When creating amazing content for brands, your work is what matters! Let us show you how to complete the process of creating content for Unboxing Video jobs!

Your first step is to get certified for the Unboxing video. This section can be found in your Certifications Tab!


Once your Unboxing certification has been approved, you will enter the process of applying for all the Unboxing jobs that brands have for you!

The first step for you, depending on the type of job, is to purchase and receive the product.

Important: Before accepting this type of job, you must carefully read the instructions to ensure you fully understand the requirements and are 100% confident that you can deliver the content the brand expects!

How to Look for Unboxing Jobs in the Marketplace.

  1. Click on the Marketplace tab in your account.

  2. Select the content type “Videos.”

  3. Use the filter option and choose “Unboxing Video.”

  4. You will see all available unboxing-type jobs.

  5. Click on the name of a job to expand the details and review the description to ensure you can deliver the required content.

  6. Once confirmed, click “Apply to this Job.”

Please note: Brands choose Creators within 1-2 business days of setting the job live. 😉

Once you have accepted the job, you need to place your order for reimbursement for the type of job. You have 48 hours to place the order for reimbursement-type jobs! Once your order is placed, make sure to add your order number for confirmation so the system can recognize this step. Otherwise, your job will be automatically canceled if 48 hours pass after you accept the invitation!

Once you have received the product, create the brand's video content and upload it to JoinBrands. You have a 10-day window to submit Video content!

Best Practices for Your Video: Use a clean setup with a waist-high table so you and the product are visible. Use your back camera and wipe the lens for clarity. Highlight packaging, branding, and first impressions naturally. Start unboxing quickly. Show product in use; label must read left-to-right. Speak to the camera if possible, follow the job description carefully, meet all requirements, and use no background music—natural sound only.

Once your content is ready, go back to the job and upload your content, making sure to follow the required content.

📢 Important Reminder: Original Content Requirement

Please note that the content must be created and submitted by the creator themselves. Submissions made by anyone other than you will not be accepted and may negatively impact your account.

Once your content is approved by our processing team, the brand has a 10-day window to either approve it or request revisions. Once the brand approves your content, you will be paid automatically to your JoinBrands wallet, and you can withdraw the funds using your PayPal account.💸

You can submit multiple upsell videos and will be paid extra if the brand purchases any additional content!
