And I think what we're living through is a very dangerous transition for a group of people who are trying to earn a living and a comfortable living at that using their creativity. [00:00:15]it's also very dangerous because with that momentum comes this, misunderstanding that to do this, you need to be famous that you need to be an influencer. And I think fame and influence is becoming way too closely tied to the creator economy. [00:00:31]most importantly, this shifting mindset from essentially building on rented land like YouTube or Twitter and moving over to a platform you actually own like your own website and email list. [00:00:43] Naga S: [00:00:43] Hey Jay. Hello and welcome to the passionate people podcast. And thank you for taking the time [00:00:48] to be on the show. [00:00:49]Jay Acunzo: [00:00:49] Thanks for having me. I really appreciate it, [00:00:50]Naga S: [00:00:50] Jay, you have an extremely unique perspective, given your background in content marketing, the kind of shows that you've launched and the amazing work that you do at three clips. [00:01:01]So as, as we start. I would love to just get like a 30,000 feet view of the content landscape from your lens and how it looked at the start of 2020 and how COVID has changed it. [00:01:13]Jay Acunzo: [00:01:13] Yeah. I'd love to answer. I spend very little time thinking about the trends and what everyone else is doing, because if I did that, I think I would probably break down. [00:01:22]I'm so focused on trying to. Serve the audience that I'd like to serve that it's difficult to follow the trends, but I will say that I think what we're living through, you hear the phrase creator economy used quite often. And I think what we're living through is a very dangerous transition for a group of people who are trying to earn a living and a comfortable living at that using their creativity. [00:01:46]Because on the one hand you have momentum. Which is helping more and more people say, well, I have this craft, for me, I like to create shows. I like to tell stories about the workplace. Somebody else might focus on a different niche, [00:02:00] but I have this creative craft. It's never been a better time to go and build your own audience, which by the way means moving off of social media, using social media, but not stopping there, moving people to your website and your email list, building an audience. [00:02:14]And serving that audience more deeply with products and experiences that they pay for. So it's never been a better time for that, but it's also very dangerous because with that momentum comes this, misunderstanding that to do this, you need ...

[00:00:06] When I look at my podcasting journey and what my goals for podcasting was, I was never looking at monetizing the taste of India podcast from the perspective that most podcasters look at it , sponsorships andmaybe a merchandise or, ads. [00:00:21] So I wasn't looking at it from that perspective. My sole objective was to drive all of that traffic to my blog and then monetize my blog [00:00:30]But once you've done it, if you're able to drive traffic to it, , it's income that stays there, that's passive. So people just come visit those posts, click on those links, buy and you'll get paid a commission. [00:00:42] Naga S: [00:00:42] Hi, Dilip. Hello and welcome to the passion people podcast.

[00:01:01]R Dilip Kumar: [00:01:01] Thanks. I have been an affiliate marketers since 2003. Okay. So is when I first learned about affiliate marketing it wasn't purely affiliate marketing. I started off with understanding what blogging was, and that was when, blogging was slowly taking off. [00:01:18]I went into affiliate marketing because my objective of getting into blogging was to use the expertise or the knowledge that I had and make money. And just to give you a context, , 2002, 2003 was a time when. People who are making a lot of money using Google AdSense on their blogs and these blogs weren't really, extremely good content. [00:01:40] It was just some content that they were putting out there. They were putting some Google AdSense in there and they were kind of making money. So that is where I actually started. And Google AdSense, wasn't really a very reliable option for me. I diversified into learning, understanding what affiliate marketing is, [00:02:00] and that's how I got into affiliate marketing in 2003 is when I first put together my affiliate marketing website. [00:02:07] But. Slowly and gradually I kind of graduated into a little more advanced methods in affiliate marketing, building, very niche specific sites that is oriented towards affiliate marketing.

    2021/02/11
    Dive into how creators can curate and scale online communities as a key monetisation and engagement lever with Abhishek the chief curator of the Remote Indian Community. Abhishek is the creator of the RemoteIndian project - A vibrant community of more than 1400 members in India, some of whom are working at Doist, Gumroad, Gitlab, Prisma etc. This community enables Indian professionals to help each other navigate, balance and grow in a remote career. Insights from the episode can be translated in context of a specific show, target audience and value to be provided. The idea of normalising remote work in India came after Abhishek found a lot of joy working remotely as a Ruby on Rails developer in 2016.

And that's the great part about, , building a community you're scratching your itch, but then you also realize there are so many other, , human needs, which are being fulfilled. [00:00:20] The biggest of which is, , being connected with each other [00:00:23] I wanted to. Take this microphone that I had, and give it now to the community you don't want to be a place where you're the only person holding the microphone. [00:00:32] I want to keep it as open and accessible they might, feel that social debt of sorts to support the community [00:00:38] Naga S: [00:00:38] H ey Abhishek hello and welcome to the passionate people podcast.

We're talking about creators and how they're monetizing in the context of COVID and in, in the spectrum of monetization. I believe that community creation is a very important aspect that a lot of creators either miss out on, or don't think about it in the right way. [00:01:00]The reason I'm excited to be talking to you is because you have successfully, , conceptualized an idea for a community and scaled it to over a thousand members. So I'm really, really looking forward to our conversation. [00:01:13]Abhishek: [00:01:13] Thanks. Thanks for having me, man. [00:01:15] Naga S: [00:01:15] Super.

[00:01:34]I knew that, , this was something which I was always curious about this question, that, okay what is a good life and somewhere,the feeling was that going to an office job and, not having any say in where you could, , work from. I, I felt that wasn't right. [00:01:54] And obviously I am a guy who likes to pursue my curiosities or [00:02:00] pursue my questions very seriously. So, that's how, this whole journey started. It took awhile, but after three years, I really decided that ...

  • Podcasting in the Pandemic
    2021/01/27
    How has podcasting changed during the pandemic? We talk to a panel of international guests Mo (More Sibyl Podcast), Olivier (Awaken the Awesome), Bettina (NRI Woman) to pick their brains about listenership, how to win a sponsor, imposter syndrome and reflections on 2020 for these stellar podcasters in light of Covid-19. Reach out to Mo (More Sibyl Podcast) - Podcast - https://www.mosibyl.com/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/mosibyl/ e-mail - talktomo@mosibyl.com Reach out to Olivier (Awaken the Awesome) - Podcast - https://awakentheawesome.podbean.com/ FB - https://www.facebook.com/awakentheawesome e-mail - awakentheawesome@gmail.com Reach out to Bettina (NRI Woman) - Podcast - https://nriwoman.com/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/nri_woman e-mail - hello@nriwoman.com Reach out to Naga – Twitter - @n1n3stuff / @PassionPeop1 (https://twitter.com/ThePassionPeop1 ) Facebook - The Passion People Podcast email - naagasubramanya@gmail.com Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thepassionpeoplepodcast/ More about EpLog Media - You can follow us and leave us feedback on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter @eplogmedia, For advertising/partnerships send you can send us an email at bonjour@eplog.media.

Transcript [00:00:00] Olivier: [00:00:00] I think what worked for Joe Rogan is the community, not just from the fact that he brings a very, wide array of very interesting guests his approach, but what he really bank for him is a community. So Spotify recognize that, and there's a huge potential, a huge community that came with that. And also the numbers showed it on YouTube. So I think the community is a very, is a very big aspect of it. [00:00:19] Bettina T: [00:00:19] So what are my options? Is it sponsorship? Is it going to be you know, selling merchandise? Is it going to get consulting gigs? Is it about creating a new product? It's exclusively with my audience. Is it about creating a product with a sponsor that then fits with my audience? So there are so many different avenues that one can consider. [00:00:36]And by sponsoring the podcast, they are reaching out to those women in a way that would be much more cost effective versus just advertising on say Facebook or Instagram or whatever. So I think because of that you know, that niche definition of our audience there is an alignment for certain sponsors who are keen to come on the show. [00:00:55] Mo: [00:00:55] It took me while can I get comfortable with asking people to chip into my passion [00:01:00] project? Because I felt that when I started, I wasn't putting a lot of effort into it and I felt like a, almost like a fraud asking them to put money [00:01:08]Naga S: [00:01:08] hey everyone. Hello and welcome to a very, very special episode of the passionate people podcast. Today, we have Olivia Mo and Betina who are all fellow podcasters, and we're going to discuss about how podcasting has changed for them over the last eight to 10 months because of COVID and what they're doing in terms of their monetization efforts. [00:01:32]Let me again, take a moment to thank you for taking the time out. And I'm just so excited and so pumped to be having this conversation because we've all been part of our community of podcasters, and I'm really excited to know how things have been for you guys. So my first question at the start is that how has your listener numbers changed over the last eight to 10 months? [00:01:56] And have you. Been running the show continuously, or [00:02:00] are you on a season break. [00:02:01]Mo: [00:02:01] So my show usually takes a hiatus between December and April, and it was kind of a good opportunity for me to at least at least take that break without having to worry about putting my show on another break because of the virus. And so when April came around, I started really slow. [00:02:19] Did something on mental health? Check-in I didn't want to get people on zoom and do like a live show cause everybody was doing live shows then. So, no, I haven't taken a break as far as listenership. Well, the numbers are in so good. Cause I use anchor, which is also another thing we can talk about. It's not really great ...

  • Online SMB Retail x Creator Economy with Pete Davis
    2021/01/05
    In conversation with Pete who is Founder and CEO of Ampjar, a karmic advertising community that helps small brands to acquire customers through a fast and simple exchange of shout outs. We discuss the evolution of marketing, the similarities of SMB Online Retail and the Creator Economy and what creators can do today to amplify their reach and genuinely reach out to their target audience in a way that reflects their personal brand. Prior to running Ampjar, Pete ran a social and digital media agency which worked with household name brands in 6 countries. Pete sold the business to Private Equity in 2017. Reach out to Peter - LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/peterjamesdavis/ AmpJar - ampjar.com/lets-grow e-mail - pete@ampjar.com Reach out to Naga – Twitter - @n1n3stuff / @PassionPeop1 (https://twitter.com/ThePassionPeop1 ) Facebook - The Passion People Podcast email - naagasubramanya@gmail.com Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thepassionpeoplepodcast/ More about EpLog Media - You can follow us and leave us feedback on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter @eplogmedia, For advertising/partnerships send you can send us an email at bonjour@eplog.media.

Transcript [00:00:00] Pete: [00:00:00] these small businesses have all these platforms that they're meant to be using like Facebook advertising, like SEO, like Google advertising. [00:00:10] And they just don't have the bandwidth to learn how to, how to use it because they just have so many other things that they're doing in their business. [00:00:17]But the way that we see it is that this is a movement in our minds towards giving the control back to the brands. So giving them more autonomy to control how they advertise, because essentially what we're trying to do is create a third model [00:00:33]. So I'm the founder and CEO of a company called amp jar. I'm actually based down in Melbourne Australia right now. So we're actually a us company, but I live down here. It's home. So it's a good place to kind of shelter while all this COVID things going on. And yeah, Ampjar is a community of brands that shout each other out through various channels to help each other grow. [00:00:56] So we have hundreds of brands all over the U S [00:01:00] Canada, Australia. New Zealand is our focus markets at the moment. Yeah, they shout each other out through social or emails or post checkout on their website. And the whole intent of it really is these small brands have incredible relationships with their customers relationships that are just stronger than I've ever seen anywhere before in marketing. [00:01:19] And what we're trying to do is help these brands. Team up work together so that customer acquisition is something that they can do together rather than having to go to platforms like Facebook or Google to get that amplification and to meet new customers. [00:01:32]Naga S: [00:01:32] And ideally what is the size of these businesses and what, what are they into. [00:01:36] Pete: [00:01:36] Yeah. So typically the main type of customer for us is a smaller business. So someone who maybe has. Four five, six employees is kind of core to us. And sometimes we have people who are just on their own. Sometimes we have people who have 20 employees, but maybe core is that small team with a handful of people. [00:01:55]And more often than not, they are what we call [00:02:00] independent retail. So someone who has a product. They're not dropshippers, you know, they, they have their own product. They have their own social channels. They sell a product through a website, like a Shopify style website they're really authentic businesses. [00:02:14] Naga S: [00:02:14] Got it. And what, what would drive the decision of these businesses to you know, choose to come to Ampjar as against traditional modes of marketing? [00:02:23] Pete: [00:02:23] Yeah, absolutely. So my background was, was marketing. So I, before doing this, I ran a marketing agency. So we run it down here in Melbourne. We built it to having 20 staff and we worked in six countries , we worked with some incredible brands I would say that there was a time in there where I was the expert. [00...

[00:00:05]Naga S: [00:00:05] A good place to start would be to tell us what your passion is and how you're making it manifest. [00:00:13]Omkar: [00:00:13] I'm a cinematographer. I work, in Bombay as a freelance cinematographer. I, Majorly love to shoot, nonfiction, the documentary films, but has documentaries. Don't provide a lot of, financial help, in India, especially I, I do, sort of like digital commercials and short films, and I do aspire to, get into fiction filmmaking as well. [00:00:37]that is also a long-term target. [00:00:41] Naga S: [00:00:41] Got it. So how is, so there, there are all these terms, right? Like there's a director, there's a producer, there's a cinematographer. So what, what do all these different people do? And, in that, what, what do you specifically do? [00:00:53] Omkar: [00:00:53] Okay. So I am a cinematographer. So my department is, camera, lighting, [00:01:00] collaborating with the director, before we go on the shoot. my job is to collaborate with the director and, sort of, combine his vision with the technical, know-how that is needed because filmmaking is ultimately, it's an art, but it's a scientific art. [00:01:16]there's a lot of, science that goes behind, how you capture the images, how you record the sound. So, it's filmmaking in itself is a collaboration of various kinds of people who are, who specialize in various different departures. So, Peter, who has a vision for that particular story? He has, he has seen the film already in his head even before, he sets foot on the stage on the, on the set. [00:01:44] So it's the cinematographer's job to really, understand his vision, how he sees the film, and try to get it, on camera. So that's, that's predominantly the job. [00:01:57]Naga S: [00:01:57] Got it. the shift from [00:02:00] engineering to, you know, something on the creative lens must be, must be a big one. So what, what inspired you, or what pushed you to make that shift happen? [00:02:08]Omkar: [00:02:08] okay. So, let me go back B before, engineering to answer your question. So as a child, actually my father used to, so are you, you remember how on-duty version? every Friday and Saturday and Sunday, they would be filmed in the evening. So, so my father and he used to be home, on, on the weekends, he would, Said set me down, before the film would start and he's a huge fan. [00:02:35] So, and every time there would be a film playing, he would sit me down like an half an hour before the film would start. And he would, you know, very, enthusiastically, he would explain, he would tell me this is going to happen in this film. This film is about that. And he's going to do this. He's going to do that. [00:02:55] And it used to be very exciting for me because. my father is in general, a [00:03:00] very shy person. So, he was, he's very reserved kind of a person. So this was like a , rare, chance for me to, you know, have some kind of a bond with him. And that's how, this fascination for films really grew for me from my childhood , I used to watch a lot of films as a kid, when I was in my junior college, I used to bunk college and go watch films, at the theater. [00:03:26] And, and then, when I was in engineering college, what happened actually was like, unfortunately, in the first year of my engineering college, I had an accident and, my leg was like burned from a side and I underwent an operation and. Because of that. I had to sit out a year, the, my first year of engineering. [00:03:47] I [00:03:47] Naga S: [00:03:47] Oh, [00:03:48] Omkar: [00:03:48] I could not. Yeah, I could not give my, second semester exams. It's like the accident happened just a day before, my maths exam on of the second [00:03:57] Naga S: [00:03:57] wow. Almost seems like it's on [00:04:00] purpose. [00:04:00] Omkar: [00:04:00] Yeah, you could say, so like in hindsight, I'm happy about it, but yeah, so I had to sit out there exams and, and so I had one year of nothing that's and, I was pretty clueless. [00:04:13] I mean, first year you have no idea what to do in life., I was just home jobless and, this friend of mine from college, he, one day he would, he just came up to me and he said, why don't you join the theater circle of the college? And, you know, instead of doing that thing, you could just watch films, like, read books or something like that. [00:04:37] So that kind of, just gave me something to do. So pony has a lot of, theater culture, especially into college competitions. So I did that. And while doing that, I got in touch with some ...
