Good Morning Cultivators,
I am on a flight back to the mainland from Puerto Rico after a day of weather delated delays that gave me an extra night in paradise.
Chatting with a creator in the airport… and she asked me… if there was a place she can find real opportunities to grow her brand and make money.
I smiled because… that’s why I put this newsletter together. For people like “us”
This week’s newsletter is packed with creator opportunities that are actually worth your time—platform deals, grants, brand collabs, and ways to get paid without waiting on some low-paying algorithm to bless you.
And listen…
I don’t gatekeep over here.
If I find something valuable, I’m sharing it. Period.
You’ll see everything from:
Pinterest’s creator fund
Pearpop’s brand matchmaking
LinkedIn’s original show deals
Snapchat finally paying up
Grants you can apply for right now
All organized, verified, and linked—because creators deserve transparency and access, not a maze of broken links and dead ends.
Take what you need.
Send it to your friends.
Apply even if you think you’re “not ready”, believe me when I tell you…you probably are.
We’re not just building brands. We’re building freedom.
Let’s keep sharing opportunities…
George
