Creator rates and media kit messages: 14 templates

Thanks for asking. My media kit is here: {{link}}. It covers my audience, past work and what I offer. Tell me what you have in mind and I will send a quote.

When to send: When a brand asks about your audience or rates.

Why it works: It answers fast and moves the talk toward a real scope.

Before I quote, could you tell me the budget you have set aside, {{name}}? It helps me suggest the right package instead of guessing.

When to send: When the brand has not mentioned money.

Why it works: The first number in the room should come from them when possible.

I can offer a few options, {{name}}: one post, a post with Stories, or a bundle across the month. Which sounds closest to what you need?

When to send: When the brief is open.

Why it works: Choices give the brand a way to say yes without haggling over one number.

A quick heads up: my rates changed this year. The new media kit is here: {{link}}. Anything we agreed on earlier stays as agreed.

When to send: When you update prices with past clients.

Why it works: It is honest about the change and protects the old deal.

For the Reel you described, my fee is {{price}}. That covers concept, filming, editing and one round of changes. Happy to walk through what is included.

When to send: After the brief is clear.

Why it works: Listing what the fee covers makes it easier to defend.

Here is what the fee covers, {{name}}: a short concept call, the filmed video, editing, captions and one round of edits. Extra rounds are quoted separately.

When to send: When the brand asks why it costs that much.

Why it works: It shows the work behind the number without arguing.

My fee covers posting on my own channels. If you want to run the content as an ad or put it on your site, that is a separate usage fee. Tell me where and for how long, {{name}}.

When to send: As soon as the brand mentions ads or reposting.

Why it works: Usage and posting are two different jobs with two different prices.

If you would like me to stay away from similar products for a while, {{name}}, that can be added as an exclusivity fee. How long are you thinking?

When to send: When exclusivity shows up in the brief.

Why it works: It frames the restriction as work with a price.

My usual terms: half before I start and half on delivery. The invoice is due within {{count}} days. Does that work on your side?

When to send: Right after the fee is agreed.

Why it works: Terms stated early do not feel like a fight later.

I can make {{date}} work, {{name}}, but that is a rush slot and it carries an extra fee. A deadline a week later keeps the standard price.

When to send: When the brand wants it very fast.

Why it works: It gives them a clear choice between speed and price.

I appreciate the offer, {{name}}, but it is below my rate for this scope. I could reduce what I deliver to fit your budget, or keep the scope and adjust the price. Which do you prefer?

When to send: When the budget is low.

Why it works: You change the scope, not the value of your time.

Thanks, {{name}}. I am glad to try {{product}}, but I cannot make a full video for product alone. Product only works for a mention in Stories. For a Reel I would need a fee.

When to send: When a gifted offer asks for a lot of work.

Why it works: It keeps the relationship and draws a line.

Since we have worked together before, {{name}}, I am happy to look at a package rate for a few posts. Tell me how many you have planned and I will put it together.

When to send: With a brand that wants more than one post.

Why it works: Repeat work is a fair place to offer a better rate, on your terms.

That works for me, {{name}}. Please put the fee and the deliverables in the agreement and I will sign this week.

When to send: When you reach a number you accept.

Why it works: It closes the talk and moves it to paper.
