Step 1: Create a Campaign or Discover Creators

After signing up with Creator, you can choose how you want to proceed with your program. You can either start with building your campaign or discover creators first.

One of the first steps after setting up your Creator program is to create a new campaign. Your campaigns form the basis of your program where you set up tasks, collaborate with creators, and pay them for completing these tasks. Your campaign needs to attract suitable creators, so adding as much detail as possible will be a key factor.

Key campaign settings

  • Compensation models: You can set up an individual or any combination of the following payout models for each campaign.

    • Flat fee: If you opt to pay creators per task they complete, you can choose the fee or let creators choose their own payout fee.

    • Performance-based compensation: If you opt to pay creators based on tracking link conversions, you'll have to ensure your action locking periods and payout schedules are set up correctly. You must also have at least 1 online sale event type.

    • Product gifting: If you opt for product gifting, indicate the number of free products per campaign and provide the product details (type of products, restrictions, promo codes to redeem the product, etc.).

  • Campaign eligibility: Choose who is able to apply to your campaign by configuring the eligibility of the campaign.

    • My joined creators: Work with any of your joined creators.

    • Creators who match specific demographic or audience criteria: Work with creators who match certain criteria.

    • Joined creators from my groups: Make the campaign available to creators from your created groups.

    • All marketplace creators and my joined creators: Make the campaign available to all creators in the marketplace and those who are joined to your program.

Best practices when setting up a campaign

Campaign setting

Recommendation

Campaign overview

  • Choose a name that is short, to the point and eye-catching to creators. This lets them know what your campaign is about.

  • Select a cover image that’s rectangular in size, and close to a 3:2 or 16:9 aspect ratio. Lifestyle or product images tend to provide a better experience for creators than a brand logo. If you’re going to have more than one campaign, give each one a different cover image.

Compensation

  • Use a combination of flat fees and commission based compensation to draw more interest from creators.

  • Allow your creators to pitch their own rates to get an idea of what rates creators are expecting. This can be especially helpful to new creator programs.

Content rights

  • Ask for more usage rights than you think you’ll need to allow room for negotiation.

  • Avoid asking for usage rights in perpetuity as it’ll raise the budget, and can lead to creator pushback.

  • Be specific about what brands, or types of brands, are included in the exclusivity and the duration before and after content is live. Exclusivity will drive up flat fees.

  • Allow creators to negotiate where possible, provided you have the time to go back and forth. If speed is a priority, then stick to non-negotiable terms.

Brief

  • Use an exact date when setting up task deadlines to remind creators of due dates.

  • If you’re flexible in the type of content you want from your creator (i.e., you’re okay with TikTok videos, IG reels or posts, or YouTube videos, etc.), then let creators define their tasks.

  • Specify your content guidelines, including the type of content you're looking for as well as any content rules.

  • For lengthy content guidelines, upload additional documents that contain your full campaign brief.
