Funds in Escrow Verified Creators AI-Crafted Messages
Traditional Influencer Marketing is Broken
Agencies charge thousands, influencers ghost you, and you have no idea where your money actually went. There's a better way.
Sky-High Agency Fees
Agencies charge $5k–$50k per campaign. Most of your budget goes to the middleman, not the creators actually promoting you.
One Creator, One Bet
Traditional sponsorships put all your budget on a single influencer. If they underperform or flake, your entire investment is wasted.
No Proof of Work
Agencies send a PDF report weeks later. You never see exactly which creators promoted you or where your brand was actually mentioned.
Affordable Micro-Influencer Marketing at Scale
Instead of betting on one expensive influencer, spread your budget across dozens of YouTube micro-creators for authentic, widespread social proof — starting from just $50.

YouTube Influencer Marketing FAQ
Everything you need to know about hiring YouTube creators and running a sponsorship campaign on CollabPals.
How does pricing work?
You set your own budget starting from $50. Your budget is distributed across the creators who participate in your campaign. Each creator earns a fixed amount per completed shoutout. You only pay when work is delivered and verified by our team — your funds are held in escrow until then.
How do you verify the creators?
Every creator on CollabPals has their YouTube channel connected via Google's official OAuth. We verify their subscriber count and content history to ensure they are legitimate creators. Every completed shoutout is also manually reviewed by our CollabPals team before payment is released.
How fast will I see results?
After you place your order, our team reviews your campaign and matches you with the best creators. First shoutouts can start arriving quickly, but full delivery depends on your budget size, targeting, and the number of shoutouts ordered. We work to deliver as fast as possible and you can track every completed shoutout in your dashboard as it happens.
Can I target a specific audience?
Yes. When creating your campaign, you describe your ideal audience using keywords (e.g., “makeup, skincare, beauty tips”). Our team uses these keywords to match your campaign with the most relevant creators. You can also select creator tiers based on subscriber count.
What if there's an issue with a shoutout?
Our CollabPals team manually reviews every shoutout before payment is released. If something doesn't meet your campaign requirements, it won't be approved. If you spot a concern with a completed shoutout, you can contact our team and we'll investigate. In some cases, we may re-release budget so new creators can complete replacement shoutouts.
Do I need to create an account?
You can start creating your campaign right away without an account. After checkout, we'll create a brand account for you so you can track your campaign, see completed shoutouts, and manage everything from your dashboard.
What happens after I place my order?
After you place your order, three things happen: (1) Our team reviews your campaign within 24 hours to make sure everything looks great. (2) We match you with the best creators for your niche based on your targeting keywords and selected tiers. (3) As creators complete their shoutouts, you can track every one of them with direct links in your brand dashboard. You’ll receive updates as work is delivered and verified.
