@alex.petrakieva: Day 4/30: oversharing, one take at a time 🎬 I love a good brand deal, but posting the video? That’s its own emotional rollercoaster. No matter how many brand deals I do, I go through the exact same thing every time, so I’m not convinced it ever really goes away. I think it’s because there’s this internal pressure for the video to perform well, while also knowing a lot of people will scroll the second they see the paid label. I do my best to make them entertaining, useful, or genuinely interesting, but sometimes that’s still not enough. Anyway, I’m curious how other creators feel about it. And if you’re not a creator, what do you do when the post comes up in your feed? Do you automatically scroll, or does it depend on the content? P.S. If you decide to show up as yourself TODAY and post a video, tag me or add #onetakechallenge so I can see it!!! And come back tomorrow because I’m going to show you how you to get out of your head and start creating content!

You ALWAYS make your ads so relatable and they do not “feel” like an ad EVER..

brands making us say 113422 things rather than just allowing us to make the content we know will do the best with our audience 🙄

If I see an ad from a creator who I like their other content, I always like their ad because I know it’s how they get paid! And, tbh, I think it’s funny when ad content leans into the awkwardness of it. Or acknowledges it like how on YouTube videos they just come out and say “this video is sponsored by so-and-so and that is how we get paid”. Like, just remind us that watching and liking the video is how we support you, maybe in a way that makes us giggle or relate or something.

I want to get to a point where I can tell the brand, I’ll promote the product (as long as I love it) in alignment with my natural content, it comes across more natural and more sellable. Briefs are cringy I really don’t get why brands push them, nothing sells better than organic natural content

Feel this. I find it strange that brands want to pay me to promote their product because they clearly see me as the “expert” in creating content, but then they try to control how I create the content, in a way that I know isn’t going to perform well, like why not just let me do what you hired me for? 🤔

I think It’s normal to see paid sponsorships from creators. What’s sometimes weird to see is when it has literally nothing to do with what they post about. Otherwise it’s fine

I automatically skip most videos that have paid partnership ads. Not because I’m not happy for the creator, but I’m mostly on here for a vibe … when I see to many ads or click baity content, it’s an immediate no. I’m not on here for work all the time

Do you always use the service or product of the brand before accepting / doing a brand deal?
