Hi Vanessa! Collaborations with brands shouldn’t require you to pay at all. I would politely decline or ask them to waive the shipping fee. Also if it’s a brand you aren’t familiar with try looking them up on Reddit or going through their tagged photos of other collabs and DM those creators to ask what their experience was like working with the brand. Hope this helps!!

@@austynpaula yesss thank you so much for the reply !

Hi Lindy! You definitely shouldn't have to pay a penny to work with a brand. Politely let them know that you're happy to continue with a gifted partnership at their expense and see how they respond! If they push you to pay then move on as it sounds like a scam! Good luck :)

Thanks a lot ​@@austynpaula

Did you do it? How is it going 😶

Hi ,one year later but make your Instagram into a business page . Instagram will give you analytics for free

If you have a PO box then I'd try to get everything sent there for additional privacy but I have always used my home address for collaborations and PR and I haven't had any problems with this :)

YAY Congrats!!! Happy that I could help, let me know if you have any questions :)

Please how much exact followers do i need to start collaborating with a brands?​@@austynpaula

Sometimes it can be tricky to know which ones are spam emails but something that has helped me is asking someone who has partnered with the brand if the email you got looks similar or is from the same email address as the person who reached out to them. If you think it could be spam just make sure not to give out any personal info until you've confirmed it's legit! My Instagram is @austynpaula if you're unsure you can send me an email to take a second look at :)

@@austynpaula Thank you

Yay! Happy to help! Consistency is key so you've got this!!!

Yes, definitely!! Try reaching out to brands through DMs or email and try different platforms like AspireIQ to find opportunities. I'd also recommend adding your email address in your IG bio so that brands can also reach out to you easier - even if you have the "email" button on your profile, this is only shown on mobile view, not desktop, so brands would have to take extra time to find where to reach you.

If the brand sends the gift with no strings attached and the creator organically shares about it in their content then no disclosure should be needed but if the brand is asking for a video then this should be disclosed. Lots of creators will still only disclose paid partnerships or only disclose partnerships if the brand has specified that disclosure is necessary. Plus, every country has different rules about what needs to be disclosed so not everyone will be doing the same thing

Glad that I could help!!

Hi! Brands will often send me a PDF attachment that has a line sheet, look book, or more info on the specific collaboration so I don’t usually have a problem viewing these attachments. I would assess if I trust that the email is legitimately from the brand or if it’s phishing (spam) and if it’s a link you need to click before you can “download the catalog” hover your curser over the URL and see if at the bottom corner of the screen you can see a preview of the website that it will direct you to (for me I can see this using outlook on my MacBook and I like to read the full URL link first to see if it’s a Google drive link or a website link rather than something strange. You could also tell them that the download did not work and ask if they can submit the catalog into a delivery method that you trust more (Dropbox or other drives) I Hope this helps! It’s good to be cautious about downloads and links :)

@@austynpaula thank you soooooo muchhhhhhhh. You’ve helped me tremendously 💞✨

Happy that you found this video helpful!! There's always free information to source out while you're getting started! Good luck :) Let me know if you have any unanswered questions

I have a video on my RUclips channel for this "how I edit my photos for IG" and I also have some TikTok and Reels on this - DM me on IG and I can send you the links (@austynpaula)

I’m in Canada and I write on my invoices that I accept e-transfer, bank transfer, or PayPal. But using PayPal often takes a fee since it is a business transaction. Bank transfers are good, you just submit the same direct deposit information that you would give to an employer :)

@@austynpaula thank you!

You can use the invite collaborator tool without using the paid partnership label and I’d say if it’s a gifted collaboration to disclose the relationship in the caption by using #gifted or just writing “gifted”. Each country may have different disclosure requirements so be sure to check (I’m in Canada) :)

omg I wish!!!! I definitely need my hands looking in top shape for most of my content but I don't specifically do any jobs that are only hand modeling

Yess! I didn't start taking on content creation clients right away (I did a lot more collaborations at first) but I get some clients through them seeing my account and reaching out to me or when I reach out to brands I mention that I also do content creation. I can go a little more in-depth in a future video but usually, we chat about what type of content they like and set up rates and deadlines, and some of them like when I send them what I plan to do beforehand (whether it's a certain trend or something else that I want to do) sort of like a mini brief and that's mostly how it works!
