Getting started as a brand

Setting up your brand, finding your first creators, and launching a campaign that actually gets applications.

Elev8or gives you a creator marketplace, outreach tooling, and a payment rail that holds money until the work is delivered. Here is the shortest path from empty account to first published post.

  1. 1

    Complete your brand profile

    Company name, website, category and what you are looking for. Creators check this before replying, and a thin profile reads as a scam.

  2. 2

    Search for creators

    Open Discover Creators and filter by platform, niche, audience size and location. See Finding creators.

  3. 3

    Post a brief

    Let creators come to you instead of contacting them one at a time. See Posting a brief.

  4. 4

    Shortlist and agree terms

    Review proposals, chat, settle on deliverables and price.

  5. 5

    Fund and go

    Pay at checkout. The money is held until you approve the work and release it. See How payments work.

Start with three creators, not thirty

Run a small first batch, see which format and which creator tier actually converts for you, then scale the winner. Brands that book twenty creators on day one usually learn nothing from the results.

What it costs to start

  • The Free plan is enough to run one active campaign and it does not expire.
  • You get 20 credits at signup. Credits pay for profile views, outreach, invites and boosts, not for creators.
  • Creator fees are separate real money, plus a platform fee and a payment processing fee at checkout. See Fees explained.
