Creator Wizard - 🧙‍♂️ Fatal Brand Deal Errors to Avoid

Hey there,

Yesterday, I got back from a weekend getaway in Napa Valley with my wife where we celebrated our 12-year wedding anniversary.

I was lying in our bed and April said, "Look! There's a raccoon climbing up the tree outside our room!"

Sure, enough...he lazily plopped himself down and proceeded to sleep for ~30 minutes on a long branch in the shade.

​

Since we're dorks, we then Googled "what does it mean when you see a raccoon" to see the spiritual meaning 🤣

Apparently...

​

This felt pretty appropriate.

April and I have been forced to adapt to massive swings in our income sources over the last 10 years as full-time creators but it's made us extremely resilient.

At the height of our YouTube popularity around 2015, we were making $25K per month just on AdSense.

But I was convinced that we needed to diversify in case those check sizes ever went down (spoiler: they did lol).

Which is why around that time, we started taking sponsorships a lot more seriously.

And if there's one thing I've learned over the last decade...

Consistent, well-paying sponsorships don’t happen by accident.

You might get a few exciting emails once and a while…

But turning these into a predictable and lucrative stream of income requires a different approach.
