# Increase Your Creators' Compensation as a Brand

As a brand, you can increase your *Hired* creators' compensation amount if you feel that they're performing well.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** Compensation increases are available if the SOW uses *flat fee compensation*. For other compensation types, like product gifting, compensation can't be increased.

5. Enter a **New amount** and select **Save**.

   * The *Increase compensation* action updates the amount in the SOW but does not trigger payment. The payment is still triggered by the **Pay** action.
   * Creators will be notified when their compensation is increased.
