In the last 2 weeks, 200+ people reached out asking for help. Some were looking for angel investors, some for help connecting them to the right talent. But, most of them had one strange request. They wanted me to post about their startups/products on Linkedin, and they were ready to pay $$$. I had to pass because it's not in my best interest to do so but I dug this up. And now, from my research, I found out, that the B2B influencer industry is a thing and it's growing very fast. Around $200 million have been spent in the last 12 months by brands of all sizes to do paid partnerships with creators on Linkedin, newsletters, podcasts, etc catering to businesses/professionals. This is one of the best GTM strategies going forward. I also think companies like Limelight are doing a fantastic job (I am not affiliated with them). Anyway, this research led me to create a database of B2B influencers. If you want to access this, feel free to comment below. #saas #creatoreconomy #b2b #sales #gtm #ai

Taking a moment to reassess the tech your team uses on a regular basis was one of the learnings from this podcast with Jim Tobin. All of our businesses naturally evolve, software evolves, and getting the most value out of our tools is a continuous practice. But what resonated with me the most was his thoughts on the importance for brands to be entertaining or interesting in social media if they want to get noticed. Humor and surprise go a long way. Jim made the comment that too often brands play it safe which makes it easy for them to be ignored. I was recently at a high school graduation ceremony where the school president spoke to the audience of graduates and their families. What she said was fine, but it came across as very scripted, and was definitely not memorable. Storytelling is such a valuable life skill. And it's definitely a skill that can be learned, practiced, and improved at all ages. In fact, one of my 20-something colleagues and I were talking about the game #DungeonsandDragons in the office recently. I was asking how he played it because I imagine it's evolved from what it was when I was in my 20s, to being digital today. He confirmed that yes, there are digital versions of it, but at its essence, D&D is collaborative storytelling. I had no idea storytelling was part of Dungeons & Dragons! It makes it so much more interesting to me now. He said he's learned storytelling skills through D&D that he uses everyday while working with clients in his consulting role. Educating people through an entertaining story makes his job more fun, and makes the learning more enjoyable, and memorable, for clients also. You can listen to Jim's thoughts on being entertaining, and other wisdom he's learned as an entrepreneur, wherever you listen to podcasts.

For the last 4 months, I have been consuming knowledge like crazy on the creator economy. So what did I discover? - The Creator Economy is only going to get bigger. Its so-called "demise" has been greatly exaggerated - While 50% of marketing today is done through influencers, in the next 10 years it will jump up to 80%. Even some of the most reserved companies in the world like Apple have started investing in influencer marketing - The space has some of the best resources I have seen across the web in different mediums. Podcasts, LinkedIn and Twitter posts, Newsletters, YouTube Videos, etc. But these resources are scattered all over the place. So to help others navigate this space, the team at Superstar has compiled "The Creator Economy Ultimate Guide" featuring the best podcasts, newsletters, YouTube channels, and people to follow. This guide is the result of countless hours of research and due diligence, sifting through the noise to find the most valuable content.
