If you’re a creator or influencer, managing brand deals can feel like a full-time job. Between contracts, deliverables, deadlines, and late payments, it’s easy for details to slip through the cracks. And when brand deals are your income, staying organized isn’t optional—it directly affects your cashflow, your stress levels, and your ability to scale.
If you’ve ever missed a payment, forgotten a due date, or spent too much time digging through email threads, this guide breaks down exactly how to track brand deals efficiently—and why thousands of creators are turning to Alfie to simplify everything.
Why Tracking Brand Deals Matters
Creators today juggle:
-
Multiple brand partners
-
Different deliverables across platforms
-
Confusing payment terms
-
Inconsistent communication
-
Net-30, 45, 60, or even 90-day payouts
Without a proper system, creators risk:
-
Missing payments
-
Delivering late content
-
Losing repeat brand partnerships
-
Disorganized finances during tax season
-
Zero visibility into future income
Efficient tracking = predictable income, better relationships, and smoother workflows.
Traditional Ways Creators Track Brand Deals (and Their Problems)
1. Spreadsheets
Works at first—but quickly becomes overwhelming.
Hard to update, easy to forget, and doesn’t show real-time payment status.
2. Notes App or Notion
Great for planning content, but not for tracking payments across dozens of deals.
3. Email & DMs
The fastest way to lose a contract, invoice, or deadline.
4. Agency Project Tools
Built for teams, not creators—and definitely not built for predicting cashflow.
Creators need something built specifically for how they work.
