Our Next Meet Up
Our next content creator meet-up will be in Richmond on Tuesday, February 11th, at 12pm at Abi’s Books & Brews! I’m excited to see lots of you in person!
What to Listen To
I know it’s not the most fun topic, but tax time is around the corner, and creators have a unique business model. I loved hearing Richmond-based Cookie Finance share some good advice on the Food Blogger Pro Podcast!
Something to Watch
ShopMy has successfully secured an additional $77.5 million in funding, boosting its overall valuation to over $400 million. The rapidly expanding influencer-powered ad platform is set to use this investment to improve its advertising offerings. This could provide new earning opportunities for content creators.
Quick Tip
You might be sick of hearing about AI (or maybe you love it!) but regardless of how you feel about it, it can be a great tool for creators! One really simple way that I like to use it is to edit a post right before (or after) publishing. I just put the link into ChatGPT and ask if there are any typos or errors. It will quickly point out any mistakes and might even provide some optional suggestions, too!
