Going viral doesn’t mean you’re getting paid.
In this episode of the Built Different Podcast, Sara Lovestyle and Tilmon M. Keaton break down the biggest trap creators fall into: mistaking visibility for revenue. If you’re a content creator chasing views and wondering why you’re still broke, this conversation is your wake-up call.
We dive into the hard truths behind monetization, the broken promises of platform payouts, and how to actually build a business that pays you back.
From building the wrong audience to going viral with no offer or system in place—we cover it all. This episode is a must-watch for any creator serious about building a profitable brand that lasts.
