Cheerful for Creators
Your brand deals, out of your inbox and in one place
A free workspace that does a talent manager's operational job: finds the brand deals in your inbox, knows your rates and preferences, and tracks every deliverable — so nothing slips and more deals close.
Free for creators. No credit card, nothing posted to your accounts.
No manager needed
Everything a talent manager does. None of the 20%.
Most creators can't get a manager until they're already big — and pay a cut of every deal once they do. Cheerful does the operational half from day one, free.
Spotting the real offers
A manager: Reads your inbox and picks the deals worth answering.
Cheerful: AI scans your connected Gmail and turns every brand offer into an organized deal — including the ones buried under newsletters — with verified brands badged.
Knowing what you charge and what you make
A manager: Keeps your rates and content formats in their head.
Cheerful: Your preferences live on your profile — platforms, formats, partnership types (paid, gifting, affiliate, ambassador), and rate ranges — and every deal shows up against them.
Getting you in front of brands
A manager: Pitches you to the brands they happen to know.
Cheerful: Your media kit and the creator directory put your stats in front of brands already running campaigns on Cheerful — deals come to you, not just from your DMs.
Keeping every deal on schedule
A manager: Chases briefs, deadlines, and posting dates for you.
Cheerful: The tracker holds every deliverable and date per deal, and each brand collaboration gets one workspace link with the offer, brief, and content review together.
The cut
A manager: 10–20% of every deal, forever.
Cheerful: Free. You keep 100% of every deal.
What stays human: a great manager's judgment and relationships. Cheerful doesn't replace those — it makes them optional for running your deals professionally.
What you get
The unglamorous half of brand deals, handled
Four things waiting on day one, all free.
A deal inbox, not a buried thread
Connect your Gmail and every brand collaboration email lands in one organized inbox — offer, brief, and back-and-forth together, separated from the rest of your mail. Verified brands are badged so you know who is real before you reply.
A media kit brands actually read
Your follower counts, engagement rate, niches, and recent posts, arranged the way a brand skims them — plus your rates and past partnerships when you choose to show them. Edit it once, keep it current everywhere.
A tracker for what you owe and when
Deliverables, deadlines, and posting dates for each active deal, so "one Reel and three Stories by Friday" never lives only in a DM you have to scroll back for.
One link per brand collaboration
When a brand runs its campaign on Cheerful, you get a single workspace link with the offer, the brief, and content review in one place — accept terms, see feedback, and share drafts without a twelve-email chain.

Common questions
The things creators ask first
- Do I need a talent manager to work with brands?
- No. The operational half of a manager’s job — spotting real offers in your inbox, keeping your rates and preferences straight, putting your stats in front of brands, tracking deliverables — is what Cheerful does, free. A manager’s judgment and relationships are still yours to add if you want them; you just don’t need one to run deals professionally.
- Is Cheerful free for creators?
- Yes. Brands pay to run campaigns on Cheerful; the creator app — deal inbox, media kit, and tracker — is free for creators.
- What does connecting Gmail actually do?
- It lets Cheerful find brand collaboration emails in your inbox and organize them into deals. Nothing is ever sent unless you write and send it yourself.
- Do brands on Cheerful see my media kit?
- Your media kit is yours to share — send the kit to any brand, on or off Cheerful. Brands running campaigns on Cheerful also discover creators through the platform.
- I found a Cheerful media kit page with my stats on it. What is it?
- Some kit pages are generated from public profile data so brands can evaluate creators. Creating a creator account lets you take ownership of your presence — set your own rates, partnerships, and what displays.
