Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to the most common creator questions

How do I get brands to contact me?

Optimize your profile with clear photos, detailed bio, and linked social accounts. Create content that shows your value to brands, engage with your audience consistently, and consider reaching out to brands directly with personalized pitches.

What should I include in my bio?

Include your niche/expertise, location, follower count across platforms, engagement rate, types of content you create, and what makes you unique. Use keywords that brands might search for and keep it concise but informative.

How do I price my collaboration offers?

Consider your follower count, engagement rate, content quality, niche, and time investment. Research industry standards: typically $10-100 per 1K followers for Instagram posts. Factor in usage rights, exclusivity, and deliverables when setting rates.

Should I work for free when starting out?

Occasional free work can help build your portfolio and relationships, but don't make it a habit. Focus on fair exchanges like product gifting for honest reviews. Always value your time and creative work, even when building experience.

How do I handle brand negotiations?

Be professional, clear about deliverables, and don't be afraid to negotiate. Ask about usage rights, timeline, exclusivity, and payment terms. Always get agreements in writing and don't undersell your value.

What content performs best for brand collaborations?

Authentic, high-quality content that naturally integrates the brand. Tutorial-style posts, behind-the-scenes content, and genuine reviews tend to perform well. Focus on storytelling and showing real use cases for products or services.
