1. Always Use a Legal Agreement
Have your Model Release and Content Usage Agreement ready. Bonus if you use a Collab Agreement that covers who owns what, where it’s going, and any limits - and you can use Collab Pro to set this up ahead of time.
2. Respect Boundaries
Talk about hard limits, soft limits, and vibe. Consent isn’t just sexy—it’s professional.
3. Protect Your Brand
Don’t shoot content that feels off-brand just to please someone else. If you’re a softcore creator, don’t get roped into a hardcore scene for clout.
4. Share Content Fairly
Use file-sharing platforms with expiration links (like Collab Pro). Don’t gate-keep or post without tagging and crediting.
5. Communicate About Promotion
Make a simple plan for posting dates, tags, and any promo codes. Transparency builds trust.
Red Flag Reminder: If someone refuses to sign paperwork, doesn’t show up on time, or gets weird about boundaries—walk away.
