A lot of people notice that after using Jolie, their hair feels softer, less dry, and less frizzy, while their skin feels more hydrated and less irritated. Itโ€™s especially popular with people who deal with dry skin, eczema, acne, or scalp issues.

Itโ€™s also super easy to install and looks really sleek and minimal, so it doesnโ€™t feel like a bulky or ugly bathroom upgrade. Itโ€™s one of those โ€œyou donโ€™t realize you need it until you try itโ€ beauty products.

That Feeling When Your Hard Work Starts to Pay Off…Literally.

When we last met, I was tired. Very tired. I was tired of working for free, and I was tired of being tired from staying up too late working for free. I knew that I had to do something: no longer accept unpaid work. I’d created a Media Kit and Rate Card that I posted here on this website. I also linked to my Media Kit through my Link in Bio that I use primarily on Instagram, since they only allow you the one link (for now). Well, it’s turned out to be the absolute best thing that I could’ve possibly done for the progression of my Content Creation journey!

How I have been feeling about working lately.

In that Link in Bio, which brings in lots of collaboration requests from brands and marketing companies each month, I placed the “My Media Kit and Rate Card” link as close to the top of the list as I could while not hiding away links from current or recent collaborations. This past month, since posting my Media Kit and Rate Card, I brought in at least as many jobs as I normally do through my Link in Bio, if not more, but this month was different. Well, it’s the same, but it’s different. The difference? The majority of the offers that I’m getting now either offer a paid rate, or they at least seem to acknowledge that I’ll be expecting the collaboration to be paid, and we move on to negotiations. Sure, a few certainly have no intention of paying for my work, and I move on from those offers. I’ve had to turn down a lot of jobs this month because they were unpaid, and some were just not a good fit. It’s typical for me to have to turn down jobs in any given month for the reasons given, but it’s only increased since I’ve made this promise to myself. I can’t do my best on the pretty big (and also paid) workload I’ve got now if I’m adding on collaborations that don’t pay. I could instead add more paid jobs. You get the idea here.

At the beep, the time will be…

Now, this next part is brand new for me, and boy, is it welcome! Before posting my Media Kit where anyone could access it, I would rarely be offered to be paid for my work. I’ve always had to ask. I’m not talking about negotiating. What I’m referring to is asking something, such as, “Do you have a budget for Creators,” or something to that effect. Sure, I tried and at times succeeded in being paid despite this, but the expectations were mostly that I wouldn’t request compensation. There’s a pretty big reason for this, and I’d like to dedicate a blog post to the topic soon. It’s because there are so many Creators out there that will work for free and all no questions, and this is a pretty big problem for the Creator economy as a whole. (Bookmark this website, and stay tuned for a post about this and more about the Creator economy!) Thankfully, things seem to have changed for me for the good, and I’m hoping they continue to get better. Simply put, I need to be paid for my work if I’m going to work full-time as a Creator, which is the only thing that I want to do and have been working toward for the past 5 years or so. I’m 38 years old, I’m unmarried, and I take care of myself, so there’s no one out here paying my bills. I have to do that myself, and I can’t pay my bills by working pro bono forever. If I knew that things would change so drastically and so quickly by simply posting my Media Kit where it can be accessed by brands for potential collaborations, then I’d have taken it more seriously and done it long ago! That’s alright. I like to think that things happen when they’re supposed to happen, and now is the time!

There’s no time like the present.

A lot of my previous paid work was mostly posted on Instagram. That’s changed. A good bit of the work I’m currently doing seems to be mostly away from Instagram, although that’s generally where I’m being found and contacted by brands or companies. Things seem to be changing a bit more, though. Since my last post, I’ve gotten more paid offers than I can handle. Some of these offers have been really awesome, and some not so great, but that’s totally normal. The point is: they’re paid offers. I’ve still got a few “free posts” that I’m working on, but these were already established relationships. I haven’t taken on any new work that isn’t paid. I honestly don’t have any time in my schedule for any more work at this moment, especially if it’s unpaid work. This is going to be a crazy busy month, and I’m more than ok with that!

The work never ends. That’s why I’m no longer doing work for free.

In addition to my Freelance Creator endeavors, I’ve applied to a few Social Media Creator positions through LinkedIn, one of which I’ve got a seriously good feeling about. My “pre-interview call,” as I call it, was nothing short of great! The person from the company that called me was insanely cool, easy to talk to, and she had lots to talk about. Her outgoing personality successfully removed all nervousness from my mind. Needless to say, we hit it off immediately, and we had a really awesome conversation. I feel good vibes and a good energy about the whole thing, so we’ll see how things go this next week! Wish me luck! I’ll be sure to update you on what happened, so make sure to bookmark my site, so you’ll never miss a thing!

I’ve got my fingers crossed!

This is all one huge step in the right direction, and I couldn’t be happier! I’m happy that I’m finally being paid for my hard work because I decided to make the move toward only paid work. It’s working out greater than I’d expected in this short amount of time, and I’m grateful for that. I’m also feeling great about the job that I had the pre-interview call with! It’s an amazing position. I won’t tell you too much about it now, but let’s just say that if I got this job, it would change my life and my father’s for the best. Here’s to things only getting better!

I’ll talk to you again soon to update you on all of these awesome collaborations that I’m working on, the results of my job interview (hopefully), and anything else that happens between now and then! Until then, come over and hang out with me on my Instagram page! That’s where I always am, and I’d love to talk to you! ๐Ÿค—โค๏ธ

I’m consistently updating these documents, as they change, so it’s always be up to date!

โ€ข Media Kit โ€ข

If you’re interested in any of the listed services on my Rate Card, or if you’re seeking services that are not listed above, then I’d be more than happy to discuss partnering with you to create and deliver the type of content you’re looking for! Please email me at the email address listed on my Media Kit, kate@thekateexperience.com, so we can get the ball rolling!

I’m doing Livestreams now, too?

It’s funny how we end up traveling the roads that we didn’t think we’d walk down!

I am now an Official BIGO LIVE Host! Anyone can Livestream on BIGO, but “Hosts” must be recruited by an agency through BIGO, and pass an audition in order to become an Official Host. The difference? Hosts make money, while regular Livestreamers do not, since we technically work for BIGO LIVE. Plus, we have quotas to meet, including a lot of Livestreaming hours, so I’ll be doing a lot of Live Broadcasts that you should totally come watch!

That’s the short version of the story for now!

If you’re reading this, then I’d like to invite you to stop by my Livestream tonight! I’m scheduled to go Live at 6:00 P.M. EST, but I may be on a bit earlier, which would be between 5:30 and 5:45 P.M.

My user name is KateExperience. Come find my profile OR here’s a handy little link that will take you directly to my profile. And don’t worry: signing up is free, so don’t forget to sign up, so you can watch!!!

I hope to see you tonight! If not tonight, then find me, KateExperience, on BIGO LIVE, and my posts will tell you when I’m going Live next!

See you tonight!!!

Goals

And the Band Plays On…

In my previous entries, I explained how excited I was to be taking courses that will help me become certified: twice, even! I also spoke of my landlord being a pain, which I’m sure anyone that’s ever had a landlord can relate to. Her unwelcome visit and excessive contacts meant that my learning progress was stalled, which I’m not thrilled about. However, that’s finally over with, and I can continue on with my life as I was. Time to hit the books, so to speak!

Now that I’ve got lots of time on my hands again, I’m getting ready to take the deep dive into my work again, and I couldn’t be more happy. I felt like life was on pause. A severe case of anxiety mixed with the whole thing with my landlord took it’s toll on me. I feel much better now, and I’m ready to resume my learning and step closer toward my goal of acquiring a job in Social Media Marketing.

As for my work as a Content Creator, I’ve currently secured two very promising jobs, one of which I hope will lead to a long-term relationship with the brand. I’m always looking for work, so it’s nice to have a couple of gigs locked down while I’m looking for more.

Currently, I’m awaiting the delivery of a package of products from a very well known Korean skincare brand called Haruharu Wonder. Surprisingly, I didn’t need to negotiate with them at all, because they offered to pay, which is rare, and they just so happened to offer a rate that I’m not only comfortable with but one that I typically charge for this type of work anyway. I was extremely happy when they offered me a wage instead of going through the whole negotiation process, which can often make or break a deal completely. I’ll be doing an unboxing video for them on Instagram, using my skills in photography to create a static or carousel post, and I’ll include a few Instagram stories, switch was requested, but I’d have done for them anyway, as it’s a great way to create extra reach. They’ve requested that I post my video to TikTok, as well, for which I’d typically ask for the rate to increase, but I said ok, because I feel that I could really create a long-term relationship with Haruharu with a show of good will.

The second job I’ve secured, the name of the brand escapes me at this moment, is for a micro needling product. These are products, or “tools,” that are used in skincare but aren’t entirely mainstream. My audience will be enticed and intrigued to see the video tutorial that I create for them both on Instagram and YouTube. I’ll include Instagram stories, as well, plus a static post, because I just love photography! For these services, we’ve agreed to a rate of $200. This is lower than my normal rates, but I know that my audience will like this product, so I’m ok with going a little bit lower.

I’m very excited to have at least 2 jobs nailed down, looking for more work, and getting ready to get back into my studies on a more fullterm basis. My next entry will include more information about these projects. For now, it’s time for me to get to work!

Goals

I’m Gaining My Certification in Social Media Marketing, and I’m Thrilled!

I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned this before, but I applied for Financial Aid for the Facebook Social Media Marketing Specialization on November 1st. After 5 days, I was feeling antsy, so I put in an application for the Social Media Marketing Specialization offered by Northwestern University, as well. Why not, right?!

I usually learn just for fun, so it’s nice to be working toward a goal that will help me in my subsequent job search!

Since my last post, my Financial Aid decisions came in, and I was approved for both Specializations! Actually, they’re both 6 Course Specializations, and I’m technically only approved for Course 1 in each, but that’s a great start!

I’m self-taught in Social Media Marketing, so I’ve got no documentation to say that I possess the skills that I do, which is the primary reason for me taking the Specializations. After I’m finished, I’ll have 2 Highly Accredited Professional Certifications in Social Media Marketing: one from Facebook and the other from Northwestern University!

Courtesy of Facebook and Coursera, both of which are awesome.

Going into the course having already studied most of the material many times over has definitely given me a leg up, because I’m almost finished Course 1 of both Specializations, and it’s only been 6 days since I’ve had access to the first course. I’m so close to finishing the courses that I’ve already put in my Financial Aid application for Course 2 in each Specialization. I figured I should do that now, since the decision takes exactly 15 days to come in, and I don’t want to take any breaks if I don’t have to!

Courtesy of Northwestern University

I’ve only gained access to the offering from Northwestern University last night. This course, as well as the other, are both a bit easy right now, since these are the introductory courses, and I’m simply relearning what I already know.

You’re probably wondering why I decided to take 2 Specializations. Honestly, I just love to learn, and I figured that it can’t hurt to have 2 Certifications! Plus, the Northwestern University Specialization is a little different than the Facebook Specialization, which is really cool, because I’ll get to cover as much information as possible!

There’s nothing wrong with being a little nerdy!

Sure, it sounds nerdy, but I really just love to study and learn. I always have a hunger for knowledge, and I’ve found out after starting to study these courses that the hunger is stronger than I thought it was in the first place.

I love learning SO much!

I couldn’t be happier right now about where I am, my goals, and where I plan to be a year from now. I’m looking forward to where and how far this part of the journey will take me. It’s really exciting, and I can’t wait to share it here on my blog with you!

anxiety, Goals

I WILL Enjoy Crushing my Content & Cleaning Goals this Weekend!

Have you ever been SO riddled with anxiety, had a TON of things to get done on a deadline, and become so overwhelmed that you end up doing NONE of it? That’s my Saturday in a nutshell.

I hope you’re all having a great weekend, and if you celebrate Halloween, then I hope you have a blast! What am I doing this weekend, you ask? Well, I’ll be doing EVERYTHING, naturally!

I found out a week ago from my landlord that the Township Inspector is coming on Monday to check the fire alarms and all of that fun stuff. Normally, this wouldn’t be an issue. However, it seems that I’ve accumulated far more things than my apartment is equipped to store, and it looks as though a tornado had ripped through my home, scattering about everything that I own, which is too much, apparently. Can I still use COVID as an excuse for things?

Just kidding! The truth is, a tornado ripped through my apartment.

A few days ago, I spoke with a really awesome K-Beauty skincare brand that I create content for each month called PlumpShop. They let me know that they’d extended my deadline to submit the 4 (or more) pieces of content and this month’s PlumpShop Skincare Box review form that I must complete, as a PlumpShop Ambassador! That’s great news, because I was afraid I would miss out on receiving next month’s Beauty Box, and for a Sinatra freak like me, that would be just heartbreaking!

I’m SO grateful that I was granted an extension in until Monday to submit all of my work to PlumpShop, but I’d be lying if I said that’s I wasn’t having a full-blown internal freakout. Sometimes, my anxiety gets the best of me, which is usually when I have a lot more to do all at once, on a deadline, and with only 2 1/2 days remaining. Hopefully, they won’t make me submit by the time it’s due in Korea! That would throw a monkey wrench into my plans!

Last month’s PlumpShop Box ๐Ÿ˜

On Monday, November 1, 2021, I will also be hearing back from Coursera with their decision on whether or not to grant me the Financial Aid that I’ve applied for. I’m planning on taking a Social Media Marketing Specialization 6 Course Certification, which is accredited and from both Coursera AND Facebook. As someone that’s entirely self-taught in the field and not having the perfect degree or any really great, accredited Certifications like this one. I have a feeling that by obtaining this Certificate from Coursera and Facebook, I’ll have something substantial on paper that will give me a pretty nice edge ahead of my competition AKA my fellow Aspiring Social Media Marketing ladies and gents.

Many snoozed Calendar Reminders into this evening, and I’ve still not gotten down to the nitty gritty. I’ve done a bit of brainstorming, but that’s just not enough. It’s now the evening. I’m a total night owl, so this isn’t usually a problem for me. I have no qualms with creating content and doing the heavy duty cleaning that my apartment requires before Monday. But of course, there’s always a but! Because my anxiety has been at its current elevated level, I was unable to sleep last night, and I’m kind of notorious for falling asleep at all times but the appropriate ones.

I’ll be putting off the content creation of my incredibly awesome PlumpShop Products until tomorrow tomorrow after I rest my creative brain, because, well, it’s NEVER a good idea to rush content, and I do subpar work when I’m sleep-deprived. That leaves the grunt work for tonight. Although it is already 7:00 p.m., I think that I may take a “power nap.” This is very risky for me. I will either wake up after a quick few hours of shut eye, or I will wake up sometime later tomorrow. I can’t afford to chance it this time, so I’m going to whip myself into gear and start tackling some of this cleaning!

“Woah!!” – Ted Theodore Logan

As for my Coursera Financial Aid decision also being on Monday: I may not have to do much but kick my feet up and wait for an email from Coursera, but my anxiety will make sure that I can’t rest because of that either. ๐Ÿ˜‚

It looks like the remainder of my evening and well into the wee hours of the night, I’ll be packing up bins full of my possessions and lugging them down to the basement. That is the plan…if I can stay awake long enough.

Just give me 5 more hours.”

If I call asleep hard before getting much done, then hey, there’s always one more day to clean, and a little more than a day to create my content! At least I’ve got my goals lined up, and I’m ready to hit them like a champ!

I’ll most definitely be posting about my oh so fun Monday after the Township Inspector and my dreadful, dreadful Landlord invade my home, I’ve finished and posted all of my due content, and I’ve gotten word back from Coursera about my Financial Aid decision. And hey, I’m sure things will go every way besides according to plan, so I think I’ll have lots to talk about in my next blog post. I’ll keep you posted!

While you’re here…

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! ๐ŸŽƒ
