Nicely, right here we’re.
I obtained scammed. I did a number of thousand {dollars} value of labor, solely to be ghosted after delivering the content material, by no means to be paid, and by no means to be heard from once more.
Enable me to vent for a number of moments.
The world of content material creation is a little bit of…nicely, a little bit of an anomaly. It’s the “new frontier” of selling, and what makes it so difficult is that as individuals are figuring it out, the mediums are consistently evolving. Instagram, TikTok, Fb — month to month, each platform morphs and adjustments, protecting the whole enterprise all the time on its toes, able to adapt or shift at a second’s discover.
Simply for instance: all of final 12 months, my revenue was comprised almost solely of Pinterest content material creation. I used to be making unimaginable cash as one in all their “Creators” and swiftly, on November 29, I get an e-mail that beginning Dec 1 (ie: two days later), they have been ceasing their “Creator Program,” and similar to that – that revenue stream utterly dried up. No warning, no exit technique. Simply. Nothing.
So on the subject of content material creation, issues are topic to alter, actually in a single day with out warning.
This fixed fluctuation additionally makes this discipline ripe for scammers and con artists.
And nicely, let’s simply say I obtained performed like a fiddle.
Over the vacations I had a partnerships with a seemingly legit firm… with a legit web site, linked in profile, and evaluations. I did a number of thousand {dollars} value of labor for them, creating content material — together with video, textual content and social media — delivered on my finish of the discount, after which…*poof,* they vanished.
I reached out and reached out and reached out for over three months, and nothing. I attempted to e-mail the e-mail addresses discovered on that “legit web site” and each got here again with an enormous, fats, “Failure Discover” – that the e-mail handle “doesn’t exist.”
I’ve known as the quantity on the web site, which works straight to voicemail. I’ve regarded up the LinkedIn profiles from my contacts on the “firm…” nada.
Frankly, I’m so livid about this. I really feel defeated, I really feel used, I really feel silly. And I’m simply plain MAD!
So anyway. Thanks for letting me vent. You know the way typically, you simply have to TELL SOMEONE. Like, you simply have to really feel HEARD?
Nicely, that’s me proper now. So thanks for listening to me.
