What is an Application Page? Aspire allows you to create a custom, branded application page to recruit people to join your campaign. This application page will not only represent your brand and introduce your campaign, but it also collects the must-have information you’ll need to vet applicants. Make it exciting and attractive to applicants to build your collaboration team.
Step 1: Select a template
Each campaign can have its own Application Page, choose whether you want a quick & easy version or rather a more customized version!
Open your campaign and click Find Creators in the left menu. On the Create Application Page card, click Create to get started.
Choose between the Quick Template, the Customizable Template, or a duplicate from an existing application page from another campaign:
Quick Template: This template is a simple, easy-to-view application page with fewer requirements. It only requires a logo, a hero image (or video), and 2 text fields. It also has standardized compensation and availability sections where you can choose from an array of options, plus a field for your brand's social handles.
Customizable Template: This template allows you to really focus on the look and feel of the application page. This provides the opportunity to add more images and customized text fields.
Duplicate Template: Assists in making minor edits to an already existing page so you don't have to start from scratch. Helpful if you already have logos for your brand set up.
📣 Pro tip: You can also access the Application Page using the Settings button in the upper right-hand corner of your campaign!
Step 2: Customize each section
Fill out the following sections to create and customize your application page:
Design settings (palette icon): This is where you can edit the overall look and feel of your application page, from setting the page URL and changing the colors and fonts, to uploading your brand logo and favicon (favicon is only on the Customizable Template).
Intro: This is a brief introduction of your brand, what you do, and what your mission is.
About: This is where you’ll provide a brief description of your campaign and upload images to represent your brand.
Perks: This is where you’ll highlight the benefits and compensation that creators will receive if they partner with you.
Persona: This is where you’ll list out the characteristics you are looking for in a creator. (Only on Customizable Template)
Form: This is the form that creators will be filling out to provide you with their information, so make sure you only ask for the details you actually need.
If you marked this campaign as "unpaid" in your Campaign Settings, you can customize the checkbox label and description for the unpaid indicator by going to your Form and scrolling to the bottom.
📣 Pro tip: If you are using the Customizable Template, you can hide certain application page sections if you think they may be irrelevant to your campaign by toggling off the show switch at the top of that section (for example, “Show persona section”).
Step 3: Save and share
Once everything looks good, click "Save & View" to save your page and open it in a new tab. After the first save, use "Save" for any later changes.
This will create a live URL, but it will not be visible to anyone until you share the link, send an invite, or publish your campaign to our Marketplace. Saving your page also adds the Invite Email tab to your campaign Settings. Before inviting creators, make sure you customize your Invite Email!
Once your application page is complete, you can publish it to our Creator Marketplace to generate more inbound interest. Check out this article to learn how!
Note: The List on Marketplace card in Find Creators stays locked until you've created an application page.
