Posting a brief that gets good applications

A brief is a public post creators apply to. It is the highest-leverage thing you can do on Elev8or, because it turns one action into a pile of proposals instead of a hundred individual messages. Start at Post a brief.

What every good brief contains

1. 1

   The deliverable, exactly

   "1 Instagram Reel, 20 to 40 seconds, product on screen in the first 3 seconds, 1 revision included." Vague deliverables create endless revisions later.

2. 2

   The budget or range

   Briefs without a number get either junk applications or none. A range is fine.

3. 3

   Who you want

   Niche, platform, audience size, location, language.

4. 4

   Usage rights

   How long you can run it as an ad and where. If you skip this, you do not own paid usage.

5. 5

   Timeline

   Draft due, revision window, live date.

6. 6

   What you will not accept

   Anything disqualifying, said once, up front.

What happens after you post

• Creators apply with a proposal that carries their rate, idea and timeline. Applying costs them credits, which filters out mass-spammers.
• Proposals from Creator Pro and Elite accounts are surfaced at the top of your list.
• You shortlist, chat, agree terms, then convert to a collaboration and fund it.

Boosting

Boosting pushes a listing higher in Discover. It costs 5 credits for a collab job and 5 credits for a bounty or performance campaign. Boost a brief that is already well written, boosting a vague brief just gets more vague applications.
