Creator marketplace is a network which includes content creators who intend to work directly with brands. It is a platform that allows brands to collaborate with content creators on the basis of certain factors such as reach, engagement, demographics and more. This makes the process of collaborating with influencers somewhat easier as it rules out hours of looking for trending hashtags and searching for influencers whose values resonate with that of a brand. A creator marketplace is like an agency as it can make a brand feel safe and covered. A brand can have access to a number of diverse creators. Below are some advantages of a creator marketplace. 

Saves Time 

A lot of time can be saved because manual searching of influencers is not involved. Interested creators send proposals to a business and a business can set up filters based on its different needs for a campaign. A business can create an application page and influencers can apply. It will take a business only a couple of days to have a campaign ready. 

Influencers are Legitimate 

For influencers, the marketplace is application based on invite-only. Fake followers and engagement are eliminated. The criteria have changed, influencers need a minimum number of followers and views. The required number of views should be within a month. The content published has to be original. Hence, the influencers are more legit and authentic. The numbers presented about creators are accurate. No third parties such as managers or agents are involved, and direct communication helps a business to have complete control over the process.
