NO FOMO with Non Fungible Tokens: NFT 365 Podcast

Creator Strategy

Social Audio is no doubt the trendy thing in 2021 but it wasn't till June of 2021 that the wars between platforms have really hit the mainstream.   Clubhouse was the first to market and there were some side apps popping up but just this week Facebook Live Audio and Spotify Greenroom took over the headlines.  But it's easy to compare features and talk about startup app vs big brand app or startup focused on community vs big brand focused on audio...  In this episode, I get away from debating which is better Clubhouse or Twitter Spaces or Spotify Greenroom and move towards what we need to think about when it comes to strategy in a medium that is new...   What is the strategy needed to be an early adopter that doesn’t get caught up in the noise. When is it important to test and tweak vs go all-in with a strategy. Creator coins disrupting how we look at monetizing these platforms like with ADHDcoin.com  What are the key steps for a strategy to make success possible   Define and visualize success Map out goals with data that is measurable  Look at audience and platform differences within targets and focus.  The last 45 minutes I pulled up 6 friends to ask questions and share their thoughts doing a little bit of live coaching and strategy work.   Dr. Aditi  Dana Bowling Nidhi Tewari  Gary Henderson Evan Kirstel James Nickerson   We also talked about Discord and the creator economy and the impact this all has with creator coins and how I’m looking at brand partnerships…  ——— MISFIT MAFIA ————  Text: PODCAST To +1 (703) 686-8551 to join the Discord server which launches around MISFIT MAFIA and creator economy:  Creators Speaking &amp; Storytelling  Multi-Hyphenated Marketing &amp; Social Media

Social Audio Wars: Creator Strategy on Clubhouse, Spotify Greenroom, Twitter Spaces and others!

Three months ago, I had the opportunity to apply for a creator coin on Rally.IO. After researching, I figured it fit well within my influencer marketing, affiliate marketing, brand sponsorship, and executive mastermind blueprint. I could give people the option to purchase with dollars or m coin…  3 months later, and man, was I wrong….   Ok, I guess I wasn’t wrong altogether, but using creator coins in a transactional way is a small aspect of the creator coin value. It’s taken me 3 months of research, testing, and collaborating to truly understand how creator coins IMHO will massively disrupt the creator economy.  Ps. I applied on the website to get the creator coin, and applications are available for anyone… my advice is to think about a unique use case for your 1k true fans! https://vip.rally.io/ On this episode I breakdown:  Why the creator economy is less about influencers and more about community empower collaboration. How influencer, affiliate, network, online course creation, and subscription-based masterminds fit inside the creator economy, but their value will drastically increase for both creators and consumers.  Although there is a crypto element of creator coins leveraging blockchain technology, the economy created around the coin can be as unique as the creator.. How Rally.IO allows creators to design use-cases and benefits for those that hold the coin while also developing time-based campaigns for the community to purchase with their coin. How simply holding the $ADHD coin over the last 3 months, there has been over 23k in $RLY coins rewarded to the community and me, the creator. The role transparency, exclusivity, and “True fans” play within a creator economy, empowering creators such as Portugal the Man to go all-in to even their surprise. They didn’t want to ever create a fan club as they were concerned by it coming across as just monetizing the super fans or, worse, taking advantage of them.  How offering different access levels has launched $Gary coin into the top 10 coins while also offering exclusive private masterminds for those simply holding a certain amount of coins on a specific date.   (Kudos Gary Henderson and thanks for your mentorship these last 3 months. ) Read Gary’s take on creator coins here: https://www.digitalmarketing.org/blog/what-are-creator-coins   The power of a community-driven project within a decentralized world makes Rally.IO the leader in disrupting and innovating within this creator coin and soon-to-be NFT space. How I look at holding creator coins differently than cryptocurrency, but I do hold both and do refresh those pages daily.   Lastly why I believe the creator economy’s true power comes down to this simple equation:  Access + Exclusivity + We &gt; Me Mindset = Community Empowerment!  The creator economy, much like the industrial revolution, the consumer economy, and Web 2.0, will take some time to evolve and be adopted universally. Still, as of June 2021, I’m all in on its power to do what I’ve always believed the digital world was meant to do…  Connect good people with good people doing good things together to do great things and be significantly rewarded while doing what you love. I challenge you to research and think about the unique ways you could be a creator and/or support creator within this economy, as this isn’t financial advice. I’m learning along with you, but I believe the possibilities are endless!  Press the DAMN BUTTON and get you some ADHDcoin.com today and take advantage of the offer I mentioned in the video, which will be dropping soon!   What is the ADHD Creator Coin: Anyone holding $ADHD coin can receive Rally Rewards, which are provided to coin holders when the ADHD coin is eligible for rewards in the form of $RLY tokens. The more people that hold $ADHD coin the better the rewards! Share on social and tag $ADHD and/or @iSocialFanz and I will reshare   Check out the 7 ways Creator coins are different than cryptocurrency, membership sites and fan clubs here:  https://www.instagram.com/p/CQESAw3N_u-/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

How Creators and Speakers are using Clubhouse to Grow Their Business

 I've spent a massive amount of time on the newest social media shiny object CLUBHOUSE, the social audio app taking over how we connect while also diving into Twitter Spaces as a beta host as well.   On this episode I breakdown why I think social audio is so unique and the impact it will have on other social networks and even my thoughts on what it must inspire us to do as a society!   Even if you aren't on clubhouse or twitter spaces and maybe you were on them but you hate them I challenge you to listen to this episode not because I'm going to convince you of their value rather I believe the greater message is about going back to the past to re-invent the future.   "Clubhouse is the ONLY social network app that prioritizes CONVERSATIONS over CONTENT!"  I believe the future of business is community and innovation is powered by collaboration and there is no social network available that enables these two things more than Clubhouse!  I've also curated using my favorite app Flipboard all of the blog posts and articles on Clubhouse that I feel are worth reading.   Links mentioned:   $ADHD Creator coin at Rally.IO https://www.rally.io/creator/ADHD/  Clubhouse 101, Tips and tricks:  https://www.isocialfanz.com/post/clubhouse-too-good-to-be-true  Clubs on Clubhouse: https://Misfitmafia.club https://ADHDSuperPOWERED.club Clubhouse profile: https://www.joinclubhouse.com/@isocialfanz

Live #Podcast Recording of #FOMOFanz the Brian Fanzo show Multistreaming and sponsored by Restream.IO https://restream.io/?ref=PGOMW FOMOFanz began as a selfish content creation method for me. I was already hosting two interview shows, and running two twitter chats, and I had reached a point of live streaming just to live stream was no longer in my brand strategy. But I knew I needed something that would keep me in the live streaming game, but I didn't want to manage another podcast or live show with guests and other people's calendars... So I thought what if I did a solo podcast and could record whenever I want and talk about whatever I want... GENIUS! Since it's launching, the name has changed from F.O.M.O.Fanz to FOMOFanz to FOMO Fanz and the mission statement went from "Helping you embrace your fear of missing out" to "Helping you cure your fear of missing out." In typical form for content I create, I had a broad "niche" that I would attempt to squeeze into. Still, quickly after 5 episodes, I realized as the CEO of Team No Niche that it was just silly. I would talk about a wide range of topics and bring the conversation back to help understand the changing future... After launching an interview podcast called "Press The Damn Button" I was presented with the question of what I should do with this podcast. Should I merge it within FOMOFanz or keep it separate. Press The Damn Button is modeled after my favorite podcast Arm Chair Expert by Dax Shepard. He does a great job of having a mix of content with interviews, live shows, and "expert on expert" that live within Armchair expert but also have separate feeds. Before, I decided what I was going to do with FOMOFanz March 2020 hit. Then after attempting to record two episodes and not feeling it for the first time in the 4+ years of the show, I realized anything with the concept of "fear" in it while dealing with a pandemic isn't appropriate. This was also the perfect excuse/valid reason to pause FOMOFanz and move forward with Press The Damn Button. Enter August 2020, 5 months after the pause. I was fielding lots of comments about if the show would come back, and many of 2019 episodes were getting some fantastic downloads still. So 168 days after pausing the show, it's been renamed, rebranded, and remodeled once again to FOMOFanz: The Bran Fanzo Podcast. And as I reflect back on the 1,370 days since launching FOMOFanz, I'm genuinely thankful for each and every listener that has given me their time. Allowed me to share my thoughts. Allowed me to use this podcast to rant. Allowed me to vent and in many cases, use this show as my own self-therapy. I'm genuinely thankful for each of you and excited for what is next! -- Sponsored and Multi-streamed by Restream.io Stream live video to 30+ social platforms AT THE SAME TIME with Restream.io Go live on YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter to reach a wider audience.

I don't think of myself as a creative as I can't write or sing or dance or draw but I do love telling stories and creating content to grow my business and tell my story and often people are confused on why I do this and what value it has for my business. On this episode I'm going to tackle the following questions around my strategies, struggles, and insights into creating content as a Business Minded Content Creator: - Why I use my content and community as my outbound marketing strategy? - Mindset shift required to create content to a community that you aren't directly monetizing - What value does free content have for brands that want to sponsor your content or hire you as an influencer? - Why does the strategy have to be different for a creative vs a business-minded content creator? - Why it's sometimes more valuable to connect and create content for those who influence your end buyer than your end-buyer directly? - Value of relatability and community as an entrepreneur and content creator Thank you for inspiring me and keeping me motivated FomoFanz Community! - Brian Fanzo

081: Advice For Business-Minded Content Creators

Fyre Festival was a disaster and thanks to the Netflix &amp;  Hulu documentaries that were released recently there’s been a ton of buzz around the con as well as the strategies and tactics used by the event and the agencies working on it.   After watching both Fyre Festival documentaries on  Netflix and  Hulu I sat back on my couch with the tv off for well over an hour taking notes on my feelings and thoughts for the shit show that was the Festival, the horrible human con man Billy McFarland, how badly I felt for those that paid money to attend the event and also all those screwed out of money and never paid for the work they completed… But beyond all that I was also sick to my stomach at how HORRIBLE both documentaries portrayed and SHAMED the attendee’s of this event, millennials as a generation, value of social media, role of influencer marketing and role/impact of digital marketing agencies! The entire Fyre Festival is a case study in itself of what BAD people can do with great power and visibility but I would take it a step further and say both of these documentaries took it upon themselves to attack industries, generations, and professions based on this one massive one big bad example. I preach on every stage that we MUST focus more on the good people doing good things to drown out the bad while learning from the bad examples but understanding they are the exceptions, not the rules! After watching both documentaries and looking over my notes I decided to do my own research online reading 20+ blogs that covered the event and watching each documentary a second time to see if my opinion and thoughts changed while also doing my best to focus this time on only the business lessons learned. I will admit it was hard to focus only on the business lessons while watching as both documentaries are very slanted in their portrayal of the event with each having their own agenda which as a marketer I completely understand and can see through while also believing that many who watched these documentaries aren’t as aware of which inspired me to do my best to filter the noise and break down my insights into two different sections, the Fyre Festival event itself and the documentaries. On this episode I cover:  What was the Fyre Festival and why it has all this buzz today? Why the strategy of the festival itself was genius? How the power of collaboration was on display and why it worked How I feel both documentaries did a BAD job at keeping agenda out of the films and one of them did a much worse job than the other. What marketing lessons we can learn from this:   App Marketing Strategy Social Media Marketing Video Marketing Influencer Marketing Experience Marketing FOMO Marketing Millennial Marketing   Why the shamming and blame labeled towards millennials is nasty and does nothing but distance generations. Why the influencer marketing strategy used for this event was GENIUS and what aspects led to it having so much power? Power of Social Good How we as consumers must focus on educating eachother on doing our research to not empower the scam artists and con men not just blame and hate on others!  Now I didn’t attend the event and although I followed it closely on social media prior to the event and as the event was taking place I won’t claim to know everything rather I wanted to share my thoughts based on what I’ve read and what I watched of the documentaries. Side Note: There are so many lessons that can be learned from this but one that I hope we highlight is that GOOD PEOPLE will rally for GOOD PEOPLE always and that’s the case with the GoFundMe account happening right now raising money for the owner of the Exuma Point restaurant already raising over 180k+:https://www.gofundme.com/exuma-point-fyre-fest-debt and a second GoFundMe for the workers of Bahrain:  https://www.gofundme.com/the-exuma-foundation-for-victims-of-fyre-festival I’d love to hear your thoughts by tweeting me @iSocialFanz

091: Fyre Festival: Beyond the con, Business lessons from the event and documentaries!

Brene Brown

For the past 3 years I’ve had a notebook on my coffee table or really multiple notebooks where I record different notes, emotions and thoughts while binge watching tv.  Now just to put it out there I LOVE binge watching tv shows and find its a hobby of mine that allows my brain to switch gears much in the way going to the gym for some people helps them avoid burnout.     The “tv notetaking” started with simple notes or ideas that were invoked while watching my favorite shows like Parenthood or Sons of Anarchy or Making of a Murder documentary and then I began to be more structured in my notetaking.  Now when I watch shows I first watch an episode or special with the goal of consuming it as a fan but often times I go back and consume it a second or third time with the goal of studying and analyzing the storytelling. This past week I took structured detailed notes while watching 3 drastically different programs: Game of Thrones, Brene Brown Netflix Special and Beyonce Homecoming documentary and I was blown away by how much I learned and how I could take something from each to improve my storytelling on my new speaker website, my podcast content and how I tell stories both on video and on stage as a keynote speaker. On this episode of FOMOFanz I share the structure of the notes, what I look for and how I connect what I learn about camera positioning in Game of Thrones to how I will stand and position a story I plan on telling next week on stage at an event I’m speaking at.     It doesn’t matter if its a book you’re reading or YouTube channel you subscribe to, I believe storytelling is amazing because we can never perfect it and we can also be learning from the stories we consume.  I challenge you to listen to this episode and start taking notes

I don't love and preach about the power of social media because I think of it as entertainment or want to become famous or even grow followers as I'm all about leveraging these platforms to grow my business. In 2018, Over 80% of my revenue was generated via social media and for the first time I decided to breakdown my strategy for content and social media on the FOMOFanz podcast.

The Social Media Strategy that will Generate 80% of your Revenue

When I think travel I immediately think about Instagram and the travel influencers I know that are making it big having the “dream job” of getting paid to travel the world.  But as I’ve been working and speaking at travel/hospitality events in 2018 the tone of most in the audience is of one that either feels digital has hurt their brand or they aren’t sure how to sell what they do on social media.   On this episode, I share my experience at an amazing luxury travel event that I spoke at called Virtuoso Travel Week and I discuss the following questions and points:  How does “Luxury travel” marketing problems relate to most if not all businesses? What is experience marketing How are most in service-based industries thinking about experience marketing wrong? The irony of Simon Sinek being the keynote of this event where the “Why” was still a struggle for most? Why giving away all of secrets to how you do your business is smart? How do service based roles like a “travel agent” reach millennials and what kind of content should they be creating?  (Not the answer you might think)

087: The most underutilized functionality of social media

When most hear about selling online they either think about the overused term “social selling” or they think about the infomercial style selling where brands push webinars, online courses and free downloads in consumers faces to get them on their email list so they can hammer them with email upsells and limited space available marketing crap. I do believe in the power of social selling and know many people who do it well but the reason the other time of online selling works is because consumers have put up with it while realizing some of it might be valuable but most won’t.  Well in 2018 the digital attention of consumers has shifted away from these tactics and consumers are looking at new ways to gain new experiences and connect with stories and marketing that they feel is important. The Secret to Great Digital Storytelling! Relatability!  Why is most business done on the golf course at the hair salon or wherever else you are other than your actual physical work location.  It’s because you become relatable and people connect with you at a much deeper level than what you do or what you’re selling.  Sadly even though most of us understand this, when we move to digital and want to find similar results online we are only willing to talk about our work and want to appear perfect and have control of everything.  Not only does that not work but it shouldn’t be a surprise because it doesn’t work offline either. On this episode I pull from some examples I found last week while speaking at three unique events: Training Learning &amp; Development Conference, Gi Sports Paintball Distributor Day and US Sailing Leadership Forum.  All 3 events hired me, an outsider, to come in and give a keynote on the importance of digital storytelling and embracing change to grow with the digital native consumers.   Although I wasn’t an expert in their industry or sport I was able to find examples and scenarios that they could understand and all 3 events went amazingly well and it’s because I was able to be relatable.   After listening to this episode I want you to ask yourself, what works for selling my product or service or business offline and how can I take who I am and what sells offline and include that in my digital story online.   “3 out of 4 Millennials would choose to spend their money on an experience rather than buying something desirable.” Via Eventbrite: The Experience Movement: Research Report To create a great experience online and tell your story in a way that connects with those outside your close circle or business community you must be vulnerable, you must find ways to tell your story and ultimately your success will be determined by your ability to be relatable!

056: Can’t Fix Stupid In 2018

On FOMOFanz I have the luxury of talking about the future emerging technology Digital transformation the latest thing in digital marketing each week so on this episode I decided to focus on trans and why I think some of those trends are good and some of them are going to lead to really bad branded podcasts. The trends I discuss on this episode range from the idea that technology won't work to fix bad rules, for example, the Steelers versus patriots Game with the bad overturned call to how I think the explosion of audio will lead most brands to launch a podcast in 2018 and kill that same podcast in 2018. I'm always excited about the future but as you'll hear throughout this podcast I believe it's up to us the empowered consumer to celebrate those brands doing it right rather than what we usually focus on which is the mistakes and failures brands make when it comes to jumping on trends.

058: Trends to Follow To Avoid FOMO in 2018

On this episode host Brian Fanzo is fired up and in the mood to rant as so many entrepreneurs and those in digital marketing are looking up to and following the wrong people when it comes to business.  "Be careful who you model your business after... Many have followings, write books, are on podcasts &amp; live video yet make little to no money in the digital space! Look for those that are strategic &amp; transparent with everything the do while also providing value worth paying for!" How does Brian know this, he did the same thing for multiple years and once he realized he figured out how to split up his friends in the industry between those who are friends doing great things and those who are friends that are building a business in a way and process that I want to follow.   Brian shares how he looks at leaders and breaks down the difference between having imposter syndrome because others are saying it and being inspired knowing that others are talking but those aren't people that are building a business or are talking to his community. "What you are screams so loudly in my ears I cannot hear what you are saying."— Ralph Waldo Emerson Tweet on the topic: https://twitter.com/iSocialFanz/status/1097258666879844352 Those mentioned on the show:  Andrew Davis: https://www.akadrewdavis.com/ Tony Robbins: https://www.tonyrobbins.com/

095: Rant: How To Spot Fake Entrepreneurs

Every successful person with a niche preaches that you must have a niche to have success... What about those of us unable to focus on one thing this week let alone a niche? On this episode I breakdown what those without a Niche or who I'm referring to as #TeamNoNiche have to do differently to stand out from the noise, leverage their personal brand and grow their business that those with a solid niche don't have to focus on as much! I firmly believe that if you have a niche you should own it and crush it while also knowing that you need to have a plane if the niche fades or value changes... But for those without a niche that hear things like "Work smarter not just harder" this episode is for you, full of tangible and actionable ways you can still find success without having a current niche! I’m Recruiting for a new team.... #TeamNoNiche HIGH FIVE to all those that will never do just one thing &amp; believe it’s ok that they’ll never be able to answer the question of... What do you want to be when you grow up? Sorry!! I’ve got no plans on growing up &amp; will never be defined by just one thing and I’m finding massive success without worry of siloing my passions with a niche! -- Huge thanks to our NEW podcast sponsor FABL.CO which is the dynamic content platform at the foundation of my new keynote speaker website: www.BrianFanzo.com

What those without a NICHE must do differently to find success

Facebook is now focused on facilitate the most meaningful interactions between PEOPLE, rather than the previous mandate of helping people find the most meaningful content...  Full press release  here. Why this shift? Mark Zuckerberg stated that: “If what we’re here to do is help people build relationships, then we need to adjust.” So what does this mean for your business, what impact will this have on content creation and social media marketing as a whole?  I believe this will have a massive impact and a positive one once people understand the shift and are open to a new focused strategy on using social media especially Facebook to facilitate conversations, inspire and motivate their community and most importantly become relatable through leveraging initiatives such as employee advocacy and influencer marketing.   I've been preaching for many years that "Community is the future of business" and I believe Facebook with these changes will start empowering those brands that invest in community rather than those that gamify the system by sharing viral videos that simply attract spectat
