No brand deals? Good. You can still monetize.
Brand deals are nice, but they’re not the only lane. In Pakistan, a lot of creators wait for “a big brand” and waste months. The smart move is building income you control: affiliate commissions, services, digital products, and paid communities.
3 income streams creators can start this week
- Affiliate marketing: promote products you actually like, earn commission on sales.
- Services: content editing, UGC shooting, scripting, product photography.
- Education: templates, mini-courses, and paid workshops (keep it practical).
The affiliate playbook (street-smart version)
Affiliate isn’t about “posting links”. It’s about building demand and removing friction.
- Pick 1 audience: students, young professionals, moms, fitness crowd, gadget lovers.
- Pick 1 problem: “budget skincare”, “work from home setup”, “Eid outfits”, “student-friendly phones”.
- Make content that answers: comparisons, do’s/don’ts, best picks under PKR X.
- Distribute everywhere: TikTok, Instagram, WhatsApp status, and DM replies.
What to post (content ideas that convert)
- Top 3 picks under PKR 5,000 / 10,000 / 20,000.
- “If you’re this type of person…” personalized recommendations.
- Before/after (only if legit).
- Simple reviews (what you liked, what you didn’t).
- FAQ posts (shipping, size, warranty, returns).
How to make brands come to you later
When you prove you can drive sales, brands treat you differently. They stop asking “how many followers?” and start asking “how many conversions?” Build your proof: screenshots of performance (no fake flex), clear niche, and consistent content.
