if you wanna become a full-time content creator, let me de-influence you a bit 01. having a niche is underrated sticking to one topic means you don't need to share about your personal life, which retains your privacy while it seems glamorous to have your audience follow you "for you" it's always going to be a trade of privacy for parasocial connection 02. Getting more views =/= making more money the strategy behind reach and the strategy behind monetization are two different things. (and, short form platform payouts tend to be low) 03. you get paid 30-90 days after you do the work forget a biweekly paycheque, it's industry standard for brand deals to payout 1 month+ after you've posted yes there is huge potential for increased earning, but you may be waiting for it to hit your account 04 brand trips are not vacations. (if you treat them like that, you probably won't get re-invited) i think about brand trips the way a destination photographer would think about a wedding. This is an event I'm here to cover. i'm making content & networking - not relaxing. 05. you will have a flop era. it's inevitable. everyone goes through seasons of growth & stagnation. you can't grow rapidly forever (and that's okay) hey! I'm Katie I talk about content creation, cameras, and share the honest behind-the-scenes of being a full-time creator. Follow along if that sounds cool to you!
