Guided walkthrough

How AdReady
actually works.

Set up, get discovered, negotiate, and get paid. Pick your role and follow along. Everything below is live. Click it, drag it, play with the numbers.

1 Getting started

Build a profile brands can't scroll past

Sign up, then add your platforms, audience, niches, formats, and rates. A complete profile ranks higher in search and pulls more requests. You only need Stripe connected before your first payout, not to get discovered.

Tick the boxes and watch your visibility climb.

Live · Profile completeness
0% complete. Add details to appear in brand search.
2 Pricing

Set your rates. Keep 100% of them.

Price every format you offer. Not sure where to start? The Rate Calculator benchmarks a range from your audience and views. Drag the numbers around.

Live · Rate estimator
Estimated rate range
Suggested list rate

A guide, not a rule. You set your own rate. Brands pay it in full, with AdReady's 15% fee on top.

3 Finding work

Two ways to land work

Brands find you in Browse Creators and send a deal directly, or you browse open campaigns and apply. A complete, active profile makes the first one happen more often.

Get found

Keep your niches, formats, and rates current so you surface in the right searches.

Go find it

Filter open campaigns by category and payout, and apply to the ones that fit.

4 Deals

Accept, counter, or decline

Every deal starts as a request. Nothing is booked and no money moves until you accept. Try the controls on this real offer.

5 Production

Know exactly what to make

Each deal has a script mode that tells you how much freedom you have and whether anything needs sign-off before you record. Tap through the three.

Live · Script modes

Once your script (if any) is approved, an Upload Deliverable button appears on the deal card. Upload the final file and the brand reviews it.

6 Getting paid

48-hour payouts, protected by escrow

The brand's money is charged up front and held safely. You're paid when they approve, or automatically after the 72-hour review window if they don't respond. Press play to watch it move.

1Getting started

Set up your brand

Create your brand account with your company details and logo. Then browse creators, build briefs, and book. Budgets are always protected by escrow until you approve the work.

2Booking

Find & book creators directly

Browse by platform, niche, and audience. Open a profile to see rates and formats, pick what you want, and send a deal request. Book several creators or bundle multiple reads into a package.

Target

Filter to the audience you actually want to reach.

Reach out

Send a direct request, or invite creators to an open campaign.

3Brief

A brief that gets accepted

The more direction you give, the more likely a creator accepts and delivers what you pictured. Tick what you'll include and watch your brief strengthen.

Live · Brief strength
Add detail. A thin brief gets fewer acceptances.

You can edit the brief freely for 48 hours after a creator accepts. After that, changes are agreed in messages.

4Cost

A flat 15%. That's it.

At checkout you pay the creator's rate plus a flat 15% fee, and the full amount goes into escrow. Nothing releases until you approve. Enter a rate to see your total.

Live · Cost calculator
Creator's rate (paid in full)$2,400
AdReady fee (15%)$360
Total charged to escrow$2,760

The 15% covers escrow, payment processing, and dispute protection. It's your only cost on top of the creator's rate.

5Timelines

No one is left waiting

You choose the script mode when you book. Every window below exists so a deal never stalls.

7Scale

Run campaigns at scale

Book multiple creators, group reads into packages, and track every deal, budget, and delivery from one dashboard. Each one is individually protected by escrow.

Getting started

Which kind of agency are you?

Pick one. The rest of the walkthrough adapts to how you actually work.

1Roster

Bring your roster on your way

Three ways to get creators onto AdReady, from fully hands-off to fully hands-on:

01
Invite them

Share one invite link. Creators sign up already linked to your agency.

02
Request an existing creator

Ask to manage a creator who already has an account. They approve, and their deals flow to you.

03
Build and own the account

Create and run a creator's account yourself. Later, hand it over so they can claim it and see every deal you ran on their behalf. Nothing is hidden.

Access runs both ways. A creator can grant your agency anything from view-only to full control. Try the levels:

Live · Access the creator grants
See deal requests & messages
Negotiate & accept on their behalf
Upload deliverables
Edit rates, formats & profile
Handle payouts (collect mode)
2Control

Decide who confirms each deal

Run everything from one dashboard, and set per creator whether you lock in deals or they do. Flip it:

Live · Deal confirmation
3Payouts

Splits that run themselves

Set your commission once and payouts split automatically, or switch to Agency collects and receive the full payout to disburse yourself. Enter a deal to see the split.

Live · Commission split
Agency commission$800
Creator receives$3,200
Total deal payout$4,000

In split mode each creator needs their own Stripe. In collect mode only the agency needs Stripe, and we show the net owed to each creator with per-creator statements and a CSV export.

4Trust

Every roster deal is protected

Every deal your creators run carries the same guarantees: escrow on the budget, the 48h brief-edit and 72h delivery windows, dispute resolution, and automatic refunds if a deal is cancelled before production. Per-creator statements and CSV exports keep your books clean.

1Clients

Your whole brand roster in one place

Book creators for each client brand from your agency dashboard. Deals are tied to the client, budgets sit in escrow, and every client is visible in one pipeline. No spreadsheets, no guessing.

2Cost

No separate agency fee

Every deal carries the same flat 15% brand fee. There is no extra charge for running through an agency. How you bill or mark up to your client is your arrangement. AdReady's charge is the flat 15% on each deal, and every budget still sits in escrow until the work is approved.

Want the numbers? The creator side of this walkthrough has a live cost breakdown for the 15% fee.

3Trust

Every client deal is protected

Every deal you run for a client carries the same guarantees: escrow on the budget, the 48h brief-edit and 72h delivery windows, dispute resolution, and automatic refunds if a deal is cancelled before production. Per-client statements and CSV exports keep your books clean.
