Getting brand deals as a creator comes down to being found by the right brands, talking to them directly, and getting paid fairly. Connector Club is a platform that matches brands with creators, and it is free for creators forever: no subscription, and no commission on what you earn. Link your social accounts, build a real-name verified profile, then browse and apply to brand collaborations, or wait for brands to invite you. As of August 2026, the platform has 450+ brand members.
How brand collaborations reach you
Creators usually land brand deals through DMs, referrals from friends, or an agency that happens to call. On Connector Club, work reaches you in three ways:
Three ways to get collaborations
- Public campaignsWhen a brand makes a campaign public, it shows up in your jobs list. You pick the work that suits you instead of waiting to be found.
- Easy ApplyClick Easy Apply or Apply Now on a job card or in the job details, add your quote and a short note about yourself, and you're done.
- Brand invitationsBrands searching the creator database can add you to a private campaign and reach out to you directly with Contact Now.
For campaigns that pay in cash, you enter a cash quote when you apply. The brand shows a suggested budget, but you can change it to your own price. Barter campaigns pay with a product or service instead, so there is no quote to fill in. While your status is Quotation Available (the brand hasn't approved yet), you can still click Edit Quotation to change your price.
From application to payment: how a collaboration works
- Link your accounts and build your profileConnect your social accounts through official Meta, TikTok or YouTube authorization. Brands then see your followers, engagement rate and top posts. See account linking and verification.
- Apply or accept an invitationUse Easy Apply on public campaigns, or reply to a brand that invited you.
- Agree the details in chatQuotes, the brief and feedback all sit in one conversation with the brand.
- Upload your draftsIn the Drafting Deliverables stage, upload image or video drafts. The brand reviews each deliverable separately.
- Publish and submit your postOnce approved, publish, then pick the post from your linked account's feed or paste its link.
- Completion and paymentAfter the brand confirms completion, platform payments arrive by monthly transfer. If you agreed on offline payment, the brand pays you directly.
Draft images can be JPEG, PNG, WEBP, SVG, HEIC or HEIF, up to 10 MB each. Videos can be MP4, MOV, MKV or WEBM, up to 500 MB each. Before you declare completion, set up your payout account under Profile > Bank Account.
