You can get sales velocity on your sales channel of choice with a unique product called SocialBlast. This is about the only thing that makes them worthwhile to look at. Everything else is terrible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Creators Can Scam You On JoinBrands And They Will Do Nothing

ATTENTION BRANDS - BEWARE OF REFUNDABLE SAMPLES ON THIS PLATFORM - CREATORS CAN SCAM YOU

TLDR - How the Influencer & Join Brands can scam you out of cash:

When you buy a refundable sample campaign, a creator can not create content/cancel the job and then request an ADDITIONAL REFUND from the platform they purchased on (e.g. TikTok Shop). Join Brands will claim it is taken care of with a refund for the job on their platform, but you are still out the cash via the refund on the platform they purchased on. So they are essentially getting paid for the product and not producing a video.

If you are considering refundable samples on Join Brands, this is how it works:

On the platform, you can pay upfront for a Social Blast and select an option to offer refundable samples to creators. As part of the agreement, the creator will be reimbursed for their sample as part of their compensation. Part of the value prop is to drive sales velocity on TikTok Shop to attract other creators and customers.

Their terms explicitly state that creators should not request refunds for product after a job has been accepted, and that doing so will have consequences for the creator. This makes sense because basically the creator is engaging in a contract to get paid for content creation. If they don't fulfill the contract, there should be consequences.

HOWEVER - JoinBrands does not uphold their own creator guidelines. A creator can simply accept the job, buy product, request to close the job, never deliver content, and then request a refund on the sales channel. And Join Brands will only refund you the shipping cost from the sales channel, not your product cost.

MAKE THAT MAKE SENSE. DO NOT RECOMMEND. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. There are more reputable brands to work with, like Trybe.

Plus the quality of creators on JoinBrands is weak. There are only a few that are actually good at content. Everyone else is phoning it in. Many on the platform are not native English speakers, and often have spanish or russian language channels -- or often just don't feel high credibility. Again, choose Trybe if you want quality.

I have used many different platforms to hire different content creators and I must say JoinBrands outperforms ALL of them! I use joinbrands almost every week and the quality of the creators is amazing, the content they create is incredible and the overall experience has been completely seamless with very high ease of implementation and ease of integration. The platform is very straightforward and easy-to-use, caters to brands really well, is fair to both sellers and creators, the pricing is AWESOME, the customer support is excellent too. I highly recommend! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find joinbrands to be a wonderful platform that helps us connect with creators. I appreciate the friendly support and how user-friendly the platform is. The initial setup was also a breeze; all I needed was an email, and everything was okay. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I realize that joinbrands doesn't have a lot of men creator sources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the assistance available in Joinbrands that helps me address issues like sending products to UGC creators with incorrect addresses. I also like the social lessons provided by Joinbrands because they are cheap and allow me to test a lot of content. The initial setup of Joinbrands is really easy, making it hassle-free to get started. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform fees are really high. I think the social boost is too cheap for creators. Because they can't get a lot of money, sometimes they create not really hard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how user-friendly JoinBrands is, making it extremely easy to navigate, which is essential for someone like me who isn't very tech-savvy. The website's setup was smooth and straightforward, which really enhanced my experience. Additionally, the diverse and expansive database of creators is a major advantage, aligning perfectly with my brand's target audience. Getting 91 applicants in just a couple of days was very encouraging for me! I deeply appreciate the chat support from both the chatbot and live agents. The automation in the chat feature is quite convincing, often appearing human-like, and when it falls short, it seamlessly transitions to human assistance. Alisa from the JoinBrands chat help was especially amazing, patient, and guided me through steps clearly and effectively, saving my business from potential financial setbacks. The fast and responsive customer care is exceptional, making the entire experience seamless and stress-free. Overall, JoinBrands provides an excellent platform with a vast variety of content creators and outstanding customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since we started using JoinBrands, our content flow has become so much more efficient. We’ve been able to connect with talented influencers and creators quickly and easily. The quality of content we’ve received has been great, and the pricing is very fair. The entire website is easy to navigate, and their support team is amazing — always quick to respond and genuinely friendly. I highly recommend this platform to any brand looking to boost awareness and build social proof. It’s been such a smooth and positive experience from start to finish.

Nothing to dislike about the platform, however, there are some creators you might stumble upon who don’t meet expectations. We always try our best to provide a good brief and keep close communication to get the type of content we want. Sometimes creators aren’t responsive, but JoinBrands makes that part easy to address with their timelines and process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They have a big library of UGC creators in different age groups. I like that you can invite creators to your campaign as well as they can apply. I love that there are different levels of creators so you can try working with less or more experienced creators.

I'd also love to highlight Jovan's support, he helped us set up our first campaign and he was very knowledgeable, walked us through the whole process and answered all our questions about creators on the platform, how it works, what we should expect, etc. Thanks to him starting with the platform was a no-brainer for us.

There have not really been any problems with joinbrands. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform is super easy to use. You could create campaigns for any goals, like brand awareness, social blast or sales. The best part is you could get UGCs created for any platform like Shopify, Amazon, TikTok, IG, etc. Me and a lot of my friends have been using it and are very happy.

Bulk content is cost-effective, but single videos or a couple of videos might be on the costlier end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

JoinBrands has completely transformed the way brands and creators collaborate! As a content creator, I love how easy and intuitive the platform is—finding campaigns, applying, and getting paid has never been smoother. The variety of opportunities is amazing, and the brands I’ve worked with have been professional and reliable.

For brands, this platform is a goldmine! You get access to high-quality UGC that feels authentic and truly connects with audiences.

The best part? The entire process is streamlined, from product delivery to final approvals. If you’re looking for a hassle-free way to monetize your creativity or grow your brand with genuine content, JoinBrands is the place to be!

ask for Jovan, he will hook you up Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have yet to find any downside to the platform Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use is tops. Appreciate how campaigns are set up to communicate brand information and intention to potential creators. The tiers of talent are nice, too. I find that there is a good variety of creators to work with. When I publish a campaign, I get ~200+ applications, which is manageable. The creator's portfolios and past work are helpful to review, in addition to reviews from the brands they've worked with. As a member, I have had questions about the best methods for success regarding Social Blasts, etc., and I booked time with a representative to ask questions. What's more, I learned about more promotional offers that JoinBrands is offering, too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes, creators are not responsive. However, JoinBrands keeps timelines for the project and allows brands to leave a creator if they haven't met their timelines. The trouble is that you've already sent them your sample product, which is a loss. JoinBrands does not readily make use-case studies available, which feels amiss. JoinBrands should consider omitting the brands and still presenting the data (if they have it). It concerns me that this isn't a top priority, as proof of outcomes is critical to helping members make decisions and trusting that JoinBrands creators get results.
