Transcript

here's how much MONEY I made from SOCIAL MEDIA IN JUNE I just want to preface by I've only been doing social media full time for five months now and no, I'm not making hundreds of thousands of dollars, but I am making the most that I've ever made from social media. Okay, now it's time to break this down. I got my iPad with my notes on it. Okay, so from shop my affiliate links, I made $469. And then from paid opportunities, I made $240. I also was gifted a $500 shopping credit, so I didn't technically make that money, but I did get $500 of free clothes. Okay, now for brand deals. I had four that actually went live in the month of June, so I'm only counting those. My deliverables ended up being about five Instagram posts and a few story posts. And from that, I made $11,150. So that's just from brand deals that I posted on my own Instagram account. And then from UGC, I did three UGC posts, so I don't have to post those on my account. And I made $4,050. And that brings our grand total for the month of June to $15,909. Also, I do have management, so they take 20% of every brand deal, every UGC video that I create. And they do the best and they do so much for me. So after they took their 20%, my grand and final total came to $12,160 for the month of June. That's absolutely wild to even say because there was a point when I was posting on social media, not making a single dollar. I honestly just wanted to share this with the hopes that people would be inspired that they can do it too. And also have a little bit of a reality check that not every creator is making hundreds of thousands of dollars every single month. I'm a firm and true believer that anyone can make money from social media if I can do it, you can do it too.
