Hey, y’all! Thanks for stopping by today to check out my thoughts on Shake, a creative marketplace where creators like myself (and I bet you, too!) can sell digital creative services conveniently and securely.

As a competitive athlete, mom of three boys and self-employed boss babe of 15 years who works in the writing, fitness and clean-eating niche, I live by this motto – “The dream is free, but the hustle is sold separately.” I do truly believe I can accomplish whatever goals my can mind conjures up. That is, if I’m willing to put in the hard work – the hours of sweating for my sport, the writing and editing, the recipe testing and tweaking (maybe even twerking, lol), and networking to find people who want to hire me!

This is what a Shake looks like to marketers.

With the new platform Shake, I’m better able to potentially increase my income and work from home by connecting with brands for sponsored gigs (like blogs posts, Instagram posts and reels, virtual appearances, and more). You can see below how I’m starting a new Shake for Virtual Cooking Demos.

It’s so easy to get Shakin’ with this intuitive, self-contained platform.

This creative marketplace is not just for bloggers or Instagram, Youtube and Tic-tok influencers, Shake can also help photographers, videographers, writers, musicians and other creative types making digital products transact with business who are looking for talent! At my recommendation, my 21-year-old son is going to begin marketing his digital gaming art here – I’m excited for him!

Showing my talented son how he can create a side hustle on Shake!

Using Shake is free for the Creator to initiate, there are no monthly fees are anything. However, there is a 15% marketplace fee on the final deal amount – which is actually much more equitable than some similar competitors out there “helping” creators. The good news is that you don’t pay anything upfront. In my opinions, it’s a total win-win for Creators . . . and those marketplace fees are a LEGIT business expenses, so keep your digital invoices.

I’m so excited to share this Shake review with you, I hope you are inspired. Start dreaming and hustling and Click here to join Shake.

First of all, many planks, thanks and healthy well wishes to my friends checking out Zarbee’s Naturals this week!

Have you ever been caught up in the buzz around a new healthy product you’ve seen on social media? Probably so, considering you’re reading a blog right now and a recent Deloitte study reports that at least 33 percent of us are influenced by the products we see promoted in our social media channels like Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, blogs and others. It’s a good thing and how we all can stay happy, healthy and helping our “hives” — meaning our families and larger communities. For me personally, I trust the opinions of friends I’ve developed via these channels – many are experts in their fields and I rely on them to sniff out the latest and greatest products for optimal health!

However, one of my pet peeves is not being able to easily purchase the product – either it’s an online orders only company (I hate to wait), sold in hard-to-find or overly exclusive stores (I need convenience) or is some sort of distributer or subscription situation. However, Zarbee’s Naturals, that effective and amazingly tasty product line of delicious vitamin drink mixes l blogged about last month, is super easy to find —- it’s at Target!

Whoohooo, just when I thought I couldn’t love Target more, they keep upping their awesomeness by stocking some of my favorite things (like Zarbee’s Naturals) in their “Made to Matter – Handpicked by Target” program. It is just SO EASY to run down to my neighborhood target to pick up a few boxes of the chemical-free, safe and natural wellness solutions offered by Zarbee’s Naturals — look for all six varieties on the Immunity Aisle.

In addition to convenience, I appreciate the fact that I know Target is selling me Zarbee’s Naturals at a fair price that won’t bust my budget! Perhaps, I’ll even have enough left to go treat myself to a new cute workout top or maybe this awesome bike. Or, #allthestarwarsthings

Amen to these sentiments that Zarbee’s Naturals shares – “In a community, the happier and healthier one person becomes individually, the happier and healthier everyone becomes collectively”. I believe this is truth for your own personal hive of family members as well as your larger social media family. It’s always the perfect season for being happy and healthy and connecting with friends – so take care of yourself (and your community) with Zarbee’s Naturals.

Reason to love @Target even more, they sell @Zarbees Vitamin drink mix #MadeToMatter #DrinkForYourself #Ad
