What happens now

The brand has been notified that you accepted, and your $4.00 review fee is confirmed regardless of what happens next in the collaboration. They typically reach out within 1 to 3 days with the specifics. If you haven't heard from them after that, it's completely fine to follow up yourself.

  • Get it in writing. Even a simple confirming email covering deliverables, deadline, and payment protects you both.
  • Know your usage rights before you deliver.
  • Confirm payment terms up front, before you start work.

Common questions.

Creating and keeping a portfolio is free for creators. Brands pay $12.99 per pitch, or subscribe to a plan with monthly pitch credits.

It's held when a brand sends a pitch. It's charged when the creator accepts or declines within 72 hours, and released if they do not respond. A response within 72 hours, or no charge. It exists so pitches cost something to send, which keeps out low-effort outreach.

A credit is used when a pitch is sent, and no hold is placed. If the creator does not respond within 72 hours, the credit is returned. If they accept or decline, it's used.

No. There is no commission on deals. Once a creator accepts and contact details unlock, the deal is between the brand and the creator.

Creators earn $4.00 for every pitch they accept or decline within 72 hours. The deal itself is negotiated directly with the brand, with zero commission to Aethynex.
