How to find paid collaborations with brands?

You create content and want to level up: paid collaborations, serious brands, and — at the right time — an agent. The right entry point depends on where you are.

Network or agent: where are you?

Two situations, two solutions:

—You’re starting out or still get few requests → join a creator network. It's the natural entry: you access opportunities (product tests, gifting, affiliation, paid campaigns) when a brand matches your profile, with no exclusivity.
—You already get brand requests or have ongoing collaborations → it's time to consider an agent. A dedicated agent only makes sense when there's already traction to structure and grow — not to land your very first collab.

What an agent really does

A dedicated agent defends your interests, negotiates your rates, frames the legal side, handles payments and actively seeks new opportunities to grow your revenue — while you focus on your content. It's support to professionalise and accelerate an already-launched activity.

How to land (and keep) paid collaborations

—Polish your media kit: audience, stats, content examples, formats.
—Clarify your niche (tech, smart home, gaming, lifestyle, finance…) — brands look for relevance.
—Show proof of conversion: not just views, but "where to buy?" in the comments.
—Be responsive — it's a key criterion. Brands re-work with creators who reply fast, hit deadlines and respect the brief. Responsiveness often makes the difference in being (re)selected.

Working with JAIA

At JAIA we work with consumer tech, home, sport and lifestyle brands across France, Benelux and the UK, on recurring campaigns. The entry point:

—Join the creator network — to access opportunities, with no exclusivity (open to all).
—Join our affiliate programmes — earn a commission on the sales your links and codes generate, even with a small audience.
Key takeaway

Starting out or want to catch opportunities → the network. Want to earn from your recommendations → affiliate programmes. Either way, responsiveness is your best ally.
