BRANDED CONTENT TIPS
Sharpen your branded content game
Just do you
Followers can tell right away when a partnership is out of character for you. So stay true to your style and only partner with brands that really speak to you.
Own your partnerships
When a brand sponsors your content, they’ll expect to see their product front and center. And your followers will appreciate your transparency as well.
Create mobile-friendly content
Always capture video content vertically. And since content is often viewed without sound, try to add copy throughout or enable subtitles in advanced settings.
Prohibited and restricted categories
Certain products, like drugs and weapons, can’t be promoted as branded content. And others can only be promoted with restrictions, like alcohol. See the full list.
Format restrictions
Don’t include pre, mid or post-roll ads in videos or audio content. Don’t include banner ads in videos or images. See what it looks like in our visual guide.
Always disclose paid partnerships
If you’re getting paid in any form for your content, you’ll need to add a Paid Partnership label. Unsure if yours qualifies? Check out our full list of scenarios.

How to earn with branded content
Since you’ll negotiate the terms of every branded content deal, each will be different. But it’s always a good idea to provide the brand with data, like your number of followers, average number likes, views, comments and shares your organic content and past branded content deals have received. All of this will help back up why you deserve a certain rate.
