Brand deals
Requests from brands, proposals you send, and deals moving through escrow, in one place.
/a/bookings is everything between "a brand noticed you" and "you got paid". Three words to know:
- A request is what a brand sends through your page's work with me form.
- A proposal is what you send a brand: your terms, as a one-time link.
- A deal is accepted terms moving through escrow to payout.
Requests from brands
Every submission from your page lands here with the brand's name, contact, budget range, and message; if they picked one of your open booking dates, the request shows that too. New requests are marked until you open them, and you get an email when one arrives.
Reply with the Message button: the conversation happens on Rekomi, and the brand gets a private chat link by email (they do not need an account to talk to you). You can also jump straight to Send a proposal to answer a request with concrete terms, or archive requests that are not a fit.
Proposals you send
A proposal is your terms minted as a one-time link: what you are offering, your rate (in any of 135+ supported currencies), your pitch, and optionally a commission on tracked sales after the flat fee (one-time or recurring). Create one from the button at the top of Brand deals.
The composer takes more than just terms:
- Your pitch is a formatted message (bold, lists, links) shown at the top of the proposal page and inside the proposal email. Links are scanned for safety; only https links survive.
- Brand name personalizes the page ("Prepared for Acme Inc").
- Your rate can be quoted in your own currency; the brand's escrow charge settles in USD at the market rate when they fund, and both amounts appear on the invoice.
- Split into milestones turns the rate into a schedule (deposit now, the rest on delivery, or one line per deliverable), each with a title, amount, optional description and target date. The brand funds and releases each milestone on its own; see Deals and getting paid.
- Send to email is optional. Leave it empty and share the link yourself, or fill it in and Rekomi emails the proposal for you with a View proposal button.
- Terms and review window (optional): your statement of work, usage rights, exclusivity, and how many days the brand has to review each delivered milestone before it releases automatically (3 to 14, default 7). The brand accepts these by redeeming the link.
While a link is still live you can Edit it from Proposals you send: price, schedule, terms, pitch. The link and invoice number stay the same and the page shows the new version; if you already emailed it, resend so the brand's inbox copy is not stale. A brand can also answer a proposal with a counter, which arrives under Active deals as an offer you can accept, counter again, or decline.
Every proposal also gets its own invoice number and a printable invoice page the brand can file, which stays available after they accept and updates its status as the deal is paid and released.
The mechanics:
- Each link works once and expires after 14 days.
- You can have up to 20 live links at a time; revoke any you no longer want out there.
- Emailing a proposal is capped at 5 sends per proposal, at most one per hour (use Resend email on the row). The recipient is remembered between sends.
- When a brand opens the link, they see your pitch, your terms, and the invoice. They create a Rekomi account if they need one, accept, and land directly on funding the escrow.
- Once a link is used, the row shows which brand took it.
Proposals unlock once your profile is reviewed (the same review that adds the Verified badge).
Active deals
Deals show their live status with what happens next spelled out on the card:
| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
| Offered | A brand sent you terms. Accept, decline, or Propose changes (different price, a milestone per deliverable, other terms); the brand then accepts, revises, or cancels. Offers expire after 14 days. |
| Accepted | Terms locked. The brand funds the escrow next. |
| Funded | The brand's payment is settling into escrow (bank transfers take a few days), then you get the green light to deliver. |
| Delivered | You marked the work done. The brand reviews and releases; it auto-releases at the end of the review window (7 days unless the deal terms say 3 to 14) if they do nothing. If they request changes, update the work and resubmit. |
| Released | Paid out through your payout method, tax forms collected. |
Milestone deals show one row per milestone under the card (Not funded, In escrow, Delivered, Changes requested, Approved, Paid), each with its own Submit as delivered button.
Every deal has its own message thread (the Messages button, with unread counts). The money mechanics, fees, and what to do in a dispute are in Deals and getting paid. And when the brand relationships pile up, Your partners rolls all of this up into one list per brand.
