Delivering content and getting approval: delivery without endless revisions

A good delivery starts with clear rules: how many revision rounds are included, in what form you deliver and when the work counts as accepted. On creatordeal this is set in every booking – and approval triggers the payout.

Why approvals should be clearly defined

Many conflicts between creators and brands don’t come up over the price but over sign-off. The brand wants one more change, and another, the creator feels taken advantage of, and in the end it is unclear when the job is actually done. You can avoid that if it is settled beforehand what gets delivered, how many rounds of changes are included and what counts as approval. Just as important is a rule for the case where the brand doesn’t respond at all. Otherwise you wait for your money even though you delivered long ago.

Limiting revision rounds

Every package on creatordeal states how many revisions are included. The brand sees on the button how many changes are still available. You make revisions within the scope of the original brief – a new idea, a different product or an extra clip is not a revision but additional work. For that you issue an add-on with its own price, which the brand accepts and pays separately, or declines. That keeps the number of revision rounds manageable, and nobody has to guess what is still part of the order.

Delivering content: the preview comes first

You start work as soon as your creator area shows “Paid”; from then on the delivery time from your package runs. If the post is to appear on your channel, you first deliver a preview. To do that, you enter a link, for example to a cloud folder or a file transfer service, that the brand can open. Nothing is public yet at that point. The brand approves the preview or asks for a change. Important: delivery happens through the platform. A delivery outside it, for example by email, can’t be matched to the booking and does not count as a delivery.

From published post to approval

Once the brand has accepted the preview, you publish the post and send the public link. The brand opens it, checks it and confirms that it is live – that triggers the payout. If you post on several channels, you enter the links one after another, and confirmation happens once all of them are in. For a service without a file, such as a photo shoot or an on-site appointment, there is no preview: you mark the service as completed. By the way, approval also starts the term of any usage rights booked for ads.

When the brand doesn’t respond

Every review step has a deadline. If it passes without the brand approving, asking for a change or reporting a problem, the step counts as approved. That applies to the preview just as much as to the published post and to a service you reported as completed. The payout is then triggered as well. So you don’t have to chase anyone to get your order closed. You can see the length of the deadlines in the booking. After completion the booking shows “Approved”, and the brand can leave you a review.

When something goes wrong: request a change or report a problem

If the brand isn’t happy with the delivery, it has two options. Usually it asks for a change within the agreed revisions, and you revise. If it considers the delivery fundamentally unsuitable, it can report a problem. The payout is then put on hold and the case is reviewed. You get the chance to explain your side, including with files. The benchmark is the brief from the order chat. At the end there is a reasoned decision: approval, a revision, or a partial or full refund. Both sides keep the option of going to court.

Questions

Frequently asked.

Key answers at a glance. Everything else is in the guides and in the FAQ.

How do I deliver content to a brand?

On creatordeal you deliver through the booking: first a link to the preview, and after it is approved, the link to the published post. For services, you mark the service as completed.

How many revision rounds do I have to do as an influencer?

As many as agreed in the package. Anything beyond the brief is additional work and is billed as an add-on.

What happens if the brand doesn’t approve my content?

If it doesn’t respond, the step counts as approved once the review deadline has passed. If it reports a problem, the case is reviewed and decided with reasons.

When do I get my money after approval?

Approval triggers the payout to your payout account as soon as verification, tax details (including date of birth) and payout account are complete and the minimum amount for your payout method has been reached.

Can I publish before approval?

No, for posts on your channel the brand approves the preview first. Only after that do you publish and send the link.
