Ready to stop chasing brand deals and start building a travel creator business that actually supports your life? Join The Travel Creator Business Plan todayAre you building a travel creator business… or just creating content and hoping the next brand deal lands in your inbox?In this episode, I'm breaking down the biggest mindset shift travel creators need to make if they want more freedom, stability, and income that doesn't rely on the algorithm. Because there's a huge difference between being a creator and becoming a founder — and most people never talk about it.If you've been stuck in the cycle of chasing engagement, waiting on paid campaigns, or feeling like you're starting from zero every single month, this episode is going to hit home.I'm sharing:The difference between rented income vs owned incomeWhy a following alone is not a businessThe shift from creator thinking to founder thinkingThe “boring” backend work that actually creates freedomWhy email lists, digital products, and recurring revenue matter so muchHow to start building a travel creator business that works even when you're offlineThis episode is your reminder that you became a travel creator to travel — not to spend 12 hours hunched over your laptop refreshing analytics and hoping a post performs.In This Episode:Why content creators burn out without business systemsHow to stop relying entirely on brand deals and UGC incomeThe importance of building owned revenue streamsWhat travel creators should focus on instead of just posting moreHow founder decisions differ from creator decisionsSimple ways to start building a sustainable online businessKey Takeaways:✨ A following is an audience. A business is a system.✨ Brand deals are great — but they shouldn't be your only income source.✨ Email lists, memberships, affiliate income, and digital products create long-term stability.✨ “Boring” backend business work is what actually creates freedom.✨ You don't need more followers — you need better systems.travel creator business, creator economy, digital nomad business, content creator business, travel content creator, creator burnout, passive income for creators, creator business strategy, UGC creator tips, travel creator podcast, email marketing for creators, digital products for creators, creator entrepreneur, online business for travel creators, recurring revenue for creatorsIf this episode helped you, make sure to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with another creator who's ready to step into founder mode.Sign up for my newsletter, the Content Compass, the weekly newsletter for travel creators who are already landing brand deals and are ready to build the business behind their content.Get five shifts that will take you from travel creator to business owner with actionable next steps included.

Drop us a message!Brand partnerships in the creator economy aren't just about follower counts, they're about fit, trust, and long-term credibility. Get it wrong, and you risk the one thing that makes a creator valuable in the first place: their audience's trust.In this episode of Social In 10, we sit down with Sammy Parker, Brand Partnerships Lead at Calfreezy - one of the UK's largest YouTubers - to pull back the curtain on how brand deals really work at scale.Sammy shares how social media now plays a central role in securing commercially meaningful partnerships, how he evaluates whether a brand is genuinely the right fit rather than just financially attractive, and how he navigates the challenge of balancing brand objectives with audience trust across content that spans food, sport, and travel.Plus, Paid Media Manager Ben Gould from the Giraffe Social team joins us to discuss how he tackles a challenge every performance marketer faces: how to approach creative testing for paid ads to improve performance over time. Because in paid social, it's increasingly creative variation that separates campaigns that scale from those that stall.Want to be featured on the pod?

Escape to Elevate retreat in Italy October 2026 www.escapetoelevate.com Jamie's Instagram program: risesocialacademy.com Jamie's monthly Instagram content membership for hairstylists: thesocialsuite.com Connect with Jodie on Instagram: @itsjodiebrownThis week on Hairstylist Rising, I'm re-sharing one of the most loved episodes of the show with the incredible Jamie Dana. Jamie has been in the beauty industry for 13 years and has done almost every role you can imagine, from receptionist and assistant to commission stylist, suite owner, salon owner, independent educator, and brand collaborator. She is also one of the original online educators in the hair industry and the woman behind the Framar Jamie Dana collection, which became the biggest single day of sales in Framar's history.In this conversation, Jamie shares the early years that shaped how she built her business. She talks about being homeschooled, getting bullied in beauty school, working under the table at her first salon, and trying to build a clientele with Groupons before Instagram existed. She shares the exact moment Instagram changed everything for her, going from barely booked to fully booked three months in advance and raising her prices, all within six months.We get into what it actually looks like to step into online education for hairstylists. Jamie talks about launching her first online course, originally called O'HotGraham, which she had to rename to Rise Social Academy after a legal threat from Instagram, and how she eventually walked away from a six figure clientele to go all in on teaching. She also breaks down how she grew her YouTube channel by studying the algorithm for six months before posting a single video, and why the long form video space in the hair industry is still wide open today.Then we go behind the scenes of the Framar collaboration. Jamie pitched the entire collection herself, including the documentary series that brought stylists along for the ride. She shares what really happened during that year and a half process, the tears, the moments off camera, and the launch strategy that turned it into the biggest sales day in the brand's history.We also dig into something every creative needs to hear. How do you know which ideas to pursue and which to put on the back burner? Jamie shares her three year rule for evaluating projects, why the takeoff phase of any new venture takes more energy than you expect, and how to keep moving forward through imposter syndrome at every level of your career.Whether you are a new stylist building your clientele, a seasoned pro thinking about education, or a creative weighing up your next big move, this episode is a real look at what is possible in the beauty industry today.Jamie will be joining us as a guest educator at Escape to Elevate, our branding, marketing, and content creation retreat in the Italian countryside this October 2026. If you want to be in the room with her and a community of beauty industry leaders, authors, educators, and creators, you can find all the details at escapetoelevate.com.Come say hi on Instagram @itsjodiebrown and let me know your biggest takeaway from this episode.

In the dotcom era, communication professor Angèle Christin embedded herself in newsrooms, where she witnessed how audience metrics tilted journalism toward viral content over in-depth reporting. Christin now researches the influencer economy and how content creators monetize their production by any of three means – brand sponsorships, engagement-based payments from social media platforms, and direct-to-audience subscriptions, donations, or sales. She says this engagement-based ecosystem steers communication toward what captures attention, not always what best informs. To improve our reeling national dialogue, we must first change the financial model of social media content, Christin tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.

You got the inquiry. Now what? Whether it lands in your inbox from a bride-to-be, a corporate event planner, or a brand partnership manager, how you respond to that very first message can make or break the sale. In this quick but packed episode, Quynh, Jessie, and Sara break down their real-world strategies for handling three types of client inquiries: bridal, corporate, and brand collaborations. “I try to be as upfront as possible so there are no surprises on both ends. I do not want to be emailing back and forth until I realize I am completely out of their budget.” — Sara From what to include on your inquiry form and when to talk about pricing, to why you should never make free samples and how to present a media kit that lands the deal, the hosts share the frameworks they have built through years of running their own paper flower businesses. “If you cannot do the job, have a list of your maker friends that can. If you refer someone, they can refer you back. It is a two-way street.”- Quynh If you have ever felt nervous about quoting your prices or unsure how to follow up with a potential client, this episode will give you the confidence and the structure to respond like a pro. What You'll Hear in this Episode: What to include on your website inquiry form to filter serious clients Why response time matters and how it builds trust before the first project even starts When to bring up pricing and the reason for being upfront from the very first email How to use a price sheet to set expectations and protect your time Why you should never create free samples and how to handle sample requests The importance of contracts: deposits, delivery details, and final payment timelines How corporate inquiries differ from bridal work and why turnaround time changes everything Building a referral network and what to do when you cannot take the job How to create and use a media kit for brand collaborations Knowing your numbers and staying confident during negotiations Being flexible with packages without undervaluing your work Unique brand collaboration opportunities beyond physical flower commissions The Best Thing We Bought that Bring Us Joy Quynh: Antique flower frogs Jessie: Floral Genius Hairpin Frogs Sara: Flower frog using air dry clay Paper Talk is supported by our community of readers and listeners.

My personal brand has been making money for me for YEARS. This wasn't an accident; this was completely by design. Ok, maybe a little bit of it was accidental, but we learn, grow, and study what works so that we can replicate it. And a little help from a coach or a mentor never hurts.    I had no idea how much money I could make from brand deals and paid collaborations. I thought, like everyone else at the time, that you had to have millions of dollars to ever see a brand deal contract. But that couldn't be farther from the truth.    You don't need a million followers to get brand deals. You don't even need 100k followers to get brand deals. What you need is trust, and if you can build that trust with your followers, you can make a lot of money.    In this week's episode, we're going behind the scenes of how I landed brand deals and paid collaborations. Before I was an influencer, I was just sharing what I thought was valuable life advice to my audience. Now I know that I was a micro influencer in the making with a ton of opportunities coming my way. And now that I've figured out what works and what doesn't, I'm going to share how you can land those same brand deals with under 2k followers as a micro influencer.  How to work with Erika: Attract 7+ Paid Opportunities Through Your Personal Brand — Without Being Salesy with the free Magnetic CEO Method | Monday, May 4th, 5:00 PM - 6:30 PM PT Claim your limited-time-only spot in Erika's 90-Min one-on-one Personal Branding Intensive  Join the waitlist for the Courage Driven Latina program here!

This week, Jason is joined by Jon Bouffard — creator, entrepreneur, and one half of one of the most recognizable couples brands on the internet — for a conversation on what it really takes to build a business from nothing and scale it into a multi-six-figure operation.Jon shares the unconventional path that led him here — from making $15/hour across a series of jobs, including teaching, working at Wells Fargo under a fake name, and serving as a vocational counselor, to eventually pivoting into occupational therapy where he capped out financially and began searching for something more.Everything changed when he partnered with his now wife, Alex, stepping into the world of wedding videography. What started as a creative side hustle quickly grew into a full-time business, scaling from $3K to $10K per wedding — but also came with burnout, long hours, and limited upside.Jon breaks down the turning point — when brand deals began replacing wedding income, allowing them to shift fully into content creation. He explains how their business evolved into a six-figure-per-deal model, what brands are really paying for, and why consistency and relatability have been the foundation of their success.He also opens up about the realities behind the scenes — the pressure to constantly create, the mental toll of staying relevant, and the discipline required to keep showing up even when you don't feel like it.Beyond the business, Jon shares insight into how he and Alex divide responsibilities, manage finances, and maintain a strong partnership while building together — including why they prioritize simplicity, avoid unnecessary spending, and focus on long-term stability over short-term flash.The conversation also dives into bigger-picture topics — from the future of the creator economy to the challenges of transitioning into traditional media, and the importance of protecting your personal life in an increasingly public world.From $15/hour jobs to building a scalable digital business, Jon gives a raw and honest look at what it takes to bet on yourself, stay consistent, and turn creativity into a career.Jon reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can't afford to miss!Subscribe to the Trading Secrets podcast!Host: Jason Tartick

In this episode, I talk with Justin Moore, the author of Sponsor Magnet, about how creators can successfully land and manage brand sponsorships. Justin shares insights from his experience running sponsorship challenges and coaching creators, emphasizing that mindset, particularly overcoming money-related fears and childhood financial baggage, is often a bigger barrier than the tactical side of pitching. You will also learn about Justin's "ARC" framework for structuring sponsorship packages, the value of multi-format content strategies, and how to position yourself as a consultant-like partner to brands rather than just a vendor. We also discuss Justin's upcoming "anti-conference" called Sponsor Games, designed to make creator education more hands-on and community-driven.

Hootsuite's partnership with ICE sparked controversy earlier this year, leading creators to take a closer look at the companies they work with. On this episode of the Digiday Podcast, Tameka Bazile shares why she ended her deal with Hootsuite, how it prompted her to audit other brand partnerships, and what creators can learn about balancing ethics, audience expectations, and income.

After years on the brand side managing influencer budgets (and plenty of honest conversations with friends who still run campaigns today), I'm sharing five things creators do that quietly destroy their chances of getting a paid partnership - often without even realizing it.We're talking about the small habits, wording, and positioning choices that can either build trust with brands… or quietly hurt your credibility.If you're trying to land more paid opportunities this year, this episode is a helpful reset and a reminder that a few small tweaks can completely change how you're perceived (and paid).

Katie Fortunato is the co-founder and EVP of Platform Innovation and Strategy at Hire Innovations, where she's fixing a broken talent acquisition system with a human-centric AI platform that cuts through bots, ghosting, and phantom job posts. With a background leading brand experiences and business development at MTV, AOL, and The Wall Street Journal, she's spent years at the intersection of traditional media and the creator economy. Now she's helping entrepreneurs, brands, and creators turn job seekers and “work content” into real revenue while connecting Gen Z and millennial talent with AI-resistant, high-value roles. On this episode we talk about: How creators can monetize job-related content for the first time What “the ShopMy of job content” is and how it works Why most great jobs never hit LinkedIn or Indeed How brands can turn employees into a powerful referral and creator network What today's talent really wants: culture, fair pay, impact, and values alignment Top 3 Takeaways Job content is an untapped revenue stream for creators, newsletters, and communities whose audiences are anxious about layoffs, AI, and career uncertainty. Referral-style hiring is still king—turning your employees and creator partners into a scaled referral network beats sifting through hundreds of unqualified applicants. The strongest employer brands lead with culture, fair compensation, training, and real social impact, then back it up with values they actually live, not just words on a wall. Notable Quotes “We're basically democratizing access to referrals—anyone can refer anyone to a job.” “You can't outsource culture. It has to start at the top and be lived every day.” “People want to feel part of something bigger—what role is your company actually playing in society?” Connect with Katie Fortunato: Website / Platform: https://getjobstream.com/ Company: https://hireinnovations.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/katieclarkfortunato/ Learn more about your ad choices.

A lot of content creators talk about monetization, but very few explain what it actually looks like. In this episode, we chat with Billy Thorpe, who's built a real business around brand deals, shoppable videos, and live selling without relying on a massive audience or viral hits.Billy breaks down why most creators misunderstand brand deals, especially the idea that you need big follower counts to get paid. We dig into what brands really care about: usable content, clear demos, reliability, and why systems matter more than motivation. He also shares how volume, when done with repeatable formats and smart workflows, leads to income that compounds instead of burning you out.We also get into live selling, AI, platform risk, and why “maybe money” from algorithms should never be your only plan. This conversation is a reality check for creators who want to stop guessing and start building something boring, stable, and sustainable… on their own terms.Key TakeawaysBrand deals don't require big audiences: Brands pay for clear demos, reliable delivery, and usable content, not follower counts.Volume works when systems exist: Burnout comes from chaos, not from publishing more content.Batching removes decision fatigue: Pre-deciding formats and workflows makes consistency easier.Assets matter more than analytics: A portfolio of finished content closes deals faster than pitch decks or dashboards.Live selling scales trust: One-to-many selling builds confidence faster than one-to-one sales.Don't build on one platform: Algorithms, payouts, and rules change without warning. Diversification protects you.AI should support, not replace you: Use it for structure and clarity, not fake opinions or avatars.ResourcesBilly Thorpe: https://billythorpe.liveBilly's Dealmakers Community is FREE to join right now!

Whether you love AI or hate it, one thing is clear: IT'S HERE TO STAY. We've all seen the AI and deepfake videos floating around the internet lately and they're equal parts fascinating and terrifying! And no, the creator industry is not exempt from this shift. In fact… it's already showing up inside brand deal contracts! In this episode, I'm walking you through what I'm actually seeing right now when it comes to AI and brand partnerships from both the brand side and the creator side so you can think bigger about how you negotiate, protect yourself, and future-proof your business. Because here's the part most creators don't realize yet: If it's not in the contract, it can arguably be allowed.

Whitney insists she was just being kind and trying to mend fences, not retracting anything she's said. Meredith fires back, claiming Whitney was “fall-down drunk” and wanted to keep peace off-camera while filming continued. The argument escalates fast—Lisa jumps in, Whitney tells her to shut up, and Mary calmly reminds Whitney she has the floor. Spoiler: no apology, no resolution, just tension.

In this episode of the Capital Raiser Show, Richard C. Wilson interviews Kevin Harrington—original Shark from Shark Tank, creator of the modern "As Seen On TV" model, and early investor in Celsius. Kevin walks through how he turned unused cable downtime in the 1980s into a billion-dollar infomercial engine, took his company public, and then scaled a global distribution business by syndicating only the proven winners worldwide. He explains why he exited TV at the right time, how he spotted Celsius at $0.10 per share before it became a $20B brand, and why influencer and digital marketing now beat traditional media for consumer products. Kevin also breaks down his philosophy of becoming a Key Person of Influence (KPI)—building your personal brand, writing books, doing 100+ podcasts, and assembling a "dream team" so the best deals and JV opportunities come to you first. He shares lessons from mentoring with Richard Branson, running high-discipline studios, reviewing 1,000+ pitches, and what he looks for in early-stage consumer deals personally and through Cypress Ascendant.

#890 Sponsorships and brand deals can change the game for you as a creator. Here's the key, though. You have to know your worth. If, like many, you say yes to bad offers, it can cost you big time! In this episode, I break down what's actually working in sponsorships right now. From determining what you should charge and spotting red flags to landing deals with companies you respect, this session is a sponsorship blueprint for 2025! You'll learn why beginner creators get taken advantage of, how to find the right companies to work with, the requirements you might have to meet, and the campaign types that are the most lucrative. It's also important to remember your responsibility to your audience. So, finding and fostering long-term partnerships that enhance the experience you offer is ideal. Listen in today to find out how close relationships and storytelling play into an effective brand deal strategy. Enjoy!
