Applying to projects and getting approved for your first one
How to find and apply to projects on the Marketplace, how long brands take to respond, and tips to get approved for your first project.
Go to the Marketplace, pick a project that suits you and apply. Getting approved for your first project is mostly about applying often and showing brands why you're a great fit.
🔎 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.
- You'll see the full pay for the project before you apply.

✍️ How to apply
Browse the Marketplace
Go to the Marketplace and browse the available projects.
Read the brief
Read the brand's Instructions and the rest of the project page carefully and check you meet all the requirements, so you know exactly what the brand is looking for.
Apply to the project
Scroll to the Apply section and choose how to apply:
- Apply with a message (recommended) — at least 100 characters on why you're a great fit. It helps the brand see what makes you different and really boosts your chances.
- Quick apply — without a message

No contact details
Contact details and links aren't allowed in your application message.
You can apply to as many projects as you like — and the more you apply to, the better your chances.
⏳ How long brands take to answer
Don't worry if your application stays pending for a few days.
- Brands usually choose creators within the first few days after a project goes live. Some take a little longer, depending on how they work — there's no fixed deadline.
- If the project fills up with other creators, your application is closed automatically.
🌟 How to boost your chances
- Apply to lots of projects. On average, creators get approved after applying to around 25+ projects, so don't be discouraged.
- Polish your portfolio so it shows your style, creativity and quality.
- Keep your profile complete and up to date.
- Make your message count: show enthusiasm, professionalism and that you've read the brief.
Good luck — every application is another step forward.
