Influencer contract template and the influencer marketing contract a creator signs before a sponsored campaign

Updated

An influencer contract template is the creator's version of the freelancer's client contract: a pitch for sponsored content was accepted, and now the deliverables, the dates, the usage rights, the disclosure duty, the exclusivity and the payment schedule have to be written down. An influencer marketing contract that leaves usage rights vague hands the brand a year of advertising for a post's fee. The pricing proposal tool on this site builds the fee options from your own figures and the proposal and contract template tool works the deposit and payment dates, both free and without an account.

Deliverables and dates

The contract counts the posts, stories, videos or livestreams, names the platforms and sets the publication window and the approval turnaround. A deliverable without a date is a campaign the brand can stretch across a quarter.

Usage rights are the price

How long the brand may reuse the content, on which channels, whether it may run it as a paid ad and whether it may edit it: each is a separate right with a separate price. The influencer contract template should carry them as options, because a post the brand owns forever is worth several times a post it may share once.

Disclosure and exclusivity

The creator discloses the sponsorship in the way the FTC's guidance describes, and the contract says so, so the brand cannot ask otherwise. Exclusivity, a period of not working with competitors, is priced and time-limited or it is not agreed.

Payment dates and the record

A deposit to start, the balance on publication or on a named date. Under New York's Freelance Isn't Free Act a hiring party must pay a freelance worker by the date in the contract or, if it names none, within 30 days of the work being done; a contract that names the date is the one that protects you. Proposal suites charge per seat: from the vendor's own pricing page, Proposify Basic is $29 per user per month and Team is $49 per user per month on monthly billing. Scopedly Pro is $29 per month for the whole studio, and every tool on this site works free with no account.

Questions people ask about influencer contract template

What should an influencer marketing contract include?

Counted deliverables and dates, approval turnaround, usage rights and their term, disclosure, any exclusivity with its period and price, the fee and payment dates, and how either side ends it.

How should a creator price usage rights?

As options: a fee for the post, a higher fee if the brand may reuse it for a stated period, another if it may run it as an ad. The pricing proposal tool builds those options from your figures.

Is a template enough?

The frame, yes. The deliverables, rights and fee come from the specific pitch each time, and this site publishes no legal advice on the wording.
