Put a brand inquiry form wherever a sponsor can find it fast: your bio link, media kit, creator site, or a dedicated collaboration page. The right option depends on how much structure you need, whether you already use a link-in-bio tool, and whether brand leads should stay separate from follower payments. Custom Work lets you offer clearly scoped commissions and services: you set the price, the scope and the delivery time, and followers submit a brief and pay before you start.
For occasional sponsor outreach, use email; for standardized questions, use Google Forms or Typeform; for media-kit context, use Notion; and for a dedicated sponsorship workflow, consider Passionfroot. Brillay fits when you want brand inquiries and fixed-price follower offers clearly separated on the same creator link. Linktree, Google Forms or Typeform, Notion, and Passionfroot each send the visitor to another destination; Brillay keeps the inquiry form beside your fixed-price follower offers on the creator page linked from your bio, without inserting a directory or ranking.
Which brand inquiry option fits each creator?
The best brand-inquiry intake point is the one a legitimate sponsor can use without guessing. A plain email address is fastest, Linktree works if your bio already runs through Linktree, Google Forms or Typeform adds fields, Notion adds context, Passionfroot adds a brand-deal workspace, and Brillay fits when your creator link for paid follower offers should also show a simple “Work with Me” form. The request and the payment happen on the page itself, with the follower checking out as a guest — nobody drops out in the hop between the link and the checkout.
| Option | Best for | Fee/cost | How payment works | Entry requirement |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Plain email address | Creators who want the lowest-friction contact path | No platform fee for the link itself; email/domain costs vary | No built-in payment; negotiate and invoice elsewhere | An email inbox |
| Linktree contact block | Creators whose social bio already points to Linktree | Linktree has a Free plan; paid tiers add more customization and commerce features | No brand-deal payment flow in the contact block | A Linktree account |
| Google Form or Typeform | Creators who need structured intake questions | Google Forms is available through a Google account; Typeform’s free plan has response limits | No native brand-deal payment unless you connect another workflow | A form account and a public form link |
| Notion page | Creators who want a lightweight public media-kit page | Notion Sites can publish pages; site features vary by plan | No built-in sponsor checkout on a plain page | A Notion page and publish settings |
| Passionfroot media-kit page | Creators who actively sell sponsorship packages | Free to start for creators; platform fees depend on deal source | Designed for brand bookings, collaboration, and payment workflows | A Passionfroot creator setup |
| Brillay Brand Collaboration Inquiries | Creators who want brand leads beside paid follower offers | No monthly fee for Brillay; no payment and no fee on brand inquiries | No payment on the inquiry; paid follower offers remain separate | A Brillay page |
No single option is universally best. A creator who receives one serious sponsor email per quarter may not need more than an address. A creator with repeat campaigns, packages, and a sponsorship pipeline may benefit from a media-kit or brand-deal platform. A creator using paid follower offers may prefer one public link that separates follower purchases from brand inquiries.
Should you just list an email address?
A plain email address is the simplest brand-inquiry intake point. You can put it in your social bio, media kit, YouTube about section, newsletter footer, or website contact page. If you make the address clickable, a standard mailto: link opens the visitor’s email program; MDN describes this as linking “to an email address” through the HTML anchor element’s email-link behavior in its <a> element reference.
Email is best when you want maximum compatibility. Brands can forward threads internally, attach briefs, copy agencies, and use their normal procurement workflow. You also avoid a separate form tool, response cap, or platform-specific intake format.
The tradeoff is structure. A plain email does not force the brand to include budget, deadline, usage rights, deliverables, product URL, campaign goal, or approval timeline. You can reduce back-and-forth with a short prompt near the address, such as: “For collaborations, include brand name, campaign dates, budget range, deliverables, and product link.” That still depends on the sender reading and following instructions.
Use email when brand inquiries are occasional or sponsors expect a normal business thread. If you have no idea what to charge or worry you are undercharging, ask for the brand’s budget range, define the deliverables and usage rights, and compare the offer with your minimum acceptable rate before replying.
Can Linktree hold your contact details?
Linktree can hold a contact point inside the same link-in-bio page that followers already tap from social profiles. Linktree’s help center says its Contact Details link lets visitors download your contact details directly to their phones, and the setup flow adds the Contact Details option from the Links page.
“Your visitors will be able to download your contact details directly to their phones.” — Linktree Help Center, How to add a Contact Details Link
This is useful if your priority is discoverability, not detailed intake. A brand rep lands on your existing Linktree, sees a contact block, and saves or uses your details. It keeps your collaboration path close to your other social links, shops, newsletters, and content.
Cost depends on which Linktree plan you use. Check Linktree’s current pricing page before choosing a plan; its free and paid options, limits, and commerce features can change. For this use case, treat Linktree as a routing layer rather than a full sponsorship CRM: it helps brands find how to contact you, but the actual deal conversation usually moves to email or another tool.
Linktree is a good fit if it is already your main bio link and you do not need a long brand questionnaire.
Should you link a Google Form or Typeform?
A standalone form standardizes brand outreach. You create a form, ask for the fields you need, and link it from your bio, website, Linktree, pinned post, or media kit. Google’s own Forms help explains the basic flow as creating a form, editing and formatting it, then sending it for people to fill in through Google Forms.
This is the practical middle ground for many creators. Ask for contact name, work email, brand name, website, product URL, campaign type, budget range, timeline, desired deliverables, usage needs, and any must-hit dates. You can send responses to a spreadsheet or inbox, then reply only to qualified leads.
Typeform is the more polished version if presentation matters. Does Typeform’s current free plan still include unlimited forms and a 10-response monthly limit? Check its official plan page before relying on that allowance. Paid Typeform plans can make sense once inquiry volume or customization needs outgrow that free tier.
The downside is that form links can feel detached from the rest of your creator business. Brands may complete the form, but followers cannot pay you there, and the form itself does not become a public media kit unless you add context somewhere else.
Can a Notion page work as media kit?
A Notion page can work as a lightweight media kit plus inquiry hub. You can publish a page with your bio, audience summary, content themes, sample collaborations, package notes, past partners if appropriate, and a “contact me” section that links to email or a form.
Notion’s help center describes the publishing flow directly: open the page, use Share, open the Publish tab, and publish the page as a Notion Site through Notion’s web publishing help. That makes Notion appealing when you already draft your media kit, campaign notes, or sponsorship packages in Notion.
“Any page you build in Notion can be turned into a beautiful Notion Site with just a click.” — Notion Help Center, Publish a website with Notion Sites
The strength is context. A brand can see what you make, who you reach, what collaborations you accept, and how to inquire. The weakness is intake. A published Notion page is not automatically a deal workflow. Unless you embed or link a form, brands may still email incomplete requests.
Choose Notion if you need a presentable public page more than a full intake system. It is especially useful for creators who update positioning often and want a media-kit page they can edit quickly.
When does Passionfroot make more sense?
Passionfroot makes more sense when sponsorships are a serious revenue stream, not just an occasional inbound email. Its creator page positions the product around a verified media kit, exclusive brand campaigns, and getting paid, all within a creator-focused brand-deal workflow on Passionfroot for creators.
This is different from a simple form. Passionfroot is built for packaging, booking, collaborating, and handling brand opportunities. If you sell newsletter sponsorships, podcast placements, creator-led campaigns, or repeat inventory, a dedicated sponsorship platform can reduce the spreadsheet-and-email load.
Pricing mechanics matter. Does Passionfroot still distinguish between platform-sourced and creator-sourced deals, and who currently pays each fee? Confirm the latest percentages on its official pricing page before comparing costs. Because that is a brand-deal platform model, it is overbuilt for someone who only needs “send me your budget and timeline.”
Choose Passionfroot if you want a professional sponsorship storefront and deal workflow. Choose a simpler form or email if you are still validating demand or receive low-volume outreach.
Where does Brillay fit brand inquiries?
Brillay fits when your public creator link already needs to handle paid follower requests and brand inquiries should live beside, but not inside, that follower checkout flow. Brand Collaboration Inquiries gives brands a “Work with Me” form on your Brillay page and keeps their budget, timeline, and deliverables in a separate brand inbox.
The mechanics are intentionally narrow: a brand fills out contact name, work email, brand name, website, product URL, campaign type, budget range, timeline, campaign goal, project details, and an acknowledgement. There is no payment or fee on a Brand Collaboration Inquiry. The fee only shows up on the paid follower offers sitting beside it. No monthly fee, you only pay a small platform fee when you get paid. 8% platform fee when a follower pays for work, 5% platform fee on tips and goals. Card processing is separate.
If asking brands to email you with the right details feels awkward, Brand Collaboration Inquiries gives them a clear “Work with Me” form while keeping brand outreach separate from paid follower orders. For Custom Work, you might charge $25 for a portfolio review or $50 for a defined commission; the price, scope and delivery time are written down before anyone pays. The follower pays upfront with their brief, and you deliver inside the window you published. Brillay offers Paid Questions, Personalized Videos, Custom Work, Tips, Goals, and Brand Collaboration Inquiries; see how Brillay works for the broader page flow.
Brillay lets followers buy one-time offers by card as guests, with no account needed and no membership, while brands use a separate “Work with Me” path from the same link. There is no follower minimum or application gate, and creators can receive payouts in 41 countries. You can read the feature details at Brand Collaboration Inquiries, and Brillay’s paid follower offers are covered on pricing.
Frequently asked questions
Where should I put my brand inquiry form?
Put it where sponsors already look: your main bio link, website contact page, media kit, YouTube about section, newsletter footer, or pinned profile link. If you use one creator link for everything, make the brand option clearly labeled as “Work with me” or “Brand inquiries.”
Is an email better than a brand form?
Email is better for flexibility and familiar business threads. A form is better when you want every brand to submit the same basics, such as budget, timeline, deliverables, product URL, and campaign goal before you spend time replying.
Do brands prefer media kits or forms?
Many brands need both: a media kit to evaluate fit and a contact path to start the deal. A Notion or Passionfroot page can provide context, while a Google Form, Typeform, email address, or the Brand Collaboration Inquiries “Work with Me” form on Brillay can collect the actual request.
If a message looks like a scam, the Brand Collaboration Inquiries form collects the brief for your review, and you simply decline or ignore the inquiry.
Can I use Brillay only for brand inquiries?
You can use a Brillay page with Brand Collaboration Inquiries, but Brillay is most useful when the same link also shows paid follower offers such as Paid Questions, Personalized Videos, Custom Work, Tips, or Goals. For setup ideas, see how to set up brand collaboration inquiries.
What if I already use Linktree?
If Linktree is your main bio link, you can add a contact block, link out to a form, or link to a separate media-kit page. If you are comparing link-in-bio options more broadly, read Linktree alternatives for creators or see options by creator type at creator directory.
