Create your account and finish onboarding

Signing up, verifying your email, picking your account type, and completing the onboarding steps that unlock the product.

  1. 1

    Sign up

    Go to Sign up. You can use email and password or continue with Google. Google is faster and skips email verification.

  2. 2

    Verify your email

    If you signed up with email, click the link we send you. Unverified accounts cannot receive payouts or send outreach.

  3. 3

    Pick creator or brand

    See Should I sign up as a creator or a brand?. This decides the rest of onboarding.

  4. 4

    Complete your profile

    Creators add their niche, channels, rates and portfolio. Brands add company name, website, category and what they are looking for.

  5. 5

    Collect your signup credits

    The moment your profile record is created, 20 credits land in your account automatically. Nothing to claim.

Why onboarding is worth finishing properly

  • Incomplete creator profiles are ranked lower in brand search and get far fewer invites.
  • Brands with no website or category on file look untrustworthy to creators and get ignored.
  • Some actions (payouts, outreach, campaign publishing) are blocked until the required fields exist.

Signed up through a referral link?

You get 5 bonus credits and your referrer gets 10, applied automatically at signup. See Referrals.

Common signup problems

I never got the verification email.

Check spam, then wait 60 seconds and request it again. Corporate mail filters are the usual cause. If it still does not arrive, sign in with Google using the same address instead.

It says my email is already registered.

You probably signed up with Google earlier. Use "Continue with Google" instead of a password, or reset your password from the login page.

I am stuck on the account type screen.

Hard refresh the page. If it still loops, sign out and back in, that clears a stale session.
