A media kit is the single most useful document a creator can own. It is your one-page pitch — the thing you send the moment a brand asks “tell us about yourself” or “what are your rates?” A good one makes you look professional, speeds up deals, and helps you charge what you are worth. Here is exactly how to make an influencer media kit, plus a free template you can copy.
What is a media kit?
An influencer media kit (sometimes called a “creator deck” or “rate card”) is a short document — usually one to two pages — that summarises who you are, who your audience is, and what it costs to work with you. Think of it as your CV for brand collaborations. You send it as a PDF or a link.
What to include in your media kit
A strong media kit has seven sections:
- Header — your name/handle, a clear photo, your niche, and location. One line: “Bangalore skincare & beauty creator.”
- Short bio — 2–3 sentences on who you are and what makes your content different.
- Platforms & stats — each platform, follower count, and (most important) your engagement rate.
- Audience demographics — age range, gender split, top cities/countries, and main interests. Pull these from your Instagram/YouTube insights.
- Content examples — 2–4 of your best posts, ideally past brand work, with any results.
- Past collaborations — brands you have worked with (barter counts) and a testimonial if you have one.
- Rate card & contact — your prices per deliverable and your business email.

How to find your stats
- Instagram: switch to a Professional account, then open Insights for reach, engagement, and audience demographics.
- YouTube: use YouTube Studio → Analytics → Audience for age, location, and watch data.
- Engagement rate: (average likes + comments + saves) ÷ followers × 100. Show it prominently — it is often your strongest selling point.
Design tips that make you look professional
- Keep it to one or two pages. Brands skim — respect their time.
- Use a free tool like Canva. Start from a media-kit template and match your personal brand colours.
- Lead with your best content and your engagement rate, not just follower count.
- Export as PDF so formatting never breaks, and keep a link version for quick sharing.
- Update it every 1–2 months as your stats and rates grow.
Common media kit mistakes
- Only showing follower count. Engagement and audience fit sell better.
- No rate card. Brands want to know what you cost — leaving it out slows the deal.
- Outdated numbers. Stale stats undersell you and look careless.
- Too long or cluttered. One clean page beats five busy ones.
- No contact method. Always end with your business email.
