Rate Card Fields, Empty Rates: Make Money as a Content Creator
Pitch a brand only after the card lists deliverable, revisions, usage, and disclosure. The amounts stay blank until you write them.
A brand pipeline is a card with four fields filled and the price written by you. A follower count is not a field.

The card
- Deliverable: the file or the post.
- Revisions: a number.
- Usage: where the brand may reuse it, and for how long, in their words or yours.
- Disclosure: the line their rule or the platform rule requires. If you have not opened the rule, the line stays blank and you do not send the pitch.
Path choice
Whether you should be on brand work at all is the three paths. This page is the card, not the path decision.
FAQ
What day rate should I use?
None from this page. Write a number you can finish the deliverable for.
Can AI write the pitch?
Yes, after the four fields exist. It must not invent the usage or the disclosure.
What if they ask for unlimited revisions?
That fails the card. Change the number or decline.
