Hey there.
I got a message last week from a creator who joined
Foxy a couple of months ago, and I haven't stopped thinking about it.
She'd landed the email every creator waits for - a skincare brand, four posts, ten days. Biggest deal of her year, $2,000.
Two days later: flu. Couldn't shoot. Couldn't sit up, let alone do hair and makeup for four different looks.
Here's the part that gets me. She'd uploaded her selfies when she joined and had been making photos of herself for fun ever since but she never considered using them for client work. Surely a paying brand would notice they weren't from a real shoot. Right?
So she spent two days drafting the apology email instead.
The night before sending it, she figured she had nothing to lose. She opened Foxy and generated the four looks the brief asked for her, in golden hour, clean girl, soft glam, street.
From bed. In one evening.She sent them to the brand fully expecting pushback.
The reply:
"These are great thanks. Can we think about some content for next month too?"The brand didn't notice.
Her audience didn't notice.
The only person who thought her
Foxy photos weren't good enough for paid work was her.
If you're reading this, you already have everything she had. The question is whether you're treating it like an experiment or like the tool that saves your biggest deal.
Three to make tonight, so they exist before you need them:
