New influencers, please learn this. I'm going insane.

Set the correct due date per your contract. See your NETx payment terms - x is the number of calendar days AFTER you should set the due to. It is never the same day of invoicing, are you crazy. Read your contract before asking your rep. Please save our inboxes.

Fill this shit out. We need this info for finance/accounting. Read your contract before asking your rep. Please save our inboxes. FOR GOD'S SAKE, HELP US.

Also fill this shit out relevant to your activation (hours, item, whatever). At the very least, write in the campaign name. The rep you worked with on the sponsorship is most likely not the person who will be paying you and they need a clear invoice to know wtf to do.

Nice to have, but preferably write something in here like supportive links to contract deliverables ( #ad tweets, etc.) or if there's something fucky with how you accept payments the person paying you should know. A thank you is appreciated.

READ YOUR CONTRACTS. When you sign them, mark important dates in your calendar so your rep doesn't have to chase you for shit:

1. Content delivery / review dates
2. Publishing dates
3. Reporting and other deliverable dates
4. Invoice date
5. Payment due date

PLEASE HELP US.

One sponsored influencer fucking up their PayPal invoice, auto-generating notifications to the person they're sending to (ME ), and then correcting them in an email, generating more notifications, etc. = a fuck ton of emails x dozens of people trying to get paid every day/week.

WE PAY ATTENTION TO THE INFLUENCERS WE SPONSOR WHO ALSO RESPECT OUR TIME BY READING THEIR CONTRACTS. THIS IS LITERALLY YOUR JOB AND YOU'RE GETTING PAID FOR IT. DO YOUR FUCKING JOB.

Signed,

Trying to give a shit about paying people who can't be bothered to invoice correctly
