Getting started with Billo is quick and easy, and now even easier with no upfront commitment. Here’s how to begin:

1️⃣ Sign Up for Free

Create your account using Google or your email and password. No need to choose a plan or pay upfront.

2️⃣ Set Up Your Brand

Add your brand details to personalize your experience on the platform.

3️⃣ Explore & Invite Creators

After setting up your brand, you'll land on the Explore Creators tab, where you can discover creators using filters like demographics, interests, and lifestyle.

4️⃣ Create a Brief & Kick Off Your Project

You can also start by creating your brief first. Just select ‘Create a new brief’ to get started. Once the brief is ready to be released, proceed to payment and continue to invite creators.


Placing an Order and Creating a Campaign

There are 5 main parts in creating a Brief.

  1. Select your product — Add the product or service you want creators to feature in their videos. You can only select one.

    • Paste your product URL if you have one.

    • Select one from 'My catalog' - these are products you've created within Billo platform.

  2. Video — Customize the primary parameters of your creator video and set up your script.

    • Parameters - this includes duration, aspect ratio, and the option to add Organic posting.

    • Create your script - you can either create or upload your own script, or use our AI-generated brief.

  3. Organic posting and partnership ads — Get a 30-day organic post on the creator’s Instagram or TikTok for extra reach and credibility. Add partnership ads to run the same post as an ad from their handle.

  4. Add-ons

    • Editing - Basic editing is included. Add AI captions or use Billo expert editing to boost engagement and stop rate.

    • Photos - Add a 4-photo set per creator to use in your marketing: product shot, thumbnail, selfie, and product-in-use.

    • Vertical + Square crop - Two extra aspect ratios, perfect for Meta placements. In 4:5 and 1:1.

  5. Campaign visibility and requirements

    • Campaign visibility - All creators can see this brief and apply. You can also invite selected creators.

    • Requirements - Specify criteria for creators to define who is eligible to apply.

    • Screening questions - This feature allows you to ask questions that creators will answer when applying to a task. You should use it when you need to confirm or get certain info from creators before approving them to work on a task.


💰 Order Estimate

As you complete your brief, an order estimate will appear, helping you budget.
You’ll only be charged after approving creators and finalizing the order.
