If You Value the Work, Pay the Price

Can you do it for free? I’ll tag you.
No.
Because exposure doesn’t pay rent.

If you truly value someone’s work — pay them. The full amount. No “bro deals,” no “just this once.”

Whether it’s a freelancer, creator, small business, or service provider —
they don’t need exposure. They need respect.

✨ Real value > visibility
✨ Fair pay > fake hype

If you’re building a brand or hiring for a project, don’t just talk “support local” — live it.
