Calling All DFW Creators: Join Scrollworks and Get Paid

Let me be direct with you: Scrollworks needs creators. You are the lifeblood of what we're building. Without talented DFW creators in our network, we have nothing to offer brands. It's that simple.

So this is our call. If you're a content creator in Dallas-Fort Worth and you're serious about getting paid for your work, we want you in our network.

But before you roll your eyes at another "creator opportunity," let me explain why this one is different—and why the odds are actually in your favor if you're good at what you do.

Here's something most creator platforms won't tell you: the vast majority of creators don't make real money. The stats are brutal. According to recent industry data, only 9% of independent creators earn over $100,000 per year. Another 34% make less than $5,000 annually. When you add it all up, 71% of creators earn less than $30,000 from their content work.

It gets worse. Research from Goldman Sachs shows only about 4% of creators make over $100,000 annually. A Linktree study found that 59% of beginner creators haven't even made $100 in an entire year. And here's the gut punch: 97.5% of YouTubers don't earn enough to reach the U.S. poverty line.

No wonder 68% of creators say they're not satisfied with how much money they make. The dream of making a living as a creator is real for some people—but for most, it stays a dream.

The problem isn't talent. There are incredibly skilled creators out there making almost nothing. The problem is access—specifically, access to brands willing to pay for content.

Most creators spend their time chasing followers, hoping the algorithm blesses them, and sending cold pitches that go nowhere. They're stuck in a cycle: create content, hope for views, maybe get a brand deal someday. Meanwhile, 69% of creators who actually make good money say brand deals are their primary income source. Not ad revenue. Not tips. Brand deals.

So if brand partnerships are where the money is, why aren't more creators getting them? Because brands don't know how to find you. They don't have time to scroll through thousands of profiles trying to figure out who's reliable, who can deliver quality work, and who's actually local to their market. The connection point is broken.

That's the gap Scrollworks fills.

We're not a platform where you post content and hope someone notices. We're not selling you courses on "how to grow your following." We're a direct pipeline between DFW creators and DFW brands who have budgets and need content.

Here's how it works: brands come to us with content needs—UGC for ads, influencer partnerships, product videos, whatever they're looking for. We match them with creators from our network who fit the brief. You get connected to paying work. The brand gets vetted local talent. We handle the coordination.

This flips the script on the typical creator grind. Instead of you pitching brands and getting ignored, brands are coming to us looking for creators like you. Dallas-Fort Worth businesses are literally paying us to find local talent. If you're in our network and you're good, you're in front of opportunities you'd never find on your own.

I'm not going to pretend everyone who joins Scrollworks will get rich. That's not how this works. But here's what I will say: if you can deliver quality content on deadline, communicate professionally, and bring something distinctive to your work, you can make real money through brand partnerships.

The creators who struggle aren't struggling because there's no money in content creation. They're struggling because they can't get in front of the brands that pay. Scrollworks solves that problem. We put you directly in front of local brands with real budgets who need what you create.

This isn't about follower counts. We don't care if you have 500 followers or 50,000. What matters is whether you can create content that performs and whether you're reliable enough to work with. Brands care about results. If you can deliver results, you can get paid.

Here's something else we're committed to: helping creators improve. We're developing resources and tools specifically designed to help our network creators level up their skills, understand what brands are looking for, and position themselves for better opportunities.

This isn't about gatekeeping knowledge or charging you for "secrets." It's about giving you practical tools that actually help—things like understanding how to price your work, what makes a brand brief successful, how to create content that converts, and how to build a portfolio that gets you hired.

We want every creator in our network to get better over time. When you succeed, we succeed. It's that straightforward.

Let me make this crystal clear: Scrollworks is free for creators to join. No membership fees. No "premium tiers." No hidden costs. It will always be this way.

We make money when brands pay us to find creators. That's our business model. We have zero interest in charging creators to be part of the network. You're not the product—you're the talent we need to deliver for our clients.

If you're a DFW creator and you want access to local brand opportunities without paying for it, this is your shot.

We want creators who are based in Dallas-Fort Worth. Local matters here—brands want creators who understand the market and can show up for shoots when needed.

We want creators who can deliver. That means hitting deadlines, following briefs, communicating professionally, and producing quality work consistently. If you're flaky or hard to work with, this isn't for you.

We want creators with a point of view. Maybe you're great at food content, or lifestyle, or fitness, or B2B explainers. Whatever your specialty, own it. Brands are looking for creators who bring something specific to the table.

If that sounds like you, we want to hear from you.

The creator economy is tough. Most people don't make money. But the ones who do have figured out that brand partnerships are where the real income comes from—and getting those partnerships requires connections most creators don't have.

Scrollworks exists to be that connection for DFW creators. We're building a network of local talent that we can match with local brands who have budgets and need content. If you're good enough to deliver, you can make money doing this.

Join for free. Get in front of brands you'd never reach on your own. Let us help you turn your content skills into actual income.

This is what we do. Let's make it work for you.
