# How do you build a strong creator profile?

> Your profile is your business card. Brands use it to decide whether you're the right fit for their campaign. Use a clear profile photo, write a bio that says who you are and what you make, connect your social channels, and keep your details up to date. The better your profile, the more often you get picked.

When you apply for a campaign, the brand looks at your profile first. Often they only have a few seconds to decide. A complete, clear profile makes that decision easy.

## 1. Use a good profile photo

Choose a recent, sharp photo where your face is clearly visible. It's the first thing a brand sees, and it makes you recognizable and approachable.

## 2. Write a bio that says what you do

Keep it short and specific. Say who you are, what your niche is (for example food, beauty, sports, parenting or travel) and what kind of content you make: reviews, unboxings, tutorials or lifestyle content. Mention which languages you create in, too. "Mom of two from Utrecht, making honest food and family content in Dutch and English" tells a brand much more than "I love creating content!"

## 3. Connect your social channels

Connect your Instagram, TikTok and/or Snapchat. That way brands can see your content and statistics straight away, without having to ask for screenshots. Check from time to time that your connection is still active. A broken connection means brands can't see your latest content.

## 4. Let your content do the talking

Brands look closely at your recent posts. Make sure your feed shows the kind of content you'd like to make for brands. Pay attention to good lighting, clear sound and a recognizable style. You don't need expensive equipment. A phone and daylight go a long way.

## 5. Keep your details up to date

Check that your address is correct, so products for campaigns arrive at the right place. Make sure your payout details are complete, so you get paid without delay.

## 6. Build up reviews

After every campaign, the brand can leave you a review. Good reviews make you stand out to new brands. The best way to get them is simple: follow the brief, deliver on time and communicate clearly.

## Common mistakes

Watch out for an empty or vague bio, an old or unclear profile photo, socials that aren't connected or whose connection has expired, and applying for campaigns that don't fit your niche.
