About the project
"International SMM" is a reference book of terms: what platforms and services wrote in their own documents about money, rules, limits and rights. Not advice, not rankings, not reviews. Terms, with an address and a date.
Why it exists
Someone who wants to earn money on social networks spends weeks finding out simple things: what the payout threshold is, whether an affiliate link is allowed, what happens to the rights to a picture made by a neural network, and where to file an appeal when an account is blocked.
This information exists — it is scattered across hundreds of help-centre pages in a dozen languages, changes without notice, and is almost nowhere brought together.
The catalogue brings it together. And it names the source behind every number, so the reader can check for themselves.
How it differs
Contradictions are not smoothed over. If two sources say different things, both are given. We do not pick the plausible one.
Quotations in the original language. A platform's terms are given as the platform wrote them — in English, in Chinese, in Persian. The translation stands alongside, marked as ours.
Nothing is invented. No source, no line. That rule cost the catalogue a great deal: we rejected tools there was nothing to read about, and did not write where we could not verify.
What is not here and will not be
Rankings and "best of" lists. Promises of income. Ways around platform rules or bot protection. Affiliate links passed off as recommendations.
Who is behind it
This section will be filled in before publication. It will name the owner, the form of liability and a contact address — without that, a reference book cannot be considered honestly published: a complaint needs someone to address it to.
How it works inside
The catalogue is generated from a database of facts by a single command. A page is not text that someone wrote and forgot, but a query to that database: change a fact and every page showing it changes.
