Getting started for creators

Joining Kocolink is free. You need to be 18 or older to take paid collaborations.

1. Create your account

Open the app and choose Join as a creator. Enter your email, a password, your display name and, optionally, your country. Confirm that you are 18 or older and accept the terms.

2. Verify your email

We send a verification link to your email. It is valid for 24 hours. Until your email is verified you will see a “Check your inbox” screen; you can resend the email from there.

When you open the link, your creator workspace is created and your starter AI credits are added. You can use them in the studio.

3. Complete your profile

In Profile, add:

• A short bio, your country and the languages you create in.
• Your niches, such as kitchen, travel, beauty or tech (up to 10).
• A rate card: your price in USD for each deliverable you offer. Leave a deliverable empty if you do not offer it.
• Portfolio links (up to 10).

Brands see this profile when you apply or when they search for creators. They never see your email address.

4. Verify your TikTok account

Most briefs only accept verified accounts. Add your handle and follow Verifying your TikTok account. Once verified, your follower count, average views and engagement rate appear on your profile.

5. Find a brief and apply

Open Opportunities to browse open briefs. You can filter by niche, market, collaboration type, minimum fee and gifted-only. Each brief shows:

• The fee per creator, deliverables and deadlines.
• Usage rights and whether #ad disclosure is required.
• Whether you are eligible, and if not, why (for example, followers below the minimum or a market mismatch).

To apply, choose which verified account you will post from, write a short pitch, and add your quote if the collaboration is paid. You can withdraw an application while it is pending or shortlisted.

Brands can also invite you directly. Invitations appear in Opportunities, where you can accept or decline them.

When you are hired

You get an email and a notification, and the order appears in Orders. The fee for a paid collaboration is already held in escrow. Continue with Using templates and the studio.
