PRGoal for 2024: ‘Fluffy’ pays her vet bills💰🐈
Pay transparency is so important in the creator community, as we are often taken advantage of by brands that think we don’t know our worth. Reminder: you can’t pay your bills with free cat toys or treat samples. If you’re still accepting gifts as payment from brands, stop. You deserve to be paid for your work! 💖
⚠️Some disclosures about how we earn this income⚠️
1. The majority of our income comes from working with brands and creating ads for them on Instagram & TikTok. We also make money from selling merch & accessories.
2. As of July 2023, we began to make money via Instagram subscriptions and from ads on Facebook reels. This is still currently a very small part of our income, but we are excited that we are finally earning money from some of our video views! We currently do not make money from YouTube or Instagram reels.
3. We turn down a LOT of brand deals. We only work with brands that we use or think that our audience would enjoy. They also need to align with our rates and pay fairly for our work. Because of this, we usually do an average of 2 ads per month (or less).
4. We almost never accept brand gifts as payment and do not include any gifts or freebies in the total for our income mentioned above. Important to note: gifted collabs where you are required to post about the product in exchange for a gift DO count as income, and you need to pay tax on them.
We are of course grateful to be in a position of being able to create fun content for you as a full time job, but remember that it is exactly that: a full time job! It took many hours of hard work, research, and investing in ourselves to get here.
