Justin Moore is a Sponsorship Coach & the founder of Creator Wizard, a school & community that teaches you how to find & negotiate your dream brand deals so that you stop leaving thousands on the table. He’s also a member of my membership community, the Creative Companion Club!
Along with his wife April, Justin has been a full-time creator for over 7 years and has personally made over $3M working with brands. He has also run an influencer marketing agency for over 5 years that has helped other creators earn an additional $2M.
Today, Justin runs a cohort-based course called Brand Deal Wizard to help creators land their dream sponsorships, a growing TikTok and he has a personal mission to enable creators big and small to land 1 million paid brand partnerships by 2032.
In this episode, we talk about his experience on KZfaq, why he thinks TikTok today is like KZfaq 10 years ago, how you can land your own brand partnerships, and why Reliability has been HIS secret weapon in working with brands.
