Common issues

Why creators lose money on contracts

Most brand agreements are written by the brand's legal team, not yours. The terms are designed to protect them.

Exclusivity that blocks your income

A 6-month exclusivity clause means you can't work with competing brands, even if this deal pays a fraction of what you'd earn elsewhere.

Content rights that never expire

Perpetual usage rights let brands use your content forever, across any platform, without additional payment.

Payment terms that delay you

Net-60 or net-90 terms mean you could deliver all content and wait months to get paid. Some tie payment to brand approval with no deadline.

One-sided cancellation

The brand can cancel at any time, but you cannot. Termination for convenience applies to them only, leaving you with sunk costs.

Vague deliverables

Without clearly defined deliverables, brands can request additional posts, stories, or edits beyond what you agreed to.

Portfolio restrictions

Some contracts prevent you from using your own work in your portfolio or reposting sponsored content.
