Transcripts

Speaker:

Inclusions and exclusions.

Speaker:

What are they?

Speaker:

Well, they're broadly categorized

Speaker:

as the terms and conditions and

Speaker:

also separately the elements

Speaker:

of what's included or excluded.

Speaker:

When creating your content

Speaker:

or when working with a brand.

Speaker:

For the purpose of today's episode,

Speaker:

we are going to be referring to the

Speaker:

components that are included or excluded

Speaker:

as part of your content creation.

Speaker:

I.

Speaker:

These are often the finer details

Speaker:

where creators can be caught out.

Speaker:

When a brand requests these as

Speaker:

part of your deliverables and you

Speaker:

haven't specified that they're either

Speaker:

expressly included or excluded.

Speaker:

Now in future episodes, we're

Speaker:

going to discuss general terms and

Speaker:

conditions that should be documented

Speaker:

as part of your scope of works.

Speaker:

But today we are going to be turning

Speaker:

our mind to things that you can

Speaker:

easily be caught out on when you

Speaker:

are delivering your brand campaign.

Speaker:

Now, if you've listened to episode

Speaker:

one, understanding the Brief,

Speaker:

you'll have the foundations of how

Speaker:

to review a brief from a brand.

Speaker:

This is really important as it'll

Speaker:

help you define the inclusions

Speaker:

and exclusions for each campaign

Speaker:

that you'll be working on.

Speaker:

Now you might be getting the sense that

Speaker:

there's a lot to consider when putting

Speaker:

together your quote for a campaign.

Speaker:

And there is, and that's because it

Speaker:

is the biggest opportunity you have to

Speaker:

increase your revenue and equity with the

Speaker:

brand, your relationship with the brand.

Speaker:

And it is also the step in the process

Speaker:

where you can make the greatest mistakes.

Speaker:

Now this is why we've dedicated

Speaker:

the first episodes of the podcast,

Speaker:

so you can start to understand the

Speaker:

framework of pricing and quoting when

Speaker:

you are working on brand campaigns.

Speaker:

And to support you get the hang of it.

Speaker:

We are going to give you lots

Speaker:

of resources as you build

Speaker:

your skills in this space.

Speaker:

So listen out to the end of the

Speaker:

episode on where you can grab these.

Speaker:

Let's get started on today's episode.

Speaker:

Now, depending on the type of

Speaker:

campaign you've been engaged to

Speaker:

complete, it might be a brand

Speaker:

collaboration, a public appearance.

Speaker:

Public speaking, a

Speaker:

demonstration or a workshop.

Speaker:

There's lots of different ways we

Speaker:

know that you can work with brands

Speaker:

you'll need to consider and vary

Speaker:

the inclusions and exclusions.

Speaker:

What we're going to do is break

Speaker:

today's episode into two segments.

Speaker:

First up, we've got the inclusions,

Speaker:

and then after that we're

Speaker:

going to look at exclusions.

Speaker:

Starting with the inclusions,

Speaker:

Many of these should be noted as

Speaker:

standard when you prepare your quote

Speaker:

or scope of work for the brand.

Speaker:

And then you can work through

Speaker:

any variables that you might

Speaker:

need to introduce depending

Speaker:

on the elements or style of

Speaker:

campaign that you are working on.

Speaker:

Inclusion number one, pre-approval

Speaker:

and revisions, and I'm talking about

Speaker:

pre-approval of the content that you

Speaker:

produce and the number of revisions that

Speaker:

the brand might be entitled to make if

Speaker:

there is a pre-approval process in play.

Speaker:

Now where possible you really want

Speaker:

to try and remove pre-approval of

Speaker:

your content and any revisions.

Speaker:

The bigger the campaign that you work

Speaker:

on, the more likely it is that the brand

Speaker:

will want pre-approval of your content.

Speaker:

If this is the case, include

Speaker:

pre-approval of content with

Speaker:

say, one round of revision.

Speaker:

So that means that you'll

Speaker:

submit the content to the brand

Speaker:

and you'll give them just one

Speaker:

opportunity to come back and revise.

Speaker:

Now this number of revisions requested by

Speaker:

the brand will vary depending on the type

Speaker:

and volume of content being produced.

Speaker:

So start low with the number of

Speaker:

revisions that the brand is entitled

Speaker:

to, and then negotiate this as part

Speaker:

of your overall campaign negotiation.

Speaker:

But for small entry level

Speaker:

campaigns and probably low

Speaker:

fee, low deliverable campaigns.

Speaker:

Pre-approval of content

Speaker:

really is something that you

Speaker:

should not offer to the brand.

Speaker:

Number two, at tags,

Speaker:

hashtags and swipe up.

Speaker:

So naturally you are going to include

Speaker:

the use of brand nominated hashtags

Speaker:

and you might wanna limit that.

Speaker:

So you might say a maximum of three, the

Speaker:

brand at TAG and a unique u r l swipe up.

Speaker:

So that might be a swipe up that you

Speaker:

are using in an Instagram story or a

Speaker:

link in bio or something like that.

Speaker:

Now you do wanna specify the

Speaker:

maximum number of tags that

Speaker:

you are willing to use and.

Speaker:

You may, depending on what country

Speaker:

you're based in, but it's most likely

Speaker:

that you'll need to allow for something

Speaker:

like hashtag ad or hashtag sponsored

Speaker:

or similar for branded content if

Speaker:

you are not using a native branded

Speaker:

collaboration tool within the platform.

Speaker:

Number three, display of content.

Speaker:

Now, this one is an easy one because

Speaker:

it sits really nicely as a value add.

Speaker:

You can note in your inclusions that

Speaker:

the content will remain on your channels

Speaker:

for the duration of the campaign

Speaker:

period, plus a minimum period of time.

Speaker:

So it could be you are going to let the

Speaker:

brand know that you will display the

Speaker:

post on your feed plus one week plus

Speaker:

six months or two years, it's up to you

Speaker:

to decide, but note that there is an

Speaker:

inclusion because you're probably going

Speaker:

to do it anyway, and it just shows up

Speaker:

as a value add and it demonstrates to

Speaker:

the brand that you're thinking about.

Speaker:

Adding value into the relationship

Speaker:

and adding value to the

Speaker:

content that you are creating.

Speaker:

Number four, a briefing call.

Speaker:

Now, we've spoken about briefing

Speaker:

calls in previous episodes.

Speaker:

Often they won't be required in, uh,

Speaker:

smaller campaigns, again, as you scale

Speaker:

up your campaigns, It's more likely

Speaker:

that brand's going to want some sort

Speaker:

of briefing call with you, so you can

Speaker:

simply note in your inclusions that you

Speaker:

are prepared to attend a briefing call

Speaker:

with full attentiveness to instructions

Speaker:

and directions to ensure mutual success.

Speaker:

It's a really nice wording, a

Speaker:

little bit of warm and fuzzy.

Speaker:

Again, it's showing the brand

Speaker:

that you are committed to

Speaker:

mutual success in this campaign.

Speaker:

Now, if you miss the wording of this

Speaker:

or any other wording that we use

Speaker:

in the episode, have a look at the

Speaker:

show notes afterwards because it

Speaker:

will all be clearly set out there.

Speaker:

now.

Speaker:

Number five, talent

Speaker:

channel distributions.

Speaker:

So in your inclusions, you want to

Speaker:

note the creation and distribution of

Speaker:

content to your channels as described

Speaker:

in your quote or your scope of works.

Speaker:

So what you are saying to the brand is

Speaker:

that you are going to create and publish

Speaker:

this content on your talent channels

Speaker:

So elsewhere in your scope of work, you

Speaker:

might've said, okay, well, we're going

Speaker:

to do three TikTok posts, one Instagram

Speaker:

reel, and three Instagram story sets.

Speaker:

That's in your deliverables,

Speaker:

in your inclusions.

Speaker:

You want to note that

Speaker:

you are going to create.

Speaker:

Distribute the content as

Speaker:

described in the quote or

Speaker:

otherwise as mutually agreed.

Speaker:

Often you'll find during a campaign

Speaker:

that the brand might wanna tweak the

Speaker:

deliverables and you can either agree

Speaker:

to change the deliverables or what you

Speaker:

are required to do, that's sometimes

Speaker:

good because there's an opportunity for.

Speaker:

Creating additional revenue for

Speaker:

yourself or renegotiating the campaign,

Speaker:

but this is some tidy wording for

Speaker:

you to use in your inclusions.

Speaker:

Number six, usage rights include a

Speaker:

statement in your inclusions along

Speaker:

the lines of usage rights for brand

Speaker:

properties as described in this quote.

Speaker:

this is letting the brand know

Speaker:

that they're allowed to use the

Speaker:

content that's created as agreed.

Speaker:

So you.

Speaker:

Might have said in your scope of works or

Speaker:

your quote, that the brand can republish

Speaker:

the content organically on their brand

Speaker:

channels, or you might have said that the

Speaker:

brand can distribute the content through

Speaker:

their own channels and third party

Speaker:

channels, whatever the distribution is.

Speaker:

You just want to note an

Speaker:

inclusion a statement.

Speaker:

That says that you are giving usage

Speaker:

rights to the brand as described,

Speaker:

and that makes it very clear

Speaker:

that any variation to those usage

Speaker:

rights give you some entitlements.

Speaker:

And again, that might be where you

Speaker:

need to come back and renegotiate

Speaker:

a fee or ask for something else.

Speaker:

If the brand has used the content

Speaker:

outside the scope for which was agreed

Speaker:

and for which you've been paid for.

Speaker:

Now in this section here, we're still

Speaker:

talking about inclusions, but I want

Speaker:

to talk a little bit about live events.

Speaker:

as influencers and content

Speaker:

creators, you might.

Speaker:

Often be invited to attend live

Speaker:

events, think film screenings, PR

Speaker:

activations, in-store activations.

Speaker:

There's lots of invitations that

Speaker:

go out from brands now asking

Speaker:

for influencer appearances.

Speaker:

So there's some things that you really

Speaker:

need to consider when you do this.

Speaker:

This is not necessarily the

Speaker:

pretty side of things, but it's a

Speaker:

practical and functional side of

Speaker:

things that you need to consider.

Speaker:

And again, some of these are just

Speaker:

demonstrating value back to the brand

Speaker:

by offering these as your inclusions.

Speaker:

So number seven, the

Speaker:

supply of talent images.

Speaker:

Potentially if you've

Speaker:

got one, a biography.

Speaker:

So if you are going to an event and

Speaker:

the brand wants to do some PR and

Speaker:

you've agreed that that's okay, give

Speaker:

them the image that you want them

Speaker:

to use, if possible, if they're not

Speaker:

taking ones at the event, you know,

Speaker:

so if they're promoting event ahead of

Speaker:

time, give them your favorite bio photo

Speaker:

and your written biography, and that

Speaker:

way you are controlling how you are

Speaker:

being presented in the brand's media.

Speaker:

Number eight, time allowance pre-event.

Speaker:

So just let the brand know

Speaker:

that within your quote, you've

Speaker:

considered a time allowance before

Speaker:

the event to develop resources.

Speaker:

So for instance, if the brands

Speaker:

ask you to come in and deliver

Speaker:

a workshop or maybe recipes or

Speaker:

makeup looks, or a styling session.

Speaker:

You need some time to think about

Speaker:

and plan what you are going to do

Speaker:

at the event and to create relevant

Speaker:

and engaging speaking points.

Speaker:

So you are gonna want to limit the

Speaker:

amount of work you put in pre-event

Speaker:

you might wanna say four hours to

Speaker:

deliver a 40 minute workshop and

Speaker:

review briefing material, but.

Speaker:

Note on your inclusions that

Speaker:

you've made a time allowance for

Speaker:

pre-event to develop resources.

Speaker:

And then similarly, as we

Speaker:

move into number nine, a

Speaker:

time allowance on event day.

Speaker:

So this is the time allowance that

Speaker:

you are making on the day of the event

Speaker:

for any final briefing or preparation

Speaker:

or run sheet responsibilities.

Speaker:

So if you're turning up to a, a

Speaker:

movie premier, that's one thing.

Speaker:

But you might be speaking

Speaker:

on stage for a brand.

Speaker:

You might be invited to attend as

Speaker:

a, a keynote speaker or speak on

Speaker:

a panel, so you'll need to make

Speaker:

allowance on the day to go in.

Speaker:

You'll need to be.

Speaker:

mic'd up.

Speaker:

You might need to have technical checks.

Speaker:

You might need a time allowance

Speaker:

for professional hair and makeup.

Speaker:

They might want rehearsals.

Speaker:

So you need to consider what time

Speaker:

allowances needed on event day and

Speaker:

bring that into your inclusions.

Speaker:

And continuing to talk about live events

Speaker:

for the remainder of these inclusions.

Speaker:

Now I wanna speak about event assets.

Speaker:

So, If there is a live event, there's a

Speaker:

strong likelihood that the brand is going

Speaker:

to want to capture their own assets,

Speaker:

their own photos and videos, soundbites,

Speaker:

whatever, during the event for organic

Speaker:

display on their, brand channels, or

Speaker:

potentially for PR and pay distribution.

Speaker:

So, If you are including this as part

Speaker:

of your deliverables, you obviously

Speaker:

need to factor it into your pricing.

Speaker:

, but you know, if you're going to a

Speaker:

movie premier, you probably wanna

Speaker:

say, yep, that's great PR for me.

Speaker:

I don't need to worry about that,

Speaker:

but, If you are paid to speak at an

Speaker:

event, you don't necessarily want the

Speaker:

brand to capture all the assets and

Speaker:

then use them at their discretion in

Speaker:

brand created content when being paid.

Speaker:

So think about the event that you

Speaker:

are attending and think about what.

Speaker:

Assets that the brand might create from

Speaker:

that event, and whether you want to

Speaker:

include those as part of deliverables,

Speaker:

so you quote and be paid for them, or

Speaker:

they're just like PR opportunities that

Speaker:

you're going to give the brand for free.

Speaker:

Something also that you'll need to think

Speaker:

about at number 11 is the wardrobe.

Speaker:

Occasionally you might be required to

Speaker:

wear a specific wardrobe for an event.

Speaker:

Usually most people prefer to

Speaker:

wear their own clothes and,

Speaker:

you know, you will supply the

Speaker:

wardrobe and that will probably

Speaker:

nine times out of 10 be the case.

Speaker:

So again, An inclusion you can note

Speaker:

on your quote is the wardrobe will

Speaker:

be supplied by the talent unless

Speaker:

otherwise requested by the brand.

Speaker:

Again, that's just showing the brand that

Speaker:

you are thinking about what they might

Speaker:

need on the day and how you are preparing

Speaker:

and committed to that mutual success.

Speaker:

Another inclusion, a license

Speaker:

for the brand to publish

Speaker:

material on talent channels.

Speaker:

Number 13, a commitment to success.

Speaker:

So you can include a statement

Speaker:

along the lines of an experienced

Speaker:

creator or in brackets team if

Speaker:

you have one to deliver end-to-end

Speaker:

campaign or event deliverables.

Speaker:

And this is a nice, you know, warm

Speaker:

and fuzzy to include before we

Speaker:

start moving into the exclusions,

Speaker:

which should sit underneath.

Speaker:

And in the next section of your

Speaker:

quote or statement of work, When we

Speaker:

talk about exclusions, you might be

Speaker:

uncomfortable about stating what is

Speaker:

excluded on a quote or your, your

Speaker:

scope or statement of works, but

Speaker:

it is really important to do this.

Speaker:

As we said at the top of the

Speaker:

episode, you don't wanna be caught

Speaker:

out partway through a campaign.

Speaker:

Or even at the end of a campaign when

Speaker:

the brand has an expectation that

Speaker:

you are going to do something that

Speaker:

you potentially haven't considered.

Speaker:

The really nice thing about doing all

Speaker:

this groundwork upfront, so reviewing

Speaker:

the brief, doing your upsells,

Speaker:

pricing, your campaign, looking

Speaker:

at your inclusions and exclusions,

Speaker:

it's setting a really transparent

Speaker:

framework of how you are going to

Speaker:

work with the brand on this campaign.

Speaker:

So nothing's left.

Speaker:

Up in the air no one's unsure

Speaker:

about what's going to happen

Speaker:

as the campaign unfolds.

Speaker:

it's a positive thing to do this

Speaker:

because also when you cite an

Speaker:

exclusion, the brand might come back

Speaker:

to you and say, Hey, actually we

Speaker:

thought this was going to be included.

Speaker:

Are you able to include it for us?

Speaker:

And that gives you.

Speaker:

A beautiful opportunity to say,

Speaker:

I'd be delighted to include

Speaker:

this, and the fee for including

Speaker:

this component is this much.

Speaker:

So it gives you an opportunity to

Speaker:

have that negotiation and dialogue

Speaker:

with the brand and potentially upsell.

Speaker:

Or alternatively you can, include that.

Speaker:

So take an exclusion and move

Speaker:

it up into your inclusions

Speaker:

as a value add to the brand.

Speaker:

So you might go back to the

Speaker:

brand and say, you know what?

Speaker:

Typically I charge to include this work.

Speaker:

as part of my deliverables, however,

Speaker:

as a value add to you for this

Speaker:

campaign, I'm willing to include it

Speaker:

without any further charge to you.

Speaker:

So there's ways that you

Speaker:

can frame it positively.

Speaker:

And I actually enjoy this process

Speaker:

because a, as I said earlier, it

Speaker:

sets transparency for how you're

Speaker:

going to be working with the brand.

Speaker:

But it's also still part of this

Speaker:

ongoing negotiation process.

Speaker:

You're kind of nutting out the detail

Speaker:

and often when we raise these things in

Speaker:

our documents, in our quote, the brand

Speaker:

might not even have thought of something.

Speaker:

So they might not have, considered.

Speaker:

You need to have time allowance,

Speaker:

pre-event, or that they wanted

Speaker:

pre-approval of your content, so it

Speaker:

might trigger the brand to tighten up

Speaker:

their brief or the campaign itself.

Speaker:

So it is a really good opportunity

Speaker:

to have that dialogue with the brand.

Speaker:

So let's start talking about exclusions.

Speaker:

Number one is content quality.

Speaker:

I always note this is

Speaker:

my number one exclusion.

Speaker:

It's a habit, and the statement

Speaker:

that I include is professional

Speaker:

editing of talent, content

Speaker:

not supplied by the brand.

Speaker:

And this means that the content

Speaker:

that you are going to supply.

Speaker:

Is what the brand would

Speaker:

typically see you produce.

Speaker:

Publish on your own channels

Speaker:

and that you are not going to

Speaker:

have it professionally edited.

Speaker:

Pretty straightforward.

Speaker:

Number two, supply of product.

Speaker:

Now, as we spoke about in

Speaker:

previous episodes, it's most

Speaker:

likely that you are going to be

Speaker:

promoting a product, sometimes

Speaker:

services, but generally a product.

Speaker:

So the brand has to be responsible

Speaker:

for supply of product to you if

Speaker:

you have to pay for a product.

Speaker:

That's not an influencer campaign,

Speaker:

that's a sale for the brand, right?

Speaker:

So you should not be paying

Speaker:

for the supply of any product.

Speaker:

So note it there as an exclusion

Speaker:

on your quote or statement of work.

Speaker:

Number three, faulty

Speaker:

and or missing product.

Speaker:

Again, this relates to the

Speaker:

brand supplying the product.

Speaker:

So if they.

Speaker:

Supplying the product.

Speaker:

Make sure that you also cover off that

Speaker:

they're responsible for replacing any

Speaker:

faulty, missing, or undelivered product.

Speaker:

Number four, return of product.

Speaker:

Note that there will not be a

Speaker:

return of any products that are

Speaker:

used for your talent content.

Speaker:

So the brand might try it on and say

Speaker:

to you, Hey, yep, we are gonna give you

Speaker:

this product, but after you've finished

Speaker:

with it, we'd like you to return it.

Speaker:

No.

Speaker:

No, there might be

Speaker:

exceptions to this rule and.

Speaker:

We have worked with brands where we might

Speaker:

be producing content and there's only

Speaker:

demonstration models available, or very

Speaker:

limited quantities of product available.

Speaker:

I.

Speaker:

So sometimes we need to make a variation

Speaker:

or consideration if this is the case,

Speaker:

but if the product has to be returned,

Speaker:

note that it needs to be at the brand

Speaker:

expense with reasonable wear and tear,

Speaker:

because you'll be using the product

Speaker:

to create content, and there might be

Speaker:

some wear and tear that happens as a

Speaker:

consequence of you creating your content.

Speaker:

So just have that clearly noted

Speaker:

because all of a sudden you do

Speaker:

not want the brand coming back

Speaker:

to you and say, Hey, there's a.

Speaker:

A scratch on this or a wrinkle or a tear.

Speaker:

If it's reasonable, wear and tear.

Speaker:

Number five is on props.

Speaker:

Now, we don't use this often, but

Speaker:

it's been requested often enough

Speaker:

for me to want to raise this for

Speaker:

you to consider as an exclusion.

Speaker:

So if brands have requested the

Speaker:

use of specific props in your

Speaker:

content, so that's in addition to

Speaker:

any product that they might supply.

Speaker:

You need to note that these are excluded.

Speaker:

Or you need to have costed them

Speaker:

into your quote Number six in our

Speaker:

exclusions, and that's exclusivity.

Speaker:

Again, we've spoken about this

Speaker:

across our previous episodes.

Speaker:

It's really important that you consider

Speaker:

exclusivity and where possible.

Speaker:

Avoid granting exclusivity to the brand.

Speaker:

Don't give the brand exclusivity because

Speaker:

it is unlikely that the brand is going

Speaker:

to want to pay you the fee that should

Speaker:

be aligned to any exclusivity provisions.

Speaker:

So noted on there that

Speaker:

exclusivity is excluded.

Speaker:

Number seven, date blockouts.

Speaker:

Now, you might already have other

Speaker:

campaigns booked on your content

Speaker:

calendar, or you have specific exclusion

Speaker:

periods due to other commitments.

Speaker:

You know, a common example of this

Speaker:

might be is if you have campaign

Speaker:

exclusivity with another brand.

Speaker:

So you've successfully negotiated.

Speaker:

Exclusivity or content with another

Speaker:

brand, and you do not wanna dilute the

Speaker:

value of that content by saturating

Speaker:

your feed with additional spun con.

Speaker:

Or you might have been cast on a

Speaker:

TV show and the network might have

Speaker:

control or rights over your channel.

Speaker:

So if you need to consider date

Speaker:

blockouts as an exclusion, you

Speaker:

could use wording such as any date

Speaker:

exclusions for publication of content

Speaker:

on talent channels will be subject

Speaker:

to the confirmation of the talent.

Speaker:

All of these exclusions are quite

Speaker:

important, but the next four I want

Speaker:

you to give me your full attention

Speaker:

for these ones are extra important.

Speaker:

Number eight.

Speaker:

Campaign insights.

Speaker:

So this is the end of the campaign

Speaker:

or campaign progress insights or

Speaker:

social metrics for any content

Speaker:

delivered via your channels.

Speaker:

Again, we've spoken about this in

Speaker:

previous episodes and that metrics

Speaker:

reporting is time consuming and

Speaker:

you want to avoid it if possible

Speaker:

unless you are getting paid.

Speaker:

Properly to prepare reporting.

Speaker:

Do not provide the insights to the brand.

Speaker:

At minimum, you may elect to give

Speaker:

them some screenshots of your

Speaker:

analytics and insights, but if

Speaker:

the brand is requesting a report,

Speaker:

charge a fee to prepare a report.

Speaker:

And if you've been engaged by a brand

Speaker:

to deliver content over an extended

Speaker:

period of time, so three months or six

Speaker:

months, or 12 months, and the brand

Speaker:

wants interim reporting, you might

Speaker:

also want to consider pricing that in.

Speaker:

So otherwise you should

Speaker:

note it as an exclusion.

Speaker:

now.

Speaker:

The next three statements are

Speaker:

just clear copy and paste.

Speaker:

If you can't write the words quickly

Speaker:

down as you're listening to the

Speaker:

podcast, go to the show notes and

Speaker:

copy and paste the wording, which

Speaker:

will be on display on the website.

Speaker:

Number nine, content distribution.

Speaker:

Your statement to write is

Speaker:

distribution of any content in any

Speaker:

format, including usage rights for

Speaker:

social and digital media, tv, radio.

Speaker:

O o h.

Speaker:

Which stands for out of home

Speaker:

or print publications unless

Speaker:

otherwise specified number 10.

Speaker:

The statement you are going to

Speaker:

write is content rights, any

Speaker:

content, distribution, purpose, use

Speaker:

territory, or term, not expressly

Speaker:

covered in this scope of work.

Speaker:

Or call it a quote if you're

Speaker:

calling your document a quote.

Speaker:

And finally, number

Speaker:

11, reuse of material.

Speaker:

Reuse of material for future campaigns.

Speaker:

Now, these might sound somewhat similar,

Speaker:

but they do have different meanings, so

Speaker:

it's really good to expressly make these

Speaker:

statements so it's very clear to the

Speaker:

brand that they cannot use your content

Speaker:

in any way unless it's been agreed.

Speaker:

Now we're very close to wrapping

Speaker:

up our exclusions and today's

Speaker:

episode, but I've got three more

Speaker:

exclusions I want you to consider.

Speaker:

And these are in relation to live events.

Speaker:

So earlier in the episode we

Speaker:

discussed some inclusions that you

Speaker:

want to consider for live events.

Speaker:

And now we're going to give

Speaker:

you the exclusions you want to

Speaker:

consider for live events if you

Speaker:

are participating in live events.

Speaker:

Number one is travel costs.

Speaker:

If you need to fly somewhere and have

Speaker:

accommodation and airport transfers,

Speaker:

you want to be paid for that.

Speaker:

And similarly, you might

Speaker:

also want to be paid for.

Speaker:

A local transfer, perhaps you

Speaker:

need to go to an event, it's

Speaker:

going to finish very late.

Speaker:

You know that there might be potentially

Speaker:

alcohol consumption or you do not

Speaker:

wanna drive, or you do not wanna

Speaker:

park, or parking is not practical

Speaker:

in the location you're going to.

Speaker:

So consider the.

Speaker:

Travel costs

Speaker:

and you might want to say something like

Speaker:

travel costs, including any flights or

Speaker:

transfers for any location outside your,

Speaker:

insert the name of your city, metro area.

Speaker:

Number two, hair and makeup.

Speaker:

If you are doing a live event, and

Speaker:

especially if that live event is

Speaker:

being filmed or recorded, you probably

Speaker:

wanna have professional hair and

Speaker:

makeup done, and if you're in that

Speaker:

space, you might be aware that.

Speaker:

The level of professional hair and

Speaker:

makeup that is done is different for

Speaker:

photography than it is for filming.

Speaker:

So the cost scales up depending

Speaker:

on what is being produced.

Speaker:

So you want the brand to

Speaker:

cover hair and makeup costs.

Speaker:

This also applies probably if

Speaker:

you're doing a campaign shoot

Speaker:

for the brand on location.

Speaker:

And Finally number three is insurance.

Speaker:

You want to make sure the

Speaker:

brand has fulfilled their

Speaker:

obligations around insurance.

Speaker:

Now, you should probably

Speaker:

have your own insurance.

Speaker:

Again, that's going to vary depending on.

Speaker:

Where you are based,

Speaker:

what country you live in.

Speaker:

But I have seen people fall

Speaker:

off stages, break bones, suffer

Speaker:

injuries, trip backstage.

Speaker:

These things happen and you do not think

Speaker:

about them until it happens to you.

Speaker:

Or someone you know.

Speaker:

So you do wanna think about your

Speaker:

own insurance, but you want to

Speaker:

check with the brand that they've

Speaker:

got proper insurance in place.

Speaker:

So you can note that down as an exclusion

Speaker:

on your quote or statement of work.

Speaker:

So there we have it.

Speaker:

There was again, a lot of information

Speaker:

there and if you are new to this

Speaker:

space, it's going to feel perhaps quite

Speaker:

unfamiliar and quite uncomfortable,

Speaker:

and this might need to be an episode

Speaker:

that you listen back over or you

Speaker:

listen to with the show notes

Speaker:

that are available on the website.

Speaker:

Just take your time.

Speaker:

When you are learning to quote

Speaker:

campaigns, it is a skill that you'll.

Speaker:

Build and learn just like you've learned

Speaker:

to edit your videos and learn about the

Speaker:

best ring light and what angle suits

Speaker:

you when you're creating content or

Speaker:

your best s e o practices if you are a

Speaker:

blogger or how to cook a great recipe.

Speaker:

If you are a recipe creator, you

Speaker:

have the skills to learn this.

Speaker:

Because you are a content creator, so

Speaker:

you do understand all of these things

Speaker:

that we are talking about today.

Speaker:

You just need to start incorporating

Speaker:

them into your practices when you

Speaker:

are quoting and working with a brand.

Speaker:

So we need to stop and think about

Speaker:

the process that you're going

Speaker:

to go through when creating your

Speaker:

campaign or event with the brand.

Speaker:

Write a list of all the things that

Speaker:

you'll need to do to complete the

Speaker:

deliverables and use this to draw

Speaker:

up your inclusions and exclusions.

Speaker:

Taking the time to do this when

Speaker:

quoting and negotiating the

Speaker:

campaign really can save a lot

Speaker:

of heartache if things go wrong.

Speaker:

And also it's got the added benefit of

Speaker:

making sure that you've properly priced

Speaker:

your campaign and made as much profit.

Speaker:

As possible from your work, the

Speaker:

lists that we've spoken about today.

Speaker:

So the inclusions and the exclusions,

Speaker:

they're not exhaustive, they're not

Speaker:

all the inclusions and exclusions that

Speaker:

you'll ever need on a brand campaign.

Speaker:

As we've mentioned in previous

Speaker:

episodes, each campaign's different.

Speaker:

So you've gotta put

Speaker:

your thinking caps on.

Speaker:

The list we've spoken about today is

Speaker:

a starting point for you to consider

Speaker:

the whole process of delivering

Speaker:

your campaign and what needs to

Speaker:

be costed into your quote or what

Speaker:

needs to be covered by the brand.

Speaker:

I.

Speaker:

Creating content takes skill and effort.

Speaker:

You want to be properly rewarded for this

Speaker:

and make enough money for your efforts.

Speaker:

There's nothing worse than being

Speaker:

out of pocket on a campaign.

Speaker:

We all know that exposure

Speaker:

does not pay the bills.

Speaker:

So I hope you found the Inclusions

Speaker:

and Exclusions episode useful.

Speaker:

You can grab all of the detailed

Speaker:

show notes and the wording that I've

Speaker:

spoken about from today's episode,

Speaker:

plus additional resources at the

Speaker:

business of influence.com/ep four.

Speaker:

That's EP four.

Speaker:

In our first four episodes, we've

Speaker:

really done a lot of work on

Speaker:

setting you up to understand a

Speaker:

brief and price your campaign.

Speaker:

We nearly completed these fundamentals

Speaker:

and we're going to do that.

Speaker:

Across the next few episodes.

Speaker:

We are going to be talking about the

Speaker:

importance of a scope of work and

Speaker:

how to prepare a scope of work.

Speaker:

Next week's episode, we are going to

Speaker:

talk about how you get paid on time.

Speaker:

Because as we said earlier, we wanna

Speaker:

be paid and rewarded for our efforts.

Speaker:

So it's really important to introduce

Speaker:

a few tactics on how to get paid on

Speaker:

time for your campaign, and that's what

Speaker:

we'll talk about in next week's episode.
