because I want y’all to be honest 👀 For those of you using the Claude + Netlify portfolio method: Is the setup or upkeep feeling too complicated to realistically maintain for your level of techness? Because I still believe that method gives you a more custom, professional portfolio long-term… BUT if the tech is making you avoid updating your portfolio, then it is creating a problem instead of solving one. Vote below: YES — I understand it, but keeping it updated feels like too much KIND OF — I can do it, but I avoid touching it NO — I’m comfortable using and updating it No wrong answers!!! I found a simpler alternative for creators who need something easier to maintain. Something more Canva styled but actually useable! It is more template-based, but the templates are actually built for creators, and we can still use the portfolio link with Google Analytics so we’re not completely giving up the ability to track traffic and performance. If you vote YES or KIND OF, I will DM you and help you move into the simpler setup. The goal is not to make your portfolio more complicated. The goal is to make sure you actually USE it and have it work for you!

and it's better news than it sounds. We're not waiting on an app build to get you real results. Matchd is now a hands-on matchmaking agency 🙈 I personally (with my assistants) will match you with brands looking for creators who bring more than content 👉🏻 skills like email/SMS, audits, campaign design, analytics tracking and creator management. Founding members (anyone who was on the original Matchd waitlist): you're in for free. No catch, no timer, this is your reward for being early. New members: $50/month gets you ongoing access. As brand jobs come in, you get matched, no cap on how many, no waiting on an app to catch up. This means faster matches, real relationships, and a system that gets smarter every week instead of a slow build behind the scenes. The app will still be coming but I am tired of the legalities and hang ups keeping y'all from PAY DAYS!!!! Questions? Drop them below, I'll be doing the matching myself starting MONDAY. 🤝

Okayyy this one is FUN. Girl Scouts just partnered with BARK to launch Patch Pals… blueberry muffin-inspired dog treats made specifically for pups. Such an easy campaign to build creative around, especially for pet creators, family/lifestyle creators, or anyone who can make this feel nostalgic + ridiculously cute. And I’m making this one a little different 👀 Comment below with WHY you’re a strong fit for this collab + the concept you’d pitch. I’m personally going to choose the responses that stand out and pitch those creators directly to the brand. Don’t just write “I have a dog.” Sell me on you like you’d sell the brand: ✨ What makes your audience/content fit? ✨ What’s your creative angle? ✨ Why would your concept stop the scroll? Make me want to put your name in front of them. 🐾🍪
