I wasn’t able to do collabs until I left my job (and by that point I was already over 100k) but I think you can start reaching out at 5k!

Thanks so much for reading and taking the time to post more questions! The series has 7 parts so I’ll actually be addressing ALL of these things in my upcoming posts 🙂 Stay tuned!

1) Do you typically approach brands for partnerships or do they approach you?

2) I see you have 150k Insta followers, a blog, probably a YT/Twitter…do you employ any assistants/freelance help at this scale, or is it possible to manage by yourself? If you have help, at what # followers approx. did you need to hire?

3) You said you’re earning more in Q1’19 than Q1’18bin your corp job, is this after whatever it costs you to produce each post etc.? Or not taking that into account?

4) Would you say you work more hours as a full time influencer than a typical corp worker in NYC (9-7, 5 days a week)?

5) How do you pitch/differentiate yourself from all the other influencers? And is it a lonely place, at times, because of all the competition?

6) I get you don’t want to divulge cost/post, but maybe you could speak to 5 friends in the space who all have around 150k followers too, and have them give you pricing anonymously and you give a range to us or avg. It could help YOU guys to expose payment inequality within your peer group and know which brands are underpaying you!

Thanks so much!

love a social media hiatus. I think i need one soon!
