Questions
Do I need a big following?
No. There’s no follower minimum. Pitch the briefs that fit you.
Can I charge different brands different prices?
Yes. Your storefront shows your standard packages, and you can counter any offer a brand sends.
What happens to the storefront I made on this page?
If you join from it, your name, handle, niche and rates fill in your setup. Until then they stay in this browser and are sent nowhere.
Do I have to take every deal through Alamut?
No. There’s no lock-in and no exclusivity. Take deals anywhere else too.
Can I try it first?
Yes. The demo account is a full creator workspace with open briefs and sample deals, and needs no sign-up.
