The Noname Nerd Podcast

You know, if our community is any indication, nerds might just be the most caring individuals on the planet. Have you ever wondered how you can help other people by creating content? Charities all over the world have discovered how great it can be to work with online content creators, which has opened up a plethora of options for you to help the world around you with your content! In this podcast, we’ll explore 3 different ways you can help: working directly with charities, working with digital hubs, and working with a curator hub. Want to learn more?

In previous podcasts, we’ve discussed finding the right voice and right platform for your content. But how do people find that voice? Equally important to finding your voice is finding consistent places where your fans can find you! So today, we’re going to discuss the steps you need to take to carve out a more permanent home on the internet!  Before we dig in, though….you might be wondering why we need to do this at all. I mean, you’ve already got your own page on Twitch or Youtube, right? I mean fans could always find you there, right?  Wrong.

Last time, we talked about finding your voice. We failed to answer one very important question, though. What if you have multiple voices in your videos? Finding your voice is one thing, but finding the voice of your team is a completely different battle. In this podcast, we’ll discuss why variety and balance matters, and discuss some ideas for roles to play.

Who are you, who are you talking to, and what do you want to say? When we begin our journey into content creation, there are a number of different factors to consider. What platform will we produce on? What basic format of content are we going to make? What is my release schedule going to look like? I could make this list go on and on, but that would only further prove the point I’m about to make. Finding your voice is one of the most important steps you can take while building your brand. Make sure to stop by one of our online communities at www.nerdsbelonghere.com for more tips and tricks on how to find your voice!

What is the fascination with NFTs?  I'll give you a brief introduction to what are NFTs and why I think that they have the potential to change how we interact with technology in the future.  I will show you some of the projects that I am currently working on connecting the Noname Nerd with NFTs and give you a brief look at what might be in store for the future.  If you haven't already, grab a free NFT from the Noname Nerd here:  https://www.nonamenerd.com/pages/free-nft

In the last podcast, we found what platform would most likely be a good home for us. But just because we picked a primary platform doesn’t mean we can’t utilize the other platforms! Playing around with cross-platform strategies can help us do three big things: it helps us explore new horizons, diversify our viewer base, and build our primary platform’s viewership via cross-promotion. Let’s take a look at how we can use these three elements in our cross-platform strategy. Don't forget that you can join the Noname Nerd community for free at www.nerdsbelonghere.com!

So, let’s take a moment to look at what Twitch, YouTube, Facebook, and TikTok can do for you, as well as considering strategy for looking at smaller, newer platforms.  Don't forget that you can join the Noname Nerd community for free at www.nerdsbelonghere.com.
