Applying to your first project
How to find and apply to projects on the Marketplace, how long brands take to respond, and how to get approved for your first project.
Go to the Marketplace, pick a project that fits you and apply. Keep applying, read each brief carefully and write a short, personal message — that's what gets most creators their first project.
🔍 Finding projects
- You'll only see projects that match your profile (gender, age, categories and languages).
- Use the filters to narrow them down by video type, length, format, product type and whether there's a social post.
- Sort by Most recent or Highest reward.
- The full pay for the project is shown before you apply.

📝 How to apply
Explore the Marketplace
Go to the Marketplace and explore the available projects.
Read the brief
Read the brand's Instructions and all the details on the project page carefully, so you know exactly what the brand is looking for — and make sure you meet all the requirements.

Apply
Send your application to the brand: choose Apply with a message (recommended) or Quick apply without one.
Add a personal message
Write a short, personal message (at least 100 characters) explaining why you're a great fit. It helps the brand see what makes you different and really improves your chances. Contact details and links aren't allowed in the message.
You can apply to as many projects as you like — the more you apply to, the better your chances of being picked.
⏳ How long until I hear back?
Don't worry if your application stays pending for a few days.
- Brands usually pick creators within the first few days after a project launches, but there's no fixed deadline. Some take a little longer, depending on how they work.
- If the project fills up with other creators, your application closes automatically.
🚀 How to improve your chances
- Apply to lots of projects. On average, creators get approved after applying to around 25+ projects — so don't be discouraged.
- Look after your portfolio. Show your style, creativity and quality.
- Keep your profile complete and up to date, with videos and all your details.
- Make your message count. Show enthusiasm, professionalism and that you've read the brief.
Good luck — every application is another step in your journey as a creator!
