CREATORS: THE FIRST FUND VIDEO IS LIVE
Meet Danah Kim. She is a Seattle creator with 2,479 Instagram followers. On October 17 she shared meals with strangers in downtown Seattle and posted it. It is the first video made for EAT's $1 million clipping fund.
"Beyond the food, it was the conversations, stories, and connections with people I’d never met before that TRULY stayed with me."
The takeaway: you do not need millions of followers. You need content that helps people. Read Danah’s story →
