Creator management has real agencies and real scams. Creators have reported losing access to accounts, being locked into long contracts and being pushed past their limits. A few questions up front protect you.
You should always be able to log in, change your password and see your earnings. Be careful with any agency that wants to change your payout details or keep your login from you.
The percentage, what it covers and when it is paid should be written down before anything starts. Vague answers about money are a warning sign.
A fair agreement tells you exactly how to end it. Very long terms, automatic renewals and big exit fees deserve a hard look, ideally from a lawyer.
Chatting, pricing, promotion, safety. Ask who does each part and how you will see results. A real agency can explain its process simply.
A legit agency can usually connect you with someone it works with now. If it cannot or will not, factor that in.
You decide what content you make. Any pressure to go further than you are comfortable with is a reason to walk away.
