We felt confident in the move. If you are a creator, expert, or any type of community leader and want to test the platform out, which is free to use, feel free to check it out - if you get an idea on how to improve, DM us!

A thread on our startup journey 2021 - 2022 Hint: Pivot + long thread😅 We raised a pre-seed with a group of great investors. Built our video platform for creator & fan interaction as where creators could monetize on these calls. So how did it go?🤔

@gracesbookshelf @4theloveofSimon Hi @gracesbookshelf would you be up to test our community platform for free? :) We are doing some user research, and it would be super interesting to hear your thoughts about it as you are using Discord :)

@4theloveofSimon i've created a discord for it so you can read at you own pace !! discord.gg/nhftVwEFHY

WE NEED A TWT BOOKCLUB WHERE WE ALL ARE IN A GROUPCHAT AND PICK A BOOK TO READ PER MONTH OMG

@gracesbookshelf @4theloveofSimon Hi @gracesbookshelf would you be up to test our community platform for free? :) We are doing some user research, and it would be super interesting to hear your thoughts about it as you are using Discord :)

@MobleyintheMix Send us a DM if you would like to set up an online book community might be something for the gen-z kids :)

Oh wow. This made me feel much better. Thanks for all of the advice and support 💚💚💚 I’m definitely not giving up! #firstyearlibrarian

Nobody came to book club this morning. Excuse me while I go cry. 😭

@ashleymayer We kept a super low profile in the beginning as we did not feel 100% confident without 100% PMF - but now we are slowly getting out there👀

I often talk to founders who keep a low profile because they’re worried about hyping their startup too soon. I get it! Good news: hyping the problem/opportunity/category (by explaining it to the world) is always way more interesting and effective than hyping a nascent product.

@em203awickens Hi Ally! Would you be up to set up a study community for you and your mates? :)

A solution to keeping children engaged with online learning is breakout rooms! These allow for the children to talk to each other and may make them ore comfortable asking their piers questions about what they are having trouble with!!

@join2manish True! We pivoted when we started to talk to creators & fans. Having creators & fans in the product development process have been 🔑 for us!

Talk to a lot of creators before building A lot of creator economy startups are being built just by reading research papers, reports, predictions They are either ahead of time (at least in the Indian context) or are not at all needed Many are assuming and trying to force-fit

Great presentation today from @joakimdal + team from @GPBullhound about their technology predictions for 2022. Exciting to see the #creatoreconomy being one of their top picks!

@RaynRaps Looking forward to it 😎

I will begin hosting Twitter spaces twice week- 💥 They will be focused on trending news in content creation / gaming world 💥Monetization strategies for content creators 💥Audience retention strategies 💥Q/A from yall about anything

@0rlandiviris @YouTube Hi @0rlandiviris! Send us a DM if you want to get early access to our creator community platform! Would be interesting to hear your thoughts about it. Free to use and up to you if you want to set up a paid / free community.

Hey @YouTube, quick question. How do I, a small creator that is not qualified to get monetization on his channel according to your own rules, getting adds from 10 to 15secs long in my 2 and a half minutes song?

@robertoblake If you would like to get early access to our creator community platform - which of course is free send us a DM :)

@robertoblake Congrats @robertoblake! Feels like quite a hassle for you as a creator What is your take on owning your audience vs. renting them from platforms such as YouTube? 🧐 Saw several people in the comment field wanting to get a closer connection with you - get coached, etc.

Going LIVE with the PODCAST at 830PM ET to talk about YouTube Monetization! youtu.be/cjTnO_nyvhk The podcast just got approved and we are going to talk about the Adsense Monetization Application process, and some other things you need to know about! #YouTube #Podcast

@DineroPodcast 1+ on this! We started a community platform for creators/ entrepreneurs tired of renting out their audiences to reach platforms :)

A membership program lets clients sign up for ongoing access to a particular offering on a membership site. Here, you can deliver content, build a community, or offer consulting services for a monthly recurring fee.

One mistake I see new entrepreneurs make is not creating a recurring income stream as part of their monetization strategy. You have to have a reliable baseline of revenue if you want to stop stressing about paying your bills every month. Here are some examples:

@EM203_HYOKICH Hi Hanna! We are doing some user testing right now of our community platform and if you would be up for creating an online community let us know!

Students can create online study groups with friends to build themselves an online community, and hopefully help them feel less isolated!

@bbourque Thanks, @bbourque - now I have some readings for the weekend!😎

Startups are HARD. But you can reduce mistakes by learning from the best. 10 threads to 10x your startup progress:

@robertoblake Hopefully see you at Vidsummit!

Events I will be attending this year: - Creator Economy Expo - Podfest - ClamourCon - VidCon - VidSummit - People of Video Those are the main events I know I am likely doing this year. Hoping to see some of you!
