As an influencer or content creator, you’re not just a “personality”—you’re a media business. But often, the business side is a mess. You’re negotiating deals in Instagram DMs, tracking deliverables on sticky notes, and chasing payments through endless email threads.
This chaos doesn’t just stress you out; it makes you look unprofessional to brands and limits how many deals you can handle.
To scale your creator business, you need to stop treating it like a hobby. You need a system.
Feedcoyote provides the all-in-one platform to manage your brand partnerships professionally. From signing the contract to hitting “publish” and getting paid, here is how to run your influencer business on Feedcoyote.
1. Stop Relying on DMs: Formalize Deals with Contracts
Nothing kills a brand relationship faster than “scope creep”—when a brand asks for just one more Story or usage rights you didn’t agree to.
- The Problem: Handshake deals in DMs leave you unprotected. You risk doing extra work for free or waiting months for payment.
- The Feedcoyote Solution: Move the conversation to Feedcoyote immediately. Use the Contract feature to send a professional agreement that clearly defines:
- Deliverables: (e.g., “1 YouTube Integration + 3 IG Stories”).
- Timeline: When drafts and final posts are due.
- Usage Rights: Where and how long they can use your content.
- Payment Terms: (e.g., “50% deposit upfront, 50% upon publication”).
Pro Tip: Sending a contract makes brands take you seriously. It signals that you are a professional partner, not just an amateur.
2. Manage Your Content Calendar (Without the Stress)
Juggling multiple brand deals means managing multiple deadlines. Missing a post date is the easiest way to lose a recurring sponsorship.
- The Problem: Trying to remember deadlines or using a messy spreadsheet that doesn’t remind you of anything.
- The Feedcoyote Solution: Create a Project Workspace for each brand deal. Use the Task Manager to map out your production workflow:
- Task 1: “Script/Concept Approval” (Due: Monday)
- Task 2: “Film Content” (Due: Wednesday)
- Task 3: “Edit & Submit Draft” (Due: Thursday)
- Task 4: “Post Live” (Due: Friday)
You can check off tasks as you go, giving you a visual dashboard of exactly what needs to be done this week.
3. Communicate Professionally with Brands
Brands love creators who are easy to work with. That means clear, organized communication.
- The Problem: Critical feedback on your video draft gets lost in a 50-email thread or buried in your DMs.
- The Feedcoyote Solution: Invite the brand rep to your Feedcoyote project. Use Project Chat for updates and File Sharing to upload your drafts. They can leave comments directly in the workspace, keeping all feedback organized and actionable.
4. Get Paid Faster and More Securely
The worst part of the job is chasing money. “Net 60” payment terms can feel like “Net Never” if you aren’t organized.
- The Problem: Sending PDF invoices via email that get lost in the brand’s accounting department.
- The Feedcoyote Solution: Use Feedcoyote’s Invoicing & Payment tools.
- Send Professional Invoices: Generate a clean invoice linked directly to your project contract.
- Track Status: See exactly when an invoice is viewed and paid.
- Direct Payments: Accept payments directly through the platform, ensuring you get your money securely and on time.
Scale Your Production Team
As you grow, you might need help editing videos or designing thumbnails.
- The Feedcoyote Advantage: Use the “Coyotes” Network tab to find freelance video editors or graphic designers. You can hire them, manage their tasks, and pay them—all within the same platform you use to manage your brand deals.
Brands invest in creators who deliver high-quality work on time and without headaches. By moving your operations to Feedcoyote, you solve the administrative chaos.
You get contracts to protect you, task tools to keep you organized, and payment systems to ensure you get paid. You stop wasting time on admin and start focusing on what you do best: creating content.
