5 years self-employed: career milestones, biggest hurdles, and honest reflections - Ep 98

It's officially been 5 years since I handed in my two week's notice at my marketing job. Where has the time gone?? In today’s episode I’m taking a different approach to reflecting on my creator journey and getting pretty candid about what I think has truly helped me be a full-time content creator for the last 5 years, the biggest insecurities and decisions that I lost sleep over, what I would do if I were starting from scratch today and so much more. I may not have all the answers, but I’m always here to share my journey and provide insight into what the influencer industry is really like, which is fun and creative but also very challenging and always interesting to guess where the industry will turn next and what problems will need solving in this ever-evolving world of digital media.Mentioned in episode 98:Palm Beach guide blog postAlessandra’s InstagramRules I follow as a self-employed creatorHow I made it 4 years self-employedWhy I closed my PatreonChanging my YouTube channelInfluencerSEOVeronica (influencer lawyer)How I financially prepared to be self-employedLet’s Get Dressed episodeThe Influencer Income AcceleratorTamron Hall showMy feature on YouTube’s blogFollow Create & Consume:YouTube | Instagram | TikTok | PinterestFollow Austen:YouTube | Instagram | TikTok | BlogPodcast inquiries can be sent to [email protected] the website: https://www.createandconsumepodcast.com/Music credit: Babak Bazgosha via Pond5
