# Should you pay influencers a fixed price or per post?

> With pay per post you pay a fixed amount for each individual post, which keeps things flexible for a first test. A fixed package price covers several posts or a whole campaign and is more predictable for longer collaborations.

When structuring influencer compensation, brands often wonder whether to pay per individual piece of content or agree on a fixed package price. Both models have clear advantages depending on campaign goals and scope.

## 1. Pay-Per-Post Pricing

Paying per post means compensating the creator for a single deliverable, such as one Instagram Reel, a TikTok video, or a Story set:

- **Best for:** Testing new creators, short-term promotional boosts, or smaller campaigns.
- **Benefits:** Offers flexibility and low upfront commitment for brands experimenting with new niches.

## 2. Fixed Package Pricing (Bundled Rates)

Fixed pricing involves agreeing on a total budget for a broader scope, such as a multi-month partnership, a series of posts, or a dedicated campaign package:

- **Best for:** Long-term ambassador programs, multi-channel campaigns, or ongoing UGC creation.
- **Benefits:** Creators often offer bundled discounts for multi-post packages, delivering better value and higher campaign consistency.

## 3. Hybrid and Performance-Based Models

Many brands combine fixed or per-post fees with performance incentives (such as affiliate codes or bonuses based on views and conversions) to align creator goals with campaign ROI.
