How Creator Placement Works, Step by Step
What happens between applying here and signing with an agency: the review, the match, the intro call, the trial, and what you are never asked to pay.
Most creators who apply here have never been placed before, so the process is a black box. Here is exactly what happens, in order, and how long each step usually takes.
1. You apply (ten minutes)
The creator application asks for your platforms, current monthly revenue, follower counts, how long you have been creating, whether you have an agency now, and what you want in the next six months. There is no test for creators. We are not judging your content, we are working out which agencies you would fit.
Answer honestly, including the numbers. Small numbers do not get you rejected. Inflated numbers get you matched with the wrong agency, and that is worse for you than for anyone.
2. We review it (within 48 hours)
A person reads every creator application. We look at three things: whether your account is at a stage an agency can actually help, which of our partner agencies work with your niche and creator type, and whether what you asked for is something an agency can deliver.
If you are not ready yet, we tell you that and say why, usually with one or two things to do first. Read what agencies look for before applying if you want to know in advance.
3. The match (a few days)
We put your profile in front of one to three agencies we think fit. Not a mass blast. Agencies tell us whether they want an intro, and we pass back what they said, including a no.
You will never be matched with an agency we have not placed with before or that we would not use ourselves. That is the whole value of going through a placement service instead of answering DMs from agency recruiters.
4. The intro call
You and the agency talk. Bring questions, and read our guide to choosing an agency first so you know which ones matter. The agency should be able to tell you specifically what they will do for an account like yours in the first 30 days. Vague answers about growth are the ones to walk away from.
5. The trial
Most of our partner agencies offer a trial period, usually two to four weeks, before a longer agreement. During the trial you keep full control of your login and your payouts go to your own bank. If an agency wants your password and your payout details before a trial has even started, that is a reason to stop.
6. Signing
If the trial works, you sign. The contract should say in plain words: the split and what it is calculated on, the term, how either side exits, who owns the content, and who holds the account. We can read the contract with you if you want a second pair of eyes.
What you pay
Nothing. Not for applying, not for the match, not for the intro, not for the trial. Agencies pay us when a placement works out. Anyone in this industry asking a creator for money before they have earned anything is not an agency, whatever they call themselves.
What we are not
We do not manage accounts. We do not run your chat, post your content or hold your login. That is the agency’s job, and it is why we have no reason to push you toward a bad fit: a placement that falls apart in a month costs us too.
