#31 - Creator Side Hustles

In this episode of Upload. The hosts start off with an anecdote of Midgeman being recognised by someone who works with a sponsor who reached out to him. We jump from that into the Timberborn sponsor both him and Lionheart have been approached by, the conversation goes into creator agencies and which ones have been a pleasure to recently work with. Midgeman discusses Youtube's new announcements and updates regarding mobile formats and the two give tips on how the creators can capitalise on such updates. 

 

Lionheart shares his collaborative dream regarding a tee shirt campaign company start up, which has been in the early stage of development for roughly 6 years. And how a lot of merchandise websites take advantage of creators and do not give back a fair revenue for the goods they put up. Whereas Lionhearts future platform will aim at allowing creators have that business freedom and control.

 

Finally the conversation steers towards Lionheart paying for verification on Twitter and having his own personal impersonator on Discord. And how that links to staying vigilant, emphasizing the need for creators to protect their identities from scams, and to get in touch with brans/people who offer potential sponsorships to double check them.
