When you understand how to price yourself properly and negotiate your worth, you're really able to charge a lot more than you think is possible. There is a huge difference when you know your worth, when you know how to negotiate, and when you know how the brands are thinking when they're coming to you asking for your rates. Based on my experience, I notice that the reason why creators are undercharging is that they often have the wrong types of mindset that gets them low balled. And so today we're going to talk about shifting that mindset so that you can charge more for your brand deals and really make this a full-time career.
