Head over to leadfeeder.com and sign up for a 14-day (no strings attached) free trial!Last week on the podcast I was in Paris interviewing an awesome YouTuber, Jay Swanson (check out episode 17, it's a banger!), and we talked about what it takes to be a YouTube pro, as well as what B2B marketers can learn from YouTubers.One thing that really stuck with me from that conversation was this concept called "Curiosity Loops."(Want to see the sights as well as hear the sounds of my walk through Amsterdam? Check out the full video interview: https://youtu.be/oBtLvjFMesU)Hold on, what are Curiosity Loops?Basically, it's how YouTubers keep you glued to their videos. They tease upcoming content, ask mind-blowing questions, or leave you hanging with a cliffhanger – anything to make you think, "I gotta see what happens next!"Why B2B Marketing Needs Curiosity Loops TooTraditionally, B2B content marketing has been all about getting you to download that white paper or click a link. But here's the thing: that doesn't build relationships, it just fills a form.Imagine if, instead, B2B content was actually, you know, engaging?Curiosity Loops can help with that by:* Making you wanna watch the whole thing: Forget grabbing your email address, let's focus on making the content itself so good you can't stop watching/ consuming.* Building a connection: If your content keeps you guessing and wanting more, that's a great way to start a relationship with a potential customer.* Spicing up ALL your content: Videos? Sure. But blog posts, podcasts – Curiosity Loops can work anywhere.How to Loop People In (The B2B Way)Here are some ideas I had for using Curiosity Loops in B2B marketing:* Hook 'em from the start: Grab their attention right at the beginning with something juicy.* Plant multiple hooks: Don't let the excitement fizzle out – sprinkle in more curiosity starters throughout.* Link your stuff together: Connect your different content pieces (articles, videos, podcasts) to create a choose-your-own-adventure journey of awesome content.* Think audience first: Before anything else, focus on creating valuable and engaging content that people actually want to see.Want to learn more about Curiosity Loops? Here's a quick reading list:* https://contentmarketinginstitute.com/articles/curiosity-gap-clickbait-content/* https://britneygardner.com/how-to-use-open-loops-in-your-content/* https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-drive-curiosityand-conversionswith-your-customer-/Connect with Joe on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joesweeney1/ Get full access to Content Marketing Commute at www.contentmarketingcommute.com/subscribe

Head over to leadfeeder.com and sign up for a 14-day (no strings attached) free trial!In this episode I chat with Jay Swanson, a full-time YouTuber in Paris, to dive into what B2B marketers can learn from YouTubers - both about the platform itself (often called the 'sleeping giant' in B2B marketing) and about how to build and engage an audience.Ditch the Webinar Dump: B2B Marketing Lessons You Can Learn from YouTubers!Filmed on a commute through the streets of Paris (and featuring my first bus-based interview!), we dive deep into:* Why giving value FIRST is key to YouTube success (and marketing in general).On this platform, more than many others, avoid pushing products before building a connection!* The B2B vs. B2C YouTube landscape: Is B2B content doomed to be boring webinars dumped on the platform? Jay thinks there's a better way.* Avoiding the "corporate invasion" trap: Learn how to respect the YouTube community and its culture to avoid getting roasted in a video essay.* Finding the right balance between polish and authenticity: We discuss the surprising trend of "anti-quality" content.Join us for a walk-and-talk (plus bus ride) filled with actionable insights for B2B marketers looking to take their YouTube game to the next level, and learn from a master in audience building and engagement.Want to see the sights as well as hear the sounds of my commute with Jay?

No, not the 1951 movie starring Gene Kelly and Lesley Caron... Jay Swanson moved from the USA and now lives in Paris where he calls himself: 'a YouTuber, writer, and puppy wrangler.'  He  publishes a guide to the city called Paris in my Pocket.Music: © Barney & Izzi Hardy 

Joe Griffin recently left his job of 8 years as co-CEO of ClearVoice, a company that he and co-founder Jay Swanson started in 2014 out of their digital marketing agency business in Phoenix, Arizona. ClearVoice was acquired by Fiverr in 2019 and has been operating as an independent subsidiary since then. Fiverr is now a large public company with a global reach.   ClearVoice was created in the fast-changing web search marketing industry in 2014 out of the need from larger companies for high-quality content to drive their organic website traffic. Joe and Jay previously ran their search marketing agency iAcquire and used profits to self-fund the first ClearVoice platform. They eventually raised a small amount of practical outside funding, including a seed funding round of $1.5M and venture debt of $2M. ClearVoice is now a leading platform for brands to hire industry-savvy experts to write useful content that is branded for their communities and customers. Thousands of brands and over 10,000 industry specialist creators use ClearVoice to drive organic marketing efforts with high-quality content. In this episode, Joe explains: How he had created and sold previous internet marketing agencies and technologies before creating ClearVoice The difficult transition of creating and funding the ClearVoice marketplace out of an existing services business The acquisition by Fiverr before they went public in 2019 and how they operated as an independent subsidiary after that Their practical funding with self-funding from their services business, a little angel funding, a small $1.5M seed investment round, and then venture debt before being acquired How he led ClearVoice with a co-CEO and how they worked on all big decisions together Find all the episodes and resources at practicalfounders.com.  

My guest this week is 9-time author Jay Swanson, whom you may know best for his YouTube vlogs, which have reached over 7 million views worldwide. His latest book “Sea of the Unknown” is a departure from his usual science fiction and fantasy novels, and is a beautifully-written memoir detailing the tumultuous path his life has taken to get him to his current one in Paris. It's a surprisingly intimate, introspective, and humorous look behind the scenes of a life lived in the public eye.In our conversation, Jay shares his imagination, his writing process, the often blurred lines between the public and the personal, how science fiction played into his memoir, and much more. Then, he treats us to a reading from “Sea of the Unknown.”https://www.youtube.com/c/JaySwansonjayswanson.meparisinmypocket.comJoin us on Patreon: Patreon.com/parisundergroundradioFind Us OnlineWebsite: https://www.parisundergroundradio.com/storytimeinparisFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/parisundergroundradioInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/parisundergroundradio/CreditsHost and Producer: Jennifer Geraghty.

Paris is home to some of the most famed classical art in the history of the world. The Mona Lisa in the Louvre. Rodin's sculpture of The Thinker. Monet's game-changing forays into Impressionism. But there's one Paris art movement that's getting a lot of people very excited - and it's right beneath our noses, by our shoulders, and above our heads.  Yes, I'm talking about the mosaic-tiled works of urban artist Invader, a man whose identity remains unknown but whose work has sold for up to €200,000. He has put up 1,341 pieces across Paris and you've maybe seen them without even realizing.  But who is Invader? And why is he putting art around Paris? And why are people going around with their phones and "collecting" them? For today's episode, we have the insights of Jay Swanson, a YouTuber in Paris, who is a "Flash Invader" - someone who goes around collecting photos of the art as part of a popular app by the same name. He tells us all there is to know about Invader.  And Jay is followed by a second guest, journalist David Chazan, who once found an Invader mosaic in his own home. Unfortunately, that one ends as a tale of woe - but it's a great story.    Oh yes, and welcome to Camille from French Today, who joins us at the end to teach me a French lesson in one minute, this time how to pronounce a word related to Invader and his work.  Now, enjoy the episode, buy one of my tote bags before they run out, and be sure to leave an iTunes review for me to read out next week. Oh yes, and become a Patron here.   All photos used on The Earful Tower site on this story were taken from the official Space Invaders website - check it out for more cool pics.  Talk next week!

Hey there word nerds! Today I am so excited to have Jay Swanson on the show.
