Instagram. Facebook. Twitter. Tik Tok. SnapChat. Fanbase. Myspace. Blackplanet. Vine (RIP). This episode is about social media. So strop scrolling and listen (please, that sounded kinda rude.)

The days of celebrity and creator being one and the same are over. It's time to embrace a new class of creators – something called the ‘creator middle class'. Ask anyone to list off a roster of top creators and you'll get a mix of names depending on which platform they frequent. From Mr. Beast and Ryan's World on YouTube (with a combined 100 million subscribers) to Charlie D'Amelio and Addison Rae on TikTok, these creators have hit celebrity status in terms of popularity and earnings. But what about the two million-plus creators who run professional-level productions? And there's more: Influencer Marketing Hub states there are an estimated 50 million individuals out there who consider themselves to be part of the creator economy.From Twitch to Instagram, YouTube to TikTok, platforms are evolving. Along with the rapid growth of platforms like TikTok, for example, comes a wave of new tools and resources to help creators get their start.Of 50 million creators out there, 46.7 million identify as ‘amateurs' – those who are making money as creators but not gaining enough income to step away from regular paychecks.That's where a ‘creator middle class' comes into play.As more creators step onto respective platforms and carve out a niche of the market, there's going to be a need for more attention to be placed on this sector of the creator economy.In 2020, Li Jin wrote an article for Harvard Business Review titled, ‘The Creator Economy Needs a Middle Class.'Source: Business Insider In the piece, Jin highlights much of the changing behaviors as popularity for social media platforms – and the desire to create content – has grown. Here are just some of the impressive statistics highlighted:30% of kids (between the ages of eight and 12) want to be YouTubers/Creators when they grow up.Monthly AdSense checks for David Dobrik, a popular YouTube creator, hit approximately $275,000 for every 60 million views.TikTok creator, Charli D'Amelio, was worth a whopping $4 million dollars at age 16.And it's not just video creators making this kind of splash in the creator economy, either. Top writers and creators on Substack pull in at least $7 million dollars annually, according to the Harvard Business Review.But is having a creator middle class really that important? Actually, yes, and here's why:Aside from spreading the wealth and avoiding a few big names from monopolizing space across various platforms, there are other benefits to paying attention to this emerging segment.There's increased trust when promoting products or servicesA healthy sense of competition exists, driving improvement and innovation across the boardDemand for products is stabilized over time rather than gaining fleeting attentionSocial platforms actually grow and become stronger when there's an equal opportunityOne example of this is Vine (RIP).Source: Dextero Despite its massive growth and short-form video content format (not to mention the 200+ million users), the platform ultimately lost creators as they moved to platforms like Snap, Instagram, and YouTube. Why? These platforms started to create tools and monetization opportunities for creators. Where Vine failed, TikTok succeeded. But that's not to say that any of the current platforms are a utopia for creators, either. Creators on TikTok are noticing the discrepancy between payments and as the platform continues to grow it will be even harder for creators to stand out. Here's a takeaway: There will always be popular figures in the creator economy. Whether on TikTok, YouTube, or Instagram, high-level creators will continue to emerge. But in order to move forward and create innovation, a middle-class creator economy needs to exist. The Creator Economy is ChangingWith over 50 million content creators coming up with new ways to engage audiences every day, the face of the creator economy is has been changing for a while. While most of us are tired of hearing about the pandemic, it has played a major role in accelerating the growth of the middle-class community on social media. While only the top 2% of creators retain a vast majority of revenue, the creator middle class is finding its place and learning how to succeed. As the social media landscape changes, the rise of small business-like content entrepreneurs is starting to take a bigger, more important role. And unlike influencers with an overly large fan base, the creator middle class is taking an approach that is resonating with the industry. What does this look like? It's all about being more approachable and offering a different type of content that might not currently be as profitable as the revenue generated by more famous creators. This can be seen in the growing demand for micro and nano influencers. As more creators tap into the market and use the available tools or platforms, the middle-class segment of the creator economy will continue to grow. Who is considered the creator ‘middle class?'While most social media platforms offer the ability to become a content creator, the creator middle class is looking at things a little differently. Rather than relying on existing entities to release their content, they are taking ownership of their content. Although they still must rely on participating with and paying third-party software, unlike regular creators, the middle class is opting to retain ownership of the things they publish. In other words, middle-class creators are taking their already existing entrepreneurial skills and turning them into personalized content. We see this with creators connecting with users through paid-for newsletters and exclusive communities. As the creator economy has grown, creators have started to realize that what they develop is more than just content they upload to a platform. This shift in going from influencer to creator has also helped creators understand that what they have to offer is not much different from any other service provider. Operating more like a small business than an influencer offers the ability to turn interests and personal pursuits into fully branded content. Growth and the creator middle class From music teachers to eBook writers and software engineers, the creator middle class has a much broader appeal than more narrowed advertorial content. While some middle-class creators are looking for a part-time income, others are quite successfully utilizing their everyday skills to make a living. And the industry is adjusting. Sites that allow direct payment like WordPress and Twitch are changing the way that creators make money. Rather than relying on an algorithm that pushes views toward the top tier of creators, monetization is becoming more accessible. From sites like Patreon that offer subscriptions to TikTok tip jars, monetization is moving away from algorithm-based hits to digital gifts or payments that go directly to the creator. The future of creators: how brands should work with this segment of the creator ecosystem Brands looking to take advantage of the transition from mega influencers to a creator middle class are destined to reap some of the same benefits. Source: Digital MRInfluencers might thrive on popularity rather than trust, but the shoe is on the other foot with middle class creators. Creators in this tier offer a lot of educational expertise and brands can rely on trustworthy material that speaks in their brand's voice. Because those on the top-earning tiers suffer from a flash-in-the-pan style of earning, brands can also benefit from longer-term relationships with the creator middle class. When brands invest in this level of creator, the obligation doesn't end with popular content. By hiring skilled creators who are not necessarily looking to rake in six figures, there's a greater opportunity for long-term work and tailored continuing education. Expectations for the Creator Middle ClassAlthough the creator middle class is still gaining notoriety, more and more corporations and tech giants are noticing. As the industry moves away from content that's owned by a platform to content that's privately produced and published, it creates independence that allows for a lot of future flexibility. With growth expected to continue to foster niche creators, it's expected that there will be another shift in the future. Trends are showing that media companies will begin to seek and employ content talent on a more specialized and granular level. Deeper than that, it's expected to morph into more specialized outlets for specific industries. Rather than the freelance free-for-all creators are experiencing now, content houses and influencer agencies are expected to tailor the current state of affairs to become even more profitable. At present, the top 90th percentile of creators makes over $70,000 a year, but it's forecasted to become a much more evened out number. The rise of the middle class is all but certain to level the playing field. Rather than rely on a near-celebrity status to monetize, the creator middle class relies on their skills and the future of content that they'll be able to bring to the table. The creator middle class might just be starting to see exponential growth, but it's projected to become another cornerstone of digital marketing. As more and more brands invest in the specialized content expertise of these creators, the middle-class tier will continue to expand…creating even more of a demand.

Bazzi has had dreams of making music for a living since he was 6 years old and says that he has never had a job besides music in his life, but it wasn’t until his senior year of high school, after moving from Michigan to Los Angles when he really started seeing that dream come to life. He started off singing covers on YouTube and then blew up through the app Vine… RIP. After crafting his own sound, he would explode into stardom with his song Mine, which at this point has been heard everywhere in the cosmic universe… cosmic is also the name of his album so that was my attempt at a bad pun… Starting the video off strong!But how did he end up going from a kid in Canton Michigan with a dream and a great voice to his song Mine receiving over 400 million streams on Spotify and 100 million views on YouTube? Well, you clicked on the right podcast.

Hello! And welcome to a very special edition of Inside The Newsroom where we’ll celebrate the 15th anniversary of YouTube, and go through the ups and downs of the world’s largest video sharing platform with today’s guest Ryan Broderick of BuzzFeed News. Ryan has covered technology for the past decade and has been with BuzzFeed since 2011, and has a charming newsletter called Garbage Day which features all the fun stuff on the internet from the past week. It’s hard to find the words to describe YouTube’s impact on society and how much it’s shaped our lives, but Ryan does so in a way far better than anyone, so please please please listen to the podcast up top. I’ve tried to cover everything in detail below, but there’s just so much I couldn’t include it all. Enjoy 🤓Picks of the WeekDeepwater Horizon — The worst offshore oil spill in U.S. history happened 10 years ago this weekEarth Day — Yesterday was Earth Day and Greta Thunberg has called for a new path once the pandemic is overBeach Erosion — A new study forecasts dramatic beach erosion along the U.S. coastlineToday’s EpisodeToday’s episode took more than 12 hours to put together, so please consider liking this post by clicking the little heart at the very top of the page, and also sharing with your friends on social media. I’ll be eternally grateful. Ryan 👇April 23, 2005: YouTube Is Born… At San Diego ZooFifteen years ago today, YouTube co-founder Jawed Karim uploaded the very first video to the platform that would go onto shape the world we live in. But don’t get too excited. The 19-second video taken at San Diego Zoo features Karim describing how long elephant trunks are. Yeah, not much of an improvisor, but to be fair to the bloke, he did start YouTube. If you still want to view the first video after that awesome description, have at it…Karim met fellow co-founders Chad Hurley (no not the guy behind the surfing brand) and Steve Chen at PayPal, where each had significant roles in the design and direction of one of the world’s largest payment platforms. Now more than a billion hours of video content are watched on YouTube every day, and more than 2 billion people use the platform every month. But what most people don’t know is that YouTube was originally a dating site, where users uploaded videos of themselves to try and attract other men and women. Karim, Hurley and Chen even registered the YouTube.com domain on Valentines Day two months before. Like Mark Zuckerberg over at Facebook, or rather Facemash, the three YouTubers realized their new platform had the potential to be so much more.YouTube’s original homepage 👇😷 | Credit: Web ArchiveWhat are the Founders Doing Now?Chad Hurley served as YouTube’s first CEO and went onto launch a smartphone video editing company along with Chen called MixBit, similar to other video sharing apps such as Vine (RIP), Snapchat and TikTok. Hurley’s now a part-owner of the Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Football Club. Steve Chen served as YouTube’s CTO and went onto launch MixBit with Hurley, which was eventually sold to BlueJeans in 2018. Chen is currently an entrepreneur in residence at Google Ventures.Despite uploading the first video, Jawed Karim actually had the smallest role of the three. After the launch, Karim enrolled at Stanford University to obtain a master’s in computer science while also serving as an advisor to YouTube. He went onto co-found a venture fund called Youniversity Ventures (clever) that was one of Airbnb’s first investors.What Was Video Like Before YouTube?Good question. The biggest reason YouTube is what is today is because there wasn’t a central hub to seamlessly upload videos in a range of formats in 2005. Of course, videos existed on the internet before YouTube, but it was such a hassle to watch anything. I’m not sure how proud I am to tell you that I had to download the iconic peer-to-peer sharing platforms LimeWire and BitTorrent, whereby users uploaded video files to the internet for the rest of us to download with accute anxiety over whether we were breaking the law or not. From there, I waited two to three minutes for the video to load in Windows Media Player, and voila! I could watch a whole minute of video! I’m sure there were other ways, but this is what I and many others had to do to watch a single video. And I know what you’re thinking, Pornhub came in 2007 (pun intended), so this was the ritual for porn users as well. Oh, you weren’t thinking that… 🐢November 13, 2006: YouTube Acquired By Google For $1.65 billionA year and half after Karim uploaded that video at the zoo, YouTube was the world’s fastest growing website and everyone had their eyes on Silicon Valley’s hottest startup. Even with its meteoric rise, nobody could have imagined that Google would buy YouTube for $1.65 billion — $2.1 billion (£1.75 billion) in today’s money. Google’s acquisition is a piece of history in itself and was ridiculed for paying so much. Dallas Mavericks owner and tech entrepreneur Mark Cuban called the move “crazy”, and even Google later acknowledged they probably paid a billion too much. But YouTube now generates $15 billion in annual revenue, and it would take no less than 12 figures for Google to let go of it. Put simply, it might be the greatest tech acquisition of all time.Google is the very reason why YouTube is so popular and profitable. The search engine giant was already gobbling up the majority of the advertising market, and its AdSense model opened YouTube up to content creators which accelerated its popularity and revenue even further. Google also redesigned YouTube’s clunky interface with its trademark clean and sleek design, making the platform perfect for travelling down multiple rabbit holes to consume even more content. Perhaps only Facebook’s acquisition of Instagram for $1 billion (£629 million) in 2012 can rival as the best tech buys in history.YouTubers and Their MillionsYouTube wouldn’t be what it is without its thousands of content creators, many of whom use the platform to make a living. The way it works is users must enable AdSense for their YouTube account, which allows clever algorithms to generate adverts on videos automatically. The more views, the more revenue — around $8 per 1,000 views. YouTube then takes 45 percent of that revenue, leaving most creators with the remaining 55, though there are higher rates for creators with the highest views. The highest-paid Youtuber of 2019 was eight-year-old Ryan Kaji, who started out reviewing toys on camera, and has since matured to conducting science experiments. Last year Kaji earned an estimated $26 million. But don’t be fooled. The entirety of that money didn’t come from YouTube. Kaji has launched a line of more than 100 toys and clothing items, has a show on Nickelodeon, and has deals with Roku and Walmart. He’s part of the growing number of YouTube stars who are becoming less reliant on the platform, with some leaving YouTube altogether. If Google wants to stop the growing trend of its users turning to other platforms to make money, it’ll have no option other than to change its revenue rates.The Dark Side of YouTubeWhile YouTube has been a vehicle for thousands of people to make a living and hundreds to become millionaires, there’s been several missteps that have led to the spread of extremism and fake information. Chen, Hurley and Karim could never have imagined that their innocent video sharing platform would be used to disseminate far-right hate and white supremacism, but that’s the reality of what tech entrepreneurs of today must have at the top of their priority list, above aesthetics, above share-ability, and certainly above profitability. That’s where YouTube has failed the most, to protect society from the vitriol and divisiveness that’s running through our communities’ bloodstreams. YouTube not only has not done enough, it’s among the most pervasive platforms over the past 15 years. Now, you might ask why Google executives have been so inactive in removing fake news and hate speech. You might also catch yourself feeling sympathetic toward them because of the difficulty to find and remove all hateful content. Don’t be. Don’t be fooled by the carefully constructed PR talk telling us that they’re doing everything they can to remove hateful videos that violate their rules. It’s b******t. YouTube, and several other social media platforms including Facebook and Twitter, know full well that if they were to actually adhere to the very rules they set in place that they would lose half of their users overnight. If amazing journalists like Ryan didn’t write on this issue profusely, Google would happily continue to skip along as if nothing was wrong.YouTube’s Hits and MissesSo we know that YouTube has completely revolutionized the way we watch video, and how thousands of people can earn a living. But what other industries has it spawned? And what did it miss out on? Let’s start with eSports, the multi-billion dollar industry that has absolutely exploded over the past decade. Now, YouTube didn’t create eSports, but it’s fair to say that without it, the professional gaming industry would look totally different. The story arguably starts in South Korea in the late 1990s with the game StarCraft, a science fiction strategy game that allowed multiple players to compete at the same time. As YouTube became more and more popular toward the late 2000s, millions of people began to watch other people play the likes of Minecraft, World of Warcraft and any other game ending in -craft. Online gaming on YouTube is still incredibly strong, with half of the top 10 earners making their fortune from gaming. But it hasn’t been all fun and games for YouTube, and it certainly isn’t a company that whatever it touches turns to gold. Perhaps its largest failure to date, both in time and money invested, has been its premium version, YouTube Premium, formerly known as Music Key, also known as YouTube Red. YouTube launched its premium service in 2014 and required users to pay a monthly subscription to listen to music and TV shows. The problem was that Netflix had already cornered the market, switching its own service from Blockbuster-style video rentals to online streaming in 2010. Why would users pay $12 a month on a platform they’d previously got their content for free? Simply put, YouTube was far too late and Google’s executives might never get over the billions of dollars Netflix and its streaming rivals are making today.Like with Netflix, YouTube also missed the boat on the rise and rise of video social media. While YouTube execs were investing the majority of their resources on their ad model, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram and now TikTok made it seamless for users to upload videos from their mobile phones, where the majority of internet users now consume content. YouTube has also lost its dominance of the ‘influencer market’, an industry Instagram has gladly made inroads into. Which leads us to our final part of our celebration of YouTube: What’s next?The Next 15…So here we are, the end of a remarkable journey over the past 15 years. Instead of being sentimental over the fact we’ll never see such an enthusiastic video about the size of elephant trunks uploaded to the internet ever again, let’s look forward to what YouTube should do in the next 15 years. I asked Ryan this very question, and his answer centered on mobile. If YouTube is to continue growing its audience, it must make it easier for its content creators to create content. How does it do that? By creating an entire equivalent version of Adobe Premiere inside its app for free. It must also create a virtual editing platform with advanced editing tools that allow users to create quality content with the few proverbial clicks of a user’s thumbs, similar to how TikTok has taken over the short form video market. And lastly, it must pivot its strategy and have mobile at the very center of it. If it doesn’t work on mobile, it doesn’t work for the user.

Aj Cartas was 19 years old working 3 jobs and going to school full-time when he discovered Instagram. He was ultimately able to gather over 1.2 million followers across his social platform. He was also very successful with Vine (RIP) which dramatically increased his exposure. He was able to work with brands such as JC Penny and RedBox and movies such as Hercules and How To Train Your Dragon. After dropping out of college he went on to be a Finalist for Forbes 30 Under 30 2016, he Co-Founded an influencer-driven events company which became the #1 influencer network in the Bay Area, he lead the social media initiatives for a company valued at $10 billion, he is already making 6-figures. I really enjoyed chatting with Aj! He shares some broad (but great) advice on how to become a social media influencer, he tells us about a failed trip to Iceland, his worst entrepreneurial moment was when he was scammed into joining a company that cost him thousands...and there's a lot more! Stay tuned for his new book, Startups and Downs.
