Really value you hanging around to debate this. The whole #ad thing is new to me. The reason I do ad’s is because I left mine and Matt’s joint finance freelance business as we decided to not put the boys back into school. The money we lost from me leaving I make up in advertising. I can see how that is a privileged position to be in and I agree. I can also see how that could be seem as annoying to some. I agree it’s definitely not hard and doesn’t take forever to get a photo, it’s not as hard as being in a office all day missing your kids and definitely not as hard as any job I’ve done before. If I had to go back to work the account would likely not be there so I hope people get something from it. I don’t seek out ad’s. Companies email me and I have a process I go through to see if the company and brand are who I want to work with. I receive so many more opportunities from brands than I go ahead and work with. Two recent examples are Nestle , I didnt want to work with Nestle as a company. You only have to google why are nestle the most hated company to find out why. Another was babybel as we rarely eat cheese and I wouldn’t buy babybel. Obviously I’m not going to explain every advert and why I have decided to go ahead , so from the past comments I can see why people might find things a contradiction like Cadbury’s. I get offered to go to events, they are all in London and I don’t have the time and I’m not a massive fan of social interaction if I can help it. I tend to go to events if they will benefit the boys like a movie they want to see or a festival or a day at a theme park. I totally get this can seem unfair , but we are living in an age where anyone can do this, it’s not just open to the privileged few the rich and famous, which is how it used to be. Anyone can make an account create content find your niche it’s free to do it’s just whether you want to or not. I’m sorry that you don’t like staged photos but they are some of my faves. One of my fave accounts is dirtyhairmessyboots , it’s part of what I’m into so it’s just content I enjoy it’s not for everyone. There will be other account that show a similar lifestyle to mine without couple photos like I do so you might prefer one of those account . Thanks for chatting. I’m always open to debate . X
