about 4 weeks ago, a project reached out to me to recommend KOLs that'll help give publicity to their project and grow their followers. legit project fr with a good raise.
I painstakingly reached out to several KOLs, negotiated their rate, and locked in on 5 great KOLs here with good engagements.
I reported to the project, the CM reviewed the lists, the rates, and agreed to everything; it was within their budget.
okay. I felt satisfied and expecting the deal to run through.
community manager reaches out to the CEO and the rest of the team, expecting disbursement of funds, so the campaign could start asap.
CEO reviews the proposal and then presses on the CM to tell the KOLs to believe in the vision and future of the project and work for free. lol
