From Posts to Portfolios

Creators aren’t just posting — they’re building media brands. Audiences follow people, not logos, and brands collaborate with creators for the trust, taste, and distribution they’ve earned.

Why Brands Partner

  • Trust transfer: creators borrow their credibility to brands
  • Niche depth: smaller audiences, higher intent
  • Creative agility: faster, platform-native formats
  • Distribution: multi-channel presence out of the box

Collaborations work best when the creator’s voice leads.

Pricing Frameworks

  1. Flat fee per deliverable (post, reel, video)
  2. Affiliate + CPA to reward conversions
  3. Revenue share on creator-led products
  4. Whitelisting + paid usage rights for ads

Use SocialPage to centralize your media kit, case studies, and booking links. Make it easy for brands to browse and buy.

“Great partnerships feel like recommendations — not interruptions.”— A Brand Manager

What’s Next

  • Long-term creator residencies over one-offs
  • Creator-led brands and product collabs
  • UGC licensing and performance ads at scale

Start by treating your creator presence like a product: define positioning, outcomes, and proof. Keep a living media kit on SocialPage with audience snapshots, best-performing posts, and vertical-specific packages. Share a simple intake form for brands, list usage rights up front, and include one-liners that describe past wins. Make buying easy and you’ll get bigger, longer deals.
