Important read if you are interested in collaborating with Supernatural Confessions
Supernatural Confessions started off as a book and then later as a small collective for people to post their experiences for others to read. Over time the group has grown to be a source of Asian paranormal information with talk shows and video interviews that the community can enjoy.
As we continue growing and attract other local paranormal enthusiasts and community leaders in their own rights we need to find a way to create a cohesive community with a shared vision and mission, otherwise the whole community would devolve into a free-for-all public forum much like Reddit and other platforms that are intended for such purpose. Supernatural Confessions at its root is not a public forum but we are an inclusive private group. This means we want to be able to develop win-win promos with recognised partners who are able to contribute to the SC ecosystem.
We haven’t reached a stage yet where people start to abuse the system or scammers coming in to promote themselves, but before that happens we want to be able to put in place a process to protect those who are putting in the time and effort in growing the community.
So we came up with this Collabs & Promos policy.

Collabs & Promo Policy - S.P.A.R.K
- Proof of Support - SC is designed to be 'For Fans, By Fans' and our fans are our priorities. We want to support our fans who are supporting us. So the first step is to Like, Follow, Subscribe on all our social media channels, and share our content on your platform.
- Proof of Participation - Earn a top fan and top sharer badge on our Facebook channel. That way we know you have been engaging and growing the community in discussion.
- Proof of Authenticity - SC fans can smell an outright promotion and get turned off immediately. If you are talking more about your channel than you are contributing to SC topics, you are going to lose fans' respect very quickly. In SC, all of us have one common shared value and that is - we give more than we take.
- Proof of Rep - If you are promoting your channel on SC, it means that you are stepping up to be a figure of authority. To earn your rep, you need to be seen and heard. This means you will need to be an active and official content contributor to SC. The more work you put out on SC, the more fans are likely to respect you and would organically be curious to know what else you do.
- Proof of Kinship - It takes years to build a community and only one day to destroy it. We want to develop authentic relationship with our partners and will take the effort to meet you in person. It's important that we share common values and vision. It won't benefit the community if our partners are at conflict with us and each other.
Exit Scenarios
- Inactive Partnership - We understand that sometimes work gets in the way and your priorities shift. Collabs are not designed to be in perpetuity. Partnership status is active only for as long as you maintain the five Proofs listed above in the Collabs & Promo Policy.
- Failure to Respect Our Community - SC is a private group. Our fans trust us to protect them and do the things that benefit the SC community as a whole. We ask that as partners, you do not poach, make backdoor deals, or tap on the SC community to further your own personal agenda.
- Community Backlash - We trust and listen to our fans when it comes to content that they want (or not want) to see. If the community stop trusting you or have flagged your content as inappropriate, then we will have to react to that sentiment.
- Abusing the Grey Areas - There are going to be some terms that are not explicitly stated but we reach out to your common sense and better judgement to prevail. The Grey Area clause is for us to be able to react to people who deliberately take advantage of our community through loopholes that we have not yet foreseen. SC reserves the right to terminate the collab if we find that the partnership isn't a healthy one.
Scope of Promotions
- Posting of Relevant Content - As a recognised partner, we will embed your content with ours and post it out as through our official media channels.
- Listing in Partner's Directory - Get an official listing as a channel that we endorse. We'll have your link up on our channels. The more involved you are in creating content for SC, the more prominently you would be featured.
- Occasional Special Announcement - If you have some special event that you would like to invite the SC community, we would love to do a shout out for you. We ask that you extend special privileges to SC fans. (i.e. discounts, freebies, etc.)
- Invitation to be Part of SC's event calendar - Keen to do more? Come talk to us and let's plan official collaborated events together (i.e. Investigation, tours, etc.)
