The Whole30® Creator Hub

Add Your Unique Voice to Whole30®

The Whole30 community includes millions of people with a wide variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and lived experiences. Our community also includes many talented individuals who have created recipes, Reels, videos, and articles to support the program, adding their unique voices and storytelling and inspiring others to make positive lifestyle changes.

We value working with creators from and representing our diverse Whole30 community. We are always looking to expand our talent network, amplifying creative expertise and unique perspectives for our readers, fans, and followers. We accomplish this by establishing a transparent and equitable path for new Whole30 creators to join the community; and creating inclusive, safe spaces for our creators and community to interact.

This page is the place for you—the prospective Whole30 creator—to learn more about:

  • Our commitment to equitable and open pay practices
  • Resources to help you succeed with content creation
  • Answers to frequently asked questions
  • How to create content for and collaborate with Whole30

We look forward to hearing from you and elevating the unique point of view you will bring to our Whole30 community.

Diversity, equality, and inclusivity (DEI) values shape everything we do at Whole30. Read more from co-founder Melissa Urban about Whole30’s commitments to our creators and our DEI values.

Our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion efforts

As part of our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion efforts at Whole30, we aim to increase the diversity of our talent and develop and communicate a transparent and equitable compensation practice for our creators. As part of our ongoing commitment to building inclusive spaces for creators across all of our platforms, we have created a Content Creator Rate Sheet to serve as a guide for the minimum rates we offer for content creation. (There may be exceptions for projects outside of the typical scope.)

This Rate Sheet serves as an anchor for all Whole30 creator projects and contracts. Our hope is that the transparency and clarity here will empower both our internal team and external talent during discussions, and ensure mutually beneficial value in our storytelling.

The outlined rates are per-project and do not represent an hourly rate. In determining these per-project payouts, we reviewed published industry standards and pitches we’ve received from creatives, and solicited feedback from our current community of creators. These figures will be evaluated on an ongoing basis (via creator feedback and monitoring industry trends) and updated as needed.

In offering compensation for a project, we take a number of factors into consideration. That list includes but is not limited to:

  • Complexity of styling
  • Production value
  • Content medium
  • Scope of project
  • Requested turnaround time
  • Experience level
  • Creator’s connection to the Whole30 brand

The agreed fee outlined in the Creative Services Agreement (contract) provided will be paid to all Contractors via Bill.com within thirty (30) calendar days of deliverable approval.

Creator FAQ

No, there’s no cap on how often you can work with us. We love developing long-term relationships.
We’ve partnered with a handful of creators we’ve worked with previously to create a Creator Advisory Group to discuss fair compensation across all channels. Based on the feedback from the panel, industry research and standards, and input from past creators, alongside inter-departmental conversations, we selected minimum rates that we believe are fair. We will continue to update this to reflect changes in industry standards and from the feedback we receive as we continue our work with creators.
Since these rates are a minimum, there is an opportunity to make more. We take into account the style, difficulty of production, follower count (if the content is being posted on your feed), and turnaround time, amongst other details. Specificities of payment will be disclosed in all contracts.
No! We understand that a lot of content has nothing to do with followers or engagement rates. We do take certain metrics into account for some content types, such as posting to your personal feed for a campaign, but don’t hesitate to submit your information if you’re hoping to work with us, as many of our projects are for content that will be shared from our owned channels.
These minimum rates are for all contracts moving forward from December 1, 2022. Please know that we value everyone we have worked with in the highest regard and are hopeful that any and all conversations regarding fair & equal compensation will help us continue to grow and make the industry better for all creators.
We keep all submissions on hand for our headquarters team to review, so you will only need to resubmit if you have new information to add or changes to make to your initial submission.
