Creators
Media kit checklist before you publish
Creators: five things brands look for in the first ten seconds — rates, proof, and social signals that make proposals easy to say yes to.

Ship a complete first impression
Brands decide fast. Before you publish on collab01space, fill display name, niches, city, and a bio that says what you make — not a slogan. Add portfolio samples that look like the work you want to get paid for.
Connect the social accounts you want evaluated. Handles stay visible; that’s how serious brands verify you.
Price with a floor, not a fantasy
Use engagement-backed starting rates as a baseline, then set packages for Reels, stories, and custom work. You can always counter per deal — but an empty or wildly inconsistent rate card stalls proposals.
Add turnaround and revision expectations so brands know what “done” means before they pitch.
Respond like a partner
Accept when it fits. Counter with a number and a date. Decline politely when it doesn’t. Brands remember creators who are clear — and they come back with better briefs.
When the work is live, drop proof URLs in the deal workspace, close the collab, and leave a review. That loop is how your next inbound pitch arrives warmer than the last.
