How You Earn on JoinBrands
Your earnings on JoinBrands depend on the type of job you take. Some jobs have a fixed base rate for each approved piece of content, while others — like Content + Posting jobs — can also pay based on how your content performs once it's live (views, engagement, and sales).
Different content types yield different earnings amounts. Every job listing shows you the exact payout before you apply, so you always know what you're signing up for — no surprises. 💡
⚠️ Important: A 20% platform fee applies to all approved earnings for free creators. Creator Pro subscribers pay a reduced 15% fee. For the full breakdown, see Creators: JoinBrands Creator Fees.
Want to earn more on top of your base rate? You can boost your income with Upsells and Tips — here's how both work. 👇
💸 What Are Upsells?
On top of your first paid-out content, you can earn extra income through Upsells — anything a brand buys beyond your first approved piece. The two main Upsell types are Extra Content and Tips.
Extra Content is any additional photo or video the brand picks after your first purchase. These extras are offered at a discounted rate, and your payout reflects the final amount the brand pays.
🌟 Pro tip: When you submit extra content, try different angles, settings, or styles — it gives brands more to pick from and often leads to multiple purchases from a single job. 😉
💰 What Are Tips?
Brands can leave you a tip directly through the platform after picking your content — a great way to get rewarded for content that really stands out.
And the best part? You never have to worry about being paid — JoinBrands collects all funds from the brand upfront and holds them in escrow until your work is approved.
⚠️ Important: The higher your level, the higher your earning potential — so keep creating, keep getting rated, and keep leveling up! 🤑
🎉 That's it — go out there and start earning!
