Rate benchmark

What a brand should pay you, from published rates rather than a guess.

Set your platform, audience and what the brand is actually asking for. The band comes from surveyed market rates for your follower tier — you cannot type a number in, which is the point: a figure you chose is not evidence, and a figure you did not is.

The deal

You are not lending your audience, so there is no posting fee. The brand is publishing your work, so the usage licence is the whole negotiation.

Base fee per reel$193
1 × video at $193$193
Total before usage rights$193

Micro creators are typically quoted $100–$200 for this deliverable, content only, before usage rights. You sit 68% of the way through the tier, and Beauty & skincare pays toward the upper end of it — which moves you inside the range rather than above it.

Usage rights stack on top of this base, because the brand is taking the asset away and running it as an ad.

Cross-checks

Add your median views per post. Reach, not follower count, is what a brand is actually buying — and on short-form it is the number that moves the price most.

Publish a rate card, or find someone to make this.

The benchmark above is public. An account is what lets a creator publish a rate card and a brand send a brief — and negotiate to a number that generates a contract.
