Should you Create Trending or Evergreen Content? ft. Avi Gandhi & Phil Ranta

Get $400 off your early-bird ticket to Sponsor Games, my first in-person event to help you get more brand deals: https://www.sponsorgames.comIs chasing trends cringe? Doesn't it make more sense to create evergreen content? Time for a debate!Attend the best conference for creators. Buy your Craft + Commerce ticket today: https://go.creatorwizard.com/CDCCpromoBig thanks to ConvertKit for sponsoring this episode!Join Brand Deal Wizard to Access "After Dark" episodes & become a supporter of the podcast: https://www.creatorwizard.com/branddealwizardI naturally gravitate toward Evergreen content because as a sponsorship coach, I’m constantly getting asked questions about how much to charge for a brand deal or how to negotiate better - so I make videos and write articles that have a long-tail searchability.The idea of building an ever-growing body of work that creators can tap into forever feels like a compounding exercise.But every time I open up social media, I see creators absolutely blowing up, gaining sometimes hundreds of thousands or even millions of followers by tapping into the cultural zeitgeist in a clever or unique way.I get these occasional pangs of FOMO and try to film some videos to ride the coattails of a hot topic or news article but I dunno, maybe my heart just isn’t there.Plus I have this fear that I’ll start spending too much time on social media “researching” so I can have my finger on the pulse of what’s trending that I’ll imperceptibly shift from a producer of content to a consumer of it.  Nu-uh.Honestly, I just don’t know what to do, which is why I asked two experts to settle this debate, once and for all. Introducing Avi Gandhi, aka the "Brand Whisperer," with over 15 years of experience in the Creator Economy at companies like Patreon. Avi's deep understanding of creators and extensive partnerships experience, make him a powerhouse in the industry. As a former talent representative turned creator, Avi brings a unique perspective to this debate. He can also eat more Korean BBQ in one sitting than anyone in recent memory.  Phil Ranta, on the other hand, is a true pioneer of the digital media revolution. From his early days as a pre-YouTube web video producer to influential roles at Facebook and Mobcrush, Phil has been at the forefront of innovation in content creation. While his Korean BBQ consumption is less impressive than Avi’s, his impromptu stand-up routines level the playing field. Perhaps the most important fact about my two esteemed guests is that they’re both LinkedInfluencers (yes, that’s one word).   By the end of this episode, you’ll know: 1. The biggest benefits and drawbacks of creating evergreen vs. trending content2. How the type of content you create might affect your audience engagement3.

Get $400 off your early-bird ticket to Sponsor Games, my first in-person event to help you get more brand deals: https://www.sponsorgames.comToday we’re talking about the pros and cons of cohort-based vs. evergreen courses.Join the Creator Network today: https://creatornetwork.com Big thanks to ConvertKit for sponsoring this episode! Join Brand Deal Wizard to Access "After Dark" episodes & become a supporter of the podcast: https://www.creatorwizard.com/bdw-overviewFirst of all, what’s the difference?Well, a cohort-based course (often called a CBC) is usually a fixed period of time, 4 weeks, 6 weeks, 90 days - and you go through the program with a cohort of your peers. They’re taught a few times a year, I just finished up Cohort #10 of my Brand Deal Wizard program for example.However with evergreen (sometimes called on-demand) courses, students can enroll at any time. Typically you can binge all the course content like a Netflix show in as much or as little time as you want. And over the last year, I have experimented with converting my live cohort into an evergreen program.And boy oh boy, do I wish I could reach back in time to Justin from 12 months ago, place my hand on his shoulder and tell him the pros and cons of cohort-based vs evergreen courses.So by the end of this episode, you’ll know: 1. Whether a cohort-based or evergreen course is best for you and (more importantly) your audience/customer?2. How much potential money you can make on each format3.

Hire a team vs. stay solo? ft. Justin Welsh & Barrett Brooks

Hire a team vs. stay solo? ft. Justin Welsh & Barrett Brooks

Get $400 off your early-bird ticket to Sponsor Games, my first in-person event to help you get more brand deals: https://www.sponsorgames.comToday we’re talking about the pros and cons of building a team OR staying a solo creator. Join the Creator Network today: https://creatornetwork.com Big thanks to ConvertKit for sponsoring this episode! Join Brand Deal Wizard to Access "After Dark" episodes & become a supporter of the podcast: https://www.creatorwizard.com/bdw-overviewI’m gonna get real with you for a second: I have some psychological trauma around this topic because I ran an influencer marketing agency for 7 years, initially it was just me but as the business started growing and I started struggling to keep my head above water with the work, I did what I thought you were supposed to do - I hired an employee.That went well so I hired another, then another.  Fast forward 5 years and my payroll was almost $50,000/month. I know that seems like a lot but we were also making a lot of money, pulling down multi-six figure brand partnership contracts.But then, everything came crashing down in 2020 with the pandemic. I tried everything I could to save the company but it just wasn’t enough and I had to lay off all my employees. It was the absolute lowest point of my life emotionally and professionally. I spent several months in a really dark place.But then, thankfully, I emerged from those ashes and started Creator Wizard.   And it’s really starting to grow.  BUT now I have this crippling fear, that if I start hiring too many employees again, it’s all gonna come crumbling down like the agency.Even though I’m aware of this limiting belief, it’s super hard to not let the anxiety creep in, especially during fluctuations in revenue, month to month.And sometimes I wonder, do you really need to grow a team to build a successful creator business?  Is it possible to stay solo and still thrive? I’m honestly not sure which is why I asked two experts to settle this debate, once and for all. Barrett Brooks is a writer, coach, and previously the Chief Operating Officer at ConvertKit so you can say he knows a thing or two about building teams. Justin Welsh, on the other hand, runs a one-person business that teaches creators how to identify, develop, and monetize the skills they already have.   By the end of this episode, you’ll know: 1. When is the best time in your creator journey to make the decision to grow a team vs stay solo?2. The unexpected and surprising benefits to both3.

When we started in 2009, there was literally not a way to make money.There was no Adsense partner program and so by default, growing an audience was what everyone focused on.But things have changed dramatically over the last decade. It’s no longer as stigmatized to sell stuff way earlier in your creator journey like digital products, coaching, courses, and more.In fact, a lot of creators wanna jump straight to making money before they have much of an audience to speak of.  But is that a mistake?  Do they need to put in the reps first and establish a years-long connection with an audience before they “deserve” to sell products?  I’m honestly not sure which is why I asked two experts to settle this debate, once and for all. Alex Berman is the founder of Omni.us, a YouTuber, and the author of Cold Email Manifesto, which helps you learn how to contact anyone, make more sales, and take your company to the next level.  Roberto Blake, on the other hand, is a creative entrepreneur, YouTube Certified Educator, Keynote speaker and content creator with over 600,000 subscribers. He’s also the author of Create Something Awesome which explains how creators are profiting from their passion in the creator economy.  By the end of this episode, you’ll know: 1.

I had that fear, and so I started coaching people on their sponsorship strategy 1-1 before I launched my Brand Deal Wizard course.  And I was, in fact, able to hone my frameworks and get those early wins before I went big!But to be fair…it could be survivorship bias!  Who’s to say whether I wouldn’t have been just as successful had I NOT coached creators 1-1 first.There’s plenty of folks who have made hundreds of thousands of dollars launching a course and have never had a single Zoom call with a coaching client. So I’m honestly not sure if there is a right way and wrong way to approach this why I asked two experts to settle this debate, once and for all. Corey Wilks is a Psychologist and coach helping creators reach their potential and build thriving businesses.

Avoid THIS Mistake when Hiring Virtual Assistants (VAs)

Avoid THIS Mistake when Hiring Virtual Assistants (VAs)

Get $400 off your early-bird ticket to Sponsor Games, my first in-person event to help you get more brand deals: https://www.sponsorgames.comToday we’re talking about whether or not creators should hire Virtual Assistants, also known as VAs.Join the Creator Network today: https://creatornetwork.comBig thanks to ConvertKit for sponsoring this episode!Join Brand Deal Wizard to Access "After Dark" episodes & become a supporter of the podcast: https://www.creatorwizard.com/bdw-on-demand I’ve been a creator along with my wife April since 2009 and believe it or not, I didn’t hire my first VA until about 2 years ago.  It was something I went back and forth on for years and years and it’s honestly been a game-changer. But it hasn’t been without its challenges.  Mainly because I take a lot of pride in this business we’ve built and the thought of someone coming in and messing with that felt super scary!  Do I have to give them my passwords? Are they gonna see sensitive information? What if they steal my identity and siphon my bank accounts leaving me no choice but to start from zero and reinvent myself as a male model? I mean it wouldn’t be the worst thing… But anyway, in order to truly understand the Pros and Cons of hiring a VA, I asked two experts here today to settle this debate, once and for all. Yaro Starak is an entrepreneur, investor, and content creator who shares stories about how he’s used content to build audiences and income streams. He’s also the co-founder of InboxDone, an email and calendar assistant service to help busy professionals get back to what matters most. Full disclosure: I am a customer of InboxDone but Yaro had no editorial control over this episode and I will strive to be a completely impartial moderator.  That is, unless Yaro wants to back up a dump truck full of sponsorship dollars onto my driveway.Angelique Stidhum, on the other hand, has been in the marketing and branding space for well over a decade, serving celebrity clients and top brands such as Amazon, PENN/HEAD Tennis, Monster Audio, as well as E-com & Financial Investors. When I tweeted asking if anyone had horror stories about hiring a virtual assistant, Angelique said, “VA kept lying about hours, got caught, found a way in and DELETED the channel at 98k subs. True story.” MAJOR YIKES!  By the end of this episode, you’ll know: 1. Is hiring a virtual assistant really worth the trouble?2. Whether there are specific types of creators that are better suited than others for hiring VAs3.Who is a better Creator Debater: Yaro or Angelique?Who won this Creator Debate?

YouTube Expert ARGUES Titles Don’t Matter ft. Ed Lawrence (Film Booth) vs. Jake Thomas (Creator Hooks)

YouTube Expert ARGUES Titles Don’t Matter ft. Ed Lawrence (Film Booth) vs. Jake Thomas (Creator Hooks)

Get $400 off your early-bird ticket to Sponsor Games, my first in-person event to help you get more brand deals: https://www.sponsorgames.comToday we’re talking about YouTube Titles vs. Thumbnails.Join the Creator Network today: https://creatornetwork.comBig thanks to ConvertKit for sponsoring this episode!Join Brand Deal Wizard to Access "After Dark" episodes & become a supporter of the podcast: https://www.creatorwizard.com/bdw-on-demand You’re probably thinking this is stupid because you don’t have to just pick one on YouTube, you can do both. OK, did you not just hear the tagline of the podcast? It has the word stupid in it, which is why we take things to unnecessary extremes and maybe learn a thing or two along the way.So my wife April and I have had YouTube channels since 2009 and to be honest?I’ve always kind of sucked at “packaging” videos.See, Packaging is where you have a concept and you try convey the most interesting or surprising thing about the video using the title & thumbnail so that people will click.But that’s always felt kinda weird to me, like if the content is good enough, won’t people eventually find it and share it with their friends? That way I won’t even have to play that game.But then again, if I think about my own viewer behavior, I’m definitely drawn toward titles and thumbnails that have novelty.So is the answer just cranking up the saturation and tormenting Chat-GPT until it churns out algorithm-approved, character-optimized YouTube title poetry, likely pulverizing our last shred of humanity and creativity? Sorry. Honestly, before I get carried away we should probably bring in two experts to settle this debate, once and for all. Jake Thomas is the founder of Creator Hooks, a weekly newsletter to help you write better YouTube titles in just 5 minutes. I’m sincerely hoping that Jake’s Editor-in-Chief, Oliver will be accompanying him today because when you look up Oliver’s photo on the Creator Hooks website, it’s a photo of a dog.  Oliver is a dog.   Ed Lawrence, on the other hand, is the founder of Film Booth, where he helps YouTubers level up their YouTube content & strategy. He also has a program called Thumbnail University so if he doesn’t win this debate…awkward!   By the end of this episode, you’ll know: 1. Which is more important to the success of your YouTube videos: your Title or your thumbnail?2. When in the video creation process should you start thinking about the packaging?3.

Who knew writing a few words on a page prior to hitting record was so controversial?And I mean, I guess it makes sense, as creators, we wanna feel as though our authentic, straight-from-the-heart witty banter is why viewers keep coming back.I also saw a bunch of creators saying that reading off a script just makes you sound robotic but I have a little surprise for you, I’ve been reading this intro off a teleprompter the whole time, could you tell?But the question remains…is there a right way and a WRONG way - should you script it or wing it?So I asked two experts here today to settle this debate, once and for all. George Blackman is a consulting scriptwriter who has written for creators like Ali Abdaal, Ed from Film Booth, and…me. I consider him an expert on all things audience retention and scriptwriting. Milo AKA MrRoflWaffles, on the other hand, has been making gaming & lifestyle content since 2009, with over 1.8M YouTube subscribers, He’s passionate about the creator economy, brand-creator relations, esports and the potential/pitfalls of Web3.    By the end of this episode, you’ll know: 1.

Oh and this shirt? That’s so kind of you to say they’re FIRE. Well since you asked, you can click the link below to cop them. See what I just did there? I just seamlessly plugged my MERCH, which is one of first things most creators start selling after they wake up a few times in a cold sweat after having a nightmare about getting demonetized or shadow-banned. And, I mean hats & t-shirts are nice, but they kinda require you as the creator to keep making consistent content on a hamster wheel in order to keep plugging them and making money. Actually you know what? Selling physical products is kinda making me nauseous now… I think Digital products are for me! Yaaa, I’ll make an ebook, a course, some templates, I’ll make it once and sell it forever and I’m gonna print money! Inject those passive revenue streams into my veins!!! But wait, I almost forgot that launching my first course a few years back was absolutely terrifying and imposter-syndrome inducing and an absolute slog and was most certainly NOT passive income in any way shape or form.   OK I’m getting those cold sweats again.  Honestly, this is why I asked two experts here today to settle this debate, once and for all. Kevin Espiritu is the founder of Epic Gardening, which he started in 2010 when he was feeling lost and disconnected with the natural world. He started sharing his journey online and fast-forward to today and Kevin has grown his business into the world’s most-followed garden brand with tens of millions of followers across 100 countries. And get this - he recently made his first acquisition of a company called Botanical Interests which makes seeds – talk about SYNERGY. Y’all this dude is making MOVES. Sean Cannell, on the other hand, is a YouTuber, international speaker, coach, and the founder of Think Media which helps entrepreneurs build their influence and income with online video.  Sean’s YouTube channels have over 1,000,000 subscribers, his videos have been viewed over 100 million times and he has been featured in the “20 Must Watch YouTube Channels that Will Change your Business” by Forbes.  So you could say Sean knows a thing or two about making those sweet, sweet Internet dollars.  By the end of this episode, you’ll know: 1. How to make that initial decision of whether physical or digital products is right for you…2. How your niche or content vertical should impact your decision to launch one or the other…3.

It’s addictive to just keep swiping.Now, I’m someone who daily vlogged on YouTube for over 3 years and never missed an upload, these were 10-15 minute videos that took me hours to edit every single night for over 1000 days. So you would think I would be thrilled to jump on the short-form trend, that I would’ve been the first one to embrace it.I don’t have to keep learning all these new fancy editing tricks, heck I can just make my video 30 seconds long, then go lounge by a pool somewhere, right? But alas, I resisted doing any kind of short-form video for years, which was really stupid and short-sighted. But in my heart of hearts, I felt like long-form video is just how you truly connect with people, but I’ve come to believe, that’s also pretty short-sighted. And I’ll be honest, I kinda waffle back and forth every other day between the two…I just don’t know what I’m doing…Which is why I asked two experts here today to settle this debate, once and for all. Peter Hollens is a creator, investor, and advisor who is obsessed with helping creatives. He’s also an incredible singer and producer with more than 7+ million followers where his a capella videos have reached more than billion views since 2011, and has recently founded InHouse Creators getting creators placed with companies and getting PAID!Roberto Blake, on the other hand, is a creative entrepreneur, YouTube Certified Educator, Keynote speaker and content creator with over 550,000 subscribers.

Is Selling Sponsorships via CPM a Terrible Idea? ft. Danielle Desir Corbett vs. Adam McNeil

Is Selling Sponsorships via CPM a Terrible Idea? ft. Danielle Desir Corbett vs. Adam McNeil

Get $400 off your early-bird ticket to Sponsor Games, my first in-person event to help you get more brand deals: https://www.sponsorgames.comToday we’re talking about Podcast sponsorships and the pros and cons of getting paid via CPM or flat compensation.Get $50 off your Craft + Commerce ticket: https://conference.convertkit.comBig thanks to ConvertKit for sponsoring this episode!First of all, what the heck is CPM? Well it stands for cost per mille, meaning a set rate per 1000 downloads. And these days, a lot of brands might try to pay around $25-$30 CPM for a 60-second promo. So if you get 1,000 downloads per episode, you can maaaaaaybe buy a medium pepperoni pizza. You might be thinking Justin, ”I can easily find a pizza joint where I can get a large for less than $20.” I’m not talking about your local spot with 3.5 Yelp stars, I’m talking about 5/5 quality pie.Anyways, CPM maaaybe not ideal BUT on the other hand, if your podcast starts consistently getting lots of downloads and more importantly *results* for the right brands, maybe it makes sense.But then again, as an aspiring podcaster myself, I am more than my numbers. I can help brands in lots of other ways! My alumni and coaching students have told me that one of their favorite Justin-isms is that “you’re not just a creator, you’re a consultant” who can help brands accomplish much more ambitious things. And for THAT kinda work, I’m gonna need to be slid some guaranteed green, ya feel me?But honestly…I’m, still pretty confused about what my podcast sponsorship strategy should be.So, that’s why I asked two experts here today to settle this debate, once and for all. Adam McNeil, is the host of The Brewview, a weekly podcast all about coffee, kendama, and culture but he’s also the VP of Marketing at Adopter Media, A Podcast Advertising agency that works with brands like Magic Spoon, Lomi, and ChiliSleep to name a few.  Danielle Desir Corbett, on the other hand, is the host of The Thought Card Podcast, Founder of Women of Color Podcasters community, and she’s also a Podcast Marketing Coach, helping overworked podcasters grow their audiences, improve their visibility, and make more money. By the end of this episode, you’ll know: 1. Whether there are advantages to adopting different sponsorship pricing structures during different chapters of your creator journey2. How to more clearly articulate your value to brands and agencies at the negotiating table3. Who is a better Creator Debater: Adam or Danielle?Who won this Creator Debate?

Will Creators FAIL Without a Manager? ft. Kevin Herrera vs. Justin Moore

Get $400 off your early-bird ticket to Sponsor Games, my first in-person event to help you get more brand deals: https://www.sponsorgames.comGet $50 off your Craft + Commerce ticket: https://conference.convertkit.comBig thanks to ConvertKit for sponsoring this episode!Today we’re talking about whether or not you need a manager as a creator.  See when you start publishing content on the Internet, the “business side of it” is usually the last thing on your mind, right?You just wanna focus on making cool stuff, come on!But then maybe you start making a little bit of money, maybe your schedule starts getting really hectic, maybe you start dreaming of more ambitious projects that you’re not really sure how to pull of.And so this idea starts creeping into your mind, maybe I should hire someone to help me.  Then all of a sudden, like a bolt of lightning, you think, “I’ve got it! I’ll hire a manager!” But wait a minute, what does a manager do? Could they get me paid sponsorships? Could they respond to emails for me? When I have a craving for Sprinkles cupcakes at 3am on a Wednesday could they go pick it up for me at the cupcake ATM?  These are important questions, right?So in order to figure out what the heck a manager really is and whether they’re awesome or terrible, I had to ask an expert here to settle this debate, once and for all. Kevin Herrera, is the Co-Founder and CEO of theMachine, which provides full-service sponsorship operations & management for the creator economy. Kevin also spent many years as an agent at the Gersh Agency so he knows a thing or two about working with talent and what makes this industry tick. But in the other corner, we have ME, Justin Moore, Sponsorship Coach, who has very vocally chosen NOT to be a manager or have a roster and instead educate creators around sponsorship strategy so they can take control of their own destinies.And because moderating AND competing in a debate would be super unfair (even though it’s my podcast I can make up the rules - IM NOT GUNNA DO IT THOUGH), I asked Dee Brissett, our very own Community & Programs Manager here at Creator Wizard, to take over today as the referee. By the end of this episode, you’ll know: 1. When is the right time to start thinking about hiring a manager (or if you even need one at all)?2. What qualities and skills to look for in a manager?3.

Get $400 off your early-bird ticket to Sponsor Games, my first in-person event to help you get more brand deals: https://www.sponsorgames.comGet $50 off your Craft + Commerce ticket: https://conference.convertkit.comBig thanks to ConvertKit for sponsoring this episode!Today we’re talking about YouTube vs. TikTok. Every single creator I talk to seems to be very polarized on this topic. Ask an OG YouTuber who’s used to spending hours filming and editing, uploading one video a week, one video every few weeks - they’ll tell you that TikTok is for dancing and lip-syncing and it’s not really their “thing.”But ask a TikToker who started posting 3 videos a day during the pandemic, some growing massive audiences seemingly overnight, and they’ll say, “YouTube scares me plus people don’t want all that fancy polished editing anymore, it’s all about authenticity.”Now obviously, many creators have presences on both platforms, heck I do, but we’re not here to make lame compromises. We’re here to pick sides and take a stance.Because I need to know - if I only had time to focus on one to grow my creator business - is it YouTube or TikTok? So, that’s why I asked two experts here today to settle the debate, once and for all. Thomas Frank is a video creator and writer with a focus on productivity, learning, and personal development who has built not one, but two massive YouTube channels. Most recently he’s become a Notion power user, creating tutorials and Notion templates that are generating $120K a month.John Hu, on the other hand, is a TikTokker who has raised $5M for his business Stan, an all-in-one tool empowering creators to become entrepreneurs. John has used TikTok masterfully to not only build his personal brand but spread awareness for his startup. By the end of this episode, you’ll know: 1. Whether certain types of creators or businesses are better suited to grow on YouTube or TikTok 2. Whether you should double down on one or the other to make more money3.

Do Creators HAVE to go Full-Time to Succeed? ft. Cody Jay vs. Jessica Williams

Do Creators HAVE to go Full-Time to Succeed? ft. Cody Jay vs. Jessica Williams

Get $400 off your early-bird ticket to Sponsor Games, my first in-person event to help you get more brand deals: https://www.sponsorgames.comCheck out the 30-Day Grow Your Audience Challenge: https://convertk.it/GYABig thanks to ConvertKit for sponsoring this episode!Today we’re talking about the Pros & Cons of being a Full-time vs. Side Hustle Creator. When my wife April and I started on YouTube back in 2009, being a Full-time Creator was not really a “thing.” By default it was a side-hustle, in fact, you couldn’t even make money on YouTube back then… there was no Partner Program.  I was working in medical devices, April was a pre school teacher and we were making YouTube videos on the side for fun.  I actually looked it up and our very first Adsense check was for $130.06 and we were STOKED!  That paid for our electric bill in our little tiny studio apartment. And it wasn’t for *many years* that we even entertained the idea of quitting our 9-5 jobs and just doing social media full-time. I think part of it was we really didn’t know anyone else who had ever done that.  But as the momentum started to build and we started making more and more money, we sat down and had a long hard discussion about the opportunity cost.  What if we could spend 60 hours a week focused on growing our online business instead of being stuck at our day jobs? So, April took the plunge first, she quit her job in 2012, and I kept my job, kept my salary, which critically came with health benefits.  And then I didn’t quit my job until 2014 which was 6 weeks after my first son Liam was born.  And lemme tell you, it was a really scary decision.  Not only did basically everyone in our lives think we were absolutely NUTS, but now we no longer had the safety net of a steady paycheck where we knew predictably every month how much we would make.  Fast-forward to today and my wife and I have been full-time creators for over 8 years and we have seen it all, just a ton of ups and downs, huge changes in our different revenue streams…it’s not for the faint of heart. And you know what? I bet you, dear creator listening and/or watching right now might have struggled with this decision at some point as well.  Maybe you’re still struggling with the Pros and Cons? So, that’s why I asked Cody Jay and Jessica Williams to join me today to talk all this through.  Cody has been a full-time creator & pro make-up artist for over 3 years, he’s got hundreds of thousands of followers, and even coaches other creators how to grow their businesses. And Jessica, on the other hand, has been side-hustling for 6 years, growing a newsletter, juggling it all while caregiving. She even calls herself a Side Hustle Cheerleader in her Twitter headline so you know this is gonna be good. By the end of this episode, you’ll know: 1. The key questions you need to ask yourself to determine whether being a full-time or side-hustle creator is right for you2. How your decision might impact your creativity AND your income 3.

Twitter or Instagram: Where Should Creators Focus for Money & Growth? ft. Alex Llull & Steph Taylor

Twitter or Instagram: Where Should Creators Focus for Money & Growth? ft. Alex Llull & Steph Taylor

Get $400 off your early-bird ticket to Sponsor Games, my first in-person event to help you get more brand deals: https://www.sponsorgames.comCheck out the 30-Day Grow Your Audience Challenge: https://convertk.it/GYABig thanks to ConvertKit for sponsoring this episode!Today we’re talking about Twitter vs. Instagram when it comes to growing a business as a creator.I first joined Twitter and Instagram in 2012 but I gotta admit something pretty embarrassing. I used both of them almost every day but I was a consumer of content, not a producer.  Sure, I would post here and there, but I did not have a content strategy.  So in October 2020, when I was trying to get Creator Wizard off the ground, I decided to make a change.  I hired a random dude from Twitter and gave him a singular mission, “make me known as The Sponsorships Guy on social media.”So we made a plan - full court press on content about finding & negotiating brand partnerships, posting multiple times a day.And things were VERY rocky at first. Many, many times, we’d spend hours crafting Twitter threads only for them to get basically no engagement.  We’d curate pixel-perfect pics on Instagram with super long, tactical captions thinking we were building deeper connections.  And honestly? I started getting a little discouraged.  But then, slowly but surely people started responding.  They’d start DMing me asking for help with brand deal negotiations. They’d ask me how much I thought they should charge on complex deals. Then someone asked me *gasp* if I did 1-1 coaching, or if I had a course, what the heck?!And none of this would have ever happened had I not decided to use Twitter and Instagram to grow my creator business.But we all know there’s only so many hours in the day so if you had to pick one of them…which one is better?  So, that’s why I asked two experts here today to settle the debate, once and for all. Steph Taylor, is an online business strategist, host of the Imperfect Action podcast, and has grown her Instagram from ZERO to 31K by helping others build an online business that’s profitable even when you’re offline. Alex Llull, on the other hand, is a social media consultant, content creator, and writer who grew his Twitter from ZERO to 31K by teaching solopreneurs how to leverage social media content so they can grow their brand, audience, or business. Oh, and remember how I mentioned I hired a dude to help me become known as the Sponsorships Guy on social media? Ya…that was Alex.   By the end of this episode, you’ll know: 1. Whether certain types of creators are better suited to grow on Twitter or Instagram 2. Whether you should double down on one or the other to make more money3.
