What does that mean for creators? You should consider creating a strategy to connect and work with brands.
What should I do? Focus on building and growing your audience because that’s what tells brands that your content is working.
And how do I do that?
-
Have a clear brand identity - it makes it easier to seek out brands that’ll resonate with your audience
-

-
