Charged a kill fee for the first time — brand was furious

They cancelled the campaign 4 days before I was supposed to post, after I'd already filmed. My contract had a 50% kill fee clause. They paid it but sent a pretty aggressive email. Have you had to enforce this? Was it worth the relationship cost?

Same here honestly. The market feels different this quarter.

Totally agree. I stopped accepting gifted two years ago and it was the right call.

Kill fees exist for a reason. You enforced your contract, that's professional.

30 days of posting burned me out for weeks after. Quality > quantity every time.

The collab awkwardness is so real. Sometimes the numbers just don't align.
