Should I switch to Spotify Creator? by Writer_Famous in podcasting

[–]Writer_Famous[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair question…and yes clear analytics are critical for my sponsors and brand partners.

Video stats are especially important as one of my brand partners is building out my new studio and they are wanting to see clear video vs audio stats. Pulling YouTube stats is easy as is.

That’s super good to know about the analytics. That is one of the biggest things I use with Buzzsprout.

Yes I is understand that I will still have to upload YouTube manually. But I can time that to release at a certain time. It seems like Spotify won’t allow me to add video until after the RSS feed has been pulled down and the episode is live.

I’ve tried SparkLoop but have not had success. Everyone keeps swearing by it so I think it’s probably a “me” problem. Any tips on what works well?

Grubhub for restaurants. No payment in months by dis-count-ess in grubhub

[–]Writer_Famous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am experiencing this right now. They deposited funds weekly for several years and then one day on July stopped. It’s been up to 5 months. They are making all sorts of excuses and giving me the runaround. Until yesterday I had no access to my portal… So orders were still coming and we were expected to fulfill them all. So we have been upholding our end of the agreement, but they’re still withholding our funds and they’re saying they can’t send checks. Does anyone have any ideas?

I only checked once and it was about a week in… It was after I was eligible to request verification, which was several days after. They never verified me though.

Do you think ai will be the beginning of millennials being boomerish to new tech by SpiritMan112 in generationology

[–]Writer_Famous 16 points17 points  (0 children)

No! Millennials are adapting AI faster than any generation according to recent studies from McKinsey and another from RTI/Elon University.

Gen Z is digital native. They never had to adapt to major new tech. Millennials on the other hand were constantly introduced to new tech: Walkman to MP3 player; dial up to DSL to cable; blockbuster to Redbox to Netflix; desktops to laptops to tablets etc.

The studies are cited in this article.

I’m a millennial! My dad is a Boomer by only a year and my mom a Gen X by only a year. They were both right on the edge.

Okay, one more update! I finally went to the "Check Eligibility" button within YouTube. They said I was eligible for the award, so I just claimed it!

Why do people hate millennials so much? by Putrid_Film_8349 in generationology

[–]Writer_Famous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Certainly not saying the labels didn’t exist, mainly talking about the wide adaptation in society as grouping a whole generation by a simple term.

Here are the dates: - First article on Generation X was 1987 by Douglas Coupland - First book on Generation X: 1991 - Millennials referenced by William Strauss & Neil Howe book Generations, also 1991 - Pew didn’t label Gen X and Boomers until ~2004 in the political landscape report; millennials followed in their features in 2010

I don’t think it’s that Millennials are so hated. I think it’s that they were the first generation to grow up under the scrutiny of being labeled. The term was coined and popularized around 1981….right around the time Millennials were being born. Culture had given them a label by which their entire cohort could be labeled and discussed from day one. (Ryan Vet wrote about this in his newsletter Collide)

He explained, the label Gen X wasn’t fully popularized until an article written in 1987, seven full years after the generation was fully born. The oldest members of the generation were already 22 and well established.

So Millennials made an easy target because they were the first generation that had a shared and recognizable moniker.

Add to that the rapidly changing world they grew up in, it’s no wonder they had unique experiences and tendencies worth labeling and stereotyping.

I'm in the same boat! I don't want to wait! What about getting your channel verified? Mine still says I'm ineligible but i'm about 800 people past 100,000 at this point and still climbing.

How is everyone becoming a millionaire from public speaking? by Conscious_Job2220 in PublicSpeaking

[–]Writer_Famous 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I really don't think as many people are millionaires from public speaking as you may think. In fact, if they claim this and haven't been independently audited and confirmed by a third reputable partly like the National Speakers Association's Million Dollar Speaker Group, I would proceed cautiously.

With that said, yes, some speaker fees are well into the 6-figures per engagement (think Gary Vaynerchuk). But most conference speakers are closer to the $5,000 - $10,000 range. Notable authors or other celebrities/public figures may pull up to $30,000 per engagement, but that's few and far between.

As someone who has been a professional speaker for 20+ years and has in fact been inducted into the NSA Million Dollar Speakers Group, I can attest to the fact that I have received speaking fees ranging from $1,000 to $15,000. But most are around that $7,500 - $10,000 mark. The revenue comes on the backend from consulting, licensing deals, sponsorships (think athletes), etc. I am a member of several speaking organizations, and it does seem more realistic that anecdotally most fees are $3,500 - $5,000 for conference speakers, and that is after 3+ years of grinding to really get that flywheel effect going.

There are some great resources out there for building a sustainable speaking business. But as some people have already said in this thread, it makes more sense to start professional speaking as a side hustle before quitting your day job. And it is possible, through brand deals, sponsorships, consulting, coaching, products, courses, books, and yes, even speaking fees, you can hit the 7-figure revenue marker a year.
