Wanting to get paid for your creative skills is not greed or taboo. It's how you build a sustainable career in the creative space.
We explored this idea at a recent creative class organized by
@btg.africa at
@alx_rwanda Hub in Kigali. Honored to be invited by
@feelgoodkru and
@daniel.oo_ to facilitate the session.
It was refreshing and hands-on—participants developed their own personal monetization strategies for their skills.
It was eye-opening to hear the unique experiences creatives shared as they navigated getting paid for their work.
Experience has taught me that the key to getting paid as a creative is learning to channel your skills toward solving business problems. That way, a business can justify the spend.
Looking forward to hosting more of these sessions with our partners through
