Canonical: https://lgi365.com/glossary/paid-collaboration

A paid collaboration includes an agreed cash fee for defined creator work, separate from product value or performance commission.

## Definition

A paid collaboration is a brand partnership with a stated cash payment for agreed creator work. The fee should be connected to a clear scope such as a video, photo set, review, tutorial or content asset. Product value, affiliate earnings and advertising rights are separate items unless the written agreement combines them explicitly.

## Example

A creator may receive $500 for producing two videos, while product shipping and a 30-day advertising license are negotiated as separate parts of the deal.

## Questions

### Does a campaign budget equal my creator fee?

Not necessarily. A campaign budget can cover several creators, products or media costs. Confirm the individual creator fee, currency, deliverables and payment trigger.
