Connections is here! This makes it a lot easier to reach out to creators and connect on the platform without being in a collaboration. How does connections work exactly? Keep on reading to find out more.
Find your creator and connect
First things first, you need to go and explore the network to find the creator you wish to connect with. Use the filter options to make your search more comfortable.
Click and connect
Once you found your creator all you got to do is click the invite to connect button on their avatar. It's next to the button to add them to your favourites. You can recognize it by the add + icon.
The creator will immediately receive an email notification about your request to connect with them. They can either accept or decline it. If you wish, you can still revoke your invitation by clicking the clock button.
You can track your invites on the connections pending page. It will look like this:
Go and chat!
As soon as the creator accepts your invite you can find them under connections. From here you can start a chat in the messenger by clicking the chat icon on their avatar.
It will immediately take you to the messenger where you can chat with each other and discuss partnerships, collaborations and potential campaigns!
Why you should use connections
You may ask why you should use connections? We strongly believe connections comes with lots of benefits. Let me tell you why:
1. Building your relationships with influencers from day 1.
Connecting with influencers can help you start a long and sustainable relationship with influencers. Sending them the invite shows your dedication.
2. Know what to expect
Connecting can help you get to know what influencers expect from you as a brand. By connecting with influencer you get a change to discuss what influencers are expecting from a brand, think about the deliverables, when they'll receive the product, what kind of reward they were thinking about it. This may help you to scale your collaborations better upfront and make things clear beforehand.
3. Ask away!
If you already have a campaign in mind, but got some questions for a certain influencer, connections can help with that!
If the influencer accepts your invite you can ask each other questions regarding potential campaigns. This way you can see what's possible for both of you. Or if you're just curious to know anything, connections is the way to go!
