Social media as we know it is in chaos. The landscape is becoming more decentralized and creators are facing more challenges than ever. On top of all that, the very notion of a follower is dying and there's uncertainty about what that means for the future. Jack Conte, the CEO and co-founder of Patreon, joins Taylor to discuss how to better serve creators.

In episode #368 of the DIY Musician Podcast, we sit down with Jack Conte, co-founder and CEO of Patreon, as well as one-half of the musical duo Pomplamoose and co-leader of Scary Pockets. Jack shares his unique insights on what he calls “the end of the follower era” in 2024. We dive into what it means to be a musician today, how the changing digital landscape affects creators, and why metrics still play a crucial role in shaping careers. Whether you're an artist or simply curious about the future of content creation, this conversation is packed with valuable takeaways. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on the evolving role of social platforms, fan engagement, and much more.

Guest: Jack Conte, CEO & co-founder of PatreonFor many YouTube video creators, getting millions of views on your videos may seem like the goal. But when Jack Conte and his wife Nataly Dawn became YouTube stars through their band Pomplamoose, they didn't automatically find gold at the end of the rainbow.“You check your ad revenue and you make 48 bucks in ad revenue and you're like, ‘Oh my God, I'm worthless,'” Jack recalls. “And you check that dashboard every day ... and eventually you start to believe that you're worth $48 a month. That's a bad f**king feeling.”That's why in 2013, he co-founded the artist-funding platform Patreon, and discovered that there were a lot more creators like him out there. As of 2022, those creators have earned more than $3.5 billion from Patreon.Chapters:(01:06) - Barriers to entry (03:04) - The creator economy (08:36) - Patreon's mission (11:22) - Its name (13:12) - Talking to artists (17:26) - Detail obsession (24:07) - “Nobody has an answer” (27:17) - Playing empty rooms (31:09) - Success feels like failure (33:37) - “I'll be happy when...” (39:26) - Type one vs type two joy (45:32) - Self-confidence (48:30) - Obsession, humility, and kindness (53:51) - Figuring out your sound (56:18) - “I'm f**king terrified” (01:00:33) - Pedals (01:04:04) - Starting Patreon (01:07:04) - Who Patreon is hiring Mentioned in this episode: Jason Kilar, Spotify, YouTube, Pomplamoose, Google Docs, GoDaddy, LaCroix, James Freeman and Blue Bottle Coffee, Woody Allen, Medium, YCombinator, Apple and the App Store, MySpace, Matthew “The Oatmeal” Inman, AdSense, Home Depot, Skrillex and Fred Again, Matt Bunting, and Sam Yam.Links:Connect with JackLinkedInRead "I'm f**king terrified"Watch the "Pedals" music videoConnect with JoubinTwitterLinkedInEmail: grit@kleinerperkins.com Learn more about Kleiner PerkinsThis episode was edited by Eric Johnson from LightningPod.fm

When Spotify showed up and interrupted his revenue stream, Jack Conte didn't roll over, he found a way to to help all creators. Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I'm Stephen's sidekick and business partner Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it's us. But we're highlighting ads we've written and produced for our clients so here's one of those. [Seaside Plumbing Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to the Empire Builders Podcast. Dave Young here alongside Stephen Semple, and Stephen whispered today's topic into my ear, and then hit the record button and away we go. This is a new one. This is one of those internet companies that has been a disruptive force, a revolutionary force in a lot of ways about how people go about raising money and sustaining artistic endeavors. We're going to talk about Patreon today. Stephen Semple: Yeah, Patreon was founded on May 2nd, 2013. Yeah, relatively new company by Jack Conte from the band, Pomplamoose, and a school buddy of his Sam Yam. If Jack was here, he would say it was not a disruptive force. He would say it was a helpful force. Dave Young: Oh, I agree. I'm just saying a disruptive, not like an Uber or an Airbnb where it's disruptive and upsets a whole industry, but in a way that disrupts the way maybe you could fund your band or fund an artistic endeavor. It's almost a throwback to Renaissance days when artists had patrons. That's where they got their name. Stephen Semple: Right. Dave Young: You would have rich people that would say, "I love what you're doing, and keep doing it. Here's some money every month." Stephen Semple: Yeah, yeah. Just keep being you. Dave Young: Yeah, I think it's a beautiful thing, a beautiful platform. Stephen Semple: It's really interesting how it came to be because today it's valued at over a billion dollars, and there's 200,000 content creators and artists, musicians that are on the platform, 400 employees. They have 3 million monthly active patrons on the platform. Dave Young: Yeah, it's pretty amazing. Stephen Semple: It supports a lot of people you know and people you don't, including organizations like the Whiskey Vault. Supports the distillery. Both Sam and Jack had this mutual love of music, and they were roommates in Stanford University, and Sam studied computer science. When he was in Stanford, he had this little internet burger business, pre DoorDash. He would take burger orders and go get them. There was one time he found himself pulling into a drive through at night and ordering over a hundred burgers at a time. While Sam was doing that, Jack studied music in college, and Jack had actually started in physics and decided he didn't like it and rolled over into music. He was an artist and interested in being a full-time artist. In college, he was doing movies and soundtracks for movies. In 2006, they both graduated and Sam goes to work in tech startup and Jack starts a band with his girlfriend, now wife, Natalie. This is where Jack is a really interesting person because Jack had been watching YouTube. He would wonder if he could use it to get views. He would put up these videos of him playing music in his bedroom, and he sold MP3s online for a few hundred bucks a month on E-Junkie. He felt like he could make money on music and when iTunes came out, this was a game changer because of the ease of now selling music. What he realized was, at its heart, YouTube is a search engine. If you post a cover of a song that is popular, and if it's a good cover, it will get people watching it and if they like it, they will look for your other music and then go and buy it on iTunes. This was working pretty well.

Ryan Lerman has a lot of irons in the fire. From his band Scary Pockets where they create epic funk covers in tiny windows of time, to his solo music and production projects working with incredible artists all over the world. In this episode we talk about how he met Jack Conte, how their projects like Scary Pockets and Dead Wax started, and he tells us some fun stories from being on the road, including the unpredictable manner in which he came to be Ben Folds Bassist.

The “creator economy” could grow to nearly half a trillion dollars in the next four years, according to Goldman Sachs. That buzzword describes the online ecosystem of people creating and monetizing videos, music, podcasts, newsletters, art and other forms of expression, usually on social media. But advertising and algorithms can be fickle mistresses. For the last decade, Patreon has enabled fans to directly support creators with paid digital subscriptions. Now the company is offering a free membership option and the ability to sell digital works. Marketplace’s Meghan McCarty Carino spoke with Patreon CEO and co-founder Jack Conte about how these new services can help the creator economy grow.

Scary Pockets is the musical collective that has been transforming pop classics into funk anthems for over half a decade. Each week they release a new cover on YouTube featuring razor-sharp instrumentalists and a rotating cast of virtuosic lead singers. Amazingly, each of their 200-plus covers is arranged on the fly, in a span of about 90 minutes—capturing the talent and spontaneity of a group of musicians at the top of their game. We here at Switched on Pop were struck by the band's ability to infuse familiar songs with syncopation and backbeat, and rack up millions of views in the process, so we reached out to Scary Pockets's leaders—guitarist Ryan Lerman and keyboardist Jack Conte—to arrange for Nate and Reanna to be flies on the wall during their creative process. After documenting the behind-the-scenes dialogue that led to a slow-burning interpretation of the Bee Gees's 1977 classic "Staying Alive," we called up Ryan, Jack, and the song's lead vocalist, Lizzy McAlpine, to hear their insights on making a song that everyone knows sound fresh and unfamiliar  Songs Discussed Bee Gees - Staying Alive (Scary Pockets Cover) Paul McCartney and Wings - Arrow Through Me (Scary Pockets Cover) Beatles - Maxwell's Silver Hammer Coldplay - Fix You (Scary Pockets Cover) Parcels - Tieduprightnow Bill Withers - Just the Two of Us (Scary Pockets Cover) Justin Bieber - Peaches (Lizzy McAlpine Cover) More on Scary Pockets Watch the video of Scary Pockets and Lizzy McAlpine covering "Staying Alive" See them LIVE with David Ryan Harris & John Scofield, November 16 at Echoplex in Los Angeles! Tickets Subscribe to their YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/scarypockets Merch Store: https://www.scarypocketsfunk.com Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/scarypockets Listen on Spotify: Scary Pockets Instagram: @scarypockets  Musician Credits: Vocals: Lizzy McAlpine BGVs: Sophia James, Arielle Kasnetz Guitar: Ryan Lerman, Will Graefe Wurlitzer & Synth: Jack Conte Bass: Travis Carlton Drums: RJ Kelly Audio: Engineered & mixed by Caleb Parker Learn more about your ad choices.

And you'll hear how his worst mistake as a founder helped him reconnect with Patreon's mission and community, and build Patreon into a $4B company. How can being wrong accelerate your business? It takes running at the solution with insatiable curiosity.

Building a business means making mistakes. Lots of them. But how you're wrong isn't always obvious. Jack Conte has learned this lesson as a working musician — and while scaling Patreon into a company worth $4b. In Part One of a two-part series, you'll hear how Jack wrote his own Wrongness Playbook, as he learned to answer questions like: If something isn't working, is it time to trust your instincts? Or is there critical feedback you've been ignoring?

Washington Post senior video reporter Dave Jorgenson speaks with Jack Conte, CEO and co-founder of Patreon, about the growth and future of the creator economy. Conversation recorded on Monday, July 18, 2022.

Do you ever procrastinate? Or maybe overthink things a little too much?Or do you allow yourself to become a tiny bit distracted when really you should be working on your online business? My friend, I have BEEN there way too many times to count. Especially when I need to post a product. Yep—even after all this time I can stare at a blank screen, my fingers hovering over the keyboard, and come up with about 135 things I could be doing outside or in the house. Like taking our dog Goose for a walk, or sweeping the kitchen floor, or dreaming up a new business idea.Procrastination is the real deal!But I recently was listening to a podcast featuring Jack Conte, CEO and co-founder of Patreon. His insights into procrastination and distraction made me start thinking about them—and about the idea of finishing something—differently. Get ready to take some notes and have a few “aha” moments! (And if you like this episode as much as I think you will, I'd appreciate it if you'd leave a 5-star review.) Connect with Alison: Facebook: @alisonjprinceInstagram: @alisonjprinceOnline: https://www.alisonjprince.com/>>>Get your FREE product ideas hereGet your free Because I Can planner here (you just pay shipping)Click here to join the 0-100K System

Ryan Lerman has a few tricks up his sleeve. Best known as the cofounder of Scary Pockets, a dynamic funk band from LA who came to prominence on YouTube, Ryan is also an accomplished singer songwriter, bassist, arranger and producer.  His early work with Michael Bublé, John Legend, Vanessa Carlton and Ben Folds prepared him for a career as a session player, and his early solo records showcased his plain spoken, plaintive and soulful connection to the human condition.  Lerman met his Scary Pockets cofounder Jack Conte when the two were still in high school in Marin County, California. It's a relationship that has informed and influenced him musically and professionally since then. He says that they “tend to be systems level thinkers” who “focus on the process instead of the outcome.”  That kind of process oriented approach has paid off: Scary Pockets and Lerman are extremely productive: they have released at least one new video each week since 2017, racked up millions of views and a loyal audience of funk enthusiasts around the world. They've recorded hundreds of songs featuring a continuously rotating line up of quality musicians and singers.  Collaborators have included many former guests of this podcast including Jacob Collier, Louis Cato, Louis Cole, Tyler Duncan, Joey Dosik, Larry Goldings, Caleb Hawley, Cory Henry, Theo Katzman, Lawrence, Adam Levy, Monica Martin, Jake Sherman, Antwaun Stanley, Jack Stratton, and Cory Wong. Here he talks about his happy place (“in the middle of business thinking and artistry”), what he learned about leadership by working as a sideman, how tried to become a lawyer but ended up playing funk music instead, and what minor nine chords have to do with any of it. www.third-story.com www.wbgo.org/studios

Nataly Dawn and Jack Conte of Pomplamoose talk about starting their career more than a decade ago by posting viral music videos to YouTube, going on to co-found Patreon and its importance to creators in the music industry, and Nataly talks about recording her new solo record after getting a skin cancer diagnosis.   “Pomplamoose gets 5-6 million views a month on YouTube and when we were just relying on the ad revenue from that in 2012, 2011, we were making maybe $1,000 a month in ad revenue and I just felt like that is not indicative of the connection and the energy and the community that is out there. We're not being paid fairly for our contribution and for the work that we are doing,” Conte says. “The really nice thing about Patreon is even with a couple thousand fans, we only have [about] 2,500 Patrons but we're making $15,000 a month through Patreon.”   Support the show: https://www.kexp.org/sound/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this talk, Jack Conte, CEO of Patreon, discusses how to reach people, creating in the modern world, and staying inspired during the end of times.

As the cofounder and CEO of Patreon (and a creator himself), Jack Conte's whole mission has been helping creators make a stable living. Patreon allows creators to charge monthly or annual subscription fees for access to their content. And since the company started nine years ago, it's paid out $3.5 billion to more than 250,000 creators. Patreon itself was recently valued at $4 billion, so clearly Jack was on to something. But knowing how much the creator economy has evolved, how is Patreon thinking about features to better serve creators? And are we getting closer to a more robust middle class of creatives?

Patreon CEO Jack Conte took the stage at my first ever SXSW event with a beer in hand. With Dead Cat co-host Tom Dotan, we discussed crowdfunding, OnlyFans, Substack, NFTs, Ukraine, and whether creators are brands.Speaking from the stage at the Volley Game Room at SXSW, Conte explained why his company wouldn’t compete with the likes of Twitter and YouTube to build audiences for the creators that it works with. “Patreon set out to solve a very specific problem. The specific problem we were solving was, there are creators who are getting millions of views, creators who have incredible reach, but they’re being undervalued by society,” Conte said. Conte said that he didn’t think Patreon could compete directly with large social media companies. “I actually don’t know that that’s a war that we would win. Those businesses are solid businesses. They have moats. They have network effects that make it very difficult to break into those worlds. I think Patreon’s best bet at solving this problem of creator payments is focusing very specifically on the problem of creator payments.”Conte seemed to be interested in exploring NFTs but was reticent to say that the company was specifically considering embracing them after receiving backlash on another podcast for even asking a question about NFTs.Toward the end of our conversation, Conte disagreed with journalist Taylor Lorenz’s stance that reporters should worry about their brands. Conte objected to the idea that creators of any sort should be thinking too much about their “brand.”For context, earlier this month, Insider quoted Lorenz in a much-discussed article.“When you think about the future of media, it’s much more distributed and about personalities," said Taylor Lorenz, a former Times tech reporter who recently left for The Washington Post. “Younger people recognize the power of having their own brand and audience, and the longer you stay at a job that restricts you from outside opportunities, the less relevant your brand becomes.”A bunch of political reporters — including the New York Times’ Maggie Haberman and Washington Post reporter Jacqueline Alemany — seized on Lorenz’s comments to take issue with the notion that journalists should shape their “brand.”Conte seemed to agree with Lorenz that journalists can increasingly operate independently of newsrooms, but he took issue with the idea that journalists should mind their brands.“Can journalists develop independent followings?” Conte asked rhetorically. “Of course they can.” “Do journalists need to be a part of larger institutions and leverage those institution’s historical reach?”“No, obviously, that is changing.” “But the more interesting part of what you just said is the distinguishing characteristics between this concept of a brand and the concept of a creator,” Conte said.“What I would argue is that those are very f*****g different things. Very different.” “A brand is consistent. It has brand values. It builds trust. It has decks of like its style and its voice and what it sounds like. And if it were a person, what kind of jeans would it wear?”“Like that’s what brands are.”“Brands are not human beings,” he continued. “They’re not.”“Creators are f*****g people. They’re inconsistent. They’re human. They're beautiful. They’re frail. They’re smart. They’re stupid. They’re strategic. They’re impulsive. They’re human beings.” Conte said, “We’re all trying to behave like brands today. And brands are corporations. Like we don’t have to behave like brands.”“When you watch a Prince music video — that f*****g guy is just himself, no matter what. And I don’t want him to behave like Walmart. I want him to be Prince. And my favorite creators, I want them to be themselves and I want them to feel human and I want them to not feel trapped by their brand values. I think it’s a mistake for everybody to think, ‘I need a personal brand. I need to create a brand.’” “Just be yourself.”Next week, look forward to VC Jeopardy with Deena Shakir, Julian Eison, Charles Hudson, and Steve Brotman.

Sebastian Park, co-founder of BITKRAFT Ventures and Infinite Canvas, joins Peter for a discussion about how Web 3.0 will transform the world of media and entertainment - and, in particular, how Creators will be able to go directly to their audience and superfans to engage with them (and monetize them) via NFTs, DeFi and other direct-to-consumer modes enabled by the blockchain. In this special session, Sebastian gives a full presentation of what Patreon's CEO Jack Conte calls "The 2nd Renaissance" - i.e., the feedback loop between tech and Creators that drives the expansion of Creator-type jobs and changes how society interacts with media and influence.

Jack Conte blends the worlds of music creation (Pomplamoose and the funk band Scary Pockets) and solving creators' problems with systems (crowdfunding and community with Patreon). He shares how he balances (or doesn't balance at times) creating music with running a large tech business. He also shares what he has learned, how his companies have shifted with the work-from-home world shift, and how he has changed/staffed his own creative processes in this distributed era. His career journey has been an interesting mingling of music and science/technology, all the way back to his science teacher who got him interested (who he still connected with monthly over Costco pizza). Guest: Jack Conte, CEO and Co-founder of Patreon; band member of Pomplamoose and Scary PocketsJack Conte is a musician, filmmaker, half of band Pomplamoose and Scary Pockets, and a co-founder at Patreon, a membership platform that makes it easy for creators to earn salaries directly from their biggest fans. Patreon was founded in 2013, and is on track to pay out more than $500 million to creators in 2019 alone.As a musician and filmmaker, Jack spent his days in a converted dog kennel-turned-recording studio in Sonoma County, making YouTube videos that have amassed over 120 million views. Now, he's in full-time CEO mode at Patreon HQ in San Francisco where the company is paying millions of dollars to creators every month around the world. Jack also loves working with robots.

Rapper M-I-A has launched her own Patreon. That's the service that allows fans to pay monthly or or per project for mostly internet based content. The multi platinum selling star is latest artist with a major record contract to join the platform known as a major revenue source for podcasters, bloggers and youtubers. In her video introduction to the project she said she wanted a closer relationship with her fans. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t13OT5UqXpQ The brit says she'll be documenting the creation of a new album and her and world travels along with providing exclusive artwork, and live streams for her subscribers. Singers Ben Folds, Cautious Clay and Jacob Collier joined Patreon in the past year. As surprising as it seems that established acts are joining it shouldn't been.  The platform's root come from Jack Conte, one-half of the band Pomplamoose (who rose to fame on YouTube). Conte created Patreon in 2013. In his ted talk, he slammed the structure that the music business uses to play artists. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlQ3C_VanaU&t=183s Conte's dream has scaled gaining an increasing amount of mainstream success.  In November, Patreon announced that its global network of creators have earned more than $1 billion on Patreon, with the support of over 4 million patrons. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/m-i-a-patreon-account-945808/ https://www.vulture.com/2020/01/mia-launches-patreon-live-streams-behind-the-scenes.html https://www.billboard.com/articles/business/8549946/mia-launches-patreon-subscription-page-exclusive-videos-artwork https://musically.com/2019/11/08/music-crowdfunding-effective-not-begging-ari-herstand/ Hosted on Acast.

In 2013, Sam Yam teamed up with his former Stanford roommate Jack Conte to create Patreon, a platform that connects content creators with members who provide recurring revenue. As co-founder and CTO, Yam built Patreon into a service that has funded more than one hundred thousand creatives, channelling more than one billion dollars to musicians, podcasters, and artists of all kinds. He describes the intense grind of scaling Patreon and looks at three central challenges that face most entrepreneurs, then focuses in on what makes the entrepreneurial path worth it.

It's been a weird 100 years for artists and creators, says musician and entrepreneur Jack Conte. The traditional ways we've turned art into money (like record sales) have been broken by the internet, leaving musicians, writers and artists wondering how to make a living. With Patreon, Conte has created a way for artists on the internet to get paid by their fans. Could payment platforms like this change what it means to be an artist in the digital age?

Episode #15: In this episode, we explore the historical impact of musical videos by looking at the advent and evolution of MTV, and the explosion of YouTube as a format for music, and music videos. We kick off the hour with Courtney Smith, a former programmer for MTV and MTVU, who gives us a bird's eye view of how videos were selected for air, and how her days with the station were different than the early days. From there we toggle over to Ed Vetri of Wind-Up Records, who explains the importance of music videos to his label's growth, and the careers of bands like Evanescence and Creed. After that, we catch up with music video director, Alicia J. Rose, and talk to her about what's changed since she got into the directing game a decade ago. Rounding out the hour is a discussion with Jack Conte, who's band Pomplamoose has made videos a priority from the outset of their career, which eventually led him to develop the video subscription/patronage website Patreon.
