I have been creating content for more than 10 years and during that time, I have made adjustments and pivots in my content, routines, strategies, and workflows. Toward the end of 2022, I finally found the brand deal workflow that not only helps me manage myself in the most efficient way possible - but also helped me over $17,000 hit my bank in January. So today, I am going to share with you the multi-step process of how I did it (so that you can do it too)!Visit my shop page here for more details on all of my templates.… and interested in the Creatorly Media services - check them out here!

For so long my growth was stagnant - I had a few early viral TikToks that had gained me around 14K followers, but I couldn’t seem to push past it. I was trying to follow trends, share videos off-the-cuff, since casual content seems to do better. But then I tried something new - and that’s what got me out of my TikTok rut and past 25,000 followers (and still growing). Today, I’m going to share my TikTok growth strategy for 2023 - and show you how it’s already working.Visit my shop page here for more details on all of my templates.… and interested in the Creatorly Media services - check them out here!

Once February hits and spring is around the corner, it’s almost like time stands still and your mental health takes a hit. You start the year with so much renewed energy and motivation and somehow a month later things start going downhill. I am all about the cozy winter vibes - hot drinks, warm blankets, and fuzzy slippers - but that can only help you so much. Staying happy and motivated through dark mornings, gloomy days, and early nights is a particular struggle for those who suffer from seasonal depression and who find the lack of sunlight disrupts their internal clock and reduces the amount of serotonin (the happiness chemical) their bodies produce. So… what can we do about it? That’s what I will be talking about in this episode, so stay tuned.Visit my shop page here for more details on all of my templates.… and interested in the Creatorly Media services - check them out here!

Confession time: I have never had a ‘real job’ - by that I mean, a full-time, post-grad, adult, work-for-someone-else job. Of course, I had many part-time jobs when I was a student from selling candles and lotions at the mall to waitressing at my hometown diner. But ever since I graduated in 2018, I dove straight into full-time freelance, and in the past nearly 5 years, I’ve grown a boutique social media marketing agency called Creatorly Media, that generates six figures in revenue. I’ll just be transparent, this was my first year passing $300,000 in sales, and while I know there are lots of gurus on social media bragging about making way more than that - I’m pretty proud of it. (Remember, that’s revenue - not take-home profit, or my salary)Sign up for my FREE email course, The Reels Compass!

A couple of weeks ago I asked my Instagram community what topics would be helpful to them for me to share on my podcast and a few of you asked about how to script a travel video. Scripting a travel video might seem complex - because how do you script something that isn’t a sit-down, educational video, filmed in the comfort of your own home? That’s what I want to walk you through today.Sign up for my FREE email course, The Reels Compass! or if you’re interested in the Travel Vlog Planner, check it out here!

When you search “starting a vlog channel” one of the first results you’ll find is a video from ThinkMedia with a title saying “vlogging is dead” - and after watching I have one thing to tell you: vlogging IS NOT dead. Look, I have nothing against the guys in the video I am referring to - and I actually agree with a lot of what they shared, however, I really do believe that you don’t need to make another boring, hyper-niche, educational channel on YouTube in order to grow - people are growing with fun, lifestyle, vlog format content. You just need to know how to do it right - which is what I’m going to talk about in this episode.Sign up for my FREE email course, The Reels Compass!

Last week I lost 400 followers within just a couple of hours and though I was confused, and a little shocked, I wasn’t scared. That is because over the years I have insulated myself from things outside of my control - like this recent hiccup we saw from Instagram last week - more on this in a bit. But today, I want to walk you through how to diversify and avoid putting all of your eggs in the Instagram basket.Join my Email Community and receive the Creator Letter here!
