$4,700? Go higher! I work at an agency and contract influencers on behalf of brands and you could easily charge triple your asking rate. From a negotiation standpoint, identify three things: where you’d like to start negotiations, how low you’re willing to go, and what you’re willing to be flexible on if they have a set budget (lowering usage, exclusivity, or adjusting deliverables?)

Influencer marketer here, I liaise between clients and creators at a major agency- IMO, you’re underselling yourself. Most clients/brands care more about follower size, engagement rate, and authenticity. I think you could price everything for at least triple of what you’re asking. Brand dependent of course, but would try it!

This makes me happy that I turned down all the 100$/free sample offers I got to make content for big brands. Still waiting for the right brand deal to come along…

FWStyleEdit | Fort Worth :
This type of rate IS justified if you have an audience to back it AND the brand cares about audience and/or a recognizable face. Brands are not going to pay this for standard UGC content from creators that don’t have an audience / a lot of times they really just want asset volume. I work on the agency side and my clients (maaaaajor brands) are constantly pushing for $1-2K per vid for all rights in perpetuity. And I will literally only win the project if I can find creators that will work with that.

I gave my rate for a UGC video to an agency for $400…long story short the project got a little more complex so I was going to back out and in order to keep me since the client had already approved me they offered me an additional $1100…that tells me their budget was always $1500 and I was underselling myself. But then you have other brands who are like hey I can offer you $100. Ugh the pay is so all over the place!

I’ve worked with influencers from all types for past 5 years, it boils down to WHO is asking for the collab and WHAT is in this package deal. To add to that, not everyone is going to offer thousands for a video however, one you build that portfolio and media kit to show high level brands you build that credibility that you can deliver and the rates will follow
