Being a creator-first business sounds great in theory, but it can be slow to grow! Today, I'm talking with Jay Clouse, who has been there, built that, and now runs one of the most respected businesses in the creator economy. But, it didn't happen overnight! In this episode, we talk about creating content, building an audience instead of attracting a crowd, and how to create sustainability in an evolving industry.   ⁠Join The Co-op – The Membership for Online Businesses⁠ Connect with Abagail⁠ ⁠ ⁠Instagram⁠⁠ ⁠ ⁠All the Links!⁠ Episode Highlights How Jay Started to Create About Creating [0:02:08]   Consistency: The Key to Creator Science's Success [0:05:55]  Earning Influence Over an Audience Through Trust [0:09:15]  Where You Can Actually Create Real Value Online [0:12:41] The Steady Drumbeat That Will Bring the Right People to You [0:17:50]  Jay's Funding Journey Before Monetizing His Newsletter [0:24:24]  Predictions for the Next Chapter [0:31:57]  Advice for Success in a Changing World [0:37:21] Our Advertiser: ⁠FreshBooks⁠ – Get 50% Off for 6 Months Thank you for listening!

Welcome back to Creator Science! In this solo episode, I'm inviting you directly into the whirlwind that is my mind these days. From the outside, it might look like I've got things under control—but as I share straight from my journal, the reality is a constant tug-of-war between where my energy wants to go and where my time needs to be spent. I open up about the challenges of juggling my main business, the demands of being a new dad, and my excitement (and uncertainty) around a big experiment: writing a book proposal. You'll hear my unfiltered reflections on feeling pulled toward deep, meaningful work—like research, writing, and evolving my community—while also handling the business operations that keep everything running. In this episode, I walk through the practical framework I've developed—concentrate, eliminate, consolidate, automate, and delegate—that's helping me re-evaluate how I spend my time and create space for what feels truly alive for me right now. I'll break down the tough choices, the things I'm letting go of (goodbye, social media expectations!), and my vision for building a stronger, more connected Creator Science community. If you're grappling with too many competing priorities or searching for ways to prioritize your highest-energy projects, this episode is for you. Join me as I process all of this in real time—because I suspect, as creators, you might be feeling some of these same tensions too. ⁠⁠Full transcript and show notes⁠⁠ *** TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Uncertain Book Proposal Journey 04:05 Balancing Book Project and Business 07:26 Balancing Time for Book and Lab 11:10 Follow Your Passion and Fitness 13:55 Focus on In-Person Experiences 19:24 "Reevaluating Social Media Dependency" 20:23 Rethinking Social Media Strategy 26:37 Community Coaching Sessions Live 27:32 "Hot Seat Podcasts Introduction" 31:06 Selective Sponsorship Criteria 35:52 Delegating Community Management Tasks 37:43 Sponsorship Strategy and Event Planning 40:53 "Embrace Trade-Offs and Compromises" *** RECOMMENDED NEXT EPISODE → ⁠⁠⁠⁠#251: Behind the Scenes: What I'm quietly working on⁠ *** ASK CREATOR SCIENCE → ⁠⁠Submit your question here⁠⁠ *** WHEN YOU'RE READY

In this episode, I'm recording for the first time in the brand-new Creator Science home studio. Kevin Shen's team came out and visited the house, put the finishing touches on setting up the studio and it is glorious. I'm so excited to have this just steps away every moment of the day to come down here and record. I feel like this is going to be truly life and business-changing. So, I thought this would be a great opportunity to do another listener Q&A episode.

In this episode, I explore how IRL events and social platforms have transformed the way we build relationships, create communities, and derive value from our connections. I'm pulling from my own experience and reflections from a few sources listed below.I'm sharing real world examples of the cost and potential revenue associated with building paid memberships and hosting in-person events as well as variations on the types of online communities that connect in real life.

Generate high-quality leads from a podcast each month: https://voics.kit.com/qualified-leadsMost creators fail before they even start.Why?Because they jump straight into creating content without a clear premise, strategy, or system.This week, I sat down with Jay Clouse for my second Dubai podcast. (And my second podcast with Jay.)Here's what we broke down:- How to build a profitable content business in 2025- Create a repeatable system that turns content into revenue- Avoid the #1 mistake keeping creators stuck in the hustleWhat we covered:- Your premise is your foundation.- If your content isn't legible, interesting, and differentiated, you'll struggle to stand out in the sea of creators.- Non-linear returns.- One well-executed piece of content can deliver a 10X or even 100X impact.- It's not about creating more content—it's about creating smarter content.- Focus on transformation, not just value.- Your content should solve real problems and create tangible results for your audience—not just add more noise.Jay shared why most creators fail to gain traction and revealed the systems he's built to scale his content and community without burning out.If you want to build a creator business in 2025, this podcast is for you.Connect with Jay Clouse: https://www.instagram.com/jayclouse/(00:00) Preview (00:40) Building Creator Science with Jay Clouse(01:14) Defining Your Premise as a Creator(03:08) Jay Clouse's Creator Framework(06:40) Why You Should Avoiding Niche Hopping(08:15) The Science-Driven Approach to Content Creation(12:32) The Evolution of YouTube's Algorithm(15:45) How to Optimize for Clicks(20:20) The Benefits of High-Quality Content(23:18) Audience Targeting: YouTube vs. Audio Podcast(25:14) Crafting the Perfect Titles and Thumbnails(31:20) Leveraging Email For Audience Engagement (36:18) Why Audio Podcast Listeners Are More Engaged(38:13) How to Build Personal Authority (41:36) How to Grow Communities (45:47) Connecting YouTube to Business Goals(50:26) The Power of Small Group Experiences(55:41) Pricing Strategies for Membership Growth(58:13) Scaling Communities Efficiently  Support the show

Jay shares insights on the underspoken art of packaging in content and its impact on performance. He also shares podcasting strategies, covering topics such as balancing scripting and spontaneity, effective interview techniques, and the importance of active listening.Today, we'll cover:- Jay's background and journey as a content creator and founder of Creator Science- The importance of email and social media in building audience ownership and discoverability- Strategies for creating engaging content across various platforms, including newsletters, podcasts, and YouTube- Tips for conducting effective podcast interviews and packaging episodes for maximum impact- Jay's diversified business model and how he leverages content for audience growth and product promotionWhat You'll Learn1.

So on YouTube, title, thumbnail, and kind of the idea that's inherent in those things. If you go to a bookstore, it's the title and the cover of the book, it's even the spine of the book. An email, it's the subject line. Audio podcast, it's the title of that episode. So, every form of content has some bit of packaging that you can think about or you can't think about. But if you do think about it, you're going to be more successful because if you intentionally design the package for that medium to be inherently clickable, compelling, where people are like, I need to know more about this, then it's going to be more successful as a piece of content. — Jay Clouse, 00:10:50 → 00:11:41Podcast Hosting and Active Listening: “To be a great interviewer, you really have to have good active listening skills. And so the act of prepping questions is more priming my own mind than it is like a structure that I have to follow. I'm very intentional about where I start, and I'm good at leading us to the area of discussion that I want. But often I would say at least half the questions that I asked were not, you know, quote unquote, prepped. They, they come from what happens. And I think, I think that's the right balance because even if you have a two display system, as I do here, if I have the interview doc on my right hand display and I have questions there, if I'm looking at that and trying to think about which one of these questions should I ask next, I'm not listening. And a guest is opening some door that inevitably I won't walk through. And as the listener of the final product, you're going to be saying, ‘Why didn't you follow up on this thing that person just said?' And the answer is, because you weren't listening. You were looking at your display.” — Jay Clouse, 00:21:42 → 00:22:42Show notes powered by Castmagic---Have any questions about the show or topics you'd like us to explore further?Shoot us a DM; we'd love to hear from you.Want the weekly TL;DR of tips delivered to your mailbox?Check out our newsletter here.Follow us for content, clips, giveaways, & updates!Castmagic InstagramCastmagic TwitterCastmagic LinkedIn  ---Blaine Bolus - Co-Founder of CastmagicRamon Berrios - Co-Founder of CastmagicJay Clouse - Founder of Creator Science

Mike Michalowicz is the author of Profit First, which is used by hundreds of thousands of companies across the globe to drive profit – Creator Science is one of those companies. Profit First has helped me develop sound financials for my business. He's also the author of Clockwork, a powerful method to make any business run on automatic, and seven other books as well. With more than 500,000 book sales, all of Mike's books have the same goal – to help small business owners and eliminate what he calls “entrepreneurial poverty.” Simon Sinek has called Mike “…the top contender for the patron saint of entrepreneurs.” This conversation is divided into halves: The first half explores Mike's unique model as an author. For each book Mike writes, he partners with a third party to license the frameworks from his books and serve as the done-for-you service provider. This is super uncommon and part of why he's been so prolific while running a very lean team. So we dig into how that works (and what he'd do differently if he were starting over today). The second half of the conversation is all about writing books. Mike has published nine books since 2008 – including 7 in the last 8 years. So we dig into how he determines what ideas to turn into books and how to write them so quickly.

This episode discusses the positive aspects of experiencing disappointment in creative work, emphasizing that striving for big goals, even if not fully achieved, is a sign of ambition and progress. The host shares a story highlighting the importance of setting smaller milestones to celebrate along the way, using Jay Clouse's experience with the Creator HQ launch as an example. The episode further explores three strategies for managing disappointment: goal bracketing, measuring what matters, and comparing efforts to past performance rather than others.

Welcome to a bonus episode of Creator Science. A couple of months ago, I got a direct message on Twitter from Ali Abdaal. He said he loved what I was doing with The Lab, my membership community, and he had heard great things about the experience. He was in the early stages of building his own membership community, coincidentally called Productivity Lab, and he wanted to ask me some questions. He suggested that we record the episode as a coaching call for his podcast Deep Dive, and I thought it was a great idea. So we spoke for a little bit over an hour, and I helped him think through how he was designing this new membership.

Earlier this month, I launched a brand new product called CreatorHQ. The way I've come to describe CreatorHQ is a complete operating system for creators – it's literally the system I've built for myself in Notion to run the entire Creator Science business. I use CreatorHQ every day. It houses all my goals, projects, tasks, content, CRM, sponsorship campaigns – everything! This episode was prepared in CreatorHQ. It's the glue that keeps my business together and keeps the trains running. And I knew if I made it available for other creators, it'd help you too. So I launched this on April 11 and had some bonuses available for those who purchased before April 15. It was my first true LAUNCH of something, and I put a lot of time and effort into it. Between April 11 and April 15, CreatorHQ generated $60,723.

For this audio episode, we are going to dive into questions that I got from the lab, from Instagram, from LinkedIn, Twitter, and threads. Now this is actually a part 2. The first half of these questions I recorded in video format with my producer, Connor. We took a lot of the questions from YouTube and about YouTube and we prioritize those for a video episode on the channel. But before we get into that, I have a couple of things that I want to tell you. Thing #1, if you are not already subscribed to the Creator Science newsletter, please do so. You will like it. Almost 60,000 creators subscribed to it already. Thing #2, I've spent the last couple of months building a new product called Creator HQ. And this is a templatized version of my personal Notion setup that is how we run the entire creator science business. It's what we use for task management, content preparation, content publishing, content repurposing, and much more.

Today, we have a special guest, Jay Clouse, a seasoned creator and entrepreneur, here to share his wisdom and strategies in what we like to call 'The Creator MBA.' This episode is packed with actionable advice and tactical tips that every creator, regardless of their niche, can apply to their journey.

Justin Moore is a sponsorship coach and the founder of Creator Wizard, a school and community that teaches you how to find and negotiate your dream brand deals. Along with his wife, April, Justin has been a full-time creator for over 8 years and has personally made over $4,000,000 working with brands. He has also run an influencer agency for over 7 years that helped creators earn an additional $3,000,000. Now Justin brings a very unique perspective because not only has he been a creator in the trenches doing sponsorships for years, but by running an agency, he has insider knowledge behind how big brands choose which influencers to partner with and why they pass on others. The conversation you're about to hear is something we recorded for Justin's YouTube channel about a month ago. In 2023, Creator Science earned more than $100,000 in sponsorship alone, but I didn't really have a sponsorship strategy. So in this episode, we changed that completely. Justin helps me see where I'm leaving things on the table. Full transcript and show notes Sponsor Creator Science Justin's Website / YouTube / Twitter / Instagram / LinkedIn *** CONNECT

Jay Clouse, founder of Creator Science, is talking too loud about American Horror Story. Admittedly, he's several years late on this, but after watching the first couple of seasons, he thinks the storytelling is tremendous!

Spoiler alert: it was every bit as hilarious as the title suggests.Sylvie is talking too loud about seeing Merrily We Roll Along on Broadway and how at the end of this particular showing, Daniel Radcliff led the audience through an impromptu live auction. It was almost as riveting as the performance.

Imagine creating not one, not two, but THREE versions of every podcast episode you produce.That's what Jay Clouse does with Creator Science. See, last year he made the decision to make his podcast “YouTube-first,” which means focusing on video production, then mastering it for audio.If you produce a podcast, you already know that it's time-consuming. While Christina Nicholson showed us it doesn't have to take a lot of time for you personally, there's still a lot that goes into an episode.And Jay is creating a YouTube version, an audio version, and a separate Spotify video version. This is complicated by the fact that Jay's revenue model varies depending on the platform.But this work isn't for nothing! As we'll see, he's making a few long-term bets about the future of podcast content.

At INBOUND 2023, HubSpot's annual conference, JLD did a live, on-stage interview with Jay Clouse, host of Creator Science, all about the Creator Economy in 2024. Top 3 Value Bombs 1. Focus your content and your curation within your newsletters to be read by your listeners on a very consistent basis. 2. Producing a massive amount of content is under-hyped. A lot of people are scared of producing a lot of content because they think it'll oversaturate their listeners and get them to unsubscribe. 3. The higher the barrier, the lower the competition. When you can do something in this world, specifically in business, that's really hard to do - that's hard to replicate - the level of competition is going to be so much smaller.

Well, you're not alone in this dilemma. Naming your podcast can be a challenging task, but it's also a crucial one. Your podcast's name is the first thing potential listeners see, and it can make or break their decision to give your show a listen. In this post, we're going to take a deep dive into the art of podcast naming.The Importance of a Good Podcast NameFirst off, let's establish why it's so important to choose the right name for your podcast. A well-chosen name is not just easy to remember, but it's also engaging and gives potential listeners a glimpse into what your podcast is all about. Moreover, a well-thought-out name can leverage organic SEO, making your podcast easier to discover.The Dos and Don'ts of Podcast NamingFirstly, your podcast's name should be easy to read and understand. Imagine having a name that's so complex, it's impossible to pronounce- or worse, impossible for YOU to pronounce! Obviously, you wouldn't want that. Secondly, it's best to keep the name short. Short names are easier to remember and don't run the risk of being cut off on podcast platforms.Your podcast name should also be obvious. It should give potential listeners an idea of what your podcast is about. This way, they can make quick and accurate decisions about whether your show aligns with their interests.On the other hand, there are also things to avoid when naming your podcast. You should avoid being too vague in your podcast name. If you're unsure about your podcast's niche, it may be beneficial to do some brainstorming with your ideal listeners / community before finalizing your name.Another pitfall to avoid is using your name for your podcast. Using your name might not provide any clarity about the show's content unless you're already a well-known figure. Moreover, it's crucial to avoid copyright issues by not choosing a name that's already been used by another podcast.Resources mentioned in the episode:Let's work together to grow your podcast:https://bit.ly/PPodPartyEpisode page: https://www.thepodcastspace.com/podcast/25-what-makes-a-good-podcast-titleEpisode 7: The quickest way to determine if a podcast idea works for you (Brain-dumping)Episode 19: Podcast titles that can boost your downloads and mistakes to avoidJay Clouse's episode on Rebranding his podcast, Creator Science: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2LmEAjpNPcIAj1C0tULbRF?si=f5f62fa8c9e74bd1Social media course for Podcasters: https://bit.ly/3CsTtXgFeeling stuck?

When I was a first-time course creator in 2015, I was excited and scared at the same time. The tension around building fast or building thoughtfully was difficult to navigate. In today's session, I'm discussing three important questions that I wish I had asked myself back then. You'll Learn:3 questions to ask before launching your online course:Do I want a “strip mall or a skyscraper”? (This concept comes from a session with Nathan Barry of ConvertKit and Jay Klaus of Creator Science.)Both models require energy in different ways, and both have several benefits and challenges. The key question to ask: What do I want to optimize for?Why I have gone from a strip mall to a skyscraper modeWhere should I focus my marketing?Focus on one platform at a time.Remember that it takes time to build trust and rapport. How can I validate my online course?The secret is to validate with paying students each step of the way.Take a long-term view and grow slowly with care, intention, and thoughtfulness.

Jay Clouse is the founder of Creator Science, which is a membership, community, newsletter and podcast helping you become build a creator business, which he bootstrapped to over $40k a month towards the end of last year. His podcast is one of the best produced shows out there and it's on my very short list of shows that I can listen to every episode and know it's going to be killer. I think the creator business angle is interesting for indie hackers who haven't quite found a product yet and want to build something. Creating content and speaking to people in your niche, can help you find pain points and problems, while also building extra income for yourself.Timestamps 01:55 The Creative Elements podcast (now Creator Science) 04:45 How to have a point of differentiation 06:11 Building a creator business 08:23 Making $40k in one month 11:03 Multiple projects and revenue streams 13:10 How Jay spends his time 14:02 How to start out as a creator 15:19 Recommendations Recommendations Book - How to Win Friends and Influence People Podcast - Bandsplain Indie hacker / entrepreneur - Justin Moore Follow JayTwitterMy links Twitter Indie Bites Twitter Indie Bites YouTube Join the membership Personal Website 2 Hour Podcast Course PodPanda (hire me to edit your podcast) This Indie Life Podcast Sponsor - EmailOctopus

He tells Guy about the origins of the football/soccer coach character, why the show has connected so deeply with audiences, and Ted's impact on Jason's own self-image.

Hello my friend! I have some BIG news to share with you today. This podcast has a new name! This show is no longer named Creative Elements. Moving forward, this show will be named Creator Science. Don't worry, there's nothing YOU need to do – it's the same RSS feed that you're already subscribed to. You'll just see it pop up under the name “Creator Science” instead of Creative Elements and you'll notice some slight differences in the new artwork. Rebrands are really hard. But I have two mantras for 2023: 1.) Simplification 2.) Ripping off the band-aid I'm on a mission to simplify my business and any time I can do that, even if it's scary, difficult, or painful, I'm going to rip off the band-aid and make that change. So in this episode, I'm going to talk about why I'm renaming the podcast to Creator Science.

The Creative Science Founder has the #givefirst mentality, providing many free resources through several platforms for founders and creators, including his podcast Creative Elements.“The model in a nutshell is giving first for as long as you can, never stop giving, and then some people will choose to give back to you because of that,” Jay says.Listen as Jay shares how building your personal brand is valuable to success: “This level of influence that you can have as an individual … can be huge no matter what you're trying to do, whether you want to funnel that toward your own products, whether you want to funnel that toward your startup or your fund, it can be totally game-changing.”Also, don't miss David and Jay talking about the importance of sharing information in different ways, becoming your product's “public loudmouth,” and the growing popularity of the Build in Public strategy.Follow David Cohen on Twitter @davidcohenFollow Jay Clouse on Twitter @jayclouseListen & subscribe to the Give First podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and more.

He's built a successful podcast called “Creative Elements” , one that I actually listen to the most, he has a lucrative newsletter called “Creator Science”, and a membership community that helps people like you become professional creators.  This year, his one person media company is on pace to bring in over $300,000, and in this show we talk about… Where you should start as a creator Why you should be building a “creative platform” and what that is Why he's building a video first podcast The most valuable asset you can build as a creator What platform drives most of this sales Why you plan for ads at the beginning when you launch your podcast What the “AD INVENTORY” means His production process for recording his podcast If you like this episode, please share with a friend.

Hello my friend! Welcome to a short, audio-only episode of Creative Elements. First off, we're taking a break from uploading to YouTube this week. So I'll share a little bit behind the scenes for why that is (and why it's scary). Then we'll get into a 12-part framework for how YOU can become more consistent with publishing and hitting deadlines. This framework was first covered in my newsletter, Creator Science!

Jay Clouse helps people become professional creators. He is the writer of Creator Science and the host of Creative Elements, a narrative-interview podcast exploring how today's top creators make a living with their art and creativity. He previously led the Community Experience team for Pat Flynn and Smart Passive Income, designing their paid membership community and cohort-based course programs. Jay is also the creator of the wildly successful, #Tweet100 campaign. This is another live interview Heather and Alan did during PodcastMovement in Dallas. Prepare for some incredible truth bombs, but laughter and silliness also ensued! Jay love's to connect! Follow him on Twitter or TikTok and check out Creative Science for exceptional insight for creators at every stage of their journey.

It sets you apart from the crowd.  Create a situation where you can fail publicly to help you stay accountable! Brilliant creativity hack.  The more you do a thing, the more successful you'll be at the thing.  Figure out your own quirks and work with them!  Don't always imitate others. Take what you want, but don't overcomplicate things.  Kids show up and do things they don't know how to do. That's how they learn - adults often don't.  Expand your view on what entrepreneurship actually is.  The creator world is all about actualizing your own vision, not someone else's.  You can “learn out loud” and take others on the journey. It's a win-win.  Reward the people who take early risks with you.  Earned insight is so valuable - charge accordingly. Humans don't push themselves to the limits. That's why coaches and consultants are so valuable. Move forward faster by learning what doesn't work (some people call that failing). There's space for being aspirational! Embrace it.  Ask yourself: What are the unique skills that I want? Stop comparing yourself to the big shots in your industry. It's not serving you.  Know when to let enough be enough. And also when to let good enough be good enough.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
