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.
Step by Step
Browse campaigns. Open the marketplace and filter by content type, product category, price, or platform. Each listing shows what the brand wants, the product details, and how much they pay per job.
Apply to jobs. Found something you like? Hit apply. The brand reviews your profile, level, rating, and portfolio before making a decision. Some campaigns have auto-approval enabled, so you may be accepted instantly.
Receive the product. Once approved, the brand ships the product to you (or reimburses you if you buy it yourself). You will see tracking info inside the platform so you know when to expect it.
Create the content. Follow the brief and produce the photos or videos the brand requested. You can message the brand directly through in-platform chat if you have questions.
Upload and submit. When your content is ready, upload it through the platform. The brand reviews it, and either approves, requests changes, or declines.
Post (if required). For Content + Posting jobs, publish the content on your own social account (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, etc.) and share the ad code (Spark Ads or Partnership Ad code) with the brand so they can boost it.
Get paid. Once the brand approves your content, payment is released from escrow to your account. You can withdraw earnings through PayPal, Payoneer, or direct bank transfer.
What Types of Jobs Are Available?
Campaigns on JoinBrands fall into a few categories:
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.
Video types: Product Review, Unboxing, Product Demo, How-To, Custom Video, Green Screen, Video Ad
Photo types: Selfie with Product, Product Only, Lifestyle, Product Demo
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
