How to Write a Join Request That Gets You Accepted Every Time
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:
- Do you actually watch their content?
- Do you have an engaged audience on at least one platform?
- 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
