Embarking on your journey with Heylist opens a world of opportunities for creative collaborations. If you're wondering how to get started and land your first collaboration, you're in the right place. Here's a simple guide to set you on the path to success.
After setting up your profile, relax and keep an eye on your email or Heylist dashboard. Invitations depend on available campaigns and how your niche, location, and audience match the brand’s needs.
As we build and grow, your feedback and ideas are invaluable. Heylist is dedicated to empowering our community, of which you are an essential part. If you have suggestions or feedback, please don't hesitate to share them. Together, we're shaping the future of influencer marketing, making Heylist a platform that truly resonates with creators like you.
On Heylist, brands come to you — you don't apply to a public job board, so an empty dashboard right after sign-up is normal rather than a sign something is broken. Opportunities start arriving once you're discoverable, so check these in order: finish all four onboarding steps, connect at least one social account and make sure it doesn't show as disconnected, select your interest categories (these drive matching), and complete your shipping and personal details so brands can actually invite you.
After that it's a question of fit and timing — invitations depend on which brands are running campaigns in your niche, your location, and your audience.
