The Creative Edition Podcast

Today, we’re breaking down what it means to outsource a set of tasks or statement of work as a creator. If you’ve never heard of outsourcing before or are interested in starting to outsource tasks within your business, this episode is for you.

 Definition of outsourcing: business practice of hiring an outside person or party to perform a service or create products that were formally done within your company.

  What can you outsource as a creator or influencer?

Whether you’re a full-time creator or a part time influencer, you might consider outsourcing:

·      A manager or agency to manage brand collaborations. You can choose to pay your manager or agency 15-20% of all brand partnerships you bring in.

·      Pinterest manager: You can choose to bring a Pinterest manager on to automatically schedule your pins, create idea pins, and drive traffic to your blog or website.

·      Virtual assistant: You can choose to hire a VA to do email management, create graphics for social media, and engage on social media for you.

Tune into the episode for the rest of outsourcing tips + breakdown!

Today we're chatting through new mistakes new creators and influencers are making. We share the mistakes we've made as a creator as well as three more to be aware of (and hopefully avoid).

One mistake new creators are making are: not creating a mission statement or stating their purpose.

If you’re interested in becoming a creator OR if you’ve started posting content online and you’re ready to start taking content creation more seriously, we recommend establishing your mission statement.

When you figure out your purpose, you’ll figure out your DIRECTION. So many creators create WITHOUT purpose, and this causes confusion for both YOU and your potential audience.

 Are you heading to San Francisco for a weekend? Here are 8 best photo spots in San Francisco to see in a 2 or 3 day trip!

One of our highlights last summer was our 3 day trip to San Francisco. We had so much fun exploring the city and taking photos. There is so much to see in San Francisco, but we wanted to highlight 8 spots that you could check out in San Francisco over a weekend. 

One of our favorite spots was seeing the Golden Gate Bridge from Baker Beach

Address: Baker Beach, San Francisco CA 

 While there are many spots to see the Golden Gate Bridge around the city, one of my favorite spots to see the bridge was from Baker Beach. While there is a parking lot at this beach, it was quite full when we visited (we took a Lyft from our hotel).

Today, we’re sharing 10 spots to take photos in Seattle. If you’re planning a vacation or content trip to Seattle, this podcast episode is for you.

One of the things we want to start doing on the Content Creatives Podcast is share locations to help you create content. We’re so excited to start our home city of Seattle. And in the future, we’ll share best photo spot episodes for San Francisco, Oahu, Austin, and more.

Location 1: Pike Place Market 

Pike Place Market is practically synonymous with Seattle. It’s also one of the best photo spots in Seattle to check out. 

 There are over 500 small businesses in the 10-level market. I recommend taking your time through the levels and eating your way through the market. The iconic Gum Wall, the very first

Starbucks store, and the Fish Market are all within Pike Place.

Location 2: Space Needle

Built for the 1962 World’s Fair, the Space Needle is a defining landmark on the Seattle Skyline. It’s an iconic Seattle landmark with beautiful views of the city, Mount Rainier, and the Cascade Mountains. 

If you’re heading to Seattle for the first time, I recommend adding the Space Needle to your list. The top of the Space Needle offers incredible views of the Puget Sound.
