Can this become a trend!? I'd love to see more creators go back and analyze which brand deals they like/regret.

I honestly appreciate it when omnivores also talk about/ advertise plant based or vegan products. Sceptical omnivore people would probably rather listen to you than someone who's been vegan for 10 years. Incorporating more plant foods is great for everyone (plus the animals and environment) :D

@JustinaErcole Жыл бұрын

I definitely recommend that specific brand to my plant based clients!

OMG I forgot about that thing! So that was UGC (user generated content). Actually a good product. I use it sometimes but wouldn't purchase it myself so I probably wouldn't take the deal again. Thanks for the reminder on that one!

I really like that you admitted to loving the product but wouldn’t spend the money yourself. I often wonder that when I see people promoting brands. That and when they say something is amazing, but have another brand that is a similar product. Like what one is actually giving these ‘amazing’ results

@DarkBlueNutrition Жыл бұрын

Great video Justina! I’ve just recently started learning this with brands as well. It can be tempting to take every offer of free or paid product promotion - but I’ve learned to ask similar questions that you mentioned: -Would I actually pay for this myself? -Would I recommend it to my family and friends? -Is this just another “fluffy” $30 supplement that’s not going to change the big picture? -How long has this brand been around and what’s their reputation? … I’m particularly wary of supplements because there is so much potential for adverse side effects, recalls or sketchy practices. (Which of course, this tends to be 60% of the brand emails I get 😂)

I could use that Chirp Wheel! I'm always hanging over the bed stretching my back and cracking it, lol. I won the Booty Kicker in your giveaway, but unfortunately I don't really have the room for it. But it's a great product if you have a dedicated workout room. I've been absent from social media for awhile, I had some health problems. But I'm feeling better and slowly getting back to exercising, thankfully. Enjoyed the video!

You can use plant-based products even if you are not a vegan! That would actually be the ideal: that a lot of people swap some animal products into plant-based ones. Because everyone turning vegan is not realistic. And you see so much black and white thinking concerning this, like "I can't use vegan products because I can't give up on cheese". Okay, then don't! You don't have to! You can eat cheese but still reduce the amount of red meat you are consuming. At least where I live, vegan products are on the rise. More people use oat milk in their coffee than regular milk. And those people still eat meat. And I say this as someone who does mainly use plant-based products but also uses regular cheese, eggs, fish etc. ✌🏻

@JustinaErcole Жыл бұрын

I agree! But in regards to the plant based products I discussed here. I prefer a whey based protein so I don’t think I should be openly promoting a plant based protein. And the vegan restaurant, I honestly would never eat there without the free meal. So I don’t think I should promote it. Hope that explains more!

Hey Justina. Love your channel probably watched all your videos! I was wondering how you get the brand deals? Do you reach out to them or vice versa. Also have you tried working with agencies?

@JustinaErcole Жыл бұрын

Hey! All of the brands I’ve worked with have reached out to me. Honestly brand deals are cool and exciting, but I don’t want it to be the main way I make money. So I don’t see myself ever working with an agency. Hope that helps!

@mirosanovo8071 Жыл бұрын

Just about the posting gifted contents, I think that, although you wouldn't buy the product, you actually have the occasion to try it and tell us if it's good or not. Unless you are 'obliged' to tell it's good even when you don't like it, I would suggest to go for it

The one I was the most shocked about was the CBD gummies To see you promote them when you have a "no bullshit, no not backed up by science claims" approach I was like "what?!" I think it happened close to a video where you called out another YTber for doing a similar thing 😅 But I also understand money and all that And it didn't become a reccuring thing on your channel so 🤷‍♀️ (I don't follow you on tiktok or instagram)

@JustinaErcole Жыл бұрын

Oh I stand behind that sponsorship! I explain it in the video too, but it’s a solid option for people (CBD and hemp products).

@shelbysmith3712 Жыл бұрын

I appreciate the insight into how your brand deals and such work behind the scenes. I feel like that's a topic without much clarity when it comes to content creation. I have an unrelated question. I'm curious about your professional opinion on PMS/Period workouts. I see a lot of them on KZfaq. Are there actual specific exercises that alleviate unpleasant symptoms or is it just clickbait and any exercise that feels good is fine?

@JustinaErcole Жыл бұрын

I'm actually in the middle of my pre/post natal cert, which talks a lot about that! I'll make a whole video once I feel more knowledgable but there's absolutely science and studies to back it up. BUT also beware that a lot of the people putting out those programs are probably very misinformed lol
