Anchors helps you build a professional media kit, showcase your content performance, and get discovered by brands that are the right fit — all in one place.

Media Kit

A polished, shareable creator profile — built automatically from your LinkedIn data.

Content Analytics

Understand what’s working with deep post-level performance insights.

Brand Discovery

Get found by brands actively searching for creators like you.

​
Phase 1 — Sign Up & Verify Identity

Click “For Influencers” (top-right navbar) or “Join Community” (homepage center) to begin.On the login screen:
1

Click 'Continue with LinkedIn'

The red button at the top of the right panel. This opens a LinkedIn OAuth window.
2

Authorize access

Sign in with your LinkedIn credentials. You’ll be redirected back to Anchors automatically.
3

Confirm the welcome screen

You’ll see a welcome card from the Anchors founder. Click “Continue” (bottom-right) to proceed.
Why LinkedIn? Your LinkedIn data powers your entire creator profile — follower count, post analytics, engagement metrics. Connecting here means you skip manual data entry entirely and get a richer profile from day one.

​
Phase 2 — Tell Us About Yourself

Anchors asks three quick questions to personalise your experience. None of these affect your profile — they help surface the right features for you.
1

Read about Anchors

A short context screen on why the platform exists. Click “Continue” when ready.
2

How did you find us?

Pick one: LinkedIn · Community · Existing Creator · Personal Reachout · Search · OtherThis helps us understand where our best creators come from. Click “Continue”.
3

What do you want to use most?

Select any 3 that resonate:Community · Brand Collaborations · Media Kit · Free Tools · Collaborative FeedYour selections shape which features are highlighted first in your dashboard. Click “Continue”.

​
Phase 3 — Import Your Profile Data

This is the most consequential step. You’re choosing how your creator profile gets populated.

Auto-Sync

~2 minutes. Pulls your LinkedIn posts, stats, and profile automatically via a browser extension. Recommended for everyone.

Manual Upload

12–15 minutes. Upload a LinkedIn analytics CSV yourself. Use this only if you can’t install the extension.
Auto-Sync produces a significantly more complete profile. If you have any choice, use it.

​
Auto-Sync

1

Review the permission breakdown

A modal shows exactly what Anchors can and cannot access:
  • Public profile info (name, headline, photo)
  • Public posts and content
  • Follower count
  • Engagement metrics — likes, comments, impressions
Check the consent checkbox, then click “Install Extension”.
2

Install the browser extension

Follow the browser prompts. Once installed, click “Continue” in the modal.
3

Let the sync run

A progress indicator will show “Scanning your LinkedIn profile.”
Do not refresh the page or switch tabs mid-sync. This interrupts the process and you’ll need to restart.
Sync typically completes in under 60 seconds.

​
Manual Upload (CSV)

1

Export from LinkedIn

Go to your LinkedIn analytics dashboard and export your data as a .csv file.
2

Upload the file

Select and upload your CSV when prompted on the manual setup screen.
3

Wait for processing

Anchors validates and parses the file automatically. You’ll land on the same Profile Data Screen as Auto-Sync users.

​
Phase 4 — Review Data & Build Your Media Kit

​
Your Profile Data Screen

After importing, you’ll see all your synced data in one view. Key things to note: Your post performance is displayed in a table:
Something look wrong? Click “Report an Issue” (right side of the stats section) and the team will investigate.
Click “Save & View Media Kit” (top-right) when you’re ready to continue.

​
Media Kit Preview

You’re now in Media Kit Preview Mode — a live view of exactly how your profile appears to brands.

Left — Your Profile

Photo · Name · Bio · Location · Social links · “Collaborate with me” CTA

Right — Your Highlights

Follower count · Key stats · Engagement overview
Two actions live in the top-right corner:
  • Edit — update anything before going live
  • Publish (red button) — creates your public media kit link
Your kit is still visible only to you at this stage. Clicking Publish is what creates a shareable link — but you still won’t appear in brand searches until you Activate (Phase 5).

​
Publishing & Contact Details

Clicking Publish triggers a contact details modal. Brands need a way to reach you.

Email

Pre-filled from your login. Update it if needed.

Phone

Enter with your country code.
Click “Continue” (red button) to confirm. Your media kit link is now live and shareable.
Incomplete contact details will limit your discoverability. Make sure both fields are accurate before continuing.

​
Phase 5 — Go Live & Get Discovered

Publishing created your media kit — but brands still can’t find you yet. Activation is what makes you searchable.

​
Publish vs. Activate — The Difference

After publishing, look for the sticky banner at the top of your screen:
“Your profile is saved but hidden from brands…”
Click “Make Me Visible →” (right side of banner) to reach the Activation screen.

​
What Activating Unlocks

Brand Discovery

Your profile appears in brand searches. Inbound collaboration requests can start coming in.

Profile Analysis

Full access to your content performance insights and benchmarking.

Creator Community

Invite-only access to the Anchors creator community.

Collaboration Toggle

Control your availability — switch Open for Collaborations on or off at any time.
Click “Activate Profile” — the full-width red button at the bottom of the screen.

​
Phase 6 — Your Dashboard

Once activated, you’ll see a confirmation: “Your profile is active now!” ✅ Your full Anchors dashboard is now unlocked.

Copy your public link and drop it in your LinkedIn bio, email signature, or pitch decks.

FAQs

Yes. Anchors only accesses publicly available LinkedIn data. It’s never sold, shared with third parties, or used outside of powering your creator profile.
No. We have zero access to any private data — messages, contacts, or otherwise. Only your public posts and profile are used.
Publish creates a shareable media kit link — your profile exists but isn’t surfaced in brand searches. Activate makes you fully discoverable. You need to do both to start receiving inbound collaboration requests.
Yes, at any time. Click Edit from your media kit preview to update your bio, stats, or contact details. Changes apply immediately.
Yes. Toggle off “Open for Collaborations” in your profile settings whenever you need a break. You won’t appear in brand searches, but your profile link still works.
No. The Manual Setup (CSV upload) option is available if you’d prefer not to use the extension. Both paths lead to the same result.
Click “Report an Issue” on the Profile Data Screen. You can also hit “Sync Again” (top-right) to re-pull your data from LinkedIn.
