We answer: • Why would decluttering influencers work with brands if they sell stuff...aren't we supposed to be getting rid of stuff? • How much money do you actually make as an \"influencer\"? • What goes into making courses, guides, challenges, etc.? • Have we ever regretted a brand deal? ...and more. This one's a fun one, and I hope it helps you make more intentional choices as you navigate social media!
