The creator programme for event content in Nigeria
The creator programme connects event organizers with two kinds of people: content creators with a real, engaged audience who can move tickets, and photographers and videographers who can make an event look like the night it actually was.
You apply once, we review, and approved creators get a public profile, a booking calendar and a rate card that organizers can book against directly.
Two ways to join
Content creators are judged on audience. To apply as a content creator you need at least 5,000 followers on the platform where your audience lives, because organizers are paying for reach and we would rather set that bar honestly than waste everyone's time.
Photographers and videographers are judged on work, not follower count. If you shoot events well, apply on the craft track — there is no follower minimum, and organizers book you to cover the night rather than to promote it.
How creators earn
Direct bookings: an organizer picks you from the directory, chooses a date, pays, and the booking is confirmed instantly with the money held until the job is done.
Referrals: share your link to any event on the platform and earn a commission on the tickets that sell through it. Your dashboard shows clicks, conversions and earnings per event, and payouts go to your bank account.
What organizers see
Your profile carries your work, your niche, your city, your rate and your availability. Organizers can shortlist you, message you and book without a three-day negotiation in the DMs. Reviews after each event build a track record that makes the next booking easier.
How to get approved
Applications that get through are specific. Say what you actually deliver — a reel within 24 hours, a full photo gallery, a recap video, a story takeover — and say why the events you want to cover are the right fit for your audience. Vague applications get declined more than anything else.
Questions people ask
