How I Organize My Brand Deals

My “Aurae" Era is all about systems over stress. 🕊️

I used to be a "pen and paper" girl, but once the deals started coming in, things got messy. Now, I use this custom Notion dashboard to:

✅ Track payments & invoices

✅ Manage brand outreach

✅ Plan my content calendar

If you're ready to level up your organization, I dropped the link to my starter checklist in the bio. Let's get to work! 💻✨💅🏽

... Read moreManaging brand deals can quickly become overwhelming without a proper system in place. I used to rely on pen and paper, but as the number of collaborations increased, my notes became chaotic and it started impacting my efficiency. Switching to a digital system was a game-changer for me, especially using Notion. It allows me to seamlessly track payments and invoices so I never miss a due date. With a dedicated section for brand outreach, I can easily follow up on potential partnerships and stay on top of communications. Planning my content calendar within the same dashboard keeps my brand collaborations aligned with my posting schedule, helping me deliver consistent and timely content. One trick I've found useful is setting reminders and due dates directly in Notion, which keeps me accountable and ensures no deal falls through the cracks. Reviewing content pillars and hook ideas in the dashboard also helps keep my messaging fresh and engaging for each brand. If you find yourself losing track of deals or feeling overwhelmed, creating a customized digital tracker like this could save you hours of stress. The aesthetic and intuitive interface of Notion makes the experience enjoyable, and its all-in-one layout means I don’t have to juggle multiple apps. For those starting out, I recommend grabbing a ready-made checklist and deal tracker template—like the one linked in the original post bio—to jumpstart your organization process. Investing time to set up a system early can significantly increase your revenue potential by keeping everything neat and easily accessible.
