As a content creator, one of your dream is to work with brands that can elevate your creativity and acknowledge your work of Art.The chase to get free product is going faster and faster and I must tell you, a lot of brands have noticed this and that why they will subject most content creators to free collabs or gifted collabs.
I am not saying that you should not work with brands that are offering free samples but I will suggest that after sometime and experience you should bring your best foot forward by rebranding yourself and start sending brands pitches on how to work with them on their paid collaborations.
The reality of this is, brands would pay creators with well optimised pages and well arranged and niche down social pages a lot of money to use their platform to promote their brands for them. I have seen creators who earn as lows as £2000 in a week just to help brands with their sellable deliverables. Every brand intention is to make sure that after every campaign, they are able to achieve their ROAS and be able to fund further campaigns.
There are list of websites and apps you can use as a content creator to access free samples that will help you start your join as a content creator . such apps includes.
- TikTok shop
- shopify collabs
- Brands meet creators
- influencers
- LTK Creators
- Aspire
- Social cat
- Social Book
- Social ladder
Make sure that you have attest 1k followers and your page clearly states the niche you are interested in or you produce content for, have with you either your portfolio or media kit , because some top brands will not give out expensive product to creators that cannot help them them achieve their ROAS.
