The Value of Taking a Brand Deal Early On

Anonymous: I made a video with a sponsorship a few months ago, and the company still hasn't paid me for it. Do they have a history of paying on time? That's actually something that's really important to evaluate through other creators. If you don't have an agent or manager and you're getting a brand deal offer, I would recommend calling other, asking them, what other creators have you worked with? And then trying to reach out to them via DM or ask them to introduce yourself.
