raise your hand if you work a full-time job WHILE ALSO being/trying to be a content creator (oof i wish i could treat you to a boba rn) but since i can't, today's episode is gonna be ALL ABOUT:

• balancing a 9-5 while being a content creator
• tips to work with brands (negotiation + GETTING PAID)
• tips to make the girlies rich in 2024 (not professional financial advice, please see a professional)

with Jenny Park (@mohaewithjennypark). Jenny started monetizing with a smaller following of 12K followers on TikTok and has now grown to over 100K followers, has a talent manager, AND working a new corporate job. during her journey, she's really focused on fine-tuning the balance between the both so content creation is something she enjoys and luvs over something she resents. this one's a gooooood one especially if you're feeling a little chaotic rn (@myself) and i have a ton more amazingggg guests coming so make sure to turn your notifications on <33

it's SUMMER TIMMMEEE aka the time of year where social media slows down, people are on vacations, reach isn't the same, engagement dips, and THIS IS NORMAL, BUT that doesn't mean there's nothing we can do about it and after working with with some super successful creators (yes imma brag about my clients hehehehe), here are the ways they just move differently that make them so successful✨

• they got out a FILM (yes even in public): they don't SIT on an idea for too long, they TAKE ACTION
• they cut the fluff (uh's, um's, ar's,) it's second nature to them cut that out
• they embrace experimentation and LEAN IN even though it can feel uncomfy/they don't know if it's gonna work BUT it also excites them to create new content
• they see socials as a PART (yes, a large part), but a PART of their brand, not their end all be all. they have goals OUTSIDE of "getting followers": collabs, starting a business, in-person events, etc.
• cringeyness = clarity: they REFINE their content without overwatering themselves down + show up with CONFIDENCE
• they're annoying (LOL okay no) but they understand the VALUE is repeating yourself in order to be memorable instead of getting trapped in shiny object syndrome
• they create content that aligns with the brands they wanna work with (EVEN IF it's not always gonna get them a ton of views). they make it EASY for brands to come on their page and say "yes she gets it, our brand fits perfectly here".
• they outsource out of service to their brand, not shame (working with me, VA's, editor's, etc.). they invest in their brand/their content/their business bc even if they CAN do it all themselves or CAN do some of those tasks, they don't NEED to, and know they will get to where they want to be smoother with support and some they trust!

let me know which one really hit home today by dm'ing me on IG/TT @inspiredmediaco <333
