In episode 639, Megan chats to Justin Moore about how to secure, price and carry out brand deals to generate consistent income using Moore's eight-step process - “the sponsorship wheel framework”. Justin Moore is a Sponsorship Coach, author, and the founder of @CreatorWizard, a school & community that teaches you how to find & negotiate your dream brand partnerships so that you stop leaving thousands on the table. His latest book, "Sponsor Magnet," offers a succinct distillation of his ideas and frameworks for securing successful brand collaborations. Along with his wife April, he has been a full-time creator since 2014 and has personally made over $5M working with brands. He also ran an influencer marketing agency for 7 years that helped other creators earn millions more. Justin brings a very unique perspective because not only has he been a creator in the trenches doing sponsorships for years but by running an agency, he has insider knowledge behind how big brands choose which influencers to partner with and why they pass on others. Justin's mission is to enable creators big and small to land 1 million paid brand partnerships by 2032.  In this episode, you'll learn how to pitch effectively and build lasting relationships with the brands you admire and why it's essential to avoid exchanging work for free products. Key points discussed include: - Proactivity is key: You need to be proactive in your approach to sponsorships, not just reactive to brand inquiries. - Relationships matter: Building strong relationships with the humans behind the brands can lead to recurring partnerships. - Knowledge is power: Researching your audience's psychographics and the brand's needs can give you a competitive edge. - Avoid the free stuff trap: Be cautious when accepting free products, as there may be hidden terms that could harm your rights. - Negotiate platform terms: Brand deal platforms can be valuable, but you should negotiate the terms to protect your interests. - Showcase your professionalism: Delivering high-quality content on time and being responsive can make you a brand's favorite to work with. - Leverage post-campaign reports: Providing detailed post-campaign reports, including testimonials, can lead to repeat collaborations. - Manage your mindset: Approach sponsorship opportunities with a mindset of learning and growth, rather than fear or resentment. - Prioritize your own advocacy: Consider managing sponsorship opportunities in-house rather than relying solely on agents or managers.

What's your million?A million anything can be impressive—or insignificant—depending on the context.A million breaths keep us alive for a little over a month.A million stars is barely a fraction of our galaxy.Elon Musk's net worth is $400 billion which is 400 thousand millions.A million can mean everything or nothing, depending on how you look at it.For me, surpassing one million downloads felt impossible—until it wasn't.In this episode, I dive into what chasing your million really means:• The parallel between success and sacrifice: are we willing to endure what it takes to achieve the big goals we dream about?• Why consistency matters more than perfection—starting and showing up creates more opportunities for success than stopping or never starting at all.• How what feels small today can snowball into something vast if you just keep going.The truth is, whatever your million represents—whether it's a business, a dream, or a vision—it's going to demand something from you. Success always runs parallel with suffering, discomfort, and hard choices. The question is: are you willing to do the work and make the sacrifices to get there?A million downloads didn't happen because I planned it perfectly—it happened because I started. I kept going. I stayed in motion.If you're chasing your own version of a million, remember this: starting matters. Staying consistent matters.
