Creator guide

A local creator is not just an ad slot

A business is looking for someone who understands its place, customers and rhythm. Your role is to translate a real experience into content people can trust.

The right positioning is not promising millions of views. It is showing that you can film, tell a story, respect a brief and create a video the business can actually use.

Skills to build

Local gigs require a strong base: observation, light, framing, hook, short editing and the ability to respect on-site constraints.

  • Show a hook, flow and reason to act in each example.
  • Match examples to the categories you want to target: food, beauty, fitness, outings.
  • Present context for each video without writing a long case study.

Make your profile more convincing

A business decides quickly. Your profile should show the kind of videos you can produce, where you can travel and which formats you master.

  • Sort your videos by business type instead of publication date.
  • Add one sentence about each video's goal: visit, book, reassure, try.
  • Keep weaker examples off the profile even if they got views.

How to talk to a business

The best message is concrete. Explain what you understood about the place, suggest a simple angle and state what you need to film.

  • Avoid vague promises like guaranteed visibility.
  • Suggest a precise format: visit, test, top 3, before-after, behind the scenes.
  • Confirm deliverables, deadlines and usage rights before filming.

Creator guide

Plan a creator gig without grey areas

Before accepting a gig, clarify the brief, price and usage rights. That is what keeps the collaboration readable for both you and the business.

Brief to clarify

A strong brief gives enough context to suggest an angle without turning the gig into a rigid script.

  • Which video example is closest to the business I want to convince?
  • Does the brief request a format already present in my portfolio?
  • Can I show an example with a clear goal, context and result?

Price and deliverables

The rate should follow the actual work: preparation, filming, editing, revisions, urgency and reuse value.

  • Complexity of the requested format compared with examples already produced.
  • Time needed to adapt a restaurant, beauty, fitness or outing format.
  • Delivery of variants when the business wants to test several hooks.

Usage rights

Included uses should be written down before delivery, especially when the video will live beyond an organic post.

  • Right to use past examples as commercial proof.
  • Agreement on formats the business may reuse or adapt.
  • Boundary between inspiration from an example and exact copying of an existing video.

Creator profile checklist

  • A short bio explaining your city, style and formats.
  • At least three public or private video examples.
  • Realistic availability to film at local businesses.
  • A clear response to briefs: proposed angle, timing, deliverables.

Creator questions

How many examples should I show?

Three to six clear examples are often enough. A few well-chosen videos work better than a long portfolio that is hard to scan.

Can unpaid videos be used as examples?

Yes, if they show your real level: framing, light, hook, edit and ability to tell a local experience.

Which examples reassure a business the most?

Examples close to its category: restaurant for restaurant, beauty for studio, fitness for gym, outing for bar or café.
