🎯The Big Picture
JoinBrands is a marketplace that connects creators with brands looking for content. Brands post campaigns, you apply to the ones that match your niche, and you get paid to create photos, videos, or social media posts featuring their products.
You keep full creative control within the brief, and you get to work with real products from real brands. Everything from applying to jobs, shipping, content uploads, chat, and payments happens inside the platform.

🎬 What Types of Jobs Are Available?
📹 Content Only (no posting required)
You create the content and hand over the files. The brand uses them however they want — for ads, product pages, or social posts. You do not need to post anything on your own accounts.
📲 Content + Posting
You create the content and post it on your own social media account. The brand gets the files plus an ad code so they can run it as a paid ad.
📌 Platforms: TikTok, TikTok Shop, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, YouTube Video, Amazon Shoppable Video
💥 Social Blasts
A brand hires multiple creators at once to post about the same product on TikTok Shop. Great for generating buzz and earning affiliate commissions on top of your base pay.
🔁 Retainers
An ongoing deal with one brand. You agree on a posting schedule and a monthly budget, and you keep creating content for them over time. Retainers offer steady, predictable income.
💰 How You Get Paid
JoinBrands uses an escrow system. When a brand approves a campaign, the payment is held in escrow. Once you submit content and the brand approves it, the funds are released to your account.
💵 Per-job pricing — each campaign listing shows exactly what you will earn before fees
🧾 Platform fee — a small percentage is deducted from each job. See full details in our Creator Fees article
