Welcome to Nomadic Pillar: Your Creator Home Base
Part 1 of the Nomadic Pillar 101 series
If you're working with Nomadic Influence, there's one platform you'll want to get familiar with right away: Pillar. It's free, it's yours, and once it's set up, it makes everything else easier, from landing brand deals to showing off the work you've already done.
Here's what it is, why it matters, and how to get started.
What Pillar Is
Think of Pillar as your creator home base. It's the platform every Nomadic Influence creator uses as their:
- Link in bio
- Media kit
- Digital sales hub
- Campaign reporting tool
Instead of juggling a handful of tools to manage your brand-facing presence, Pillar keeps it all in one place. A properly set up account means you're ready to present yourself professionally the moment an opportunity comes your way.
The Three Things You'll Use It For
Media kit
This is usually the first impression a brand gets of you. It's where you show who you are, what you've done, and who your audience is.
Store (link in bio)
This is your space to showcase your own products, affiliate links, and anything else you want your audience to find in one click.
Reporting
Analytics that back up your results for a specific brand or campaign. This is how you prove your value with data, not just a good pitch.
Why It Matters
Before a brand or campground decides to work with you, your media kit is often the first real look they get at who you are. Inside Nomadic, Pillar is also required to apply for opportunities and pins, so having it set up isn't optional if you want to be considered.
As a bonus, a complete Pillar profile is how our team can pitch you to brands before you're even in the room.
Getting Started
- Sign up for Pillar. It's free. If you signed up recently, give it a little time. Your account needs to be placed under the Nomadic Influence umbrella before it's fully active.
- Watch for two emails. One from Pillar confirming your account, and one from us with your setup guide. Bookmark that guide. It's your cheat sheet for the rest of the process.
- Log in before doing anything else. If you haven't signed into Pillar yet, that's your first step. Everything else, media kit, store, and reporting, builds from there.
A Few Things to Keep in Mind
- If you don't see Media Kit, Store, or Brand Deals in your sidebar, click More and toggle them on. They're not missing, just tucked away.
- Your media kit is often the first thing a brand reviews, so it's worth keeping accurate and up to date.
- Set up in order: login first, then media kit, then store, then reporting. It'll save you from backtracking.
Once you're logged in and your sections are visible, you're ready to start building.
