Amateur Hour: how creators actually get brand deals 😅

I spent the last three years in high-ticket sales, so learning how income works through content creation has been a completely different game.

With high-ticket, I had one offer.

With content creation, there are multiple ways income can come in:

• Pitching = you reach out to the brand first
• Inbound = the brand finds you and reaches out
• Aspire = a creator marketplace where brands + creators can connect
• Paid collab = the brand pays you to create/post content
• PR / gifted = free product, but not necessarily payment
• Affiliate = you earn commission when someone buys through your link/code

And I’m still figuring out which of these actually makes the most sense for me.

No pretending I have it all figured out over here. 😂

Just learning how creators make money through content in real time and bringing you with me.

Beauty staples I keep on repeat without the high-end price tag.

Comment “shop” to give these a try and see for yourself 🤎

E.l.f. Soft Glam Satin Foundation
My everyday base. Medium, buildable coverage with a natural satin finish so your skin still looks like skin.

Catrice Under Eye Brightener
Helps cancel out blue/purple darkness under the eyes and makes you look more awake.

Milani Bronzer
Adds warmth and dimension back into the face after foundation so your base doesn’t look flat.

Soft blush 
Adds that soft, healthy flush of color without making your makeup feel heavy.

e.l.f. Monochromatic Multi-Stick
Creamy, easy-to-blend color for the cheeks. Great when you want a quick natural flush without using a bunch of products.

Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara
Defines, separates and adds volume to the lashes. Basically the step that makes your eyes look alive. 

e.l.f. Lip Liner
Defines the lips, gives them more shape and helps your lip combo look more finished.

Maybelline Lifter Gloss
Adds shine and gives the lips that juicy, fuller-looking finish without needing a complicated lip routine.

Electric Facial Hair Remover
Quickly removes peach fuzz and small facial hairs so makeup can sit smoother. by @charissamthomas

There’s three things I know for sure. 

1. Mama needs to buy a rug because trying on outfits with my shoes on in the house is slowly killing me with anxiety 😅

2. A cute pair of black sneakers wouldn’t kill me

3. The summer tan is officially GONE.

And I love y’all for it. 🤍

My inbox is full of support from people I’ve never even met.

Honestly, adjusting to this change and figuring out what the heck I’m going to do now has not been easy. When you spend 3 years building something and then walk away from it, you put yourself in this really weird space of… NOW WHAT?

Am I scared? A little.

I don’t love not knowing exactly what my future looks like or not having a clear direction yet. But I do have faith, and I know the big man above has me.

So for now, I’ll probably sit here, figure it out as I go, and let the support of strangers carry me through until I find some direction. 😂🤍

Being a little lost and still feeling this supported is a special kind of feeling.

So thank you. Seriously.

Love y’all by @charissamthomas

Happy birthday to my favorite person. 🖤

The one I get to do life with, raise our girls with, laugh with, annoy daily 😂 and come home to at the end of it all.

I’m so grateful for the husband and dad you are and for the life we’ve built together. It may not always be glamorous, but it’s ours, and I wouldn’t want to do it with anyone else.

Happy birthday, Babe. We love you more than you know. 🤍 by @charissamthomas

I’m also testing out ShopMy and I’ll report back once I’ve used it a little more.
