Collab Only is a creator-brand matching platform that connects micro influencers — creators with 1,000–100,000 followers — directly with brands that want their specific niche audience. Instead of cold pitching and waiting for replies, you match with brands who have already expressed interest in working with you.
Micro influencers earn $200–$1,000 per sponsored post in 2026. Creators with 3–5 consistent brand deal clients earn $1,500–$5,000/month from sponsored content alone.
Build your profile. Match with brands. Close deals faster.
The traditional way to get brand deals as a micro influencer is broken.
A micro influencer brand deal is a paid partnership where a brand sponsors a creator with 1,000–100,000 followers to produce and post content to their audience. Brands choose micro influencers because their niche audiences generate 3–7x higher engagement rates than macro or celebrity influencer accounts — at a fraction of the cost.
Getting brand deals the old way means:
With Collab Only you get:
Collab Only reverses the traditional pitch cycle — brands discover you by niche and signal interest, so every deal conversation starts from a position of mutual intent, not cold persuasion.
If you have a defined niche and an engaged audience — even a small one — brands are actively searching for you on Collab Only.
Brands search Collab Only specifically for creators in their target niche — meaning every match is already relevant to your content.
Both sides match before chat opens — eliminating unsolicited messages and ensuring every brand conversation is a real opportunity.
Negotiate and close deals directly with brands. No talent management fees, no platform commission eating into your earnings.
First matches regularly convert to repeat deals and monthly retainers as brands build ongoing creator relationships.
"I'd been cold pitching for six months with maybe a 5% reply rate. First week on Collab Only a brand matched with me and we closed a deal in two days."
"The mutual matching completely changed my experience. Every brand I talk to already knows my niche and wants what I create."
"I went from one-off gifted deals to three paid monthly partnerships in under 90 days. Collab Only made the difference."
Most brands consider micro influencers with 1,000+ followers for brand deals. Meaningful paid deal income typically begins around 5,000–10,000 followers in a defined niche. Engagement rate matters more than total follower count — a 10,000-follower account with 6% engagement will outperform a 50,000-follower account at 0.8%.
Micro influencers with 10,000–100,000 followers typically earn $200–$1,000 per sponsored Instagram or TikTok post in 2026. Rates increase with engagement rate, niche competitiveness, exclusivity requirements, and whether the brand also wants usage rights for paid ads.
No. Most micro influencers manage their own brand deals directly. Platforms like Collab Only handle brand discovery and matching without requiring agency representation. As deal volume scales past $5,000/month, some creators consider management support for negotiation — but it is not a prerequisite.
Creators build a free profile on Collab Only listing their niche, platform, follower count, and content style. Brands searching for micro influencers in that niche discover the profile and signal interest. When both sides match, direct chat opens so you can discuss the deal, rate, and deliverables — with no middlemen involved.
