If you’re a social media content creator or aspiring creator, you may wonder how other creators manage to land their brand collaborations. If you are a new creator or have yet to build relationships with specific brands, there’s still hope for you to land brand deals. One of the best ways to land brand deals if you don’t have relationships or an extensive portfolio is through influencer platforms. An influencer platform is simply a website that connects brands with creators. These platforms allow you to tell about yourself, showcase your work, and connect with brands ready to pay you for your content. Here are the top five platforms to find high-quality brand deals.

Hashtag Paid

Hashtag Paid is a company that connects brands with creators who love their products/services. The website is clean and easy to use. It delivers a seamless influencer marketing platform solution to businesses, agencies, and global corporations. Hashtag Paid lets brands stay in touch with creators through messaging and lets brands preview and approve content before it goes live. Brands also can run ads right on the platform. It’s no wonder huge brands such as H&M, Visa, and Uber are partners with Hashtag Paid.

Later for Creators

Later for Creators is a robust platform that allows creators to engage with followers, stay up-to-date on trends, manage social media content on the go, and get noticed by brands. Later prides itself on its features for creators, such as:

When you join the creator database, you can create a custom media kit to showcase your skills, background, followers, and style. You can include your rate so brands know what you’re asking for before contacting you. Later for Creators is a creator’s dream regarding managing social media and collaborating with brands.
