Their other posts in the index, biggest breakout first.
So I remember when I worked in anthropology and I found out that someone in my exact role who started a year after me was making three more dollars an hour than I was, which is a few thousand dollars in the space that I was in. And I just thought to myself, I can leverage this information now in my next touch base and say, what gives? Why? Why is she getting that upper hand? And it's because she was honest with me and told me, I didn't have to mention her name. There's a million people who work at that company. but it gave me information. And I started to just see in the creator space, the number one question I was getting asked and that I was asking when I start off is, what do you charge for a Tik Tok? What do you charge for an Instagram? What are your rates? And I didn't go to school for this kind of stuff. I don't I and this digital world is so new. We didn't even have Tik Tok 10 years ago. So what do you charge? You know? And we needed to filter in more transparency so that creators that are doing this and trying to make a living off of this aren't being taking advantage by these brands that have a ton of budget, but when the creator says, oh, I'm good with just $1,000, they're giving them $1,000 when they might have 10,000, you know? So it was really important for me to kind of open up about that and not just in the creator space, but in the space in general and every working industry and capitalism. We don't talk about salary because we think it's none of anyone's business and that's fair, but why was that institution put in place to help the big man at the top, stay rich and help the people who are doing a lot of the crunch work at the bottom, hustling for more and more because they have an incentive to make more money, but they don't even know how much they could be making or how much their peers are making. So it's really important.
