The most effective payment structure splits payments into 50% upfront and 50% upon completion, or alternatively 25% advance with 25% at set milestones.
At scale, you should pay weekly and upfront. This increases trust and transparency for creators to start and protects you from potential issues down the line.
Keep contracts simple.
Accept various payment methods, including PayPal, Stripe, and direct transfer. For younger creators, you can use Shein, Roblox, or Amazon vouchers.
Before starting the full contract, conduct test and demo videos to ensure alignment on content style and quality. This is important to verify quality and ensure that the creator can deliver.
For dedicated gigs, make sure to add clauses in the contract stating that the content can be boosted or used at your discretion for ads.
