Today was a funny one. I\u2019ve been getting a ton of partnership offers lately, which is normal once you hit a certain level. But one stood out. A company reached out trying to promote software that lets you fake your phone\u2019s GPS location. You could be sitting in Vancouver and suddenly make it look like you\u2019re in New York. It\u2019s designed for apps that are region-locked or games that run location-based events. Basically, it lets people teleport themselves digitally. <\/p>\n
On paper, they probably thought I was a perfect fit because I\u2019ve made videos for location-based games. But here\u2019s the punchline: I\u2019m actually an official partner with those exact game companies. There\u2019s no way I\u2019m going to promote a tool that\u2019s essentially a cheating device. It made me wonder, did they even do the slightest bit of research before emailing me? <\/p>\n
My partnership with those companies is clearly listed on my profiles. It felt like they were just mass-messaging anyone who makes gaming content, hoping someone would bite. When you\u2019re trying to build real partnerships, you have to do the work. Taking two minutes to understand who you\u2019re pitching can save you from looking unprofessional. Blanket invites just don\u2019t cut it anymore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
