Your business email is public.
A brand reaches out. Your heart jumps.
But wait! is it real? Is the person who signed that email actually employed there? Is this a genuine collab or are you about to get played? If you're tech savvy you vet the info from couple of places but still not sure (Idea triggered when I saw recent Mohd Noof incident who was sexually harassed by scammers disguised as T Series casting team)
And that's if you even noticed the email at first place!
Because it's buried. Under 47 fan messages. Three "collab" emails from agencies who sent the same template to 500 creators. Two emails that are clearly not right but you can't explain why. And one that feels real but something about it is just... off.
Here's what nobody talks about:
Missing a real deal because it drowned in noise is just as damaging as falling for a fake one.
How do you currently handle this? What does your inbox actually look like? Have you ever missed something real, or almost fell for something fake?
Not pitching anything. Not selling anything. Genuinely trying to understand if this is a problem worth solving, or if people have figured it out already and I'm missing something
