Frequently Asked Questions

How does Happ help social media managers?

Happ is the homebase for independent social media managers. It brings all your Collaborations into one mobile-first workspace - contracts, payments, and billing. Pricing and contract terms draw on the entire creator network, so you quote from real data. Define your monthly scope, keep your strategic frameworks, and invoice separately for paid-media use.

How do I protect my content strategy from being used without me?

IP terms specify that strategic frameworks, content systems, and format templates remain your intellectual property.

What happens when a Collaborator uses my content in paid ads?

Your agreement limits default usage to organic social. Paid advertising is a separate use with its own fee you invoice for.

How do I structure a retainer agreement?

Define monthly deliverables - post count, formats, platforms, and services. Scope changes require a documented amendment.

What happens when my retainer period ends?

Your agreement includes renewal terms with a defined window. If the Collaborator doesn't renew, the agreement lapses - no silent continuation.

Do I need a contract for social media work?

For any paid engagement - retainer or one-off - yes. Happ's Smart Legal Terms surfaces clauses for monthly scope, content IP, usage rights, and renewal, and you decide which apply. Happ suggests, you decide.

How much should I charge as a social media manager?

Happ does not set your rates - Smart Pricing surfaces relevant benchmarks from the community brain, so you can price a monthly retainer or a project with real market context. You set the number.

How do social media managers invoice clients and get paid?

Invoicing is tied to the signed agreement - each retainer period is its own invoice on the cycle you set - paid straight through Happ. Happ never takes a commission on your work; the only cost is a standard payment processing fee that depends on how your Collaborator pays, always shown to you upfront.
