In this episode of The Creator Money Show, Abby is joined by Paige Haynes to talk about something every creator needs but many avoid: sales.


Whether creators are pitching brands, following up with potential partners, negotiating repeat work, or trying to build long-term business relationships, selling is part of building a creator business. But it does not have to feel pushy, awkward, or sleazy.


Paige shares how creators can shift their mindset around follow-up, stay top of mind without annoying people, and create a simple outreach system that helps build real opportunities. 


Abby and Paige also talk about using social proof, making thoughtful connections, outsourcing wisely, and why business owners do not get a medal for doing everything alone.


This episode is for creators who want to confidently sell themselves, follow up with brands, and build stronger relationships in their business.
