What do you mean when you say “write the copy for the ads” 17:00

[@MarisaKay]

Copy for the ads is text like the caption, heading, etc!

[@Booksandshowswithkas]

GIRL.....I THINK I'M SUBSCRIBING.....keep creating this content

[@Saniahahmari]

Hey i am interested in so many marketing paths such as content, social media, beauty/fashion, product and digital i just don’t know which field i want to go into. Do you have any suggestions on what deals with a little bit of all categories?

[@MarisaKay]

I think that a social media manger role is a great place to start that will allow you to use a lot of skills/experience different parts of marketing and you can narrow in from there!

[@jerrynieves7689]

What was the name of the active wear company you left?

[@thelifeofmkay]

For the pictures thats inside the template you’re using, where do those come from ?

[@miracleiskey]

Hey just wondering how you structure a campaign for yourself, like for your freelancing?

[@MarisaKay]

For the agency I work at they usually outline the campaign completely or have an internal template for me to follow!

[@miracleiskey]

@@MarisaKay oh wow that’s so cool!

[@miracleiskey]

@@MarisaKay your videos help so much by the way, thank you ✨💕

[@nari1071]

Do u guys use ai like chatgpt to create content ? Captions and copywriting ?

[@Kaeliving]

Hi Marisa! Can you also share how you pay taxes as a freelancer and working for an agency?

[@MarisaKay]

Hi there! It will totally vary by the company you work for (and I am no expert on this topic haha) but when I was with the agency in this video, I was actually employed by a staffing agency so even though I was "freelance" all of my taxes went through them like a normal job! I would also recommend looking into taxes as as independent contractor because that is one way you may be employed as a freelancer.
