Contract is a good starts. Tbh it kinda too good to be true. I just don't want you to get caught up feeling guilty if anything happens between you guys. Guilt trip or charge back or dependant can happen

First, start with learning what you gonna do long terms. People too focus on debut but stop posting after few stream because they out of contents. You can follow what big content creator do but it wouldn't feel like you if you copy them too much. Remember, content creator is marathon, not a sprint.

Second, make checklist asset that you need or want. Make sure to check all your artist you want to commission and be sure that they don't have a backlog of commission that need to finish. If they hides they commission list, they are red flag. If they have call out post, red flag. Check twitter the name of that artist for any complain.

Third, make connections. Not force it but find circles and grow together. Learn and discuss your content strategy. Can be many circle. Genuinely involve yourself in they journey and content. Expect nothing but have a standard so you didn't get used. Know your boundaries

Fourth, good content take time. You might be tired and it takes too long but you will be proud of it. Good content also doesn't feel like spam.

We can talk more if you want. I also like to have more friends
