Types of Collabs Explained
On Inscend, a "collab" just means a job with a brand. There are three kinds. We explain each one in plain words below.
Paid Campaign (also called a "Job")
This is the simplest one. A brand needs people to post about their product. You post a reel or photo on your own Instagram. The brand pays you money.
- You keep the product (if they send one) AND you get paid.
- How much you earn can depend on how many views your post gets.
- You will find these under "My Jobs" in your My Activity menu.
Barter
"Barter" means trading, not money. The brand sends you a free product. In return, you post about it on your Instagram.
- You do not get cash. You get the product for free.
- Good for creators who want to try new products for free and build their page.
- You will find these under "My Barter" in your My Activity menu.
UGC (User Generated Content)
"UGC" sounds complicated, but it is simple: you make a video or photo for the brand, but you do not have to post it on your own page. The brand uses your content in their own ads.
- You film the video the way the brand asks (for example, "you holding the product and talking about it").
- You send the video file to the brand. You do not need to post it yourself.
- You still get paid money for making it.
- You will find these under "My UGC Applications" in your My Activity menu.
