About this e-learning material

Sponsored content is paid content a creator produces for a brand, such as a post, video or story that features its product. Done well, it supports the brand's goals without breaking the trust your audience has in you, which is why planning matters as much as the content itself.

What this material covers
• Deciding which sponsorships fit your niche and values
• Blending a brand message into your usual content style
• Choosing formats for feed posts, short video and stories
• Clear disclosure of paid partnerships
• Reviewing how sponsored posts perform compared with regular content

Who it is for
Creators preparing for their first paid partnerships, and those who already post sponsored content and want it to feel less like an advert.

Work through each topic at your own pace and use it to plan your next sponsored post with a clearer structure.
