My guest on this week's episode of your favourite freelancing advice podcast, Project Freelance, is Christina Rotondo, a musician, vocalist, and content creator based in Nottinghamshire in the UK. I sit down with Christina to chat about the current state of the Youtube platform, how it's affecting new and long time content creators, and what it takes to become successful online in an overly saturated market. I know you've probably heard this tale hundreds of times by now, from your favorite creators, whether it's them telling you that vlogging "ruined their relationship" or that they're "quitting the daily videos," etc. etc., but this is not that tale. New creators need to realise how difficult it can be to "make it" in this data filled, fast-paced, instantaneous time we live in.
