Collaborations that finish well.
How the best briefs, offers and reviews on FindCollabs are put together.
Write a brief creators want to answer
- Say exactly what you need: format, length, and how many pieces.
- Give a realistic deadline and a budget range.
- Describe the audience you want to reach.
- State ownership and usage terms, like whether you can run the video as an ad.
Clear briefs get fewer, better applications.
Choose creators on fit, not follower count
- Compare portfolio samples with the work you asked for.
- Look at audience size and platform, and at reviews from past brands.
- Message a creator before sending an offer if anything is unclear.
Agree everything in the open
- Use offers in the chat for price, not side messages.
- Confirm deliverables, deadline and usage rights before an offer is agreed.
- Top up your wallet first: an offer can only be agreed when you have the full amount.
Give feedback that is easy to act on
- Be specific: point to the moment or the line you want changed.
- Send one consolidated round of changes rather than many small ones.
- Approve as soon as the work matches the brief, so the creator gets paid.
Before you agree an offer
- Deliverables and format are written down in the chat.
- The deadline works for both sides.
- The price is right, and the creator has seen their net amount.
- Usage rights and where the content will be posted are agreed.
- You both know how many rounds of changes to expect.
After the collaboration
- Leave a review, so the next brand or creator can decide faster.
- Work together again: the chat keeps everything you agreed last time.
