Two or three deals at once is where things slip: a missed draft date, a forgotten invoice, a brand still running your ad months later. Brands notice, and they renew with creators who make them look organised.
Track six things for every deal
- Stage: pitched, negotiating, contract signed, creating, submitted, revisions, approved, posted, invoiced, paid.
- Content due date, and when the brand must approve by.
- Revisions: how many rounds are included and how many you've used.
- Usage rights: what was agreed and the date they end.
- Exclusivity: the category and end date, so you don't sign a clashing deal.
- Invoice: when you sent it, when it's due, and whether it's paid.
The weekly ten minutes
Once a week, look at what's due in the next 7 days, what's waiting on the brand, any rights ending soon, and any invoice past its due date. That's the whole system.
FAQs
How do creators keep track of brand deals?
One row per deal with its stage, content deadline, revisions, usage rights end date, exclusivity and invoice status, checked weekly.
What's the most common thing creators forget?
Usage rights end dates and unpaid invoices: both cost money, and both are easy to track.
