FAQ: Bonus Badges & Ambassadors
What are Effect House Badges?
Effect House Badges help creators learn about, track, and celebrate meaningful milestones in the effect creation process. Badges are awarded based on activities you complete on Effect House, like reading one of our effect creation guides or growing your audience on TikTok.
How do badges work?
Badges are awarded across 3 milestone categories: Learning, Creation, and Growth.
- Learning is the first step to success — and with plenty of articles and hours of tutorials on the Effect House website, you can become an Effect House expert in no time!
- Step into Creation by publishing effects to TikTok and posting videos with the effects you’ve made.
- Once you’ve published your first effect, Growth marks your reach as you become an accomplished effect creator.
