Collaffy vs DMs
DMs are the default. They are also where most creators lose money — to scams, to noise, to lost threads, and to negotiating without the right info.
Most brand outreach to creators still happens in Instagram DMs, TikTok DMs, X DMs, and email. That's the path of least resistance for brands — they're already there, the creator is already there, nothing has to be set up. The trouble is that DMs were designed for conversations between friends, not for the kind of structured, multi-party negotiations that brand partnerships actually are.
Collaffy replaces the DM channel for collab use specifically. Your Collaffy link goes in your bio with a note like 'For any collabs — Use Collaffy.' Real offers move from a DM thread into a structured inbox with a real brief, a real budget, real deliverables, and a real pipeline. The DMs themselves stay open for the things they're actually good at — talking to your audience.
