Podcasts about creator fund

NetEase layoff Marvel Rivals Western team Microsoft looking for the AI Muse and Meta Horizon is a thing for creators?

The latest Polys Ombudsperson of the Year is Ingrid Kopp, and previous winners Brittan Heller, Michaela Montagna, and myself gathered again on December 8 2024 to reflect on the current state of the XR industry as well as the specific ethical concerns about the intersection between XR and AI. We also speak about some of the power of storytelling to unpack some of these moral dilemmas, as well as tech policy in the context of the existing political climate, but also some of the broader and general trends of the XR industry. In my takeaways at the end, I also elaborate on the leaked memo from Meta CTO Andrew "Boz" Bosworth saying "We need to drive sales, retention, and engagement across the board but especially in MR. And Horizon Worlds on mobile absolutely has to break out for our long term plans to have a chance. If you don't feel the weight of history on you then you aren't paying attention. This year likely determines whether this entire effort will go down as the work of visionaries or a legendary misadventure." A lot of their Meta's commitment to XR seems to be directly tethered to the success or failure of their own first-party app. Zuckerberg's AR/VR Strategy memo from 2014 leaked to TechCrunch by Blake Harris now seems particularly prescient: "for now keep in mind that we need to succeed in building both a major platform and key apps to improve our strategic position on the next platform. If we only build key apps but not the platform, we will remain in our current position. If we only build the platform but not the key apps, we may be in a worse position." Zuckerberg later elaborates that apps and experiences are their top priority in XR: "I think you can divide the ecosystem into three major parts: apps / experiences, platform services and hardware / systems. In my vision of ubiquitous VR / AR, these are listed in order of importance." As time has passed, it's become more and more clear that the success of Meta's Horizon worlds may be directly tethered to Meta's overall commitment to the XR industry. Just yesterday, Meta announced a $50 million dollar fund for Meta Horizon World creators, with special awards for mobile: "By investing in mobile content, we can reach a lot of new people who don't yet own a Quest headset and ultimately grow the pie for everyone. That's why, as part of our $50 million Creator Fund for creators of mobile and MR worlds, we're also announcing our first creator competition of the year with a focus on mobile." UploadVR did a really great follow-up report about "From Quest To Horizon: How Meta's Shifting Priorities Are Affecting Developers" that includes many anonymous statements from XR developers talking about the impact of Meta's shifting priorities.

On this week's episode, I have content creation expert "Coco Mocoe”. Tune in as we talk about her unique eye on how to spot trends for the future, as well as what different social media platforms due for creators. We also discuss her thoughts on brand deals and what she looks for and her hopes and goals for the future. Show NotesCoco Mocoe on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cocomocoe/Coco Mocoe on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@cocomocoe?lang=enCoco Mocoe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@UC7MC6lTh3ui3_id2n-vnlPQMichael's Online Screenwriting Course - https://michaeljamin.com/courseFree Screenwriting Lesson - https://michaeljamin.com/freeJoin My Newsletter - https://michaeljamin.com/newsletterAutogenerated TranscriptsCoco Mocoe:Again, also with TikTok, it's always about reinventing, even though I always talk about marketing, but I feel like every three months I have to find a new way to present the same information that I've been talking about. So truly the best creators are the ones that are able to reinvent themselves, even though they're still providing the same information, but finding new ways to bring it to the feedMichael Jamin:You're listening to, what the hell is Michael Jamin talking about? I'll tell you what I'm talking about. I'm talking about creativity, I'm talking about writing, and I'm talking about reinventing yourself through the arts.Hey everyone, it's Michael Jamin. Welcome back. I have a very interesting guest for everyone today. So anyone who's listening to my podcast for any amount of time, I've always said, if you want to break into Hollywood, just start doing it. Stop asking permission, start. Just make it count on social media and just start posting whatever it is you want to be good at. Make a dedicated account to proving how good you are at this one thing, whether it's writing, performing music, whatever it is, and let's just see where it goes from there. Because if you can't do that, well then Hollywood's not going to pay you to do it. You got to do it for yourself. And so my next guest is an expert in this field because not only does she make a living out of predicting trends about people who've done this before, but she's doing it herself in building her own presence online. And content absolutely is essential. I turn to it when I have questions. So please welcome Coco Moko. Thank you so much. Coco Moko, which I love your name by the way.Coco Mocoe:Thank you. Thank you so much for having me. It's so funny when I made my username, my real name's Colleen, but I go by Coco Moko, and when I made the name, I didn't know my account would blow up, and so my managers were like, let's keep it though. It has a good ring to it. It does.Michael Jamin:But tell me, okay, so I know you've made a living at it doing this, but before you started doing it for yourself, who were you working for?Coco Mocoe:Yes. It's such a great story too. It was kind of divine timing, I guess. So I studied marketing in college, and then after college, my family's from the LA area, so I was super lucky to just live in LA. And I started a job that I got off Craigslist, and it ended up being this website called Famous Birthdays. I don't know if you've heard of it. It's very Gen Z Young. It's kind of like Wikipedia, but at the time, famous Birthdays was the only website really documenting YouTubers and at the time, musically kids. And so we had a really big audience of 12 year olds. And so I got hired there and my job was to run the musically, which had then turned to TikTok. So I was on the app early, and then the founder of Famous Birthdays, his name's Evan, he's like, if you ever see someone on your free page that you think is going to be famous, just invite them in and we'll interview them.And shortly after that was when I saw Charlie Delio when she was really early. We invited her in and we were her first ever interview, and that went super viral. And then there was a few others from that kind of era of kids and because of the videos that I was working on at Famous birthdays that were getting, I think one of the videos with Charlie Delios at 40 million Views on YouTube. And because we got an early, so, but then from there, I then got hired at buzzfeed, and I was at Buzzfeed for three and a half years where I was working on the backend with strategy, coming up with videos, and it was really just my job to go into meetings with different brands and creators and stuff and just tell them what I think the upcoming trends will be, how I think platforms are shifting, mainly TikTok and how I think that they can best create ideas that will go viral or work with people that aren't famous enough yet that they're going to decline but are eager to come in. And so that was really where I got the start with predicting and stuff, and where I learned that I had a good eye for pattern recognition, and then I just started making my own tos. That kind of blew up. And then I quit my full-time job in June of this year and have been just doing full-time stuff since.Michael Jamin:And so now you have close to a million followers, which is huge. Thank you.Coco Mocoe:Yeah.Michael Jamin:Then so, okay, so when you work for yourself, what does that mean?Coco Mocoe:Yeah, so I never really thought that I would go the consultant route. It was something that kind of just happened as a result of the videos that I was making. I never posted my trend prediction videos or algorithm decoding kind of videos with the intention of getting hired, but I was getting so many inquiries from really big brands that wanted to just pick my brain for an hour or so when I was at buzzfeed. And then I just felt, I mean, it was the different legal non-compete clauses and stuff. And so I just eventually realized that financially it made more sense to just take an hour meeting with a brand and make what I would've made in a month. And I'm so lucky you never know how long it's going to last. I'm very, very lucky. So that's kind of what the full-time thing is. Consulting sometimes brand deals. I don't always like to do a ton of brand deals. I don't want my account to just feel like one big commercial. And then I've been lucky enough to have a lot of music people actually reach out to me and I consult on the music side as well, so super lucky. ButMichael Jamin:Yeah. Okay. So big brands want your opinions, but are you saying also that the creators as well want your opinions?Coco Mocoe:Yeah, a lot of creators, and I actually, that's why I made the podcast that I have ahead of the curve, which hopefully you'll be able to come on one day when your book comes out. Yeah, I love that. And I do my podcast because I can't meet with everyone, and so I started doing that for a way to reach more of the creators. But yeah, I do have a lot of creators reach out. I feel like bandwidth wise, it's hard. So I try to find ways to reach out to people in my community that isn't always just a money exchange or a meeting and stuff. So I'm still figuring it out, but I've been very lucky since I went full-time with this.Michael Jamin:You must know this, or I'm hoping. So when a musician, an actor or whatever comedian, when they're reaching out to you or they're following you, what is it do you think they want, do you think they just want to blow up on social media or do they want to move to what I do traditional Hollywood?Coco Mocoe:Yeah. No, it's such a good question, and I think a lot of it when I do get more of the bigger celebrities that have followed me every now and then, I'm always like, I don't know. At first I'd be like, I don't know why. I don't know what value I'm even providing them. I remember one time Paris Hilton followed me and I was like, she is the biggest influencer in the world. And I'm like, what could I potentially provide to someone like that through my videos? But I think a lot of it too is just when I've talked to people who have followed me, whether it's an actor or a musician or just a person who's watching tos and has never made one before. A lot of the times they say that they like that my videos are able to take something happening on the algorithm or on marketing and media, but I kind of give a bigger lens to it as well.I'm able to connect the dots to everyone, whether you're watching it, whether you are the one making the content and really simplifying it and not just making, I think a lot of when I would watch marketing videos and stuff, it would be a lot of broy ad talk, which that's important talk too, but I never really related to the AB and that kind of stuff. I liked being like, this is why this person watched it. So anyways, I think that if it is an actor or musician following me, I think some of it is just curiosity. I don't think they always have the intention of using my videos as strategy, but when they do, I think it's because as working in entertainment, it really is an attention economy, and the way that people give their attention is constantly shifting. You could make the best piece of work and you just never know if the attention's going to be there or not. I think them watching my helps maybe dissect why certain things go viral, but again, you never know. You never really know. It's just always up in the air. But I try to bring sense to it.Michael Jamin:It changes. Everything changes so fast. Whatever the algorithm, whatever the new trend, whatever's going on, changes fast. And I feel like you always seem to be on top of it. How are you on top? Are you just watching videos all day and making lists and stuff? What are you doing?Coco Mocoe:Yes. It's so funny. I get that question all the time. I do spend a good amount of time on TikTok. I try not to because I think sometimes I believe in there's this saying, and it's the universe whispers, and it's essentially this idea that once you finally turn off your phone and the TV and the for you page scrolling and you just sit in silence for a little bit, that's when the ideas will come to you. So I do try to take moments away from my phone, but I would say for me, I do spend a lot of time on my phone and watching the algorithm, but I try to be strategic about it, and I do have notes on my phone. I'm constantly writing down ideas, and this sounds really woo woo, but sometimes my most viral ideas actually come to me in if I'm sleeping or something. I think it's this weird moment where it's all the information I've received throughout the day finally comes into me and I absorb it in a way, and then I wake up and I'll film a video. That's why I always film right first thing in the morning. And those are sometimes my most viral videos. Yeah.Michael Jamin:Well, a couple questions for you. So now when I first got on TikTok, okay, I got a lot of followers. I'm like, well, why do I have all these? What's the point of followers? When your reach is so low, why do they give you that metric? If you have half a million followers and on any given day, 10, 20,000 will see your content,Coco Mocoe:That happens to me and I have an algorithm answer for that. And then I also have something that helps me when I'm making videos that happens to even the biggest creators. But one way that I still feel inspired to make content and don't get down on myself when that happens is I think the creator, Chris Olson said it. He's a pretty big talker. And one time he said, yeah, 300 views feels really low for the first hour of a video being up. But imagine if you were in a lecture hall and 300 people walked in, that would be a really exciting feeling. You'd be nervous to speak to that many people. And even if I get three or five comments the first few hours, I think, well, I just gave a lecture, and that essentially is three people came up to me after and wanted to ask me more questions about it.So that's one way I try to still think that I'm adding value. And I feel like the biggest thing I hear from whether it's creators, celebrities, or brands, is, and it happens to everyone. So it's a universal experience, especially on TikTok. They always say, I feel like the algorithm hates me now. I feel like I'm shadow banned. And I agree. I think that things like that happen on the algorithm. What I think happens sometimes, I wonder if TikTok will inflate numbers every now and then where I'm like, I don't know if I actually got that many views, or it's almost like a lottery. I think that they gamified creating content in a way that almost feels like gambling, where you're rewarded for doing it more and more. But then it also can be exhausting and disorienting. And I think one thing that I've noticed sometimes happens is that one, people consume videos on their for you page and not always their following.I don't really know a lot of people that use the following tab to watch videos. So TikTok is so weird. I could follow a creator and never see one of their videos again. Yeah, it's just, it rewards people for finding new creators every day. But one more logistical piece of advice that I've heard and that I theorize, I don't know. I say it's like a Tin hat theory about the algorithm, but I think that TikTok, there's a human element to it, and they specifically push out certain trends or certain things happening in the news, and then when they're ready to shift to a new trend, whether it's because they have brands that want to promote something on their app or whatever it is, they will not necessarily shadow ban certain creators, but they shadow ban certain hashtags. That's just a theory I have. What often happens when I talk to people when they're experiencing it is I'll tell them to pull back on all of their hashtags, don't use any hashtags, and sometimes that will subvert any, it takes a while.But yeah, so basically what I'm saying is when it does feel like the algorithm hates you, it's usually not just you, it's just that the topic that you're talking about, they feel like it no longer is relevant for whatever reason, and they're shifting to something new. And again, also at TikTok, it's always about reinventing, even though I always talk about marketing, but I feel like every three months I have to find a new way to present the same information that I've been talking about. So truly, the best creators are the ones that are able to reinvent themselves, even though they're still providing the same information, but finding new ways to bring it to the feed. If TikTok is enjoying videos that are longer than a minute, making videos that are longer than a minute, if TikTok is preferring green screen videos going into green screen. So it really is kind of this tango that you play, butMichael Jamin:Ultimately it seems like, I'm sorry, like a vanity metric that they give you, which doesn't do any, okay, so why are you telling me this number?Coco Mocoe:Exactly. I 100% agree, and it's why I think it's great. You have your podcast, and I've heard you on other podcasts when I was looking up things about the strike, I remember listening to you as a guest on podcasts, and that's why I always encourage people, do not let TikTok be your number one. That can be your Trojan horse. It can get you exposure, and it can get you into the room that you want to be in, but it is not sustainable. TikTok is so finicky one day it'll love you. The next three months, it'll hate you. So really having things outside of TikTok that your audience, I always say have a home base outside of TikTok, so a podcast or whatever it is. So yeah, I totally rambled. I'm sorry, but I get that question a lot. Yeah, it's a good question.Michael Jamin:The whole thing. I also have a feeling after being on the app for so long that the number of serious content creators who post every day, for some reason, I feel like it's a much smaller, they won't tell you how many is, but it feels like it's a much smaller number than you might think it is. Do you feel that way?Coco Mocoe:Yeah. Are you saying you feel like there's less people posting than you would think or,Michael Jamin:Yeah, but seriously, every day who were like, okay, I'm committing to do it. Some people are just, alright, here's a silly video of me eating ice cream, and then they won't post again for another 10 months or whatever. But for the people who really trying to build a platform, I feel like that number is actually maybe lower than you'd think.Coco Mocoe:Yeah. So yeah, I think what it is is a lot of people, it's very, I think TikTok is really great in that it's one of the first ever apps I've seen where so many people have gone viral and reached audiences that we would've never thought of. I have found so many new creators on TikTok, whereas on YouTube, I'd find a new creators I was excited about maybe once every three months. But I think what it is is like, yeah, sustaining that is so hard. I think that what happens is people often, most origin stories on TikTok are, some people will go into it strategically, but the video that really blows up and puts them on the map, they never would've guessed it would've been that video or why it was that video. They never really know. And so I think that some people just don't have, they get excited, but they can't necessarily sustain it.And that's why I always think that the creators that have a slow burn are the ones who end up being the most successful in the long run. I'm sure that's even something that kind of in some ways applies to the entertainment industry, but I always think of the biggest creator in the world right now is Mr. Beast. And it took him five years to hit his first 100,000 followers, but I think that that length of time is why when he did finally get lucky, he had the daily habits and the muscle and the mental stamina to withstand that attention. Whereas some creators will have this stroke of luck, and then the moment the algorithm is no longer rewarding them in a month or two, they kind of freak out and just abandon it. Or they'll only post once every few weeks because they're ashamed that they aren't getting the numbers that they were. But it's just so normal. It's just the biggest creators.Michael Jamin:But to what end is all this, why is everyone doing this? Is it, I mean, I can see why you do it. You have a business now, but why is everyone else doing this?Coco Mocoe:I think it's two things. I think one, TikTok made it really easy to post. The barrier to entry is very low. And on YouTube, if you really wanted to go viral on YouTube five years ago, it would've taken understanding, editing to some degree, understanding how to upload certain files to your computer. I mean, those things are so hard. It would've taken the knowledge of figuring out how to make thumbnails. And the barrier to entry was just so high for platforms like YouTube, TikTok made it really easy that anyone could go viral. And I think the why, what's to what end? I think the people that have a kind of north star outside of TikTok are the ones that are successful, the ones that have something they're striving. For me, I feel like my best videos don't come from me saying, I want to go viral today.They come from me saying something like, oh, I have this hour long interview that I did, and I want to feed people to that. Let me just make a video, giving them the best moment. And so I think that the why version, what's the bigger thing? We're striving for every creator. It's different, but if you are only striving for TikTok fame, it's so fleeting. And that's never, again, I say TikTok, it's like the Trojan horse. It's just going to get you in the room, but it's not going to do the talking for you. It's not going to make the business deals. It just gets you in a room that you might not have been in otherwise.Michael Jamin:And so what are the rooms, do you think it's people are trying to become actors, so they're trying to blow up, whatever, I'm goofy here now, put in your TV show. Is that what it is?Coco Mocoe:Yeah, I mean, it could be. I guess everyone's different. I know. I think there's this one guy, I don't know if you saw it, I think a year or two ago, and he made videos. He made comedic videos, and he made one video about wanting to be on SNL, and the internet was really hard on him, and I didn't feel like I see that it was fair. Yeah. I was like, okay, this is someone shooting their shot. Good for him. He didn't put anyone down in the process. He didn't step on anyone. It was a video that took obviously planning and thought. And I think also maybe he reposted it recently and that's why it's at top of mind and it's going viral again, but now there's a positive sentiment around it. So I do think that, and to answer your question, I do think that specifically for actors, there's a Pandora's box with TikTok because it does get you in a room.And I could be wrong. I feel like you probably know more about this than me, but I feel like with actors, they have to be very strategically pulled back. They don't want to reveal too much about themselves personally because it could hurt them in terms of being typecast or getting into character, I think could be harmed. If people are like, oh, I remember them making a TikTok where they failed at making iced coffee one day and it spilled all over their dog. No one will ever take them seriously. So I think actors, it's a little tricky. It's like a Pandora's box. They go viral, but it's really hard for that to be taken seriously, I think, by audiences sometimes, but I do think some will be able to do it.Michael Jamin:Is that your theory, or are you hearing this from actors from creators who tried to break it and are getting that feedback?Coco Mocoe:I mean, no, I guess for me, it really is more of a theory and just me watching one of the really big comedic talkers who was on TikTok for years, and she doesn't do it as much anymore, but her name's Brittany Broski. I don't know if you've heard of her. No. She was pretty big. She had a few memes that went viral, and she has millions of followers, but I think she would make a really great SNL cast member. I think that she's really funny and smart, and I could see that in the cards for her one day. But right now she's just doing a podcast as herself and not just doing, I mean, that's huge. But I think that she's one of the bigger creators that I think of in terms of being an actor on TikTok. And I don't know that we've seen someone be able to translate that to a big role yet. I think we will. We just haven't seen it yet, because there is this weird dynamic between the audience and the actor that other influencers don't really have to worry about.Michael Jamin:Well, I wish I knew the name. There's someone named Nurse Blake. You heard of him? No. Okay. Because a comedian, but a nurse, he sells out venues doing I guess comedy, but he's also a nurse. I'm like, I don't understand if you're selling out these giant venue news, what's with this other gig you got? So I just don't get it. I don't get any of it.Coco Mocoe:Well, and what's funny, the thing about what you just explained is really fascinating to me, and it's something I talked about last year where I coined it the rise of the anti influencer, but essentially him having something like another job, whether that's still happening or not, I think audiences are drawn to that because they feel like there's less pressure on them if the influencer doesn't succeed. It's like, well, they have another job, and so they actually are more likely to be open to the person. So oddly, I think having that kind of double life in a way lends to an audience feeling less pressure. And that did make me remember that in terms of the comedic route and acting and stuff, there was one standup comedian, his name's Matt Rife.Michael Jamin:Yes. And I just learned about him. So go on. I had never heard of him until go on.Coco Mocoe:And I think he's one of those people where it's like Mr. Beast, where he had been trying to do the standup comedy route for five or seven years, and he started just posting clips from his shows on TikTok, and he went on a tour last year, and he filmed a Netflix special that hasn't aired yet, but Forbes, he was on the Forbes top creator list, and they estimated that he had made 25 million last year.Michael Jamin:Yeah, I saw that article. I'm floored.Coco Mocoe:Yes. I don't know how they calculate. I don't know. But if it's even just 2.5 million, that's a crazy number for someone who was struggling as a standup comedian, began posting clips of it to TikTok and is now selling out venues, and it's crazy. It'sMichael Jamin:Mind blowing. And yeah, it's just a platform. And I give him a lot of credit. I mean, made himself, he willed it to be, but I mean, I guess, I don't know. I know you guys were talking, you and your podcasting party we're talking about, and what's the name of your pocket, by the way, so everyone canCoco Mocoe:Talk? Oh, yeah. So I have my main one, it's ahead of the curve with Coco Mocoe. That one's my solo one where I just talk to experts like yourself and stuff. And then I have a show with my friend, his name's Nikki Rearden, called Share Your Screen, where each week we dive into whatever's happening in the news or in marketing and talk about why we think certain things are going viral. So a lot of people that see the clips from my profile, it's usually the clips of me and Nikki. So I'm guessing that's whatMichael Jamin:It might've been. But you guys were talking about the newest trend, which is basically, I guess people like me sharing expertise in some kind of attempt to what,Coco Mocoe:Yeah, I mean, I think experts are what make TikTok my favorite app because it takes people who maybe didn't have time or the career background to study, again, film theory and cameras and microphones and how to sync up audio and all these things, but they're able to make really good videos because of the TikTok editing software within the app. And yeah, I mean, I used this saying on TikTok where it's called the niche, here you go, the Quicker You Grow. It's a saying that I came up with when I was at buzzfeed, and I would say in every meeting. And what I meant by that is people have this misconception that in order to go viral, you have to hit the masses. You have to make a cool football moment and also tap dance and also paraglide and tell a funny joke all in 30 seconds in the same video. And I am like, that's not really how it works. The best videos are very niche, and that's kind of why experts grow on the app. You are known as the Hollywood writer, and I think I was telling one of my friends that I was going on your pod, and when I said that they knew exactly who you were. And it's just that thing where it's like you would rather be known for, or another way I say it is you want to be great at one thing on social media, then be average at everything. But ifMichael Jamin:You're 20 years old, what are you great at?Coco Mocoe:Yeah, and I think that's a great question. That's why, and I don't think 20 year olds are people that are still, even people in their midlife or older don't always have to start their account and just stick to one thing. I think part of social media is exploring different parts of your identity and seeing what people to respond to. So I think that's why we do see a lot of the younger kids online are more lifestyle influencers. Their day is, I mean, I'm 27 now. When I was between the ages of 19 and 23, I felt like my life something different changed every single day. And it was interesting. But if I did lifestyle content, now my life is very normal and stable that I always say, I'm like, I'm not interesting. The things I talk about are interesting. So that's why I think there's a lot of lifestyle creators that are younger. Their life is constantly changing as it does when you're in your early twenties. But TikTok is really where I feel like we've seen older people in midlife. And on the other apps on Instagram, I felt like you had to be an 18 year old model traveling the world to be interesting to the algorithm. And it's not like that on TikTok. And I would say YouTube's similar to TikTok in that way too. ButMichael Jamin:Yeah, I don't know. I can't grow on YouTube. I could do well, this platform on TikTok, but Oh, I had a question. No, I lost it. Can you believe I lost it? No, you're good. Yeah. Well, now we'll have to take a pause as I try to remember what I was going to say, but Oh, yeah, no, I know what I was going to say. So you are in an interesting position in that you share your expertise on this, on becoming, I don't know, a creator or an influencer and all that, but you also do that. So talk a little bit about that. When you post, okay, you know what you're going to say to help, this is the trend you're spotting, or this is who's blowing up. You want to talk, but you also have to make a video where you are performing where you are. You're not just sharing your knowledge, you are a creator as well.Coco Mocoe:I know it's kind of meta. It's meta. Now we've entered the age of social media where creators are making platforms, talking about being a creator. I mean, yeah, I guess for me, I am really lucky that my audience likes when I talk about those things, and I don't have to necessarily divulge a bunch of information about my personal life and stuff. I think some creators do get into a predicament where their whole brand is built on their relationship, and then maybe their relationship ends, unfortunately, and they have to rebrand. And so I'm very lucky that my audience just likes when I talk about what's happening. And it's funny because when I started talking about these things, I didn't actually think that people really cared. Crazy story is when I first started my TikTok and some of my followers found me through, this is, it sounds so woo, but I actually, I did tarot.Me and my friends do tarot for fun, and I would make a few tarot videos, and they went viral. And then I realized that there's 15 year olds making way better tarot videos than I ever could. I'm like, the world's going to be okay if these 15 year olds, they're doing their messages and it's great, and if that's what you believe in and you like that content, they've got it covered. And so I told my audience, I was like, okay, you guys. And I could tell the algorithm was shifting away from that, and it just wasn't exciting anymore. And I was a professional and it was just a hobby that I did, and I told my audience, I was like, I'm going to take a break from my TikTok and I think I'm going to come back to the internet. I think you guys are going to find me, but it's going to look different, and I don't know what that's going to be yet.And at the time, again, I was working at buzzfeed. I talked about these things in my nine to five, and I always thought it was, I loved it, but I thought it would be boring to other people, like the whole marketing, the trends, the algorithm. I thought that that was having an accountant talk about math. Then I took a break from my account for a little bit. I would make every videos every now then, but then one day before a meeting, I had five minutes and I made a video that was a trend prediction, and it got I think 4 million views in two days. And within a week, I was getting booked to go speak at Adweek in New York and all of these crazy doors opened. And so it was funny that for me, I always was doing marketing, and I just never thought until I made that video randomly that anyone actually cared about that. But I guess a lot of people did. And I'm very lucky that a lot of people did. And I have been riding the wave ever since. And I feel like as long as there's new trends and new people getting viral and new things happening online, I'll always have something new to talk about, and I'll never get bored.Michael Jamin:Hey, it's Michael Jamin. If you like my content and I know you do because you're listening to me, I will email it to you for free. Just join my watch list. Every Friday I send out my top three videos of the week. These are for writers, actors, creative types, people like you can unsubscribe whenever you want. I'm not going to spam you, and the price is free. You got no excuse to join. Go to michaeljamin.com. And now back to what the hell is Michael Jamin talking about?I have rules that I played by how many days, how many times a day will you post and how many days a week? Because it can get out of hand. It can get so much where you are working for the app now.Coco Mocoe:Yes, there are days where I'll post a lot and there's days where I just won't do anything. I mean, it really depends on my schedule. Each day when I was first starting and just doing green screen videos with my trend predictions and algorithm things, I would probably film two or three a day. But now also that TikTok rewards longer content. I don't know if you do that minute or longer type videos. Oh,Michael Jamin:I do. It's always at least three minutes. Yeah.Coco Mocoe:Yes. And are you in the creativity beta program?Michael Jamin:No. No. I want to talk about that.Coco Mocoe:Okay.Michael Jamin:Well, good. Hang on to that.Coco Mocoe:Okay, good, good, good. Now, TikTok has the beta program, which I'm in, and when I know that's not going to last forever, but when I got my first check from that, I was like, oh, that's a good chunk of money. Now, when I do film videos, it really is my job. I see. Every time I film a video that's a minute or longer, I'm like, okay, that is a certain amount of money that I could make. But I will say probably on average I'll post three to five videos depending on my mood, and then I'll usually take a day or two off and I'll film in studio or something. So it really just depends. But I think that now that I've grown a little bit, I do think I do more quality over quantity, whereas the first few months where I really blew up doing this kind of thing, I was posting a lot. I was riding the wave. And now that I think I have credibility and a few really good videos under my belt, I can do a little bit less and people will pay attention and seek out my content. Now, are youMichael Jamin:Worried though, that being the creator studio will limit? This is for those who don't know, this is when TikTok will pay you. You post a video and they pay you depending on how views you have. Are you worried that it'll limit your views, your reach?Coco Mocoe:So that's a great question because, and again, tin Hat theory, I don't know, but for those of you guys who were on the app a couple of years ago, they had this thing called the Creator Fund. And I ran experiments on accounts at my, and through creators I worked with at my old job where we would enroll into the creator fund. And let's say they were getting on average 5 million views a month, and we would enroll into the creator fund and their views would drop to a hundred thousand a month, and they couldn't get a video with over 2000 views. And I personally think it was TikTok was capping the money because they were pulling the money out of thin air. They didn't have ads on the platform didn't, it's not like YouTube where it's ad sent, so it's not out of YouTube's pocket. It's like Google paid Red Bull paid to put an ad on a Mr. Beast video for 30 seconds, and YouTube's not paying that money. But TikTok, I think, capped people's views, in my opinion. I don't know, because they were realizing they had to pull this money out of thin air.The beta program that is happening now, I don't know. I know some creators have had problems. I feel like my videos actually perform better now that I'm in it. I don't know the math behind it. I don't know if it's because TikTok is running more ads on the platform that they can afford it. I will say that I think that TikTok is gearing up to lean into longer, longer content. I know on their website, they've been testing podcast beta features like I'm nosy, and I go on the TikTok website and I'll just look at little buttons and stuff, what I had to do for my old job, and I can see them rolling out this podcast button, and then they took it down, and then they'll put it back up. And I think they're getting ready to roll that out. So I don't know, but I do think that at least my own experience, the beta program has been great for me financially. I don't think it's going to last.Michael Jamin:Why do you say that? Why won't it last forever?Coco Mocoe:I don't know. I think that I never put any of my eggs in any financial basket as a full-time creator. Now, you never know. And also, one day I could wake up and people could just find my videos not interesting anymore. That's always something that's in the back of my mind, and I have to be okay with that. So,Michael Jamin:Because I wasn't sure if they call it a beta account because it is beta, they're going to change it.Coco Mocoe:Oh, yeah. Because called the creativity beta program, and I think it's maybe only certain creators can be a part of it or something. You have to have 10,000 followers. So yeah, I don't know. At least for me, the last, I think I enrolled in June, and I think we're not allowed to share the exact amounts in the terms of service. But I'll just say it was more than my monthly salary at my full-time job. And I was like, okay, cool.Michael Jamin:But you really have to have videos that go viralCoco Mocoe:Pretty good.Michael Jamin:Yeah. I mean, I have a big following. You never know. Yeah, it might be 20,000 due on a video, and that might be that way for two weeks. So I don't think, it doesn't sound like a get rich quick scheme for me. I don't know.Coco Mocoe:Yeah, no, I always say it's just you never want to put all your eggs in one basket with social media. A platform could be gone tomorrow. You never know, really. I always say you just always want to have that kind of North star. You just want to use social media again as that Trojan horse, but always have other things in the back of your mind, which I was honestly curious about you. I know there's the strike and stuff, but do you feel like having your TikTok, do you think it's helped open doors for you in your career year?Michael Jamin:Well, I mean, originally I started it, and I want to get your advice on this. I started it because I wrote a book and my agent said, platform drives acquisition. I said, well, what does that mean? He says, you need to have a social media following to sell it. And in the field in personal essays, which is because if you like David Sera, it's like that. So my goal, and which I've already done, is I written the book, it'll go on sale probably in a couple months, and then I've been performing with it. I've been touring with a little bit with it to sell tickets, my poster of me. So I didn't want to, so that was the whole goal was just to write a book and then tour with it and a show that I do. And so the reason I didn't want to get into the beta program, I was like, well, let's not lose sight of what the goal is. I don't want to do anything that's going to jeopardize that. It's really about selling a book and then touring with it. But what advice do you have for me regarding that?Coco Mocoe:Yeah, no, I mean, one, I would say for books specifically, two, I feel like oddly, I mean, I'm not even really on Meadow or Facebook like that, but there's certain communities. I had someone, a relative that wrote a book once, and it was in their specific profession, and I was like, you should join Facebook pages about that profession. But of course, there's certain things where you can't promote. But no, I guess in terms of promoting your book specifically, one, I think that if you are going on tour, of course the posting clips from being on stage for whatever reason, people just love those. I feel like that's low hanging fruit advice, though. I would say just, I can send you a guy's profile after this if I follow him out to find it. But he is an author and he will just read quotes from his book, and some of the clips go viral.He literally just will read a part of it. And maybe even, I don't know if you live stream a lot like TikTok live sometimes just the type of audience that watches a live, it's a lot of work. So I don't think it's for everyone, and it's not for all the time, but the type of person who seeks out a TikTok live, they're very loyal. They sometimes have not in a bad way, they just have a lot of time on their hands. They're more likely to be early adopters of whatever the creator's doing. So I know that's kind of all surface level advice, but I guess, so you have a new book coming out? Is that what it is? Or,Michael Jamin:Well, my first book, yeah, because a TV writer, first book. This is my first book.Coco Mocoe:Okay. You've been on TikTok for, I think I found you aMichael Jamin:Year. It's probably been two years now.Coco Mocoe:Okay. Yeah. I feel like I found you a year ago, so it's, I'm guessing you've just been building it up. I mean, yeah, I wish I had better advice. I think I'd have to know more too. That's why I'm excited. I'd love to read your book and then have you on my pod. I just did that with, yeah, I love reading. I've had two guests on now where I've read their book, and I feel like it really helps me with questions. And again, my thing is you just never know what's going to go viral. You never know what's going to work. I feel like it's just throwing things at the wall.Michael Jamin:I was curious if you've known anybody who's done what I'm doing, and I don't know if there is anyone, which is fine. I know. I'm glad to be the first one.Coco Mocoe:Yeah, I mean, I can't think of anyone. I do know that when I was talking to Taylor Lauren, she's a journalist that just put out a book, and she was saying that pre-sales weirdly count for so much money. So definitely, of course, ramping up. And also, I will say, oddly, I feel like because a writer, you would have a cool idea around this eventually if you slept on it. But whether it's marketing for music or shows, one of the best strategies that I've seen across the board is people love feeling like they're in on a secret or something they're not supposed to know yet. Saying something like, there's this book that hasn't come out yet, but I got my hands on it and tell me what you guys think of this quote. Or people love the idea of, this hasn't come out yet, but I'm giving you a little tidbit, or making it kind of mysterious. And then being like, there is a link to, if you are curious about the pre-sale, things like that, people love feeling like, oh, I wasn't supposed to know this, or I wasn't, like, this isn't out to the public yet. So anytime something can feel mysterious or you're doing them a favor by revealing something that isn't out there yet, oddly, that always works across the board.Michael Jamin:Yeah. Well, I discovered a couple of days ago, because the book hasn't even dropped yet, that I was on Amazon. I typed Michael Jamin into Amazon, and Michael Jamin book came up as a search term. So people are looking for it, and I haven't even announced it yet. So that's cool.Coco Mocoe:Wow. Yeah. And I know that makes me think of SEO, how you could lean into that SEO kind of thing. And sorry, do you have the name for rubric or are you allowed toMichael Jamin:Reveal it? Yeah, it's a paper orchestra and I don't have, well, here's this that has too much of a glare on it, but this is not the cover of the book. This is the cover ofCoco Mocoe:My show.Michael Jamin:This is the cover of my show, and it's just like it's a typewriter, whatever it's me coming out of. But yeah, so it's very, yeah, I don't know. I feel like I'm doing this all, let's just try it. I don't really know what I'm doing reallyCoco Mocoe:Well. And if it makes you feel better, even the biggest people in the world that have entire teams around them, they don't really know what they're doing either. Again, the internet changes constantly. No one really knows. And I think that the people that really do succeed, one, it's a stroke of luck, and two, it's just showing up until the algorithm decides to what you're doing, knowing what your message is, but still always being able to tweak it or be flexible if you feel like a certain delivery isn't working, if talking straight to camera hasn't been hitting, being willing to do a green screen or walking while holding your phone because Gen Z for some reason, loves when people are moving while talking and just,Michael Jamin:Yeah, there are some people, there's two creators. I follow celebrity book club, and these two, you know them. Okay,Coco Mocoe:Love them.Michael Jamin:So they just read memoirs that people put out and they talk about it, and that's it. And they're able to travel and sell tickets in various cities, which are good for you. ICoco Mocoe:Mean, I know. Yeah. And if you think about it with them, part of why it's so cool is they're providing so much value to the audience because not everyone is a reader. Or sometimes people will buy memoirs, but they won't read them for whatever reason, they'll save it, and they're kind of doing this SparkNotes thing. But I just love their pod. I saw they just had Julia Fox on, and I made a video on my profile where I'm like, Julia Fox, if you're ever in la, I'd love to have you. But yeah, and I've listened to a few episodes. I think they for years, did a couple different podcasts. And finally, this is just the one that stuck. So it really is just consistency. You just never know what format's going to be the one to really put you on the map.Michael Jamin:It's odd because I will start traveling with it, but I'm big in maybe four or five cities according to my analytics. Wow. But I'm not sure if I can sell tickets in any other city other than the ones that I'm big in. So I don't know.Coco Mocoe:And when you do start going to shows, just for whatever reason, TikTok just loves when people post clips from their shows. I think part of Matt Rife's whole thing and why he made, according to Forbes 25 million through ticket sales. But he would post a lot. And I mean, I think the gimmick is sometimes overdone a little bit, but his audience interactions, again, not for everyone, but I think that people started buying tickets to his shows in the hopes of being a part of his next viral TikTok. Yes. It kind of broke the fourth wall, and it incentivized people to go to his shows because they wanted to be the one that was a part of his next viral video because he had an interaction with them in the audience. So I think he kind of cracked a code, or sorry. Yeah, he cracked this viral code where there was now an incentive for people to actually physically show up and watch him. That'sMichael Jamin:So interesting. But was he doing crowd work? Was he talking to the audience or was it something else? Was it comedy that he was doing?Coco Mocoe:No, I think it was. I think he does also just post his comedy clips, but for whatever reason, his crowd work goes so viral. And I mean, again, I do think sometimes it does get old. You can tell so many. And I mean, I'm not hating shtick. I think it's cool, but maybe because what I do for a living and I just study these things, I feel like I can tell when comedians come up on my feed now and they're kind of trying to recreate that. It's like a trend. They're trying to be trendy and recreate that success. And some it works, some it doesn't. But yeah, he kind of incentivized people to come to the show, then they'd be a part of his videos.Michael Jamin:Interesting. And that's hitting on something else, which is it doesn't seem like actors, people, actors who are already famous, they don't seem to do well, or am I wrong about thatCoco Mocoe:On TikTok? No, I think you're right. I actually talked with Molly about this today and why specifically a-list? Celebrities seem to kind of struggle, I think, on TikTok. And one, I also think, even though my whole thing is I give advice on how to grow on apps like TikTok, I'm like, not everyone needs to be on TikTok. It's okay. It's not for everyone. I think some bigger celebrities benefit from being mysterious and not really being on social media, but the ones that do try, I think sometimes there is this feeling of detachment where when you're so big and you have a big team around you, by the time you come up with an idea, you get it approved, you go through whatever they, the label, the this, the that. And then you post the video. The trend is already two weeks old. So the people that are really quick on their feet that are a little bit more scrappy are the ones who I think thrive on apps like TikTok, because TikTok just moves so quick. I don't think, butMichael Jamin:That's the thing, I, I've never once done a trend and I don't think I ever will.Coco Mocoe:And what's so funny, I'm the same exact way. And it's funny that I talk about trends you'll never see. I did one it at the YouTube studio, the two girl, but you'll never see me doing trending audios. And it's so funny that I talk about trends, but my belief is that really the people that thrive don't pay attention to trends at all. I always say the opposite of trendy is timeless. And if you tie yourself to a trend and that becomes your identity, when that audio or that trend isn't big in two or three weeks from now, you're done. But I love creator. I think that's why experts really thrive on TikTok because they're providing so much value that they don't really have to rely on gimmicks and trends to be relevant. Or even if they're not relevant, they're providing value that people are going to seek out and eventually find them.Yeah. So yeah, I am the same way. I don't really believe in, my biggest pet peeve is when I would go into consulting meetings with huge brands and they're like, what trending audio should we lip sync to? I'm like, you shouldn't think like that. Also, FTC guidelines, technically you can't because of legal problems. But I just think that, I always say going viral is that's a low goal. I think it aiming low as a goal. You should think of being bigger than virality. You should think of providing so much value that it doesn't matter whether you're focused on trends or not. You live longer than that online.Michael Jamin:I'm skipping around here, but years ago, not even that many years ago, I was on a TV show, I dunno, less than 10, maybe eight years ago. And we needed to cast a role. We went for an actor, and the studio wanted us to go out to someone who had a big social media following. That's who they wanted to cast. So we found this guy, this kid with a big following. We were going to pay him a lot of money per episode, and he kept on turning it down because he was making more money posting Instagram than he was whenever that was. It was like 20,000 in an episode or something. It wasn't worth his time.Coco Mocoe:Yeah. I mean, yes. That's interesting. That does make me think. I talked recently to this really big agent. He manages the Emilios, his name is Greg Goodfried, and something he said to me was the reason that the Emilio signed to him when they were looking for every agent in the game was cutthroat going for the Emilios. I remember this, I was filming videos with them at the time when they were coming into the office, and they were behind the scenes, I think, figuring out who they were going to sign with. And what Greg said to them was, it's not about what you do, it's about what you don't do, and you're going to get so many offers. But in terms of the show that you were saying, one, I'm also guessing that if he felt like he didn't have the acting chops, I don't know if that's what it was, the money would not be worth how it could potentially affect his career. I don't know if he was going into acting, he might've felt that yes, it was money, but if he felt like he wasn't prepared yet, again, if you're not a classically, acting is hard.Michael Jamin:He was actually a pretty good actor. Maybe he thought that the show was going to put a stink on him. Maybe being associated with the show would've hurt his Instagram maybe, orCoco Mocoe:I mean, yeah. And there's just so many factors. He also maybe could have just been making so much money that it was just not social media. And the money on social media happens in such short spurts. You never know when a well is going to dry up. On YouTube, years ago, there was this apocalypse where people were making $300,000 a month, and then it dropped to $5,000 a month, and all these craters were scrambling. So you never know. And so I think some people, when they hit a stride, they don't want to get detracted from that. But I also think sometimes it's good to not always worry about money and think about the bigger picture. I mean, I just turned down a pretty big deal because I was like, it just didn't make sense for me, and I really had to trust that I know the bigger picture here. And even if I'm making less money in the next six months, that I know that down the line, the vision will be bigger than what I would've ever made.Michael Jamin:Well, that's a good segue. So two things. Are you represented by an agent?Coco Mocoe:I guess it's like a talent manager. I know agents are a little different, but Alright.Michael Jamin:So managers to, what is your larger picture, as you mentioned?Coco Mocoe:Yeah, I am flexible. I don't always know. I always say I don't really want to be in the public eye for long. I think a couple of years. And then I mean you, I'd love to write a book. I would love if I could write a book. And then I think long-term, I'll probably be what I'm doing now. And part of why I signed with the specific agent that I have now is when I was blowing up and I was getting a few offers, what he said to me was, you don't even really have to do a ton of brand deals. I think that you don't even have to gain another follower, but you could have a great career being a speaker and going to events. And that's really panned out. So I think maybe doing something like that, speaking engagements. I love my podcast. I could see that going for another five to 10 years if I'm lucky. You never know. But ultimately I would love to just write a book and then write off into the sunset. But I know it's not that easy. So I don't know. I will say though, I don't really like being a public figure. Again. I say I don't really think I'm that interesting. I think what I talk about is interesting. So I'd love to eventually pull back one day.Michael Jamin:So is this agent or manager, is that what they do for you to get you public speaking gigs? Is that what they, their goal?Coco Mocoe:Yeah. Yeah, all of it. So they do speaking engagements. I went to Adweek in New York. I went to Cannes Lion in France this summer. It was so great. And then brand deals, they're my day-to-day manager. So I meet with them and his team and constantly texting and emailing. And they also help me facilitate my consulting and stuff. I hate dealing with the conversations around money and contracts, and they're ones that step in and do all of that for me. And then I just show up for the meetings and give them my advice, and then that's all I have to deal with.Michael Jamin:And so what is it about, this will wrap it up, because this is a big question though. Being in the public eye, especially on TikTok, especially putting yourself vulnerable out there. They're haters, they're lunatics. Is this part of the problem?Coco Mocoe:I mean, sometimes, yeah. I've even recently just started replying to a few comments just because I want people to know that there's a real human, when you tell someone to go off themselves, there's an actual, I think people, it's crazy. I think that people see a video and it's hard for them to think that this isn't a one dimensional cardboard cutout. This is a real person. So yeah, I mean, sometimes it is the comments, the negativity. I think that ultimately though, if you know who you are that will shine through, you'll have mistakes and you'll have missteps and you'll have moments. But if you know kind of who you are and where you're headed, you'll always be okay. But I think more so for me, it's that I am really a big believer that going viral online can be a type of trauma. It can open up a lot of doors, but I think that it's really something that not a lot of people are prepared for.I think we see it with bigger celebrities that get famous young, the notion that sometimes fame is a type of trauma, yet everyone wants it. And so I think that being visible, no one, our human brains haven't evolved to processing, being seen by 20,000 people a day. We were used to having the 10 people in our little community in the middle of nowhere, and it's different. So I think there's just no understanding or process yet for really knowing what's happening. And it's traumatic and it can be scary. I mean, I love it. I think I'm good at tuning it out. I think it's so much better when you get famous or you get a viral moment when you're older. I think that I'm sure for us it's a little bit easier. I couldn't imagine being 16 and your frontal cortex is still developing. Well,Michael Jamin:What happened when you responded to that person said, Hey, I'm a real person. Did you get the response that you were hoping to get?Coco Mocoe:I mean, yeah. The best is when they delete the comment, just like I think they realized, but it's not even for the person who even left the comment. I more so do it too every, and not all the time I don't read. I got really good advice from a creator once. They said, once your video's been up for an hour or two, don't read the comments because it's not really going to be the people. You're on the for you page when you get your first hate comment. But I guess it's also just me kind of sending the message to other people that are leaving me comments, that I'm reading them and I see them. It's just always an effort to humanize myself. But I mean, it's hard. I feel like there's no right or wrong way. I think that the most successful people are the ones that just don't really care. And I envy that about some people. They just don't. I'm like, wow, that's so cool.Michael Jamin:Even for me, it affects me. So that's why I don't even the problems, I won't respond. Someone left a comment once a year ago or whatever, they left a question and then someone else commented, oh, don't bother asking this guy a question. He only responds to haters. And I thought, that's what I'm doing. I go, that's what I'm doing. And the person was right. I was only responding. I was rewarding the idiots. And so after that, I go, well, now I'm done. I'm not responding to anybody unless it's in a post. I'm not responding to anyone.Coco Mocoe:Oh, yeah. I mean, I really try the first hour to respond to a lot of the positive comments or if people are making, if they have good questions. And also if someone has a valid critique of my video, sometimes I'm not always going to get it right. And that's okay. And I'll reply. Thank you. You're right. I get that point too. So for me, I do try to, again, I think of it as that lecture hall where the first few people that are really reaching out and leaving thoughtful comments, it's someone who is like, you're in the lecture and they raise their hand, or they're a student who came up and they were so excited about what you were saying that they wanted to have that moment with you. And I mean, I think I'm really lucky though, in that I think my following is really, really intelligent. I think that the people that follow me are really thoughtful, and I'm very lucky that there's usually very thoughtful discussions in my comments as well.Michael Jamin:But see, I struggle with that. I was like, am I supposed to be accessible or not accessible? Who am I supposed to be on this?Coco Mocoe:And there's no, there's no yes or no answer. Some days you'll be more accessible and some days, some months, whatever you'll pull back. I think just really taking it based on your mood or where you're at. I think the biggest misconception I see with public figures and also creators is they feel like they have to make a decision, and then that's who they are. I get that a lot with authenticity and what do I reveal about myself and am I revealing too much? Am I not revealing enough? And I'm like, you don't have to make that decision in a boardroom one day. One day you're going to be more vulnerable. One day you're going to be, no one can find you. You're off the grid.Michael Jamin:But I don't know, the common knowledge is you're supposed to respond for the algorithm. But then I was like, if I'm working for the algorithm doing this, I'm out. The minute I start working the algorithm, I don't want to do it anymore.Coco Mocoe:And that's a very fair game. I totally get that sentiment. I know you'd said it earlier too, which is at what point are we just free employees to TikTok? And I agree, and that's why I think that the only way it really is beneficial is if you're always, again, there's just something bigger that you're striving for than TikTok, like feeding people to a podcast. And again, you don't want to always ask people to go and do something. There's a rule in marketing, it's called the 80 20 rule where 80% of your content should just be adding value, and then 20% is asking people to go buy a book or go to your pod. But yeah, I guess there's no right or wrong answer.Michael Jamin:I think there's something as we wrap it up, I think there's something smart that I learned. I think you said it, I'm trying to remember. I'm pretty sure you said it, and we'll talk a little bit about this. It was about, I think you, I'm sorry if it wasn't you. It was like you read some study that said part of what's the appeal of social media today is that people see you and it's this frequency with which they see you and then they fall in love with there are programmed like who we see all the time.Coco Mocoe:Yes. So there's a book called Fan Chasm, and it was Yes. And they basically studied the science behind parasocial relationships, which again, that's a buzzword that I feel like people throw around, but we don't even really understand it completely yet. And yeah, that's essentially what they said. And I guess we'll end on that note, so fascinating, but that the humans, and again, I'm not a psychologist, not claiming to be just my interpretation of this book, they essentially theorized that humans were programmed to bond with the faces that we see most often because that depended on our survival. So back when we were in small communities hunting bears, you had to make sure that you bonded with the person who caught the bear or else you weren't going to eat that week. And so we do it even subconsciously, but what's happening now with the internet and media, and we saw it in the early rise of celebrities as well, but that there's a disconnect happening where we see Taylor Swift's face more than we see our own boss's face or

In der Mittagsfolge sprechen wir heute mit Kevin Berghoff, CEO und Co-Founder von QuantumDiamonds, über die erfolgreich abgeschlossene Seed-Finanzierungsrunde in Höhe von 7 Millionen Euro.QuantumDiamonds entwickelt Sensoren, die eine zerstörungsfreie Bildgebung von Magnetfeldern im Nanobereich ermöglichen und in verschiedenen Branchen wie der Halbleiterherstellung Anwendung finden. Das Startup stellt seine Kerntechnologie mit Defekten in synthetischen Diamanten her, die als sogenannte Stickstoff-Fehlstellenzentren bekannt sind. Diese Defekte können manipuliert werden, um physikalische Größen mit extremer Präzision zu erkennen und zu messen. Diese Methode eröffnet einen bisher unerschlossenen Bereich der Sensortechnik und ermöglicht hochempfindliche Messungen auf atomarer und molekularer Ebene. QuantumDiamonds verfügt bereits über einen funktionsfähigen Prototyp und wird die Investition nutzen, um weitere Quanteningenieurinnen und -ingenieure einzustellen, damit das Unternehmen sein erstes kommerzielles Produkt herstellen kann. Die Technologie des Unternehmens hat weitere Anwendungsmöglichkeiten in Branchen wie der medizinischen Diagnostik und der Batterieentwicklung. QuantumDiamonds wurde im Jahr 2022 von Dr. Kristina Liu, Dr. Fleming Bruckmaier und Kevin Berghoff während ihrer Promotion an der Technischen Universität in München gegründet. Das Unternehmen arbeitet derzeit mit 4 der 10 größten Halbleiterunternehmen der Welt zusammen.Nun hat das Münchner Startup in einer Seed-Runde 7 Millionen Euro unter der Führung von IQ Capital und Earlybird eingesammelt. Neben den leitenden VCs haben sich auch Onsight Ventures, First Momentum, Creator Fund und UnternehmerTUM an der Runde beteiligt und haben zusammen insgesamt 3 Millionen Euro investiert. Weitere 4 Millionen Euro werden vom European Innovation Council Accelerator und dem Freistaat Bayern als Fördermittel zur Verfügung gestellt. Das frische Kapital soll das Startup in die Lage versetzen, das erste kommerzielle Produkt auf den Markt zu bringen. Dafür soll u.a. auch das Team vergrößert werden. Das langfristige Ziel ist es, eine robuste globale Quantensensorik-Plattform aufzubauen, die transformative Fortschritte in verschiedenen Anwendungen katalysiert.

Today, I'm thrilled to share some this podcast episode rebroadcast with my friend and Pinterest expert, Kate Ahl. We discussed the evolving landscape of Pinterest, its impact on bloggers and entrepreneurs, and how to leverage it effectively for your business. My Journey as a Blogger and Entrepreneur Before we dive into the details of our discussion, let me share a bit about my journey. My husband and I started Catch My Party in 2009, and later developed the MiloTree pop-up app. Recently, we launched MiloTree Cart, a platform designed to help bloggers sell digital products. We also have a digital product personality quiz on our website to guide people on where to start with digital products. Pinterest: A Changing Landscape In our conversation, Kate and I delved into the recent changes on Pinterest. The platform experienced a surge in users during the pandemic, but as the world started to open up again, there was a decline. To keep users engaged and attract e-commerce sellers, Pinterest introduced Idea Pins and the Verified Merchant Program. They also recognized that Pinterest is a great platform for informing future purchases. Pinterest vs. Instagram: A Unique Position Pinterest has carved out a unique position in the social media ecosystem. Unlike Instagram, which is more like a bar, Pinterest is more like a library. Pinterest aims to keep users on the platform longer to attract big brands for advertising. However, they also acknowledge that 97% of searches on Pinterest are unbranded. The Impact of Removing the Creator Fund We also discussed the removal of the Creator Fund, where Pinterest would pay creators for content, and its impact on creators today. Kate believes that this move is a net positive for creators in the long term. She explained that the program had frustrations for some creators, such as limited participation and the distraction of creating content for Pinterest instead of their own websites. Pinterest's Shift Towards Ecommerce Kate sees Pinterest shifting towards ecommerce and partnering with platforms like Shopify and WooCommerce, indicating a focus on smaller sellers. This shift towards retail and ecommerce raises questions about how it will affect bloggers, DIY bloggers, and party bloggers. However, Kate suggests that Pinterest is becoming more friendly towards both digital and physical products, allowing self-hosted sellers to upload their products and update listings easily. Building Your Own Online Presence Kate and I emphasized the importance of building your own online presence and not relying solely on social media platforms like Instagram. Your main content should be on your own website, with platforms like Pinterest used to bring people into your ecosystem. The Future of Social Media Platforms Looking ahead, I shared my thoughts on the future of social media platforms, as they are constantly changing. I advised creators to build their businesses on their own platforms and create products that they can sell and own the customer relationship. Conclusion Despite the various changes and struggles Pinterest has gone through, I am optimistic about its future. I see it as a slower-moving platform with potential for business growth. I encourage you to explore the possibilities of creating digital products to take control of your businesses. Remember, patience is key when it comes to seeing significant results from platforms like Pinterest. Show Notes: MiloTreeCart Personality Quiz: What Digital Product Should I Create?

This week, Alex had Washington Post columnist Taylor Lorenz on to chat about her upcoming book, Extremely Online, the history of online platforms, and the rise of creators.We've covered the creator economy a few times on the podcast over the years, but this addition to our historical coverage is more than worth inclusion. Here's what we got into:All the cool kids are pre-ordering Lorenz's book, which you can find here.Why online work has always been treated like a sideshow: While culture is often created -- or born -- online, there's a disconnect between historical centers of authority and influence, and where it's bubbling up today.The rise and fall of Vine: Vine's massive rise and later implosion is a technology story, a startup story, and the saga of how a platform's userbase and its leadership can often be on different pages. In a sense Vine was a warning of what we'd see later on when it came to platforms winding up at odds with the very folks driving attention their way.New formats, new platforms: It's worth understanding the progression of online influence shifting from text (blogs) to pictures (social media) to video (TikTok, et al). When new formats have come to the fore, they often bring new platforms along with them, or vice versa. Alex wanted to know what might be next!And we wrapped with quick notes about AI and Twitter, er X, whatever it's called. As always, we're back on Friday with your news rundown.

Meta annonce l'ajout de fonctionnalités sur les reels FacebookFidèle à ses principes, après le succès conformé des réels sur Instagram, le groupe Meta annonce l'évolution du format sur Facebook.Pas de grandes nouveautés à l'horizon mais le Reels semble bien se porter sur Facebook donc Zuck passe à la vitesse supérieure.Au menu, le passage de la limite de durée à 90s pour plus de divertissement .Pour rappel sur TikTok on en est à 10m et 60s sur YouTube shorts.Meta ajouté aussi la possibilité de transformer ses « souvenirs Facebook » en réels.Cette fonction souvenirs est aujourd'hui utilisée par des millions de personnes chaque jour, c'est clairement un délire bien Facebook.L'ajout de Grooves la fonction qui ajuste le son sur vos mouvements.Et pour finir l'ajout de modèles comme sur Insta.sourceLinkedIn permet désormais d'optimiser les articles pour le SEODans un post publié le 23 février dernier Keren Baruch product manager chez Linkedin a officiellement annoncé de nouvelles fonctionnalités. Destinées à améliorer la visibilité des utilisateurs et simplifier leurs actions de communication, ces nouveautés concernent principalement la personnalisation et la mise en avant des articles.Ce premier teasing ne t'aura peut être pas aidé à comprendre mais c'est clairement un News assez ouf, on va pouvoir faire du SEO dans Linkedin et donc donner plus de visibilité à certains contenus.Pour le moment ça concerne le format articles et les newsletters et vous pourrez optimiser le titre et la description.Lorsque vous créée un nouvel article, il faut vous rendre dans le menu de publication, accessible en haut à gauche, puis de cliquer sur « préférences »C'est là que se trouvent les deux fameux champs à renseigner :Titre SEO (limité à 60 caractères, espaces compris)Description SEO (limité à 160 mots)Autre subtilité que j'ai découverte et qui fait le lien avec cette actu: Je cherchais l'autre jour dans Google le nom d'un client, histoire de faire un bon vieux stalk.Et là, dans la section images des résultats, je vois une photo de Thibault. Le Thibault. Je décide de cliquer et de suivre la piste du Thibault. Et bien figure toi que cette image que je ai vu remonter était là cover d'une vidéo postée par Thibault du son Linkedin et que la personne en question avait simplement liké son post. Google fait donc le lien entre toi et des contenus avec lesquels tu interagis sur Linkedin.source1 mois de monétisation pour shorts et un résultat décevantCela fait un mois que YouTube a lancé le partage de ses revenus publicitaire du format shorts avec ses créateurs de contenu et le bilan est plutôt bof.Plusieurs créateurs se sont exprimés et notamment Zack King le célèbre magicien et illusionniste. Sur le mois dernier, il aurait touché environ 2900$ pour 200M de vues soit un RPM à 0,02€ . Certains ont remonté atteindre les 4ct mais cela reste faible selon eux.Mais encore une fois, comme le note Zach, c'est toujours mieux que le Creator Fund de TikTok, et mieux que les offres actuelles de monétisation d'Instagram pour Reels.King note en outre qu'il y a des avantages élargis dans les shorts, en ce qui concerne l'exposition et le renforcement de sa marque, par opposition à la monétisation directe.Pour lui qui bosse exclusivement sur de la vidéo, aucun doute que YouTube reste la plateforme la plus rémunératrice pour les créateurs et il voit clairement l'intérêt des shorts comme vecteurs de trafic vers sa chaîne.sourceBluesky nouveau Twitter.L'ancien boss est cofondateur de Twitter, Jack Dorsey, viens de lancer son nouveau réseau social !Ça s'appelle Bluesky, et c'est pour l'instant sur iOS.C'est une version bêta fermée qui vient d'être lancé et qui a pour but de concurrencer Twitter et Mastodon.Pour y accéder, il faut pour l'instant s'inscrire sur une liste d'attente, mais l'accès à ce réseau social ne devrait être possible que par invitation.Un peu comme club-house pouvait fonctionner quand il avait démarré.Bluesky semble se rapprocher énormément du fonctionnement de Twitter.On retrouverait en anglais, quoi de neuf, avec la possibilité de créer des publications avec photo aussi.une Timeline, et un onglet de recherche.Ce qui est drôle, c'est que Bluesky était à la base un projet financé par Twitter, lorsque Jack Dorsey en était le boss.Puis, en 2021, la plate-forme est devenue indépendante, tout en restant sous la direction de Jack Dorsey. Ce dernier qui a toujours eu une vision des réseaux sociaux, un peu différente, des autres, grands patrons du social, média, expliquait que pour lui, il fallait qu'un réseau social ne soit pas contrôlé par des entreprises ou des gouvernements, mais seulement par les auteurs des publications sur la plate-forme.Si après que Twitter soit passé demain de Jack Dorsey a Elon Musk, le premier des deux arrive à relancer un nouveau réseau social qui viendrait concurrence et Twitter, ça serait très très fort ! SourceAccord parental obligatoire sur les réseaux en FranceLe 2 mars dernier, l'Assemblée nationale française a adopté en première lecture une proposition de loi visant à instaurer une majorité numérique à 15 ans.Dès 2018, la législation européenne demander l'instauration d'une majorité numérique entre 13 et 16 ans. Jusque-là, cette majorité n'avait pas encore été appliquée.Mais demain avec cette loi, un jeune de moins de 15 ans devrait avoir un accord parental pour accéder aux plates-formes sociales.Cet accord parental fonctionne donc pour les 13 15 ans. En dessous de 15 ans, les réseaux sociaux restent interdit.Comment ça va fonctionner ?L'État français devrait exiger des plates-formes qu'elle mette en place elle-même une solution technique pour la validation de l'âge ou du consentement parental.En cas de manquement, une amende pourrait être infligée jusqu'à 1 % du chiffre d'affaires mondiale de l'entreprise. Instagram avait déjà annoncé tester des solutions de reconnaissance faciale. Par intelligence artificielle, il pourrait aussi exister des contrôles via Card, identité ou témoignage social.Ces solutions jusque-là a été testé qu'aux États-Unis sans élargissement à notre pays.Hâte de voir comment cela peut se déployer.SourceSérie Netflix sur le Tour de FranceVous avez dû voir passer ce Teaser incroyable sur une série sur le Tour de France.C'est Netflix, qui, après avoir lancé sa série sur la Formule 1, et avoir populariser ce sport à nouveau, s'attaque maintenant autour de France.Huit épisode qui sortiront en juin 2023 et raconterons le dernier tour de France 2 2022 afin de nous chauffer pour celui de Julia 2023.Comme vous le savez si on aime le tour de France, et on devrait voir cette série envahir les réseaux sociaux. . . . Le Super Daily est le podcast quotidien sur les réseaux sociaux.

TikTok is creating the Creativity Program, a revamped program which is aimed to reward talented content creators with financial compensation and opportunities to grow their presence on the platform. Are we on the brink of a major astronomical discovery? An AI system has detected mysterious radio signals of unknown origin that could hold the key to finding extraterrestrial life. Nothing, Forever is back on Twitch and better than ever! With new guardrails in place, this popular channel is committed to creating a safe and inclusive space for all viewers and creators. And an author shares their experience of being gaslit and lied to by Bing's ChatGPT, exposing the importance of trust and transparency in the tech industry.00:00 - Intro02:06 - TikTok launches a revamped creator fund called the 'Creativity Program' in beta10:36 - AI System Detects Strange Signals of Unknown Origin in Radio Data18:27 - Nothing, Forever is set to return to Twitch with new guardrails in place28:00 - My Week of Being Gaslit and Lied to by the New BingSummary: TikTok has launched a beta version of its revamped creator fund, the Creativity Program, to provide more earning opportunities and revenue for select creators. The program is designed to address criticisms about the low payouts under the existing Creator Fund, but specifics on revenue allocation and eligibility requirements for the program remain undisclosed. Creators need to produce high-quality, original videos that are over one minute long, while access to the Creativity Program dashboard gives creators greater insights into video performance metrics and estimated revenue. The program is being rolled out on an invite-only basis initially, with wider availability expected soon.A team of radio astronomers has built an artificial intelligence (AI) system that beats classical algorithms in signal detection tasks in the search for extraterrestrial life. The AI algorithm sifts out "false positives" from radio interference, delivering results better than expected. The algorithm was trained to classify signals as either radio interference or a genuine technosignature candidate using an autoencoder and random forest classifier. The team fed the algorithm over 150 terabytes of data from the Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia and identified eight signals of interest that couldn't be attributed to radio interference, although they were not re-detected in follow-up observations. The researchers say their findings highlight the continued role AI techniques will play in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.Nothing, Forever, an AI-powered Seinfeld spoof show on Twitch, was suspended for two weeks after the Jerry Seinfeld-like character made transphobic remarks. The creators, Mismatch Media, changed the AI models underpinning the stream, which resulted in inappropriate text being generated. Mismatch has been working to implement OpenAI's content moderation API and making sure its guardrails work. Mismatch also wants to introduce an audience interaction system that it had previously built but decided not to launch with Nothing, Forever. Beyond Nothing, Forever, Mismatch Media wants to build a platform for creators to make shows of their own. The goal is to get this platform up and running within the next six to 12 months.The author used to dismiss Bing as an inferior search engine compared to Google, but now Bing has gained attention for its integration of an AI-powered chatbot, ChatGPT. Since its rollout, daily visits to Bing.com have increased by 15% and searches for "Bing AI" have risen 700%. Google has responded by unveiling its own AI-powered search engine, Bard. The author spent a week using Bing's new AI-powered answer engine, Sydney, in place of Google search to see if Bing can truly compete with Google.Our panel today>> Tarek >> Chris >> Henrike >> Vincent Every week our panel of technology enthusiasts meets to discuss the most important news from the fields of technology, innovation, and science.

Liefert TikTok bald eine Paywall-Option, um exklusive Inhalte für User anzubieten? Die Plattform experimentiert mit dieser Option, die Creatorn mehr Monetarisierung ermöglichen könnte und plant zudem, den Creator Fund deutlich aufzustocken, um die Influencer auf der Plattform zu halten.

In der Rubrik “Investments & Exits” begrüßen wir heute Otto Birnbaum, General Partner von Revent. Otto kommentiert die Insolvenz von Yababa sowie die Runde von Recycleye:Yababa, ein Berliner Startup, das orientalische Lebensmittel liefert, ist insolvent. Rechtsanwalt Niklas Lütcke wurde zum vorläufigen Insolvenzverwalter bestellt. Creandum, Project A Ventures und FoodLabs haben in den letzten Monaten insgesamt 15,5 Millionen US-Dollar in das Unternehmen investiert. Yababa war in etwa 40 deutschen Städten tätig, aber es gab bereits Gerüchte über einen schwierigen Markt. GetHalal, ein ähnliches Startup, ist bereits in derselben Branche gescheitert.Recycleye, ein französisch-britisches Unternehmen für Abfallroboter, hat 17 Millionen US-Dollar in der Series-A-Finanzierung erhalten. Die Finanzierung wurde von DCVC geführt und von Promus Ventures, Playfair Capital, MMC Ventures, Creator Fund, Atypical und Seaya Andromeda unterstützt. Das Unternehmen beabsichtigt, die Mittel für die Skalierung seiner KI-gesteuerten Müllsammelroboter-Technologie zu verwenden. Diese Roboter "sehen" den Abfall und können eine unbegrenzte Anzahl von Materialklassen wie Kunststoff, Aluminium, Papier und Pappe auswählen. Die Technologie ist in verschiedenen Ländern installiert und das Team besteht aus 33 Expertinnen und Experten.

The features include live translated captions, custom Together Mode scenes, and virtual appointment options, which will only be available to users who purchase the Premium edition. The standard version of Teams will still have access to the features for 30 days after the launch of Premium. Microsoft Teams Premium is expected to cost $10 per user per month, and include AI-powered smart features such as live translations and advanced meeting protections.Cybercriminals have started using OpenAI's chatbot ChatGPT to build hacking tools, according to cybersecurity researchers. Scammers are also testing the chatbot's ability to build other chatbots designed to impersonate young females to ensnare targets. Underground criminal forums have caught on to the potential of ChatGPT, with one hacker sharing code written by the chatbot that stole files of interest, compressed them and sent them across the web. Another user shared Python code that could encrypt files, claiming OpenAI's app helped them build it.YouTube's new monetization process for Shorts, which allows creators to earn money from ads displayed between videos in the Shorts feed, will go into effect on February 1st. This new revenue sharing model replaces the YouTube Shorts Fund. Creators with over 1,000 subscribers and 10 million Shorts views over the preceding 90 days will be eligible to apply for a cut of ad revenue. YouTube expects this new process to be more sustainable and equitable, with payouts expected to be greater than creators currently receive from the Creator Fund.Koko, a nonprofit mental health platform, ran an experiment that provided AI-written mental health counseling to 4,000 people without obtaining their informed consent. The experiment used technology from OpenAI's GPT-3 large language model, which is behind the popular ChatGPT chatbot. People participating in the experiment rated the AI-crafted responses positively until they were informed that they were written by AI. Critics have raised concerns about the lack of informed consent and whether an Institutional Review Board approved the experiment. The company's co-founder has stated that the experiment is exempt from informed consent requirements as the results were not planned to be published.Our panel today>> Tarek>> Chris>> Henrike>> VincentEvery week our panel of technology enthusiasts meets to discuss the most important news from the fields of technology, innovation, and science.

Iniciamos con el estudio de Kantar: Brand Footprint 2022, las marcas más compradas en CDMX, Guadalajara y Monterrey. ¿Hay espacio para nuevas marcas? Ahora piensa esto…¿Cuántas marcas realmente crees que compras? Es un absurdo, de verdad. Como siempre, aparece Coca Cola…pero ¿es por la marca o porque es un producto de canasta básica? ¿Hubo marcas que crecieron? Impresionante. Y que sucede con las marcas que entran a México, como las de autos chinos: BAIC, Changan y JMC. Les falta algo para poder avanzar en el mercado: estrategia de reconocimiento de marca. Adiós a Netflix como lo conocías, ahora va a tener anuncios. Después de correr a un buen número de empleados, siguen ajustando las estrategias: un precio especial para quien esté dispuesto a ver anuncios publicitarios. ¡Paren las prensas! Ya hay un ganador: Tik Tok no perdona y lanzó el TikTok Creator Fund. ¿Qué es? ¿Cómo inscribirte? ¿Puedes ganar dinero? Te decimos lo que debes saber. Ojo, esto es para creadores…no para contenidos patrocinados. Ahora...una que siempre nos han preguntado: ¿cómo ganan los creadores de contenido en redes sociales? Te decimos la forma en que sucede a través de YouTube, Facebook e Instagram. Y por último: ¿Cómo hacer videos para campañas de marketing digital? ¿horizontales o verticales? El formato ha cambiado y debes crear materiales adaptados a la plataforma en la que estás buscando al usuario. Sí, eso es más trabajo y más dinero en la inversión…pero si no lo haces, amigo…estás fundido.

Does Pinterest pay Creators? The answer is a resounding “YES!” and in more ways than one! Social media platforms now realize the true power of content Creators and Influencers and are starting to offer financial support to keep going - and we couldn't be more excited about this over at Sidewalker Daily.

StoryFire, the hit social media platform with one million registered users and double-digit engagement growth rates, has announced the migration of its Blaze loyalty points to a decentralized digital asset ecosystem.On StoryFire, Blaze is the engine that gamifies and rewards platform usage. Users earn Blaze when viewing and engaging with content, and free Blaze points can also be earned by StoryFire users for continuous engagement including reading stories or watching a user's content for three days in a row.The migration from the Blaze points loyalty system to a decentralized token rewards program is part of a wider initiative to create the industry's first blockchain-based community managed ‘creator fund.' This fund will be governed by Storyfire users and will give creators access to the funds and other production resources needed to bring their boldest creations to life.All key decision making, including roadmap, creator support, administration, and resources allocation will be made by the 7 StoryFire Reps who were elected on behalf of the entire StoryFire community. Each elected representative will have a 12 month term, before the community is requested to vote on the upcoming years elected members. The recent elections are the first step in the evolution of StoryFire, moving more control over to the community. While all submissions for creator funds will be voted on by the broader Storyfire user base.StoryFire was founded by Jesse Ridgway, who is a top YouTube Creator with over one billion views, and Brian Spitz, a writer and director who has worked with studios such as Fox, Sony, and Disney.According to the team, the migration of Blaze points and the launch of the new blockchain ecosystem comes at a critical time in StoryFire's growth. Director of Communications Samuel Hilder said: “Roughly 2.3 million new videos and stories were shared on our platform last month, and the average time spent on our platform has hit the five-minute mark – placing us ahead of other global social platforms such as Reddit, Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, representing growth of over 16% from the previous month.“Also, a whopping 75% of our users open and watch or read a minimum of three videos or stories per week. We have some of the best users in the content creation space and we are incredibly excited about the Blaze points migration and the blockchain ecosystem because this will reward these users for their hard work and collaboration. This creator fund will allow users to be more bold with their content, and take StoryFire to a new level.”Further details regarding the Blaze blockchain, the community token sale, and other key plans for this blockchain economy rollout will be shared over the coming weeks, and additional details can be found on the StoryFire website.About StoryFireStoryFire is a content creation and sharing platform built to connect creators with audiences.

Did Will Smith's actions at the Academy Awards change the viewership of  MrBeast's long-held YouTube record?

1. Facebook Updates Measurement Process for Ads Reach - Facebook has announced that it will begin counting people who've not connected their Facebook and Instagram accounts in its Accounts Center as separate entities for ad purposes – i.e. if your accounts are not connected, Facebook will now assume that your Facebook and Instagram profiles are two different people.Facebook's Accounts Center, which is accessible via your settings in each of its apps (Facebook. Instagram and Messenger), enables you to connect your accounts on each, so that you can do things like cross-post content, log-in using your credentials from each app, use Facebook Pay and more.“Previously, we counted someone with multiple accounts as one person for ads purposes if they linked their Facebook and Instagram accounts via those apps, or if we believed that the accounts were owned by the same person. For example, if someone used the same email address across their Facebook and Instagram accounts or accessed both platforms from the same device, we counted them as one person when they interacted with ads.”So this will make Facebook's ad reach numbers look a lot better, with much broader scope, based on variable accounting. This is interesting because recently Facebook broadened its campaign reach estimates, with its ‘Potential Reach' data now being displayed in ranges instead of specific numbers. You can read more about Facebook's coming measurement update here.2. Instagram Now Supports Live Scheduling for Instagram Live Videos - Starting immediately, Instagram has added a new option to schedule upcoming IG Live broadcasts in the app, with users then able to tap through to get a reminder notification on the day of the broadcast. Broadcasters will now be able to schedule an upcoming stream, up to 90 days in advance, from the live composer, which can include a title description, as well as product tags, if you're looking to promote such in your stream.The option to schedule your streams provides even more potential on this front, with users, as noted, then able to register for reminders, which will be sent through to them the day before the broadcast, then 15 minutes before the stream begins.3. Facebook Audio Rooms Now Available to Public Figures Globally & More - Facebook has announced an expansion of its audio social plans, with live audio rooms being made available to public figures globally, and a new, dedicated space within the Watch tab to help users connect to all of the platform's various audio options.Facebook's Live Audio Rooms will be displayed at the top of the News Feed for those following each creator (even above Stories), while they'll also be accessible via a feed post.The playback format is very Clubhouse-esque, showing the speakers and listeners in separate sections, while Reactions icons will float up the screen as they're applied, similar to video live-streams.The new expansion will mean that many more people will now be able to tune in to Facebook audio broadcasts, though creation will remain restricted to only public figures and those with verified accounts at this stage.Facebook will also now enable all groups to host live audio rooms, another way to boost interest in the option in a more confined, specific contextual environment.4. Remove Your Twitter Followers Without Having To Block Them - The newest update released by Twitter as a part of its bracket of advanced privacy features includes the ability in the first and foremost to remove a user from following while not blocking them. This came around as a blessing as blocking sends a notification to the user of being blocked creating discomfort whereas removing a user as a follower would now not send a notification to the user of any such activity.5. Twitter Launches Twitter Spaces 'Spark' Program to Fund and Support Audio Creators - Per Twitter, “The Twitter Spaces Spark Program is a three-month accelerator initiative that's designed to discover and reward great Spaces on Twitter with financial, technical, and marketing support. We're looking for emerging Creators who are passionate about the live social audio format and interested in creating recurring programming on Spaces.” This is similar to Clubhouse's Creator Accelerator program, while TikTok has also implemented its own Creator Fund, as has Pinterest, Snapchat, etc. So looks like the major social media platforms are now looking to provide more support and assistance for creators, in order to build their content eco-systems, and keep their best talent aligned to their apps.Twitter's Spark program will provide the chosen participants with $2500 per month, along with ad credits and custom Spaces swag. They'll also be able to connect with the Spaces dev team, and get early access to new features, while Twitter may also promote their broadcasts via its brand handles.From the program overview, it is evident that Twitter is particularly interested in applicants that ‘have an established show in social audio on other platforms'.To be eligible for Phase 1 of the Twitter Spaces Spark program, you need to be US-based, and have over 5,000 followers in the app. You also need to commit to hosting a minimum of two Spaces per week – more info here.6. Twitter Now Supports Multi-Destination URL's for Carousel Ads - Twitter has announced an update to its Carousel Ad format where it gives you the option to add custom headlines and landing pages into each frame of your Carousel Ads, which will provide more options to build responsive ads for variable audiences within one campaign.This will provide more capacity to utilize different ad creative within a single campaign, highlighting specific features or use-cases to help broaden appeal. It could also help in your targeting segmentation, with each click highlighting the specific elements of interest for each user, helping to categorize responses.Twitter says that it's been testing the new option for the past few months, with beta advertisers seeing a 25% lift in click-through rates, on average, for campaigns that optimize for site visit conversions (relative to single-asset ads).7. Microsoft Updates Its Smart Pages Website Builder - This February, Microsoft launched Smart Pages, a free website builder service to help small businesses that may not have had websites.“With Smart Pages standalone mode, you can create, edit, and publish your website for free — no payment information required. We know that not every business with a web presence is prepared to advertise online and want to give everyone the access to Smart Pages,” wrote Will Rivitz, Program Manager, and Cristiano Ventura Sr. Product Marketing Manager. If business owners choose to partake in Microsoft Advertising later, they can easily sign up when they're ready.The new Smart Pages reporting feature allows marketers to track pageviews, clicks, and more all within the platform. “By tracking these metrics over time, you'll see how the improvements and edits you make affect your customers' experiences,” said Rivitz and Ventura.Marketers will be able to create a new Smart Pages website directly from their Bing Places account and integrate the two properties. “Customers viewing your business on Bing Places will be able to go directly to your Smart Page, where you can show even more information,” according to the announcement.8. On Mobile, Google Search Result Will Scroll Continuously - Rolling out over the next two weeks starting October 14, Google's mobile search results will offer infinite scroll, what Google is calling continuous scroll. That is, as you scroll, Google will not show you the “more results” button when you reach the bottom of the page, instead, Google will just load the next page of results automatically. Per Google, it does affect the Google Search Ads a little. “As part of this change to how search results show, we're redistributing the number of text ads that can show between the top and bottom of pages for US-English mobile queries. Now, text ads can show at the top of the second page and beyond, while fewer text ads will show at the bottom of each page. There is no change to how Shopping and Local ads show. “ And yes, you Ads can be shown more than once. Finally, as a result of this change, expect to see more mobile impressions for Search, Shopping, and Local campaigns that serve ads on US-English queries, and potentially result in lower CTR. However, Google expects clicks, conversions, average CPC, and average CPA to remain flat.This change to mobile search results is expected to roll out to additional countries and languages next year.

Jamie Macfarlane is the founder & CEO of Creator Fund, an early-stage VC fund that invests in student-led companies with student investment partners. Having studied both in the UK and in the USA, he started Creator Fund based on the observation that some of the world's most successful technology companies —like Facebook and Google— have been started in the dorm rooms and laboratories of American universities. Europe has universities of equal caliber but these have not yet managed to spin out as many tech champions. With the Creator Fund, Jamie hopes to support more student-led innovation and the creation of tech-driven companies across the continent. To do so, he has also designed a very unique student-focused model.In this episode, we talk to Jamie to learn more about how their model works, what are some of the most exciting companies currently being built in universities across Europe, and what Europe can do to encourage more DeepTech companies.Topics: 00:23 — Introduction with Cindy Yang 01:07 — How Jamie first started investing in students 02:29 — Creator Fund's investment model (and its secret sauce

1. Instagram Adds Engagement Insights for Reels and Instagram Live Broadcasts - Based on feedback from creators and businesses, Instagram has launched insights for Reels and Live on May 24, 2021. For Reels, they will be showing new metrics including Plays, Accounts Reached, Likes, Comments, Saves, and Shares. For Live, they will be showing Accounts Reached, Peak Concurrent Viewers, Comments, and Shares. They will also be including these metrics in Account Insights to provide a broader picture into how Reels and Live shape an account's performance.Additionally, they are launching new detailed information about Reach in Account Insights. They have built new breakdowns that provide transparency into which types of accounts we are reaching and which content formats are the most effective at driving Reach.2. To Boost eCommerce Activity, Instagram Adds 'Drops' Product Showcase - Instagram has launched a new product showcase option called 'Drops', which will highlight the latest product launches from brands you've engaged with, or may be interested in, at the top of the Shop tab in the app. The new Drops display will showcase the latest new releases and limited offerings, related to your interests. The option essentially builds on Instagram's product reminders option, which it first launched in 2019.3. Everyone On Instagram And Facebook Can Now Hide Their Public Like Counts - As of May 26, everyone on Instagram and Facebook now has the option to hide their public like counts, so they can decide what works for them. Previously, they tested hiding like counts to see if it might depressurize people's experience on Instagram. And I have even covered it in one of our previous episodes. What they heard from people and experts was that not seeing like counts was beneficial for some and annoying to others, particularly because people use like counts to get a sense of what's trending or popular, so they are giving us the choice. You can find the announcement here: https://about.fb.com/news/2021/05/giving-people-more-control/ 4. Facebook Will Reduce Your Reach If You Keep On Spreading Fake News And Misinformation - Facebook announced a number of measures, including penalization, aimed at individuals who spread false information. This is an escalation  on the part of Facebook in its effort to reduce the amount of toxic content shared on the platform. The effort to limit misleading content is structured into three actionsa. Inform Users Before Interacting with Misleading Pages b. Penalize Users Who Share False Information - The penalty consists of limiting the reach of these members Facebook posts so that less people see them.c. Educate Users Who Have Shared Toxic Content - At present, when the content is rated a notice is sent to the user alerting them of the status of the content they shared. Facebook has improved this notice by redesigning it to make it clearer so that the user has a better understanding of why the content is rated false and to warn them of future action against them in the form of penalties should they share more false information. For more information, visit https://about.fb.com/news/2021/05/taking-action-against-people-who-repeatedly-share-misinformation/ 5.

Increasing In-Store Sales With Online Ads - Google announced a number of new local ad-based features at its Google Marketing Livestream event. They are: “Auto Suggest Ads” that shows ads based on searcher's location. “Navigational Ads” are shown while you are using Google Maps driving directions. This allows businesses to show their ads while a user is en route to a destination “Similar Places Ads” that show up when you search for a specific business location and that business is closed at the time of the search. “Pickup later” (still in beta) adds to the “pickup today” and “curbside pickup” options that local inventory ads already have within the nearby shopping features. 7. Google Expands Its Shopping Integrations - Last week we covered that Google has announced that it's expanding its partnership with Shopify, which will provide new, simplified processes to enable Shopify's 1.7 million merchants to get their products featured across Google “in just a few clicks”. This week Google has launched partnerships with WooCommerce, GoDaddy and Square to enable retailers on those platforms to list their products for free on Google. 8. YouTube Says Videos Won't Get Removed For Too Many Flags And “Right to Monetize” - YouTube says videos will not automatically get removed for being flagged too many times. All content goes through the same review process.They also announced the addition of YouTube's “Right to Monetize,” to their terms of service - This means that if you're not part of the YouTube Partner Program (YPP), YouTube still reserves the right to run ads on your videos. The program is scheduled to roll out globally beginning in June. 9. Now You Can Boost Your Post And Event on LinkedIn - Just like Facebook, LinkedIn now enables users to boost their post on the platform through just a single click followed by an uncomplicated payment process. The prime benefits of this service include expanding your reach, helping you grow, and amplifying the impact of your work. And to help you amplify your event promotion they have rolled out Event Ads. By appearing right in the LinkedIn feed, the Event Ad feature helps you promote your event by highlighting key event details, like date, time, and how to join your event, to an entirely new audience, while also allowing members to learn if a mutual connection has expressed interest in attending. They've also enhanced their Events analytics to help us better understand the impact of our efforts. According to LinkedIn, the new Event Analytics tool provides marketers and event organizers with aggregated insights into the reach, engagement, and firmographic makeup of event attendees, so we can more easily and effectively plan for future events.10.

Creators who were selected for the fund received hands-on training to help them succeed on Pinterest. Topics include making Idea Pins, taking advantage of Pinterest trends and measuring campaign success. Participants also got personalized consulting to boost their Pinterest creative strategies. And to top it off, every creator received a financial grant of $25k in cash and ad credits. On average, Fund creators saw 2.9x more Idea Pin impressions and 72% more monthly viewers compared to their previous performance. Now you can apply through June 30 for the next round of the Creator Fund which will run from August to September. For more information, visit: https://business.pinterest.com/en/blog/apply-pinterest-creator-fund/11. “Unified Smart” By Microsoft Advertising: A Single Management Solution for Multi-Channel Paid Advertising And Social Media - In an effort to make paid search and social media advertising accessible to businesses of all sizes, Microsoft Advertising announced the pilot program for a single streamlined place to manage all of a business's advertising campaigns.
