While we have several recommendations on following the 💸 , one of our tips is scouting influencer platforms for brands running campaigns. While you can secure brand partnerships through these platforms, we often recommend reaching out to the brand directly. Why? Direct communication with the brand often provides more favorable terms to you as a creator. Not to mention, some platforms have added in creator agreements with clauses on content ownership or require creators to opt into things like Global licensing to secure more brand partnerships.
