Pro Creators are allowed to set their own price for your collab when they apply.
Depending on the budget you set for this campaign, you can make them a one-time counter offer.
And this is how it works:
The Pro Creator applications in your campaign will be shown separately. The price for the collab is marked in purple.
You will see the price you have to pay as cash compensation for the collab. (This price already includes the current cash payment.)
And you see how many Content Buyouts you have to use if you want to buy a content piece from them.
If you agree with the price, you can simply click accept.
Criteria that speak for a direct acceptance:
very good ER
very good content
very large follower base
very good previous collaborations
very good view numbers
If you need to renegotiate the price for budget reasons, you can click "decline" in the top left corner. This will open a popup where you can:
directly decline the Influencer for the collab
or make a one-time counter offer
If you make a counter offer, you can propose a new price for the collab in this popup and indicate how much you would pay for a possible content buyout.
So that the Influencer can understand your decision, you have to give a reason for the negotiation.
At the very bottom you can send your offer.
If you make a counter offer, the Influencer can decide if they agree or not.
If they decline, the process is over.
If they accept, you can still decide at the end if you really want to go for the collaboration and confirm it by accepting the Influencer.
