How Deal Offers Work on Lemyi

On Lemyi, a deal offer is the moment when interest turns into a real, structured opportunity. It is the bridge between shortlisting and paid work, and it exists to remove ambiguity around scope, payment, and expectations.

Deals on Lemyi are intentionally admin-created and admin-reviewed. This is a core design choice that protects creators from unpaid work, unclear terms, and last-minute changes.


When a deal offer is created

A deal offer can only be created after a creator has been shortlisted.

The flow works like this:

  • A brand shortlists one or more creators for a job

  • The brand selects a specific creator and requests a deal offer

  • Admin reviews the request and creates the deal

Creators cannot negotiate deals in DMs, and brands cannot create deals directly. Every deal goes through admin review before it is sent.

This ensures that only serious, well-defined offers reach creators.


What a deal offer includes

Every deal offer on Lemyi is structured and complete before it reaches a creator.

A deal typically includes:

  • The exact deliverables required

  • The agreed compensation amount

  • The project timeline and deadlines

  • Usage rights and content permissions

  • Any special terms related to the job

There are no hidden expectations. If it is not written into the deal, it is not required.


Why deals are created by Admin

Admin-created deals are one of the most important safeguards on Lemyi.

This structure exists to ensure:

  • The deal matches the approved job and budget

  • Deliverables are realistic and clearly defined

  • Platform rules and guardrails are followed

  • Payment requirements are in place before work begins

It also prevents brands from changing terms after a creator has already agreed.

Once a deal is sent, the terms are fixed unless Admin explicitly intervenes.


What happens before a deal is sent to you

Before a deal offer is sent to a creator, the system checks that:

  • Deliverables are fully defined

  • Compensation is set and valid

  • Usage rights are specified

  • A valid platform fee rule exists

  • The deal complies with marketplace rules

If anything is missing or unclear, the deal does not proceed.

This prevents creators from receiving incomplete or risky offers.


Receiving a deal offer as a creator

When a deal offer is sent to you, you will be notified and can review the full terms.

At this stage:

  • No work has started

  • No payment has been released

  • You are not obligated to accept

You should review the deal carefully and confirm that:

  • The scope matches what you are willing to deliver

  • The timeline works for you

  • The compensation reflects the work required

If something does not align, you can decline the offer without penalty.


Accepting or declining a deal offer

You have full control over whether to accept a deal.

If you accept:

  • You are agreeing to the defined terms

  • Work will only begin after payment is confirmed

  • Messaging for the deal becomes available

If you decline:

  • The deal attempt ends

  • The job remains active

  • The brand may request an offer from another creator

Declining a deal does not affect your standing on the platform.


When work officially starts

Work on Lemyi only begins after three conditions are met:

  1. The deal is accepted by the brand

  2. Payment is confirmed and secured

  3. The creator accepts the deal

Until all three happen, you should not begin work, prepare drafts, or deliver content.

This rule exists to protect creators from unpaid or uncertain work.


Why this system protects creators

This deal structure prevents common issues seen on other platforms, such as:

  • Brands disappearing after “soft” agreements

  • Scope creep after acceptance

  • Pressure to start work before payment

  • Negotiations happening in private messages

On Lemyi, a deal is a commitment, not a conversation.
