Greetings Cre8tor Crew! We hope this past week was phenoms for you and that this week won’t disappoint either! Some of you may have seen on @lloydnotgeorge’s socials last week, that we got to film & record our pod at the Spotify Labs podcast studio here in LA. It’s okay, don’t feel like a pleb if you haven’t had the honor of recording there yet, we’re clearly moving up in the world post our 19 days of being in LA. Don’t worry, we won’t get ‘Hollywood’ on you. We’ll put your name on the list to record for May 34th at 29pm. Text us if you have any issues with security.

Jokes! Relax, we are so regular I was waiting on someone to realize we don’t even go there! But alas, as my mother-in-law says, “God doesn’t call the qualified, he qualifies the called.”🙌🏾 So, see you at the top fellow Normies…btw our idea of ‘the top’ is being able to afford Uber Black to all the functions. 🤷🏽‍♀️#Don’tYuckOurYum

Pod News

Our newest episode of the Cre8tor Hub pod dropped! We discussed our progress toward our goals for the month of April. Tune in to hear how we kicked off the second quarter. Sneak Peek: In April we made a little over $4800 in brand deals. Is it time to hire private security?? 👀

Spotify Pod Monetization is becoming more of a reality. Learn more about the opportunity for monetization for your pod and the requirements on their site.

YouTube Podcasting Numbers…poor? So apparently no one wants to watch podcasts on YouTube without their video component? We are thinking it’s a tad early to say yea or nay on this so don’t let it discourage you. Think of it this way, no one could have ever told us the Crocs brand would ever be more than a chef’s most prized possession besides their knives, but then came Salehe Bemberry 💪🏾

TikTok

TT just rolled out a secret creator fund that’s invite-only. Didn’t get your invite? Don’t worry we didn’t either. I’m positive it’s on the way! Will ‘being delusional’ help in this scenario 🧐

Instagram

UGC expanded opportunities for Brand Partnerships. IG is updating policies and affiliate marketing to make it easier for creators to work with brands. There may be real opportunities for us that bud from this so read more to learn all the deets.

Meta

Sunsets ‘Red Table Talk’...and some other stuff, respectfully. Hmmm. Hmmm. Woooow. But seriously, this one upset me and my homegirls…but we all know Red Table Talk will live to fight another day, on a major network for the right price of course.

LinkedIn

Increased Engagement…Again. I mean atp LinkedIn is the overachiever in the classroom who reminds the teacher she forgot to take up the term papers. We get it LinkedIn, you eat engagement for breakfast! Speaking of top performers, check out creators Brandon, Jayde & Roshanda. These three creators are setting the bar on the platform at the pearly gates 🤯
