Student-Made Tools
Here are all of the tools you need to be familiar with in order to be successful in Student-Made!
PhotoCirlce
PhotoCircle is the way we collect any and all content for social media! All of our social media managers and content creators have access to each campus’ PhotoCircle to gather posts for Instagram and TikTok. You can join via a link sent by any of your managers. You just click the link or scan the QR code, then you are in and can add content! It is important that you add things because this is how we promote you and your business. If there is nothing in there, it is very very difficult to promote you.
What Content Do You Put In?
Add ALL content!!! Well, as long as it's appropriate, but you know what we mean. This means you should add photos of the products, photos of you, photos of you making the products, photos of you with the products, photos of other people using the products, videos of the products, videos of you making the products, TikToks you have made, and so forth. So as you can see, you should pretty much add everything and anything.
PhotoCircle vs. Product Photos Folder
It is extremely important that you know the difference between these two things. The photos may overlap, but you have to use both. PhotoCircle is for content for social media. Your product photos folder is for website photos. Again, you can use the same pictures, but they must be in both. The website manager will not go to PhotoCircle to get product photos.
GroupMe
This is how we communicate with you! There are two GroupMe’s that you will join: your campus’ chat and the big Student-Made Community chat. It is important that you always pay attention to what is said and never mute the chat. This is where you will get important information and updates from your manager team and from HQ.
Google Drive
This is where you will upload your products + product photos, sign up for events, and so much more. It is essential that you understand and use Google Drive, so please reach out to your managers if you have any questions.
Bill.com
Bill.com is how we pay you bi-monthly. You must have your Bill.com set up in order to become an active creator. Note: We create the invoices for you which is how we are able to pay you. If Bill.com ever asks you to invoice Student-Made, please do not, as it will cause an error in the process.
Square
Square is the credit card reader device that we use to collect payment at pop-ups. Using the square allows us to track all data on sales, collect money in one place, and allows us to take credit card payments. Note: Squarespace has no affiliation with Square.
Instagram is one of the social media platforms we use most. Each branch has its own account, which the Social Media Manager oversees. This is where we get a majority of our engagement. This is how new people learn about Student-Made and our many branches— and you can help by liking, commenting, and sharing all posts you see!
Other social media
We use many other social media platforms such as:
TikTok
Facebook
LinkedIn
Each one is used to market toward a different audience. For Facebook, each campus has their own account. For LinkedIn and TikTok, we have one account for the entire network. They are great ways to reach as many people as possible.
Squarespace
Squarespace is the website building platform that hosts all of our websites. Please note that it does not have any affiliation with Square.
