this video is amazing! I can relate so much as a videographer. I worked at a marketing company when I first graduated and hated it and switching to freelance and starting my own production company has truly been a blessing.

im rarely influenced by paid ad's BUT MUNCH?? OMG its exactly what i needed, you dont understand how efficient it made my workflow. i had a 12 hour vod that i needed to go though and munch made something that wouldve taken me 4 days IN 10 MINUTES its insane 😭😭😭

This video is very eye opening to a lot of things. Ive tried to start a business while in school and it was very overwhelming because i seen my passion for social media and quickly wanted to profit from it. In that I lost my creativity because I was so fixated with the structure of business and not actual the enjoyment of my passion. Also not being financially supported it does have effects to feel like the grind which resulted rushing the results and not seeing the beauty of the process. Videos like these really give insight to what a business really consumes. Now if i had to change anything i would definitely have to say being a freelancer is much easier when trying to get your footing. Thanks so much for the transparency. I would love to see more videos like these.🧡

This was so helpful! I have been doing freelance marketing for a bit over a year now and I am starting to get to the point where I will need to hire help before I am completely burnt out and this was super helpful.

Great to hear from a womens point of view about a social media agency. I’ve only been seeing the hustle bros lately

[maiakipping]

This is so helpful! I am at the brink of scaling up to potentially looking for my first hire maybe of a VA but with this as my side job alongside my full time role makes this a hard one to know exactly when and how to scale without burning out

Hi! Can you please make a video about the process of building up Creatorly Media's social platforms? What do you delegate? How do you decide what content goes on your business vs personal platforms? Thanks!

I agree about all the guys with content saying you can build an agency in a week lol. It was hard to find something that wasn't just... fluff or a get rich quick video. Thanks for sharing an overview of your business growth! Very cool to see and very inspiring.
