Why brands look to Nigerian creators
Nigeria has a young, mobile first audience and a culture of talking confidently about products. Fashion, beauty, hair, food, fintech and entertainment brands all use creators to speak in a way that feels like a friend.
Brands outside Africa also search for creators with a Nigerian look and accent for campaigns aimed at the diaspora. Your location and recording languages help them find you.

Pricing in dollars and receiving the payout
You set your own price in US dollars for a video up to 30 seconds, up to 60 seconds, a set of five photos and raw footage. A dollar price keeps your quote steady when local prices move.
The brand pays into escrow before you film. After approval, the payout is released through PayPal or Wise, or by bank transfer to the details saved in your account. Check which option works best for your bank and your situation before your first order. Reporting your income is your own responsibility under the rules that apply to you.
Beginning without a big audience
You are hired for the video, not for your follower count. Film in bright light, keep the sound clean and speak the way you normally do. If you record in English, Pidgin or a mix, say so in your profile.
The basics, the same for every creator
Free to join
Your profile, your samples and your place in the catalog cost nothing. The marketplace fee is paid by the brand on top of your rate.
Your rates, in US dollars
You price a short video, a longer video, a photo set and raw footage yourself, and you can change the prices at any time. Brands see your rate before they invite you.
Paid after approval
The brand pays into escrow before you film. When the brand approves the video, the money is released to you through PayPal or Wise, or by bank transfer, to the details you save in your account.
