How to Find Campaigns and Send Offers
Which Explore tab to start from, what to read before you pitch, and why three offers is not a sample.
What this guide covers
The Explore tabs, and what each one is for
Explore is your marketplace. The tabs are not just filters, they answer different questions.
| Tab | What is in it | Use it when |
|---|---|---|
| All | Every live campaign | Browsing |
| Affiliate | Commission-based campaigns | You want ongoing income rather than a one-off fee |
| Gifting | Free products for a post | You are happy to be paid in product |
| Most paid | The highest paying campaigns | You are pricing yourself and want to see the ceiling |
| For You | Matched to the account you selected | Your best hit rate. Start here |
| Invited to | Campaigns a brand invited you to | Always check this first. An invitation means they already want you |
| My country, My category | Narrowed to your location or niche | Local or niche work |
The account selector at the top matters more than it looks. Campaigns are matched to the selected account, so if you have an Instagram and a TikTok, switching changes what you see and what you can offer with.
Reading a campaign before you spend time on it
Most of what decides whether a deal goes well is visible before you send anything.
What they actually want
Post their content, create and publish, or create content only. These are very different amounts of work.
The format and platform
A Reel is not a Story. Check which, and how many.
Whether a product is shipped
If so, you need a saved address and you need to be in a country they ship to.
How long the post must stay up
Permanent, temporary, or negotiated per offer. This is a real term on the deal, not a preference.
A link in your bio
Some campaigns require it. That is real estate you may be using for something else.
The brand’s profile
An empty About Us tells you something about how organised the deal will be.
Pricing your offer
The floor is $10, and after the 20% payout fee that leaves you $8.
Start from your own numbers
Audience size and engagement, and what you have actually been paid here before.
Stay inside the stated range
Unless you have a reason you can explain in one line.
Price the deliverable
A Reel plus three Stories plus usage rights is not one post.
Charge for usage rights
If they want to run it as a paid ad, that is a different product. The offer form cannot record it, so say it in the pitch.
Be careful with commission-only offers. They are legitimate when the brand runs their affiliate programme on Ainfluencer, because the tracking and payment run through us. A brand that wants to handle it themselves, off the platform, is asking you to work with no protection at all.
Writing a pitch that gets answered
Brands receive a lot of offers. They answer the ones that obviously read the brief.
| Instead of | Write |
|---|---|
| Hi, interested in collaborating | What you would actually make, in one sentence |
| Your follower count | Why your audience fits their product |
| A price with no reasoning | The deliverable the price covers |
| Asking to continue by email | Nothing. Contact details are blocked before payment and the message will not reach them |
Volume matters as much as quality. Send offers daily and to many campaigns. Three offers is not a sample you can judge anything by, and a creator sending five a week with a personalised note will outperform one sending thirty identical ones.
What happens after you send
Your offer arrives already priced and already waiting for the brand’s payment. Paying is how they accept.
| Status | What it means | What you do |
|---|---|---|
| Waiting Brand Approval | They have not responded yet | Keep sending others. Do not hold your calendar |
| Waiting Your Approval | They countered your terms | Accept, Edit back, or Reject |
| Waiting Payment | They accepted the terms but have not paid | Do not start work. Message them once |
| Paid & Scheduled | The money is held by Ainfluencer | Now start |
| Rejected | One side ended it | Move on |
Rejecting a counter does not end the deal. The original terms stand and the brand can still pay them.
If nobody is responding
Usually volume and personalisation rather than anything wrong with your account. But check the account first, because it is free to check.
Is your account Active?
An account in Draft or Pending is invisible to brands, however good it is. The status is on your Profile.
Is your media kit finished?
Niche, country, language and audience data are the search filters brands use. Incomplete means unfindable.
Are you sending enough?
Daily, to many campaigns. Not a few a week.
Are you personalising?
Naming the product and the fit is the single biggest lever.
Is your price realistic for your size?
A large ask from a small account is the quickest way to be skipped.
Check the Invited to tab before anything else. An invitation means a brand already picked you out, so those convert far better than cold offers and they are easy to miss.
