People come to you for what’s worth their attention. ZOMZEY connects you with brands and authors who want your curation, you choose what fits, and you get paid securely.
Every paid collaboration arranged through ZOMZEY should be clearly labelled as an ad, as explained in the Advertising Standards Authority’s guide to making clear that ads are ads.

Your recommendation means something. Let's help it earn.
A trusted curator, the voice or platform people rely on to filter the noise, holds genuine influence. Brands and authors would love a place in your edit, but there's no clean way for the right ones to reach you, or for you to be fairly paid while protecting your credibility. ZOMZEY solves both. Members post real, paid opportunities, featured recommendations, curated placements, editorial spots, and you choose only the ones that genuinely deserve your audience's attention.
How it works for editorial curators
It’s simple. Browse opportunities from brands and authors wanting a place in your curation. See one that genuinely fits? Make your offer and set your terms. If they choose you, you feature it with the integrity your audience expects, and you get paid securely through the platform. You stay in complete control, you only ever feature what truly fits, which is exactly what keeps your curation worth following.
What makes ZOMZEY different
On ZOMZEY, you’re valued for the quality of what you deliver, not follower count. Every feature you run builds your verified track record, and the stronger it grows, the higher you rank and the more Members seek you out. Every Member is verified and every deal is funded through ZOMZEY Protected Payments before you start. We built ZOMZEY so trusted curators get rewarded for the taste they’ve cultivated, without ever compromising it.

Editorial curation on ZOMZEY: your questions
Is ZOMZEY free for editorial curation?
Yes. A curator joins free as a Hub, is listed in Discover free and pays commission only when a paid placement completes. Shops and Communities Pro is optional and lowers the commission once you are trading regularly; the pricing page lists every figure, and that is all it costs to start earning from editorial curation.
How is a paid placement in my editorial curation paid?
The brand or author funds the deal under Protected Payments before you publish. You feature the item on the agreed terms, upload evidence of the placement, and the payment is released to your payout method once the Member approves it within the review window. The written agreement on the deal page settles what was promised.
Does editorial curation need an ad label?
Yes, wherever a placement was paid for or gifted with conditions. Label it clearly where readers see it, in the edit itself rather than in a footnote. The ASA and CMA guidance linked above explains the labels that count, and clear labelling is what protects the credibility your editorial curation depends on.
What should I charge for editorial curation?
Price the placement, not the praise: a slot in the edit, a featured recommendation, a newsletter mention or a seasonal round-up, each with a clear description and a price on your rate card. The free calculators give a starting range, and the right to decline anything that does not fit is always yours.
What evidence do I upload for editorial curation?
A link to the live edit or a dated screenshot showing the placement and its label, plus any reach figures the offer promised, such as readers, opens or clicks after the agreed period. Evidence lives on the deal page, so approval is against what you both agreed.
How does editorial curation attract the right brands and authors?
Describe your readers honestly, show past edits in your showcase, connect your accounts so your figures are validated, and keep your rate card current. Every completed deal adds a review and lifts your Star tier, which is what Members compare when they choose where to be featured.
Can I keep my editorial curation independent while taking paid placements?
Yes. You choose what goes in, you label what was paid for, and you never sell a recommendation you do not mean. Most curators keep paid placements to a clearly marked section so that the rest of the edit stays exactly as it was.
In short, editorial curation earns on ZOMZEY when the placement fits the edit and the payment is protected. ZOMZEY brings the brands and authors to you, records the deal and holds the money until you have delivered.
