A guide for creators: how to start collaborating with businesses in your area

You don't need to be well-known to get started. What you need, above all, is a real audience mostly from your own area, and a willingness to talk honestly about the places you like.

First things first: fill out your profile properly

Your approximate location (never exact, for your own privacy) and your radius of activity are the two pieces of data that most determine which businesses find you. Set a realistic radius: the closer it matches what you actually cover, the better the proposals you get will fit.

Wait, or reach out yourself

You can wait for a nearby business to write to you, but you can also do the opposite: look for businesses in your area and propose yourself directly, explaining in a couple of lines what you can offer. Many businesses respond better to a concrete proposal than to waiting to find someone.

Be clear about what you need

Before accepting a collaboration, be clear about what you expect in return — the financial arrangement is always settled outside the platform, directly between the two parties, so the more explicit you are up front, the fewer misunderstandings later.

Confirm once you get paid

When you finish a collaboration and receive the agreed payment, confirm it in your dashboard. That's what makes your real earnings show up — without that confirmation from you, the collaboration doesn't count as paid, even if the business has marked it as completed.
