If the word “website” makes you want to crawl under your desk and never come out, this episode is for you.Because apparently, you do not need a giant, expensive, perfectly designed website to start building your business online. You just need somewhere on the internet that you actually own.In this episode, I'm chatting with my friend Andrea, owner and lead designer of Merveille Creative Studios, about websites, SEO, branding, and what creators actually need when they're building a business.And honestly? We are making websites feel way less overwhelming.If you're a travel content creator, UGC creator, influencer, or creator who wants to work with brands, tourism boards, and businesses, this episode is packed with practical advice for building an online presence that makes you look legit — without spending your entire life trying to figure out your website.In this episode, we talk about:Why you should stop relying entirely on Instagram and social media to house your businessWhy a simple landing page is better than nothingWhy you should have your own domain instead of relying on platforms like Linktree or hosted landing pagesWhat your website actually needs if you're just getting startedWhen it's time to graduate from a landing page to a full websiteThe essential pages every creator website should haveWhy your UGC portfolio should NOT live on CanvaHow your website can help you get discovered through SEOWhy having a website can help creators look more legitimate to brands and tourism boardsWebsite platforms including Squarespace, Wix, Showit, and WordPressWhy Andrea personally prefers WordPress for SEO and customizationThe difference between easy-to-use website platforms and platforms that give you more flexibilityWhy website speed matters for SEOHow to check your website speed with Google PageSpeed InsightsThe biggest website mistake creators make in their hero sectionWhy you need to tell people who you are and what you do immediatelyHow to use analytics to understand who's actually visiting your websiteWhy you should have an email opt-in on your websiteWhat platform you should use if you're selling digital products vs. physical productsHow your website can become a home base for your travel content creation business

Miles Sellyn is VP of Partnerships at Rare Days, a company that builds software with creators including Colin and Samir, Cody Sanchez, and Rhett and Link. His argument is simple: 95% of creator businesses are advertising companies, selling other people's products with no long term upside, when the same audience and the same distribution could be pointed at something they actually own.In this episode, Miles is direct about what has changed and what hasn't. The cost of building a real consumer app has fallen from millions to a few hundred thousand, which changes the maths entirely for a creator who needs a million dollar business rather than a fifty million dollar one. But he's blunt about the vibe coding narrative and about the reputational risk of shipping something mediocre to an audience that trusts you. Plus why audience and customer are not the same thing, and the operational problem nobody plans for when 8,500 people can suddenly raise a support ticket.A practical case for adding software to the revenue stack, and an honest account of what it takes to do it without embarrassing yourself.Topics covered: creator software and digital products · why brand deals don't build enterprise value · AI and the cost of building apps · finding the right product for your niche · pricing and validation · email lists as launch infrastructure · MVPs with off the shelf tools · knowing when to get help

Zoe Soon moved from Sydney to New York on the back of a thirty minute coffee she flew twenty one hours for. When we recorded with her, Zoe led Creator and Gaming at the IAB, the body that standardised digital advertising back when the industry needed agreed ad sizes so brands could buy across the web without rebuilding every unit. She's doing the same job again, this time for creator brand deals.In this episode, Zoe explains why $44 billion of creator ad spend is what she calls a gut feeling: brands know it works, but they can't compare it to anything else, so it stays stuck in the innovation budget instead of the media plan. We cover why a company like Unilever can do a deal with one huge creator but not a thousand small ones, why creators wait an average of 120 days to get paid and where in the chain that money sits, and why brands are increasingly paying only on direct conversions even though creators do most of the work before the sale. She's also good on what brands are actually buying, which is belonging rather than reach, with the Cerave Super Bowl campaign as the case study. Plus the confidence gap in gaming (90% of Gen Z play, under 5% of ad budget goes there), what the new Creator Fronts are designed to do, and her three things every creator should be building right now.A clear explanation of the plumbing that decides how much brand money reaches you, from the person building it.Topics covered: creator ad spend and measurement · why brand budgets stay stuck · payment terms and the supply chain · reach vs belonging · conversion-only deals · gaming and ad investment · Creator Fronts · thinking like a media company

Mike Boyd runs the music department at VaynerX, the agency he helped start with Gary Vaynerchuk when it had eight people. He decides which artists get brand money, and he once signed a country artist with 300 monthly listeners on Spotify. In this episode, he explains what he actually looks for, why content often matters more than streams, and why most independent artists rule themselves out too early. We also cover local brand partnerships, free gear, why niche artists are becoming more valuable than famous ones, and what separates an artist from an artist brand.Timestamps:(00:00) Intro(01:04) Who Mike Boyd is and what VaynerX does(03:10) Sitting on the side that decides(04:35) The artist with 300 monthly listeners(05:57) What brands look for beyond streams(07:41) Budgets from 5,000 to 5 million(08:02) Content versus music(09:55) Why post about things unrelated to your music(12:01) Being liked before being heard(14:06) The biggest misconception about brand deals(16:53) Small brands and local partnerships(18:25) Free gear and knowing your value(21:54) Why niche beats famous(24:32) Why dance music is missing this(26:22) NFTs, utility, and what survived(29:44) What separates an artist from an artist brand(34:00) A question for the next guest(37:04) Posting for free is not a mistake(38:30) Choosing the right platform

Rainy Monday on the Gold Coast, hunkered in, and I've got something I really want to open your eyes to

Mike Boyd runs music at VaynerX, Gary Vaynerchuk's ad agency, and one of the artists his team got paid had 300 monthly listeners on Spotify at the time.In this episode, Mike breaks down why he never looks at an artist's streaming numbers before choosing them, what brands check instead, the multiple handle strategy his team uses to make an artist findable to the right brand, why the followers of an emerging artist are worth MORE to a brand than the followers of a star, what these deals actually pay from four figures to seven, how usage rights and exclusivity work inside the contract, the one-sentence email that gets a reply, and reveals the platform almost no independent artist is using (but should be).Mike Boyd Jr:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mikeboydjrLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikeboydjrEverything OMT:Website: https://onemoretime.fm/podYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@onemoretimefmInstagram: https://instagram.com/onemoretime.fmTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@onemoretime.fmThe Blue Room: https://discord.com/invite/rTAYsPcyEYApply to be on the show:https://onemoretime.fm/guestWork with us:https://onemoretime.fm/work-with-usBusiness inquiries:team@onemoretime.fm30% off DistroKid:https://omtdistro.comMerch:https://onemoretime.fm/shop

Devin McGovern spent over a decade producing reality TV, wrapped a show in October 2024, and never got another call. Hundreds of job applications later, not one interview. In his mid forties with two kids, the creator economy wasn't a bold pivot so much as the only place money was moving.In this episode, Devin is candid about the content that flopped first, the disastrous family dinner that led to a video hitting 8 million views in two days, and the money: zero to over $10k a month in brand deals in eighteen months, the one question he asks every inbound brand, and the thirty hour TikTok blackout that made him realise he owned none of it.Topics covered: career pivots from traditional media · transferable production skills · finding your niche · brand deal negotiation · rented vs owned audience · newsletters · treating creating as a business

Every episode is someone's first episode, and that changes everything about how you should structure your show. I break down the essentials of episode architecture: what a master intro is and why you need one, why pre-recording multiple outros will save you in a pinch, and how to build an audiogram that hooks listeners in the first 30 seconds. I walk through the ideal flow for your episodes, why asking for ratings and reviews in your outro matters more than you think (plus a real client example that worked), and why you don't need sponsors on day one to have something valuable to offer your audience. I also cover the difference between pre-roll and mid-roll ads, a smarter way to pitch sponsors, and why recording your intros and offers on video gives you reusable content for your PR package down the road.Key TopicsWhat a master intro is and why every show needs oneWhy you should pre-record several outro optionsBuilding an audiogram that hooks listeners in 30 secondsStructuring your episode flow for first-time listenersAsking for ratings and reviews the right way (with a client example)Why you have something to offer even without sponsorsA smarter strategy for pitching sponsors and landing brand dealsRecording intros, outros, and offers on video for future PR usePre-roll vs. mid-roll ads: where to place your offersLet's Connect!Book Your Podcast Consultation Today: https://www.pivotballchange.com/servicesLaunch Your Podcast with Pivot Ball Change: https://www.pivotballchange.com/servicesFollow Pivot Ball Change on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pivotballchange/Visit Pivot Ball Change's Website: https://www.pivotballchange.com/Riverside: https://riverside.sjv.io/c/6950782/2183832/28064

Jayo has more than 60 million streams on Spotify and Apple Music alone, sold-out shows, a publishing deal and a debut album, and he still makes more money from content and brand deals than he does from music.In this episode, Jayo breaks down the content engine behind all of it: running several series at once so that one of them can break, the guacamole song he DM'd to Chipotle himself and what it ended up costing him, how brand ad budgets actually work and the one number every artist should be asking for, and Need It / Got It, the system living in his comment section that moves his tickets.Jayo:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@jayoInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jayoTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jayoSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1kBx4RzRD8An5pUEDBGZQ9Everything OMT:Website: https://onemoretime.fm/podYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@onemoretimefmInstagram: https://instagram.com/onemoretime.fmTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@onemoretime.fmThe Blue Room: https://discord.com/invite/rTAYsPcyEYApply to be on the show:https://onemoretime.fm/guestWork with us:https://onemoretime.fm/work-with-usBusiness inquiries:team@onemoretime.fm30% off DistroKid:https://omtdistro.com50% off your first month of ManyChat Pro:https://onemoretime.fm/manychatMerch:https://onemoretime.fm/shop

Rebecca Rechtszaid is a Harvard Law grad and former lead counsel for partnerships at Meta who now represents creators through her own firm. Her core message: if you're a creator, you're running an IP business whether you realise it or not, and most people only figure that out at the worst possible moment.In this episode, Rebecca breaks down the mistakes she sees over and over, from creators treating brand deals as gifts to co-creators with no paperwork discovering the camera operator legally owns the footage. We cover what the creator economy can learn from music (handshake deals, Lennon and McCartney, Prince's fight for his masters), why AI is making everything scarier (she reads TikTok's terms of service line by line), and the first legal moves every serious creator should make right now.An honest, occasionally alarming, and very practical guide to protecting the business you may not know you already have.Topics covered: creators as IP businesses · chain of title · lessons from music · AI clauses and likeness rights · trademarks · first legal steps for creators

Okay. Listen.If you've been spending hours trying to create the perfect Reel while completely ignoring your Instagram Stories... we need to have a chat.In this episode, I'm sitting in the trunk of my car (yes, really) while Alyssa records from what sounds like an actual cave.

Now what did you think about what I said in this week's episode...Welcome to this week's Blonde Intelligence. I am your host, Ms. Roni, and I always seek to give you exquisite cranial repertoire. A Fruity Pebble cake pop should be harmless, but the internet proved otherwise. I'm unpacking the “cake pop lady” drama where a big creator with a copyrighted cookbook and brand endorsements went after a newer baker, accused her of stealing a recipe, and set off a wave of online harassment that quickly turned into real business consequences.We talk through the messy middle: what people misunderstand about recipe copyright versus copyrighting a cookbook, why box mix upgrades and ingredient swaps make recipe ownership a shaky claim, and how contradictory statements and aggressive language can turn a brand dispute into a reputational crisis. When endorsements get pulled and merch sales take a hit, the apology shows up and it forces the question you're probably already asking: is it sincere, or is it only regret because the money changed?Then I widen the lens to small business growth and reputation management. Collaborations can be quiet but lucrative, and long-term wins rarely look like instant results. If your character behind the scenes is ugly, it will eventually show up in your bottom line, whether you sell cake pops, content, or anything else. If this conversation hits home, subscribe, share the episode with a friend who runs a business, and leave a review telling me what you think makes an apology believable.Support the show

Escape to Elevate retreat in Italy October 2026 www.escapetoelevate.com Jamie's Instagram program: risesocialacademy.com Jamie's monthly Instagram content membership for hairstylists: thesocialsuite.com Connect with Jodie on Instagram: @itsjodiebrownThis week on Hairstylist Rising, I'm re-sharing one of the most loved episodes of the show with the incredible Jamie Dana. Jamie has been in the beauty industry for 13 years and has done almost every role you can imagine, from receptionist and assistant to commission stylist, suite owner, salon owner, independent educator, and brand collaborator. She is also one of the original online educators in the hair industry and the woman behind the Framar Jamie Dana collection, which became the biggest single day of sales in Framar's history.In this conversation, Jamie shares the early years that shaped how she built her business. She talks about being homeschooled, getting bullied in beauty school, working under the table at her first salon, and trying to build a clientele with Groupons before Instagram existed. She shares the exact moment Instagram changed everything for her, going from barely booked to fully booked three months in advance and raising her prices, all within six months.We get into what it actually looks like to step into online education for hairstylists. Jamie talks about launching her first online course, originally called O'HotGraham, which she had to rename to Rise Social Academy after a legal threat from Instagram, and how she eventually walked away from a six figure clientele to go all in on teaching. She also breaks down how she grew her YouTube channel by studying the algorithm for six months before posting a single video, and why the long form video space in the hair industry is still wide open today.Then we go behind the scenes of the Framar collaboration. Jamie pitched the entire collection herself, including the documentary series that brought stylists along for the ride. She shares what really happened during that year and a half process, the tears, the moments off camera, and the launch strategy that turned it into the biggest sales day in the brand's history.We also dig into something every creative needs to hear. How do you know which ideas to pursue and which to put on the back burner? Jamie shares her three year rule for evaluating projects, why the takeoff phase of any new venture takes more energy than you expect, and how to keep moving forward through imposter syndrome at every level of your career.Whether you are a new stylist building your clientele, a seasoned pro thinking about education, or a creative weighing up your next big move, this episode is a real look at what is possible in the beauty industry today.Jamie will be joining us as a guest educator at Escape to Elevate, our branding, marketing, and content creation retreat in the Italian countryside this October 2026.

In the dotcom era, communication professor Angèle Christin embedded herself in newsrooms, where she witnessed how audience metrics tilted journalism toward viral content over in-depth reporting. Christin now researches the influencer economy and how content creators monetize their production by any of three means – brand sponsorships, engagement-based payments from social media platforms, and direct-to-audience subscriptions, donations, or sales. She says this engagement-based ecosystem steers communication toward what captures attention, not always what best informs. To improve our reeling national dialogue, we must first change the financial model of social media content, Christin tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.

You got the inquiry. Now what? Whether it lands in your inbox from a bride-to-be, a corporate event planner, or a brand partnership manager, how you respond to that very first message can make or break the sale. In this quick but packed episode, Quynh, Jessie, and Sara break down their real-world strategies for handling three types of client inquiries: bridal, corporate, and brand collaborations. “I try to be as upfront as possible so there are no surprises on both ends. I do not want to be emailing back and forth until I realize I am completely out of their budget.” — Sara From what to include on your inquiry form and when to talk about pricing, to why you should never make free samples and how to present a media kit that lands the deal, the hosts share the frameworks they have built through years of running their own paper flower businesses. “If you cannot do the job, have a list of your maker friends that can. If you refer someone, they can refer you back. It is a two-way street.”- Quynh If you have ever felt nervous about quoting your prices or unsure how to follow up with a potential client, this episode will give you the confidence and the structure to respond like a pro. What You'll Hear in this Episode: What to include on your website inquiry form to filter serious clients Why response time matters and how it builds trust before the first project even starts When to bring up pricing and the reason for being upfront from the very first email How to use a price sheet to set expectations and protect your time Why you should never create free samples and how to handle sample requests The importance of contracts: deposits, delivery details, and final payment timelines How corporate inquiries differ from bridal work and why turnaround time changes everything Building a referral network and what to do when you cannot take the job How to create and use a media kit for brand collaborations Knowing your numbers and staying confident during negotiations Being flexible with packages without undervaluing your work Unique brand collaboration opportunities beyond physical flower commissions The Best Thing We Bought that Bring Us Joy Quynh: Antique flower frogs Jessie: Floral Genius Hairpin Frogs Sara: Flower frog using air dry clay Paper Talk is supported by our community of readers and listeners.

My personal brand has been making money for me for YEARS. This wasn't an accident; this was completely by design. Ok, maybe a little bit of it was accidental, but we learn, grow, and study what works so that we can replicate it. And a little help from a coach or a mentor never hurts.    I had no idea how much money I could make from brand deals and paid collaborations. I thought, like everyone else at the time, that you had to have millions of dollars to ever see a brand deal contract. But that couldn't be farther from the truth.    You don't need a million followers to get brand deals. You don't even need 100k followers to get brand deals. What you need is trust, and if you can build that trust with your followers, you can make a lot of money.    In this week's episode, we're going behind the scenes of how I landed brand deals and paid collaborations. Before I was an influencer, I was just sharing what I thought was valuable life advice to my audience. Now I know that I was a micro influencer in the making with a ton of opportunities coming my way. And now that I've figured out what works and what doesn't, I'm going to share how you can land those same brand deals with under 2k followers as a micro influencer.  How to work with Erika: Attract 7+ Paid Opportunities Through Your Personal Brand — Without Being Salesy with the free Magnetic CEO Method | Monday, May 4th, 5:00 PM - 6:30 PM PT Claim your limited-time-only spot in Erika's 90-Min one-on-one Personal Branding Intensive  Join the waitlist for the Courage Driven Latina program here!

This week, Jason is joined by Jon Bouffard — creator, entrepreneur, and one half of one of the most recognizable couples brands on the internet — for a conversation on what it really takes to build a business from nothing and scale it into a multi-six-figure operation.Jon shares the unconventional path that led him here — from making $15/hour across a series of jobs, including teaching, working at Wells Fargo under a fake name, and serving as a vocational counselor, to eventually pivoting into occupational therapy where he capped out financially and began searching for something more.Everything changed when he partnered with his now wife, Alex, stepping into the world of wedding videography. What started as a creative side hustle quickly grew into a full-time business, scaling from $3K to $10K per wedding — but also came with burnout, long hours, and limited upside.Jon breaks down the turning point — when brand deals began replacing wedding income, allowing them to shift fully into content creation. He explains how their business evolved into a six-figure-per-deal model, what brands are really paying for, and why consistency and relatability have been the foundation of their success.He also opens up about the realities behind the scenes — the pressure to constantly create, the mental toll of staying relevant, and the discipline required to keep showing up even when you don't feel like it.Beyond the business, Jon shares insight into how he and Alex divide responsibilities, manage finances, and maintain a strong partnership while building together — including why they prioritize simplicity, avoid unnecessary spending, and focus on long-term stability over short-term flash.The conversation also dives into bigger-picture topics — from the future of the creator economy to the challenges of transitioning into traditional media, and the importance of protecting your personal life in an increasingly public world.From $15/hour jobs to building a scalable digital business, Jon gives a raw and honest look at what it takes to bet on yourself, stay consistent, and turn creativity into a career.Jon reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can't afford to miss!Subscribe to the Trading Secrets podcast!Host: Jason Tartick

Godfrey is joined by Peter Gunz, Punisher, Vishnu Vaka, Akeem Woods, and Dante Nero for another incredible episode of IGWT. The crew dives into viral fame that doesn't pay, influencers with massive followings and no money, and how clout, power, and outrage collide online. The conversation jumps from myths and church drama to Trump clips, global politics, boycotts, and the strange logic of the algorithm. Peter Gunz stops by, Black history gets its shine, and internet culture moments like the One Pound Fish guy resurface as the group breaks down why certain stories take over the feed while others disappear. Legendary Comedian Godfrey is LIVE from New York, and joins some of his best friends in stand up comedy, Hip-Hop and Hollywood to talk current events, pop culture, race issues, movies, music, TV and Kung Fu. We got endless impressions, a white producer, random videos Godfrey found on the internet and so much more! We're not reinventing the wheel, we're just talking 'ish twice a week... with GODFREY on In Godfrey We Trust.
