🧙‍♂️ Paid Sponsorships with Cocomelon, PocketFM, Ergobaby, Evercare, CottonWorks, KeVita, and many more [August 25]

Hey there,

TL;DR I'm increasing the investment to $3K for the next cohort of Brand Deal Wizard. Here's why 👇

When I started educating creators about two years ago, I pictured my "ideal" audience would be social media influencers on Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok with < 150K followers.

My logic was that there were a ton of creators out there who weren't quite "big" enough yet to have a manager...but were making money!

I thought: "I could be the person to guide them to the next level!"

And fast forward to today...that "hypothesis" has proven true for the most part.

However, something really surprising has also happened.

Creators who have built their businesses on *owned* platforms (podcasters, community managers, newsletter authors, bloggers, etc.) have also gravitated to me!

I've done tons of 1-1 coaching sessions where I've helped all different types of creators with their sponsorship strategy, and eventually realized that what I am teaching is universal, regardless of the "land" (social or owned) folks are building on.

What this means for Creator Wizard

• My sponsorship content is about to get WAY more inclusive for "owned" platform creators
• My courses are gonna change quite a bit structurally (more sessions, guest speakers, complex community infrastructure, etc.)
• The investment for Brand Deal Wizard will be increasing to $3K (starting with Cohort #7 in October)
• Enrollment to BDW will be capped at 50 to ensure an intimate experience and downright ridiculous results for every single creator that participates
• The # of referrals to get free access to BDW will be increasing from 50 to 100 creators for Cohort #8.

I'd be lying if I didn't say I'm nervous AF about making such a significant change to my business (especially since it seems like everything is going so well right now)...

But the more I thought about how I can best serve you, I feel massively "pulled" in this direction.
