You've built a community that trusts you. Let's get you paid for it.
Growing an engaged Instagram following is a real craft, the content, the consistency, the relationship with your audience. But monetising it can feel like a maze: chasing brands in DMs, undercutting yourself because you're not sure what to charge, or taking collaborations that don't really fit just to earn something. We think you deserve better. On ZOMZEY, brands come looking for Instagram Influencers and post real paid opportunities, and you simply pitch for the ones that feel right for you and your audience. No cold DMs, no being left on read, no settling.
How it works for instagram Influencers
It couldn’t be simpler. Browse opportunities from brands wanting exactly the kind of content you create. Found one that fits? Send your pitch, share why you’re a great match, and name your price. If they pick you, you create the content you’re brilliant at, and you get paid securely through the platform. You choose what to pitch for, you set your rate, and you only ever work on collaborations that feel genuine to you and your followers.
What makes ZOMZEY different
You never pitch blind. Every brand on ZOMZEY is verified, and the money sits safely with ZOMZEY Protected Payments before you begin, so you know the work is real and funded from the moment you accept. No ghosting, no chasing payment, no awkward back-and-forth. And our dispute cover means if anything goes wrong, you’re never on your own. We built ZOMZEY to put Influencers first, because authentic recommendations only happen when Influencer are treated fairly.

Brand collaborations on Instagram: your questions
Is ZOMZEY free for brand collaborations on Instagram?
Yes. Joining is free, browsing and pitching are free, and commission is only taken when a paid deal completes. Influencer Pro is optional and lowers the commission once you are trading regularly; the pricing page lists every figure. Nothing is charged for being found or for sending an offer, which is all it costs to start brand collaborations on Instagram.
How do brand collaborations on Instagram get paid?
The brand funds the deal under Protected Payments before you post. You publish the agreed content, upload evidence of the live post, Reel or story with its label, and the payment is released to your payout method once the brand approves it within the review window. No invoices, no chasing, and the written agreement on the deal page settles what was promised.
Do brand collaborations on Instagram need an ad label?
Yes. A paid or gifted post is an advert in the UK, so label it clearly at the start of the caption and on every story frame that is part of the ad, not hidden among hashtags. The ASA and CMA guidance linked above explains the labels that count, and the paid partnership tool helps but does not replace a clear label on brand collaborations on Instagram.
What should I charge for brand collaborations on Instagram?
Start from the free Influencer Pricing Calculator, which prices a Reel above a feed post and a feed post above a story, then adjust for usage rights, exclusivity and production, and put your starting prices on a rate card so brands can book you quickly.
What evidence do I upload for brand collaborations on Instagram?
The link to the live post or Reel, a dated screenshot showing the label (stories need a screenshot while they are live), and the figures the offer promised, such as reach, saves or link clicks after the agreed period. Evidence lives on the deal page, so the brand approves against what you both agreed. Keep the same evidence habit for every one of your brand collaborations on Instagram.
How do I win more brand collaborations on Instagram?
Complete your profile with a main image, a country and your packages, connect your account so your follower and engagement figures are validated, pitch only for opportunities that genuinely fit your feed, and deliver on time. Every completed deal adds a review and lifts your Star tier, which is what brands compare when they shortlist creators for brand collaborations on Instagram.
Do I need to register as self-employed for brand collaborations on Instagram?
Income from paid posts is usually taxable. GOV.UK explains when to register as self-employed and the trading allowance that covers small amounts; the ZOMZEY payout record gives you the figures you need.
In short, brand collaborations on Instagram work when the brief fits your feed and the payment is protected. ZOMZEY brings the brands to you, records the deal and holds the money until you have delivered.
What to price separately
Feed posts, Stories and Reels can each be a separate service with its own fee, so brands can book exactly what they need.
Get a service or give a service
Instagram creators are one way into ZOMZEY, and the platform is open to everyone, so you can post what you need as well as answer briefs.
