Hey all! So I currently cannot use my account at all 🫠 I was trying to find something in the settings, clicked the wrong thing, and wound up back at the matchmaking process for finding potential clients that you get when you first set up your Willa account. As I had no way to get out of it — even moving to a different browser didn't help — I just blazed through it, skipping all the prompts hoping that my account wouldn't be affected. But noooowww, I'm still stuck in that setup process, frozen on step 3 where you would typically find your first match. 1) Is there any way my account can be restored to how it was, before November 21st? And... 2) Can you please fix the bug that led me down this path? Me getting stuck on that very first setup screen happened to me once before, right when the beta came out, but I managed to get out of it somehow without affecting my account. I'm honestly really surprised this is something that hasn't been fixed — granted I should've said something then, but regardless, why can't you just go to the previous page if you accidentally go to that starting process? Also, happy thanksgiving to those that celebrate !!! :)

Let us know when this is going live!

Hey Everyone! It's been a minute since I've posted here. Happy to see all the growth happening. 2 years ago, I moved from individual creator to an agency and after some success and quite a bit of struggle, I've decided to come back out from behind the agency name and once again brand myself as a creator. To be honest, I may have fallen victim to the myth that big contracts couldn't be landed by individuals and that I had to use "we" and "our team" in all of my correspondence with people in order to look more legitimate, scale and grow. But I came to discover, that ultimately I was still getting almost the same sized contracts, maybe a little more, but that my costs were also way more. This is not everyone, but for me, the juice wasn't worth the squeeze and ultimately I've decided to change course. There were other variables but by and large, my heart is telling me to just be me right now. Anyway, as I begin to rethink and retool for the end of the year, I'm inspired by this community and the folks at Willa @Aron Levin and @Peter Blom for keeping such solid lines of communication open with us and sharing their knowledge and platform. I wanted to ask a question to the group - what CMS platforms are you use or are excited about lately? I'm inquiring especially in the Creator realm for solo-preneur businesses that will use email, social and ads for marketing and need traditional funnel style integrations for qualifying and acquiring clients. Like everyone - I'm looking for something easy to use, dependable and easy to integrate with other apps we use for business. I appreciate your replies!

Fellow producers, directors, DP’s and videographers, how much of a red flag is this? I work primarily as an editor so I’m not too familiar with pre-production. Most of my coworkers are saying this is no bueno (so it probably is), but I’m interested in hearing some other perspectives. Also, @Aron Levin some feedback, but maybe it would be handy to have categories for different industries on here? General discussions or questions for graphic designers, photographers, videographers, etc. Or maybe there’s a neater, possibly more detailed way to organize different subjects within the community that I’m not aware of.
