How to Write a Join Request That Gets You Accepted Every Time

November 28, 2024·4 min read

Your First Impression Matters

Creators reviewing join requests see dozens of applications. Most are vague, generic, and forgettable. A great request takes under 5 minutes to write but dramatically increases your acceptance rate.

What Creators Actually Look For

Before writing a single word, understand what matters to the creator:

  1. Do you actually watch their content?
  2. Do you have an engaged audience on at least one platform?
  3. Can you communicate clearly and professionally?

The Formula That Works

Open with genuine knowledge. Reference a specific video, moment, or series you loved. This proves you're a real fan, not a mass-applicant.

Describe your audience. Tell them who follows you, what they engage with, and why it aligns with the creator's content.

Show your track record. Link to 2-3 of your best clips. If you're new, link to your best short-form content overall.

Keep it short. Three tight paragraphs maximum. Creators are busy.

Example of a Winning Request

"I've been watching your content for two years — the prank on your brother in the desert (the camping series) had me watching the whole series twice. I have 45K TikTok followers in the Arabic comedy niche with an average of 12% engagement rate. Here are my two strongest clips: [link] [link]. I'd love to help your best moments reach more people."

That's it. Specific, brief, evidence-backed.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Generic openers like "I love your content" with no specifics
  • Listing your follower count without showing engagement quality
  • Submitting with no portfolio links
  • Writing more than 200 words — creators scan, they don't read essays
