Media lists, brands browse
Once approved, set your rates and turnaround for each content type you offer. Your public profile goes live for brands to discover.
Browse approved creators by niche, audience size, and content type. Every profile shows pricing, turnaround, and past work upfront.
Brand sends a brief, creator accepts
You receive a brief with the brand's product, talking points, and what to avoid. You have 48 hours to accept or decline. When you accept, the brand is charged and your payout is guaranteed.
Pick a content type, write your brief, and authorize payment. Your card is held but not charged until the creator accepts. If they don't respond within 48 hours, the hold is released — no charge.
Creator publishes, platform verifies
Write it your way, in your voice. When it's live, submit proof. Verification confirms the placement went out.
Get notified when the content goes live. Review the published piece. Payment releases after verification.
Creator gets paid, brand gets coverage
Funds transfer directly to your bank account. No invoicing, no follow-ups, no 90-day payment terms.
Your brand was mentioned by a voice their audience already trusts. Credible, disclosed, and delivered on time.
Why this works
The things that make the connection between media and brands actually function.
Only real creators
Every creator on StoryStacked is a real person with a real audience built through real work. We vet every profile. No AI influencers, no synthetic content, no ghost-written placements.
Guaranteed payment
Payment is secured before work begins and released after delivery is verified. Brands pay for results. Creators always get paid.
Authentic voice, always
Brands provide talking points, not scripts. Creators write in their own voice because that's the whole point. The moment it sounds like an ad, it stops working.
Common questions
Real writers, podcasters, writers, and social creators of all sizes who have built authentic audiences through years of genuine work. And brands who understand that in a world of AI-generated content, a recommendation from a real person is worth more than a thousand impressions.
AI can generate articles, deepfake influencers, and synthetic reviews. Your customers are starting to notice. When a real person with a real following recommends your brand, it carries weight that no algorithm can replicate. StoryStacked exists to protect and support that relationship.
You set your own rates. Our pricing engine suggests market rates based on your audience size, but you're free to charge what you want. Creators earn anywhere from $100 for a mention to $2,500+ for a dedicated feature.
Never. Brands provide talking points and product info, but the creator writes the piece in their own voice. If it doesn't sound like them, it doesn't work for anyone.
When a brand sends a brief, their card is authorized (held but not charged). If the creator accepts within 48 hours, the charge goes through and the money is held by StoryStacked. When the work is delivered and verified, funds transfer directly to the creator's bank account. If the creator doesn't respond, the hold is released — no charge.
The creator's listed price plus a 20% platform fee. No subscriptions, no hidden fees, no minimum spend.
Newsletter features and mentions, blog articles and roundups, podcast mentions and full episodes, Instagram posts, stories, and Reels, TikTok videos, YouTube videos, and custom formats.
The demand is here. Don’t leave money on the table.
3,000+ brands are already paying creators for authentic editorial placements. Every day you wait is a brief that goes to someone else.
