Good morning everyone. I've seen a lot of faceless accounts on Instagram and Facebook lately talking about all of the changes that Meta has made in the last few months regarding monetization.
Apparently the only real way to be monetized now is to become a shill for big brands. UGC videos are big business now it seems.
But just so you know, Tabz and I will never buy into that model. We will never recommend any product or brand that she hasn't personally used. This includes the Print On Demand (POD) companies that we use for our merch. If she hasn't purchased a sample, it doesn't go up on the website. And if you ever receive a product that isn't up to standard, please, don't hesitate to contact us and we will do our best to make it right.
It's hard these days to know who to trust in a consumer driven world. But we believe that there can still be meaningful connections. Ethics and integrity are not just words.
There are ethical ways to do everything, sometimes those ways are a little more work and sometimes it means struggling financially because you refuse to do something the "get rich quick" way.
We would rather have a small following of people who believe in what we are creating here, than a million fans we paid for and will drop us for the next shiny thing that comes along.
So, if you're still here, thank you. And if you are new here, or we just happened to show up on your FYP, welcome to the family. We're happy to have you.
