Introduction to Creative Juice

Do you fancy getting some funding for your creative business account? If the answer to that question was yes (which I'm willing to bet it was), then you're going to want to watch this entire video because I'm going to be telling you all about Creative Juice, which is a business banking and funding tool made specifically for creators like you and like me. So let's get to it.

Benefits of Creative Juice for Content Creators

So what is Creative Juice and why do you need it? Well, as I mentioned, Creative Juice is a business banking and business tool available to content creators. It basically provides you with everything you need to run your successful content creation business.

Importance of Having a Business Bank Account

Now you might be wondering, 'Jade, I'm just a Creator, I'm not a business owner.' Well, I hate to break it to you, but you are a business owner. Content creators are business owners. We have to get on top of really important business things, such as our finances, and we also need to be alert and on the lookout for funding opportunities, both of which can be provided by Creative Juice.

Financial Separation with a Business Account

The main reason why you need a business account which is separate from your personal banking account is because as a Creator or a business owner, you need to be able to see your incomings and outgoings separate from your personal versus your business.

Benefits of Financial Division

For example, when you look back on the month of January 2023, you need to be able to easily identify what money you made for your business as a Creator and what money you spent for your business as a Creator versus the amount of money that you spend on food delivery (no judgment, I'm literally about to order a Starbucks so no judgment from me).

Savings and Tax Benefits

Now, by splitting your finances into two, you'll be able to save time. So, you know when that dreaded time of year comes where you need to file your taxes, you'll save so much time if you split your money and you've got a business account. You'll also be able to save some money on Tax as well because you'll have such a clear idea on what you're spending and what you're earning that you'll be able to accurately complete your tax assessment forms, which will ensure that you don't end up spending too much money on tax payments.

Features of Creative Juice

There are a few different things that Creative Juice offers. For example, you will get access to both physical and digital debit cards. In addition to that, you can use these cards to claim rewards such as cashback from some of your favorite vendors. Also, and very importantly, you'll be able to integrate your cards with Apple Pay and Android Pay, which in my opinion is imperative.

Automated Invoicing and Collaboration

You are also able to automatically invoice people using Creative Juice. Now, this is really cool for Content creators who work with anyone, but especially those who work with Brands. So you can use their automated invoicing feature to send out invoices to the brands that you've worked with to ensure that they pay you your money on time. You're also able to collaborate with other members who you might work with through their teams function, and they, of course, have analytics.

Importance of Analyzing Cash Flow

Now, this is really important because using the analytics available on Creative Juice will allow you to get really, really clear on where your money is going, where it's coming from, and also when it's leaving your account and when it's due to come in. This is really important because it helps you monitor something called Cash Flow. Cash flow is literally the flow of cash, alright, that's why it's called Cash Flow.

Juice Funds: Refresh and Reserve Programs

One of the most exciting things that you can get access to when you join Creative Juice is their juice funds: refresh and Reserve programs. Now, these programs are essentially ones which allow you to receive funding to support your creative business. So you know at the start of the video when I was like, 'Do you want to get some funding for your business?' This is what I'm referring to right, this is how you can get it.

Black Creator Incubator Fund

Last but certainly not least, I want to talk to you about Creative Juice's Black Creator Incubator fund. Now, this is what I've been working with Creative Juice on right. They have very generously created a Black Creator Incubator, which essentially allowed them to give five Black creators five thousand dollars each for them to invest into their social media accounts and their own content creation business.
