The Truth About Making Money as a Content Creator
The truth about making money as a content creator? There are a lot of reasons why you're not making as much of it as you want.
If you haven’t wondered why you’re not making as much money as you want to be in your creator business, then you’re definitely in the minority.
Last week, I asked my broadcast channel on Instagram what’s holding them back from making more money and there was no shortage of answers — a lot of them very similar to each other.
Creators were telling me that they're trying to do too many things at once, they're scared of the potential for rejection, or simply, they don't know where to start looking for brand deals and finding methods of monetization.
The hard part about being a creator who is monetizing — it's never consistent, which leaves a lot of room for disappointment, imposter syndrome, questioning your entire business' existence, you know.. that kinda stuff.
But, there are absolutely ways you can get past these hurdles.
Today, we’re diving into why you’re not making as much money as you might hope and how you can change that. This, my Biz BFF, is Soulcial Scoop.
