Commerical gig work basic details timestamp
$300 - $1000 for one ad
Doing 3-5 a month
"I'm trying to get my inner reality to finally reflect on the outside so there was a whole history of some seriously traumatic shit that went down in Las Angeles, and before hand, and I really froze up and stopped participating in life, you could say? And I let others support me and I've put in a little bit of energy here and there to support myself but luckily now that I've done all this inner work and I have been realigning my life - that UGC work, the commercial work, it didn't feel aligned, so I'm doing this easy job like let's say-"
"What's the easy job"
- "like let's say I put in 30 minutes for an AG One Greens commercial where they're like 'Why's your skin so glowy? and I'm like AG One!' you know, that kind of thing. So cool I've just made 300 off of that but why do I not feel fufilled and why am I not taking my time to actually participate more so what I've found feels best right now is helping small businesses. So I'm taking the skills that I used in creating social media ads, you could say, and I'm turning it into my consulting and production company."
"I wear my expensive clothes and I buy my dog the expensive food and I do all this shit that will make me like, make me feel better when really actually gaining some sovereignty and some independence will make me feel better in the heart and so now I'm also turning, I guess, I'm playing you say two side of the point, I'm doing the work that doesn't feel good to survive, bearly, because there's so much resistance there but now, I am actually just inthe middle of my first pitch deck to a client in order to consult them in social media authenticity"
