About this episode

The episode discusses what brands will and will not pay creators for, focusing on fair pricing and negotiation strategies in influencer partnerships.

I’ve been on both sides of the creator economy - I’ve managed influencer budgets on the brand side and I’ve helped creators negotiate paid partnerships from the creator side. In this episode, I’m breaking down what brands will and will not pay creators for, and where I see negotiations get messy (or unnecessary) because expectations weren’t clear from the start. We’re talking about what’s typically fair to charge for in brand deals, sponsorships, UGC, and influencer partnerships, etc. My goal is simple: help you create a win-win partnership where you get paid like a pro, and the brand feels confident investing in you again. If you’ve ever wondered, “Wait… should I charge for this?” This episode will give you a clearer framework.
