I wanted to work with a friend at Work Study so I assisted them with resources I had that I guessed they may have not heard of beforehand, and my assumption was correct. We ended working together long term, and maintained a good college friendship as well.

(Using Tiffany Ferguson from Internet Analysis as an example) Hi Tiffany, I’ve been watching Internet Analysis for a while now, and I really admire how you approach topics most creators avoid — from creator burnout to ethical brand partnerships. Your content is smart, honest, and rare. I’m currently interning with Vidovo, a platform that helps creators like you connect with brands without the gatekeeping, weird DMs, or pressure to compromise your values. It’s all about giving you control over the kinds of partnerships you want — with transparency and ease. I’d love to personally invite you to join Vidovo. You’re exactly the kind of creator the platform was made for — thoughtful, intentional, and building something bigger than just clicks. If you’re open to chatting or want to peek at the platform, I’d be happy to send a link or set something up. Appreciate everything you create — thanks for using your platform so intentionally.
