The most common red flags
- They ask for money upfront.
- They want the account, email or payouts in their name.
- Nothing in writing, or fine print they won't explain.
- Guaranteed earnings ("you'll make 10k a month").
- Pressure to make content you don't want to.
- Very long contracts with no way out, or huge penalties.
- You can't tell who's behind it: no company, no names, no reviews.
10 questions to ask before signing
- What's the commission, and is it on gross or net?
- Exactly which services are included?
- Who replies to messages, and under what rules?
- How will you get traffic?
- Do the account, email and payouts stay in my name?
- What access do you need and how do you protect it?
- How often do I get reports and what's in them?
- How long is the contract and how do I end it?
- What happens to my content and data if I leave?
- Can I talk to a creator who works with you?
What a good contract says
A clear commission and what it's calculated on, included services, duration, reasonable exit terms, confidentiality, and that you remain the account holder. If anything is unclear, ask. This isn't legal advice: if in doubt, talk to a lawyer.
Local or remote agency
The agency doesn't need to be in your city: almost all the work is remote. What matters is language, understanding your market and having a team online when your fans are (mostly US hours).
