๐Ÿ’… Nailing your first campaign

Our top tips for getting approved & creating great content! โœจ

Welcome, Creator!

We're thrilled that youโ€™re taking the time to learn what it takes to stand out on Joli. โค๏ธ We've put together a short guide to help you thrive by choosing the right campaigns and delivering top quality content. ๐Ÿ‘Œ


๐ŸŽฏ Step 1: Apply to the right campaigns

Brands are far more likely to approve creators who feel like a natural fit. Before applying to a campaign, ask yourself:

  • โœ… Does this match my niche & content style? (food type, vibe, audience)

  • ๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ Is my audience in the right location? (i.e. are they likely to travel to where the campaign is located?)

  • ๐Ÿ  Would my content look at home on the brand's feed? (style, vibe)

๐Ÿ’ก Tip: Fewer, well-matched applications = higher approval rates

๐ŸŽฅ Step 2: Create top quality content

As well as looking at your stats, location & niche, brands will choose to approve / decline your collaboration requests based on the quality of your content. Great content doesnโ€™t need to be fancy or overcomplicated, it just requires strong basics done well. ๐Ÿ‘

What we've found works best:

  • ๐Ÿ’ก Bright, even lighting (use flash or a small light if needed)

  • ๐Ÿ“ Steady, clear footage (tripod or stabilisation helps)

  • ๐ŸŒด Capture the vibe - clean, inviting shots of the space

  • ๐Ÿ”‘ Be yourself - your personal touch and authenticity is key!

What to avoid:

  • โŒ Dark, shadowy shots

  • โŒ Shaky or blurry clips

  • โŒ Cluttered tables or messy backgrounds

  • โŒ Featuring multiple brands in one piece of content

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Tools recommendations (used by top creators)

  • ๐Ÿ”ฆ Portable selfie light for consistent lighting

  • ๐Ÿ“ CapCut (stabilisation feature = game changer)

  • ๐Ÿ“ Small flexible tripod for hands-free filming


๐Ÿ’ฌ Final note

Thoughtful applications and clean, on-brand content go a long way. Creators who focus on how their booking requests & content appear to brands tend to get approved far more often. If everything feels clear, relevant, and well-aligned, youโ€™re doing it right. โœจ
