Gone are the days where you, you know, I remember back in 2016, brands weren't even asking for insights or analytics. They would just be like, ‘hey, we'll give you $2,000 to create this YouTube video’. Gone are those days. And so it really is about honing in on what it is that you specialize in." – Julie Solomon GUEST RESOURCES: Think Media Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@ThinkMediaPodcast IG: @seancannell RESOURCES: [LAND PAID BRAND DEALS] Want the step-by-step roadmap to grow your following, monetize your content, and land paid brand deals?
