# Step 2: Apply to Brands!

There are 2 ways in which you can start forming partnerships with brands. These methods include:

* [Sending proposals to brands](/partner/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/working-with-brands/applying-to-brands/find-and-apply-to-brands.md) you are interested in working with
* [Accepting proposals](/partner/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/working-with-brands/applying-to-brands/manage-your-brand-invitations-and-applications.md) brands have sent you

#### After you apply

1. The brand receives your application. They may negotiate compensation, tasks, or other details with you.
2. When the application is approved or rejected, you'll get an email and in-app notification.
3. Your finalized [contract](/partner/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/working-with-brands/contracts/contracts-explained-for-partners.md) will show the brand's commission details and requirements.
4. Create and share your links or promo codes to start earning!
