From zero to first deal in 30–60 days.
Every step from signup to getting paid. No black boxes. No gotchas.
- 01
Build your profile · 5 minutes
Name, sport, position, school, graduation year, hometown, school city, Instagram OR TikTok handle. Photo is optional. We draft a one-sentence bio from your info — edit it or keep it.
- 02
Verification · same-day
DM our Instagram account from the handle you signed up with — we reply with a one-time code to enter in your dashboard. This proves you own the account. We also cross-reference your social content with your school and sport. This protects your name and keeps local businesses confident they're talking to real athletes.
- 03
Build your deal menu
This is the most important step. Check the boxes for deal types you'll accept: cash per social post ($1–500), product/service deals (meals, gym access, etc. — you pick the frequency), or in-store appearances ($1–500). Each checkbox has a default amount — adjust up or down to set your minimum. Also pick which cities we'll pitch in (your hometown is pre-added) and which business categories interest you.
- 04
Your target list populates instantly
As soon as you pick your cities and categories, we pull hundreds of local businesses from that area — name, address, category, rating — and show them to you on the next screen. No waiting.
- 05
Review & remove anyone you don't want
Nothing sends until you say go. See every business on the list. Remove individuals or bulk-remove by category. Add names to your skip list and they're never pitched again — even in future rounds. One click starts outreach.
- 06
Outreach goes out — from you, paced to stay effective
NILPro writes each pitch to the specific business — their location, their reviews, why you'd be a good fit — and queues it in your dashboard. You hit send (or have NILPro relay it from your connected inbox) so the From line is always you. Paced to stay out of spam filters. Pause anytime in one click.
- 07
Responses land · 7–14 days
Every reply falls into one of three buckets in your dashboard: YES (business accepts your terms), COUNTER (business offers different terms), or NO (not interested). You see them all as they come in.
- 08
Yes-responses come back ready to sign
When a business says yes to your terms, NILPro auto-fills our contract template with those exact terms — compensation, deliverables, timeline, compliance reminders. You review and sign. If a business counters, NILPro surfaces the counter in your dashboard and gives you a one-click reply template — you send the response from your own inbox, every time.
- 09
Deliver & get paid
Payment goes direct from the business to you (Venmo, Zelle, check — whatever you set up). Post the promoted content. Log the deal in your dashboard. Watch your portfolio grow — every closed deal makes the next one easier.
