How to Structure a Fair Creator Advance

An advance can win you a creator, but structure it so both sides are protected.

Options

• A one-time starting advance recouped from future earnings.
• A guaranteed weekly minimum for the first weeks.
• A higher split in exchange for no advance.

Protect yourself

Write down how the advance is recouped, over what period, and what happens if the creator stops. Clear terms prevent disputes.

Creators can state the advance they want up front, so you know the terms before you commit.
