# Quickstart for creators (/docs/get-started/quickstart-creators)

Join a brand, set up your profile, connect your social accounts and start getting paid.

This guide takes you from an invitation to your first payout. Each step links to a page with the full detail.

### Join a brand [#join-a-brand]

There are three ways in:

- **An email invitation.** Open the link in the email. If you don't have a Bloss account yet, click **Create Account**; otherwise click **Sign In to Accept**. Use the email address the invitation was sent to.
- **An invite link** that a brand shared with you. Depending on the brand, you join straight away or fill in a short application first.
- **A brand's recruitment page**, where you apply and wait for the brand to review you.

See [Joining a brand](/docs/creators/start/joining-a-brand) for each path, and [Invitations](/docs/get-started/invitations) if you have several invites waiting.

### Set up your profile [#set-up-your-profile]

The first time you sign in, a short setup wizard asks for your name, the niches and kinds of content you make, a short bio, a photo, your location, the languages you create in and your social accounts.

When you finish, you land in the brand's creator portal.

<Step>

### Connect your social accounts [#connect-your-social-accounts]

In the brand's creator portal, open **Connect Accounts** and add your Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Facebook accounts. Accounts must be public so Bloss can see your posts. See [Connecting your social accounts](/docs/creators/start/connecting-your-socials).

### Post your videos [#post-your-videos]

Post the way you normally do. Bloss syncs your posts and groups the same video posted on several platforms into one <Term id="set">set</Term>. You see them under **My Videos**. See [My videos and payouts](/docs/creators/earning/videos-and-payouts).

</Step>
<Step>

### Get paid [#get-paid]

At the end of each <Term id="cycle">payout cycle</Term>, the brand reviews your sets and pays you <Term id="base-pay">base pay</Term> for each set that qualifies, plus any <Term id="bonus">bonus</Term> for views. Track it under **My Payouts**. See [How you get paid](/docs/creators/earning/how-you-get-paid) and [Getting your money](/docs/creators/earning/getting-your-money).

## See everything in one place [#see-everything-in-one-place]
