Now boarding — For Creators
The professional network for creators.
Nobody hands creators a job. No HR, no references — just an audience you built one upload at a time. Handle is the professional layer that work deserves: a verified profile, a track record you own, and a network of peers who get it.
UGC, nano, micro, full-time — no follower minimums · Free
1.0 — Your storefront
One professional profile. All your socials, connected.
Bring Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, Twitch, Kick, and Snapchat onto one profile. It becomes the media kit brands actually read: your reach, your niches, your rates, and your past collabs in one place. No more pasting screenshots into a deck. Link it from your bio and let it pitch for you.
Make UGC? Your videos live on brand accounts — your track record lives here.

2.0 — Your network
A professional network, not a gig feed.
Connect with the creators you work with, exchange endorsements that live on your profile, and see which businesses viewed you. Whether you make UGC, run a nano or micro channel, or create full-time — your relationships are part of your career, and Handle keeps them in one place.
Businesses are shifting budgets toward smaller creators. When they come looking, a professional presence is what gets found.

4.0 — Your check, intact
Keep 100% of what you make.
When a brand pays you on Handle, you receive the full deal value. The platform fee comes out of the brand's budget on top of yours, never out of your check. No subscription, no paid tier to get seen. The price you quote is the price you get.
100%of your quoted deal hits your account
5.0 — Paid on approval
Get paid the day your work is approved.
The brand is charged the full amount through Stripe before you start — the money has already moved, so you're never working on a promise to pay later. The day your work is approved, the payout is released — money Stripe is already holding. And nothing happens quietly: every funding, release, and refund is logged against the contract you both e-signed — milestone by milestone, in the Deal Room.

6.0 — Monthly retainers
One brand. Every month. Already funded.
Some brand relationships shouldn’t end after one post. A monthly retainer books a set of deliverables every month — and every month is escrowed before it starts. The new month’s payment moves before you make a thing; deliver, and it releases. Months renew automatically on the brand’s saved card, each delivered month adds platform-verified results to your track record, and when the term wraps, the brand decides whether to renew looking at receipts — not vibes.

9.0 — Handle Score
A track record you own.
Every deal you close builds your Handle Score (real business ratings on completed work) and your public portfolio: each closed deal gets a clean summary page at a shareable URL. Link it from your bio, send it to a brand, use it as proof of work. Start at 2K followers or 200. The proof carries with you as you grow, and it doesn’t reset when the next platform launches. It starts recording the day you join — and it can’t be backfilled.
FAQ
Questions, answered.
What does Handle cost me?
Nothing — free to join, free to stay, and there’s no paid “Pro” tier to get seen. The platform fee is charged to the business on top of your rate — you keep 100% of what you quote.
Who sets my rate?
You do. The price you quote is the price you’re paid.
How many followers do I need?
There’s no minimum. Businesses filter by what matters to them — niche, engagement, track record — and plenty of campaigns specifically want smaller creators with tight communities.
I’m a UGC creator — is Handle for me?
Especially. UGC work is published on brand accounts, so your own pages never show your track record — your Handle profile does. Every deal that runs through Handle becomes a verified entry on your profile, escrow is funded before you film, and you can bring clients you already work with: send a deal invite and the contract, escrow, and payment all run through Handle. No follower minimums, ever.
How do businesses find me if I’m new?
Every new creator with a complete profile and a linked platform rotates through the “New on Handle” showcase at the front of business discovery until your first few deals close. After that, your Handle Score does the talking. Visibility is built in — never bought.
When do I actually get paid?
The day your work is approved. The business funds the deal up front through Stripe before you start — so approval, not invoice-chasing, is what triggers your payment. How escrow protects your payment →
Am I locked into exclusivity?
No. Your audience, your content, and your deals outside Handle stay yours. The one rule: deals that start on Handle are paid through Handle — that’s what keeps escrow and dispute protection intact.
What if something goes wrong?
Disputes are settled by the contract you both e-signed — milestone-based partial release, evidence on file — not a guessing game.
Can I offer a monthly retainer?
Yes. Add a monthly rate to any channel and brands can book it like any package. Every month is escrowed before it starts, months renew automatically on the brand’s saved card, and each delivered month adds platform-verified results to your track record — which is what the brand sees when it’s time to renew.
