How it works
Every step, in the open.
A deal on YT Matcher is never a black box. Here is the whole journey — from the first match to the final payout — including exactly where your money sits at each stage.
- 01
Pick a side
Sign up as a Brand chasing reach or a Creator chasing deals. Your role shapes everything you see next.
- 02
Get matched
We rank by genuine fit — audience, niche, and tone — so the first intro is already a good one.
- 03
Open a deal
One click starts a shared thread. Scope, price, and timeline live in one place both sides can see.
- 04Coming soon
Fund escrow
Money is held safely until the work ships — visible to both sides the whole time. Nobody fronts, nobody ghosts.
- 05
Chat live
Real-time messaging keeps things moving. Every message stays attached to the deal, on the record.
- 06
Ship & get paid
Work lands, payment releases. An email nudge brings anyone back before a deal can stall in silence.
The trust step
Where your money sits — the whole time.
Escrow is coming soon. When it lands, every deal will move through three clear states, and both sides can see which one they are in.
- 01
Funded
When both sides agree, the brand commits the budget. It leaves the brand’s account and is locked for this deal only.
- 02
Held
The money sits in escrow — visible to both sides — while the creator does the work. It cannot be touched or clawed back mid-deal.
- 03
Released
The work ships, the brand approves, and funds release to the creator. Disputes pause the release until it is resolved fairly.
