# MakerSignal Monetization Action Pack

## How do I negotiate brand deals - usage rights, exclusivity, payment terms?

Level: PRO

Clarify deliverables, usage duration, paid distribution, exclusivity, revisions, approval, and payment terms in writing. Obtain qualified local legal advice when contract rights or liabilities are unclear.

## How it really works
A license defines permitted use; creating content and licensing it are different parts of the deal. Broad or indefinite rights can limit future options.

## Worked example (illustrative, not a verified case)
A request to repost a video organically for thirty days differs from a request to run it in paid ads indefinitely. Ask the buyer to specify the intended use.
