What is Retainer?

A recurring arrangement where a brand pays a fixed monthly fee for an agreed volume of content, rather than commissioning each piece separately.

Why it matters to your money

The single biggest stability upgrade available to a UGC creator. Two retainers cover the bulk of a month's income and remove most of the pitching load.
