02%2F2024+2&utm_medium=email_action&utm_source=customer.io )Hey folks👋🏽

By the time you read this, I’m probably 30,000 feet in the air on a flight to
Cancun to meet up with the Buffer team.

This is the most excited and nervous I’ve been to get on a flight (and I just went
on my first solo trip to Paris).

I stan remote work as hard as I do Zendaya, but I’ve been craving that in-person
magic, and I’m about to be hit with a week’s worth of it.

Keep an eye on Buffer’s social accounts for the shenanigans we’ll get up to it and
I’ll see you in 2 weeks!

Let’s get into it!

💌 In today’s email:

* 🤝🏾 From sharing learnings with other creators to finding and negotiating brand
deals, these communities are a treasure trove for creators
* 📱Mitra shares an audio to show off your business
*
📣 The latest social news, features, and bonus reads
* And as always, all the latest and greatest content from the Buffer blog.
Have a great weekend, and we’ll see you next Friday!

Deep dive: 15 Communities for Creators to Help You Connect, Learn, and Find Brand

This is an easy and quick trend to show off a little! You can use however many
clips you like, but use the first part to add text that says something along the
lines of “Oh you’re a [insert your business / profession here]? What do you [do /
make]?” And then transition into showing your product or business in any way.
