Posted once a day for 30 days — here's what happened
Follower growth was about 12% over the month which sounds good but most were ghost accounts. Engagement rate dropped because I was posting quantity over quality. Not sure I'd do it again. Anyone had a different experience with the daily posting challenge?
Brand wants approval rights over my caption — how do you handle this?
They're not asking to write the caption, just to 'review and approve' before I post. I've never agreed to this before. Feels like a creative control red flag but the deal is decent. Do you allow this?
What's your take on YouTube's ad revenue share for Shorts?
The 45% to creators vs 55% for long-form feels like they're still figuring it out. Meanwhile TikTok's creativity fund is a joke. Anyone actually building sustainable income off short-form ad revenue alone?
How do you deal with a collab that flopped?
