> For the complete documentation index, see [llms.txt](https://fohr.writedocs.io/llms.txt).

Sign up as a Fohr creator, confirm your email, and complete your onboarding details.

A Fohr account is how brands reach you with opportunities. Creating one takes 
a few minutes, from sign-up to a connected social account.

## Before you start

You'll need an email address and access to it. Signing up sends a confirmation 
link there, and the link works once.

## How to create your account

The following steps take you from sign-up to a finished account. Each screen 
leads into the next, so you can do it in one pass.

**1. Open the Welcome to Fohr page and choose Creator**

Go to the [Welcome to Fohr](https://app.fohr.co/signup/) page and select **Creator** as your account type.

**2. Sign up with your email and password**

Enter your **email address** and create a **password** to start your account. Your password needs at least 8 characters, one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, one number, and one symbol. The form checks each requirement as you type.

**3. Confirm your email**

Fohr emails you a message with the heading **Confirm Your Account**. Select **Verify My Email** to confirm your address and open onboarding. Your account isn't active until you do.

**4. Complete your personal details**

The first onboarding screen asks who you are and where you are, and takes about two minutes to complete. The following table lists every field, in the order it appears.

| Field | Description |
| --- | --- |
| **First Name** | **Required** • Visible to you & brands.<br />Your first name as it appears on your profile. |
| **Last Name** | **Required** • Visible to you & brands.<br />Your last name as it appears on your profile. |
| **Profile Image** | **Optional** • Visible to you & brands.<br />A profile photo for your account. |
| **Birthday** | **Required** • Visible to brands.<br />Confirms you meet the minimum age requirement (14+). |
| **Gender** | **Required** • Visible to brands.<br />Demographic field (you can select multiple options). |
| **Ethnicity** | **Required** • Visible to brands.<br />Demographic field (you can select multiple options). |
| **Mailing Address** | **Required** • Visible to brands.<br />Brands use it to ship products and gifts. Start typing and select a suggestion from the dropdown. Typing the full address without selecting one leaves **City**, **State / Region**, and **Country** empty, and since **Continue** needs all three, it won't work until you fix it. |
| **City** | **Required** • Visible to brands.<br />Fills from the mailing address you select. |
| **State / Region** | **Required** • Visible to brands.<br />Fills from the mailing address you select. |
| **Zip / Postal Code** | **Required** • Visible to brands.<br />The one address field the interface doesn't auto-fill. |
| **Country** | **Required** • Visible to brands.<br />Fills from the mailing address you select. |
| **I'm Open To** | **Optional** • Visible to brands.<br />Indicates preferred collaboration types: Sponsored Content, Gifting (A brand sends you free products.), UGC (User-generated content. Content made by a creator, not by the brand.), or Events. |
| **Phone Number** | **Optional** • Visible to brands.<br />Fohr uses it only for SMS (Text messages sent to your phone.) notifications about brand opportunities (Reply STOP to opt out). |

Select **Continue** to move to the next step.

**5. Connect a social account**

Link at least one platform (Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube) to share your audience metrics and appear in brand search results.

Instagram: Select **Connect** and choose **Connect via Facebook** (recommended for full profile insights) or **Connect via Instagram** (if you don't have a Facebook Page (A business or creator presence on Facebook. It is not your personal Facebook profile.)).

For other platform requirements, see [Connect your social accounts](https://fohr.writedocs.io/docs/creator/connect-accounts/).

You can select **Continue** to skip this step and link your accounts later via **Connect Accounts**. However, your profile won't be discoverable (Brands can find your profile in search.) by brands until you connect at least one account.

## Troubleshooting

The following entries answer the questions creators ask most when they sign up:

**Brands can't find your profile**

Your profile isn't discoverable (Brands can find your profile in search.) by brands until you connect at least one account. If you skipped the connect step during sign-up, select **Connect Accounts** in the left sidebar and connect Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube. [Connect your social accounts](https://fohr.writedocs.io/docs/creator/connect-accounts/) covers what each platform needs.

**The confirmation link shows an expired-link error**

The link in the **Confirm Your Account** email works once. If you've already confirmed your address, sign in to Fohr rather than opening the link again. [Reset your password](https://fohr.writedocs.io/docs/creator/reset-your-password/) covers the same error on a reset link.

**Continue shows "Mailing Address is required"**

This appears when you've typed an address without selecting a suggestion from the dropdown. **City**, **State / Region**, and **Country** all auto-fill from that selection and stay empty otherwise, and you can't edit any of the three directly. Start typing your address again in **Mailing Address** and select a suggestion from the dropdown to fill all four fields at once.
