Connect Stripe. Go to Payments in your dashboard and press Connect with Stripe. Payouts are processed by FKACO through Stripe, which holds your payout details directly — TYCOON never sees your bank information.
2. 2
   Complete Stripe onboarding. Stripe will ask for the identity and payout details it requires. Until onboarding is complete and payouts are enabled, approved earnings cannot be sent.
3. 3
   Track your money. The Payments page shows your payout history and totals per currency; each task's payment status is visible on the task and under My Tasks — from approval, to pending payout, to paid.

Disputes: TYCOON has no formal dispute or appeal mechanism. If you believe a review or a payout is wrong, the recourse is direct: email [email protected] — or, for a Classifieds request, message staff in your request thread, which stays open until the task is complete and paid out.

The full catalog. Every task in the marketplace is one of these types, and every Classifieds request uses the same list.

Artists, labels, and teams use the Classifieds to get work done on TYCOON. You do not post to the marketplace directly — you submit a request, TYCOON staff review it with you, settlement happens inside your request thread, and staff post the approved task. The thread then stays open as your monitoring window until the task is complete and the worker is paid.

1. 1
   Open a request. In your dashboard go to Task Requests → New Request. Pick the category and task type (the same 23 types above) and fill in the form below.
2. 2
   Staff review. You are emailed when staff act on your request. Approved moves to settlement. Sent back arrives with a written reason — edit the request and resubmit; you have up to 3 resubmits. Declined requests are closed with a reason.
3. 3
   Settle. Staff send a payment link inside your request thread for the task budget plus the platform fee. Pay it — staff verify the payment with Stripe, and only then is the task posted.
4. 4
   Monitor the run. Your thread shows the task's live status — claimed, submitted, staff-approved, paid out — and you can message staff in the same thread at any point.
5. 5
   Completion. TYCOON pays the worker through the normal payout flow. When the task is approved and the worker has been paid, the thread closes and your request is complete.

Anything this guide does not cover — a payment that looks stuck, a request you need changed after approval, a dispute about a submission — email [email protected], or use Contact Us in the footer. For a Classifieds request, messaging staff inside your request thread is fastest, because the whole transaction is already there.
