We have a rigorous 4-step vetting process:

• Audience authenticity — we analyze engagement rates, comment quality, and follower growth patterns to detect fake followers or engagement pods.
• Content relevance — creators must have proven expertise in AI & Tech niches, verified through their recent videos and posts.
• Performance history — we track past campaigns, brand collaborations, and audience feedback to assess credibility and delivery.
• Direct relationship — we personally speak with every creator to confirm rates, availability, and professionalism before partnering.

Result: only 2–3% of creators we evaluate make it into our network. Quality over quantity.

Our standard timeline is 5–10 business days, broken down as:

• Days 1–2 — brief review & creator matching
• Days 3–5 — creator outreach, negotiation, contract finalization
• Days 6–8 — content creation & review (if needed)
• Days 9–10 — final approval & content publication

For time-sensitive campaigns, we can accelerate this to 3–5 days with the right team.

No hard minimum, but we recommend starting with $1,000–$3,000 USD for an effective first campaign. Here's how it breaks down:

Custom packages available. We can work with any budget — reach out to discuss your goals and we'll design the right campaign mix.

We provide comprehensive reporting within 2–3 days of campaign completion:

• Engagement metrics — views, likes, comments, shares, reach, and impressions per creator.
• Audience insights — demographics, geolocation, and sentiment analysis from comments.
• Traffic & conversions — click-through rates, website traffic, and conversion data when tracking links are used.
• ROI breakdown — cost-per-engagement, cost-per-click, and estimated reach value.
• Bonus — competitor benchmarking to show how your campaign stacks up against industry averages.

Reports are delivered in an easy-to-read dashboard and PDF format. We're transparent about every metric.

Yes, completely. We handle the entire process end to end:

• Contracts — we draft creator agreements, handle negotiations, and ensure legal compliance so you don't have to.
• Invoicing — you receive one consolidated invoice covering all creators plus our agency fee.
• Payments — we manage all creator payments (INR & international), including tax compliance and payment schedules.
• Dispute resolution — if issues arise (late content, quality concerns), we mediate between you and creators to ensure satisfaction.

Zero friction on your end. You focus on strategy; we handle operations.

Here's exactly how it works:

• Your rate stays full — you always receive your full quoted rate, no deductions.
• No creator fees — creators are never charged anything, ever.
• Brand-side margin — NexCollab earns its fee separately from the brand, on top of your rate.

Payment is straightforward:

• Timeline — paid within 7–14 days of your content going live, once the brand confirms delivery.
• Indian creators — paid via UPI or bank transfer.
• International creators — paid via PayPal or wire transfer.

Applying comes with zero strings attached:

• Free to apply — no fees, no contracts, no exclusivity.
• Work freely — continue working with other agencies or brands independently.
• One ask — just give us a heads-up if you're already in talks with a brand we're pitching.

No strict follower minimum. We evaluate:

• Engagement rate — how actively your audience interacts with your content.
• Niche relevance — how closely your content aligns with AI & Tech.
• Content quality — production value and presentation, not just reach.

A creator with 30K highly engaged AI-niche followers can be a stronger fit than one with 500K general followers.

You own your voice, always:

• Brief, not a script — brands provide key talking points, but scripts are never mandatory.
• Your presentation — how you present the integration is entirely up to you.
• Final say — brands may request a review before publishing, but final creative decisions stay with you.

Nothing is lost if timing doesn't line up right away:

• Active database — your profile stays in our roster and gets matched against new campaigns as they come in.
• We reach out — you'll hear from us the moment a relevant opportunity arises.

Most creators get their first match within 30–60 days of joining.
