Last night I listened to the episode of Advertising Is Dead by @varunduggi with @viraj_sheth on "Growing the Influencer Economy"

▶ Here is a summary and big lessons:

Thread 🧵
It is completely okay to start a company after graduation from college.

• Learn from available resources, the conversation of people who have done something in your space.

And it helps if you have a good senior and cofounder like 🙃 @BeerBicepsGuy
• For any content creator, figuring out different sources of monetization is important.

How Monk Entertainment @MonkEtweets help creators?

1. Creator monetization - Figuring out different revenue sources for creators
2. Public relations - Covering stories in print and crisis management.

3. Collaboration - Collaborating with other creators and backend support with social media platforms.
• After Tik-Tok ban content creators realized, they can't be just on one platform

For content creators -

To be less vulnerable, distribution across multi-channels is important. Because creators don't own social media platforms.
◼️ 1000 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁

- Instead of just building an audience horizontally, dig deeper and build loyal 1000 superfans.

Why? 🤔

- These 1000 superfans will just not be there for your content. They will be there for you as a creator.

- Helpful in long term
• From public platforms to building a super intimate community is the end goal.

• Viraj Seth's learnings from Engineering

• Last-minute Jugaad
• Troubleshooting
• Managing multiple tasks at the same time
• Advice to creators

1. Need to be video first
2. You need to be a complete creator - Writing, editing, and uploading content
3. Don't be money-minded
Insight: ( Tanmay Bhat) - If someone asks you

• What would you do for no money?

- And if your answer to that question is "Creator - Creating Content", then you are a true creator.
◼️ Creator/ Influencer Economy

Why it will not die?

• Decentralisation is a future

• Creator ecosystem is here to stay - distribution is important

(Cont)
• People don't want to go to the monopolistic nature of the creative industry - Where only a bunch of people was controlling what you consume

• People want to consume different types of content - Demand is there, Supply is 'Creators'
• Recommendations
