Start free

An influencer media kit is a single page that tells a brand who your audience is, what you can make, what it costs and how to book you. Nothing more. Everything below is in service of a brand manager deciding "yes" in under a minute.

The eight required blocks

  1. Positioning — name, niche, city, one sentence.
  2. Stats — reach, engagement rate, story views, saves, shares, dated.
  3. Audience — age, gender split, top countries.
  4. Content — the three topics you own and formats you deliver.
  5. Proof — past partnerships and one measured result.
  6. Rates — line items plus a bundle.
  7. Terms — usage rights, exclusivity, turnaround.
  8. Contact — email and booking link.

Frequently asked questions

How long should an influencer media kit be? One scrollable page. Two if you work across four or more platforms.

How often should I update it? Monthly for stats, quarterly for rates. This is the single strongest argument for a link over a file — see free download vs live link.

What do brands check first? Audience fit, then engagement, then price. The order is explained in what brands actually look for.

Media kit or rate card? Both, on one page. See media kit vs rate card.

Do I need a designer? No. Start from a free template or a Canva media kit template, then move the content to a live page.

What creators say on Reddit

Threads on Reddit — r/InfluencerMarketing, r/Instagram, r/socialmedia — repeat the same three lessons. One: creators who list rates get fewer but better-qualified enquiries. Two: brands ignore kits with undated screenshots. Three: the creators who close deals send a link, follow up once after five days, and keep a short case study at the top. Compare notes with these media kit examples before you publish.
