Invitations & Negotiation
Accept brand invites, send insights, set your price, and negotiate in chat.
Open the Explore → Invited To tab. Each invitation shows the brand, the campaign brief, suggested compensation, and deadline. Tap “Accept Invitation” to start the deal, or message the brand first to negotiate.
In the deal chat, tap the attachment icon → choose Instagram Insights → grant access (one-time OAuth) → the app pulls and shares current reach, impressions, engagement, demographics. The brand sees real numbers, not a screenshot you could have edited.
For one-off campaigns, sharing a clean screenshot from your Instagram Pro dashboard also works.
Same flow. TikTok Insights via the attachment menu in chat, OAuth-based pull. Or take screenshots from TikTok Pro analytics and attach as images.
Three reference points, and a floor.
The floor is $10. That is the smallest paid collaboration the platform allows, and a large share of deals sit exactly there. After the 20% payout fee, a $10 deal leaves you $8.
- Start from your own numbers: audience size and engagement, and what you have been paid on past Ainfluencer deals.
- Read the campaign’s budget range and stay inside it unless you have a reason to explain.
- Price the deliverable, not the post. A Reel plus three Stories plus usage rights is not the same job as one static image.
Beware commission-only offers. They are fine when the brand has set up an affiliate programme on Ainfluencer, because then the tracking and the payment run through us. A brand that wants to handle commission themselves, off the platform, is asking you to work with no protection at all.
Yes. Until the brand pays, both sides can still adjust the price and the terms in the chat.
But Waiting Payment is not a green light to start work. The money is not held anywhere yet, and creating or posting content for a brand that has not funded the deal is against the platform terms. Creators have had formal warnings for it.
| Status | Negotiate? | Start work? |
|---|---|---|
| Waiting Brand Approval | Yes | No |
| Waiting Payment | Yes | No |
| Paid and Scheduled | Price is locked unless both sides agree a revision | Yes |
Once the brand has paid, an agreed increase is added to the same deal rather than starting a new one, and the extra is included when you withdraw. So agreeing extra work mid-deal does not cost you the original booking.
Use Extend Deadline on the offer card in the deal chat. The new date has to be in the future.
- Agree the new date with the brand in the chat first. An extension they are expecting is rarely a problem.
- Tap Extend Deadline and set the date.
- Do it before the current date passes.
An agreement in the chat does not move anything by itself. The timer only looks at the date on the deal, so a brand saying no problem, take another week still lets the deal fail two days after the original date unless the date itself is changed.
Share genuine, current data only. Fabricated or out-of-date insights are a Trust & Safety violation and can lead to suspension. The platform also flags suspicious patterns (e.g. screenshots with mismatched dates) so don’t risk it.
Profile → Past Collaborations → + Add. Enter brand name, dates, deliverables, results if you have them. Linking to the published post is optional but increases trust. Brands review this list when deciding whether to send you an invite.
