Common questions
Are these rates real?
They're directional benchmarks from commonly cited market ranges — a starting point for negotiation, not a quote. Real rates depend on niche, audience geography, production effort, exclusivity and timeline.
Why do rates vary so much between creators?
Two creators with the same follower count can price 5× apart: audience quality and geography, niche value (B2B vs. lifestyle), production effort, usage rights and exclusivity all matter more than raw reach.
How do I pay the creator once we agree?
Put the fee and terms in writing (our contract template helps), then pay through Cloudfluencers — Stripe payouts in 135+ currencies with a 4% platform fee deducted from the payout.
