Lloyd, Ashley, and Tariro's goal in the conversation today was to talk about what Creators could learn from a Journalist like Tariro. 

She spoke about:

How important is it to believe in yourself and give yourself a chance?

How she manages to have difficult conversations/interviews with people.

 How she handles feeling like she's behind schedule in life. 

This conversation gave us a lot of insight into how we can become just a little better at our craft as creators. 

Lloyd and Ashley are the hosts of The Creator Hub podcast, a show dedicated to the culture and featuring interviews with creators from around the world.

Our guest today is Tariro, a journalist and writer whose work has been featured in publications such as The Cut, The New York Times, Hyundai, Nast Traveler, Slate, and more.

Creating content changed my life, but I also understand that starting your journey as a content creator can be difficult. Today I chat with my friend Berrion Berry, she's one of my favorite digital creators. She's accumulated over 22,000 followers on both TikTok and Instagram. In our conversation today we talk about how to get started as a content creator, how to find your niche and how to turn your hobby-creating content into a business. You can catch up with Berrion here:TikTok > https://www.tiktok.com/@berrionlberryInstagram > https://www.instagram.com/berrionlberry/Website > https://hoo.be/berrionlberryAs always you can always send me a text me here: +1 (404) 549-6724You can check me out on Instagram here: https://instagram.com/lloydnotgeorgeYou can check me out on TikTok here: https://www.tiktok.com/@lloydnotgeorgeYou can always find me on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lloyd-george-634a7793/ Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, I talk about:

Youtube's new feature, they are exploring adding shoppable links. This is a big game changer for creators on the platform. I talk about why I'm so excited about this feature and some of the potential challenges.

I also talk about the fact that more creators are popping up on LinkedIn. I mean this used to be the platform where we had to dress ourselves up and pretend like we were our professional selves 24/7. To see people that are creators on the side and fully employed talk about their passion on LinkedIn is exciting. I share three tips on how you can leverage LinkedIn. 

Lastly, I share my experience at the podcast conference Afros and Audio. it's a podcast conference for black podcasters. I talk about my first big panel and why I was insecure about it. 

I really appreciate all of you being with me as I explore what I want this podcast to look like.

Thinking about starting a podcast?

Feeling discouraged about your podcasting career?

Curious about improving your craft?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, this is the place to be. 

You’re literally one step away from blowing your podcasting career wide open! Don’t believe it? Learn how a real OG podcaster got his start and is trailblazing in the industry.

Meet Dom Sharpe

Podcaster Dom Sharpe of “Listen to This While you Shit” started podcasting in December 2019. It all started when he realized he had a knack for talking at length, an engaging personality, and infectious comedic flair. Initially, he talked to literally no one for hours, but that’s not the case today!

After more than a year and a half of dedication and hard work, he has amassed 80,000 TikTok followers, 20,000 IG followers, and thousands of regular podcast listeners. He’s also signed to Blue Wire.

Podcast Monetization Tips You Don’t Want to Miss

Podcast monetization is a hot topic in the industry - who doesn’t want to make money doing what they love? Here are some tips straight from Dom Sharpe that’ll help you monetize your podcast quicker: 

If you’re not using Patreon, start now and advertise it on your pods. It’ll turn your hard work into a monthly paycheck as your audience grows. Always be transparent with your followers and be thoughtful when setting up tiers. 

Use Rodecaster Pro to make the podcast creation process easy. Podcast monetization is impossible if you’re not churning out good content regularly. This all-in-one tool is everything you need to minimize your editing time and ensure the quality of your pods.

Don’t get hung up on what you don’t have - Dom Sharpe started recording everything on his phone; no expensive camera or layered sounds. Just put yourself out there and focus on producing the best quality content you can with what you have.
