If you just discovered Gs Challenge and are wondering how it all works, you are in the right place. This guide covers everything a beginner needs to know — from setting up your account to earning your first payout. No experience, no followers, and no special equipment required. Just a phone, a willingness to participate, and a few minutes to learn the basics.
What Is Gs Challenge?
Gs Challenge is a platform where artists create challenges around their music and fans earn real money by submitting videos. An artist sets a budget — say $200 — and a payout per approved submission — say $10. Fans record short videos completing the challenge, submit them, and the artist approves the ones that meet the criteria. Each approved submission earns the fan $10, credited to their wallet.
Unlike social media, where you need thousands of followers to earn, Gs Challenge rewards individual participation. A fan with zero followers can earn real money on their very first submission. The reward is tied to the quality of the participation, not the size of the audience.
Beyond challenges, the platform offers live streaming (where viewers can send paid gifts), reels (short videos that build your following), a weekly leaderboard (that rewards active users), and a referral system (that pays you for inviting friends). But challenges are the core — and the best place to start.
Step 1: Create Your Account
Creating an account is free and takes about a minute. You will need an email address and a password. You can also sign up with Google for a faster process.
Once your account is created, you will be asked to choose an account type — Fan or Artist. Choose Fan if you want to participate in challenges, watch streams, and earn from your creativity. Choose Artist if you want to create challenges and fund them to attract fan content. You can change this later, and the choice does not restrict what you can do — it just helps the platform personalize your experience.
After choosing your account type, set up your profile. Add a display name (this is what other users see), a profile photo, and a short bio. Your profile is how artists and other fans will recognize you, so take a moment to make it represent you.
Step 2: Complete Your Profile
A complete profile helps you succeed on the platform. Here is what to focus on:
Display name. Choose a name that is memorable and consistent with your other social media if you have them. This is how people will recognize you across challenges and streams.
Profile photo. Use a clear photo of your face. The platform uses face verification to prevent duplicate accounts, and a clear profile photo helps this process run smoothly. It also makes a better impression on artists reviewing your submissions.
Bio. Write one or two sentences about yourself. What kind of music do you like? What are you here to do? A bio helps artists and other fans get to know you.
Legal name. This is optional when you start, but you will need it before you can withdraw earnings. It is kept separate from your display name and is used only for financial compliance. You can add it later in your wallet settings.
Step 3: Find a Challenge
Once your profile is set up, head to the challenges page. You will see challenges organized by level. Most new users start at Level 1, which has the most accessible challenges. Browse the available challenges and look for one that fits your style.
Each challenge shows:
- The song title and artist — the music the challenge is built around.
- The payout per submission — how much you earn if approved.
- The spots remaining — how many more people can earn before the budget runs out.
- The instructions — what you need to do in your video.
Read the instructions carefully before you start. The instructions tell you exactly what the artist is looking for. Following them is the single most important factor in getting approved.
Step 4: Record Your Submission
When you find a challenge you want to enter, tap the record button. The platform's built-in recorder will open with the challenge track ready to play. Here is how to record a great submission:
Prepare your space. Find a well-lit area with minimal background noise. Natural light from a window is ideal. Make sure your face will be clearly visible — the platform checks for face presence to verify it is really you.
Listen to the track. Play the challenge track a few times before you record. Get familiar with the part of the song the challenge focuses on. If there is a sample video from the artist, watch it to understand the vibe they are looking for.
Record your take. Hit record and perform. Do not worry about being perfect — authenticity often beats polish. Bring your own style to the challenge rather than copying the sample exactly. Artists want to see your interpretation, not a carbon copy.
Review and submit. Watch your recording back before submitting. Check that your face is visible, the audio is clear, and you followed all the instructions. If something is off, re-record — you can submit only once per challenge, so make it count.
Step 5: Wait for Review
After you submit, your video goes to the artist or their review team. They will watch it and decide whether to approve it. This can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on the artist.
While you wait, do not just sit around. Browse other challenges, watch reels, follow artists whose work you enjoy, and start planning your next submission. The most successful participants on the platform are the ones who enter multiple challenges and build a portfolio of submissions.
If your submission is approved, the payout is credited to your wallet immediately. You will receive a notification. If it is rejected, do not be discouraged — review the instructions again, compare them to your video, and learn from the experience. Every rejection teaches you something about what the artist is looking for.
Step 6: Withdraw Your Earnings
Once you have earnings in your wallet, you can withdraw them. To withdraw, you need:
A verified legal name. This is required for financial compliance. Add it in your wallet settings before requesting a withdrawal.
A payout method. The platform supports withdrawals to Stripe and CashApp. Set up your preferred method in your wallet.
The minimum withdrawal amount. There is a minimum threshold for withdrawals, which is displayed in your wallet. Earn enough to meet it before requesting a payout.
When you request a withdrawal, it is reviewed by the platform and, once approved, sent to your payout method. Processing times vary by method. Check your wallet for the status of your request.
Tips for Beginners
Start with simple challenges. Do not pick the most complex challenge for your first submission. Start with something straightforward — a reaction, a simple dance, a lip-sync. Build your confidence and your understanding of the process before tackling harder challenges.
Read instructions twice. The most common reason for rejection is not following instructions. Read them, then read them again. Make a mental checklist before you record.
Submit early. Challenge budgets are finite. If you wait, the budget may run out. Submit as soon as you find a challenge you want to do.
Engage with the community. Watch other submissions, leave supportive comments, and follow artists. Building relationships on the platform leads to more opportunities and makes the experience more fun.
Be patient. Your first submission might not be approved. That is normal. Learn from it, try again, and keep participating. The fans who earn the most are the ones who kept showing up.
Getting started on Gs Challenge is simple. Create an account, complete your profile, find a challenge, and submit your first video. The rest is practice, persistence, and creativity. You do not need experience, followers, or fancy equipment — just a willingness to participate. Your first payout is closer than you think.
