Hey everyone! 🖤 Yesterday I DMed 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐞 of you personally with one question: 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐜𝐤 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐧𝐨𝐰? A third of you answered, and the answers overlapped a lot. Here are the top 3 issues you agreed on: 🔥 #1: Time / consistency: Life is busy, and it's hard to keep going week after week. 🔥 #2: Pitching: Not knowing what to say to brands, or whether to hit send. 🔥 #3: Finding clients / retainers: Not knowing where the paying clients are, or how to turn one deal into monthly income. (Confidence, content, and pricing came up too.) Here's what surprised me: 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬𝐧,𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦. You can make the content. What's in the way is finding the time, getting in front of brands, and turning that into paying clients. One more thing stood out: 𝟗𝟓.𝟓% 𝐨𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐧,𝐭 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐟 𝐭𝐨 𝐏𝐚𝐢𝐝 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐩 𝐲𝐞𝐭. That's not a callout. It's good news, because Day 3 is all about pitching the brand, which is one of your top blocks. 𝐒𝐨 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞,𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐎𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟏: 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐟 𝐭𝐨 𝐏𝐚𝐢𝐝. 📚 It's 3 days, and there are 5 days until October. One day at a time, you'll have time to spare. These issues are fixable, but more information won't fix them. Small actions, done consistently, with people cheering you on will. So that's what October is for. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐎𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐫 $𝟓𝐊 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞 is built around exactly what you told me: ✅ Short weekly actions that fit a busy schedule ✅ Real pitching practice, so hitting send gets easier every week ✅ A focus on finding paying clients, not just making content ✅ Accountability here in the group, so you're not doing it alone 𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐏𝐒 & 𝐀𝐂𝐗𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐓𝐀𝐁𝐈𝐋𝐎𝐓𝐓 𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐒 𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐋 𝐁𝐄 𝐏𝐎𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐃 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐀𝐑 𝐁𝐄𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐄 𝐎𝐂𝐓𝐎𝐁𝐄𝐑 𝐇𝐈𝐓𝐒. Lock in for October (takes 2 minutes): 🔒 Comment below with: 1️⃣ The day you'll finish Brief to Paid. Pick a date before October 1. Saying it out loud makes it real. 2️⃣ Come back and reply "Done ✅" to your own comment when you finish, so we can all celebrate you. 🎉 A win is a win! 3️⃣ Tag one member to finish with you.

HOKA is looking for someone to shape their social storytelling and own the brand voice across every platform… They’re looking for someone to build the narratives, not just the content. Developing short-form video, carousels, statics, and captions. Shaping tone of voice. Going on set with directors and photographers. Staying ahead of culture and trends before they hit. This is a creative leading a brand’s whole social presence, not just filling a content calendar. This one’s a step up, and that’s worth naming. It asks for 5+ years and a real track record turning ideas into culturally relevant content. If that’s not you yet, let it be the target you’re building toward instead of the ceiling you stop at. Apply IF you’ve got the experience behind you, you know how to turn a brand campaign into a platform-native story, and you’re ready to own a voice instead of just executing someone else’s brief. This is what it looks like when your skills become a career, not just a gig. Dropping the apply link in comments 👇

I re did my video with a different hook and did this one for the brand of treats I had on hand. Looking for feedback!

I feel like in just the short time I’ve been here my prospective and understanding of content has evolved so much. I’m focusing now on books and CTAs that align with goals and viewing my content creation from a new lens. I’ve also realized I start a lot of my videos as talking head videos. It started as comfort and even more than that, not knowing better but I’m learning 😂 Below is a video I just finished for a skincare brand. Ironically they were my first (and only at this time paid UGC video) which i got as an inbound when I posted my portfolio video and tagged them on IG. They wanted a free collab but I was able to negotiate payment. I wanted to create a different feel for this video and more of curiosity with my hook and a product purchase CTA. The video below is the newest video I finished today, id love feedback. I also attached my first video with this brand in the comments in case anyone is interested too. Thanks!

There’s too much LEARNING happening in here and not enough ACTION. 👀 And I’m changing that starting October 1st. You do not need another app. You do not need a complicated system. You do not need to film 847 videos and pray one turns into a paycheck. The goal: land your first $5,000 month using the skills you already have without relying on creator apps, complicated systems, or a filming nightmare. But this only works if you actually participate. So before October starts, I want you to do 3 things: 1️⃣ Comment “I’M IN” + your October income goal below. Even if it’s $100, $1000, $10000 I don’t care. All goals are important! 2️⃣ Complete the 3-Day Workshop replays and action steps so you’re coming into the challenge already a step ahead. 3️⃣ BONUS: Bring one creator with you & I’ll send you 15 holiday campaigns that are currently running before anybody else sees them. 🤏🏼🔥 Grab your Creator Advantage affiliate link, send it to ONE creator you know is tired of spinning their wheels, and invite them to do the challenge alongside you. So grab your affiliate link ( that 50% commission) and start helping others earn too! Consider that your first income-producing action of the challenge. October is not about consuming more information. It’s about pitching. Following up. Making offers. Getting paid. 👇🏼 Comment “I’M IN” + your October goal. Then go complete your next 2 tasks. No lurking in October. We’re moving. 🔥
