Collaboration form: let brands pitch you with the facts

Brand pitches reach me through every door: direct messages, comments, forwarded emails. Most say "love your content" and nothing else. I want pitches that carry the deal type, the work and the dates, so I can answer yes or no fast.

How do I filter out the noise?

The form asks for a deal type, a summary and a budget range up front. A pitch with a thin summary and "not decided yet" is easy to skip. Sort the CSV by deal type and read the summary column first. Some call this a collab form, and the idea is the same.

What should a brand tell me before I reply?

Who they are, a website, the work they want, the dates, and whether they expect exclusivity or want to reuse the content. Two tick boxes cover those last two points, because they change the price of a deal.

How would a brand's AI fill it in?

It might ask: "What is your brand?" Then "What kind of deal do you have in mind?" Then "Which dates?" It shows the answers and sends them only after a yes. See agent-fillable forms.

The other side of the table

A brand that wants many creators at once can use a UGC form. A creator looking for funding for a project can send a sponsorship request. More ideas are in forms for creators and podcasters.

Questions

Can I reply to every pitch from the CSV?

The form sends no emails to brands. Read the CSV, then reply from your own inbox to the contact email on each row you want to answer.

Why does the form ask for a budget range?

So you can skip pitches that cannot meet your rates. The choices are loose on purpose, since the form cannot negotiate. Rename them with your own ranges if you like.

How do I stop pitches when a campaign slot is full?

Set `max_responses` to a number you can read, or `close_at` to a date. The form stops taking pitches at that point.
