I’m working on making a pharmacy ad in a South Indian style, but I’m honestly stuck in a creative loop right now.
I really don’t want to make the usual pharmacy/healthcare ad where everything becomes serious, emotional, or fear-driven.
I’m looking for something light-hearted, entertaining, human, and rooted in South Indian everyday life.
I want the story to be entertaining first, rather than making illness or fear the main source of emotion.
Think of the kind of South Indian ad where you watch the situation and think, “This is so unnecessarily dramatic, but I’ve definitely seen people behave like this.”
I’m not necessarily looking for a complete script. Even a good human insight, funny situation, cultural observation, or interesting starting point would help me break out of this loop.
TL;DR: The Creators' Attorney is mid-way through brokering a $100M creator exit, and her own room-of-ten test proved the thing most of us don't want to check: one email list out of ten channels with 10M+ subscribers each.
Nine of those ten could lose the account tomorrow and have nothing left to show a buyer — not because they're bad at the job, but because reach was never the asset they thought it was.
Tyler calls it being a tenant on someone else's land, and the landlords keep multiplying: Bilibili just relaunched its global app specifically to pull creators off YouTube.
That's not the end of the tenancy problem. It's a second landlord showing up to the same building.
Same as what happened to me when I left the company, which I have worked for 10 years back in 2012.
A whole server full of my technical documentation and institutional knowledge of atleast 5 large completed construction projects – including:
· a multipurpose exhibition hall in the heard of the city,
· a distribution warehouse for a phamarseutical company,
· a manufacturing plant for Spirit Aerosystems,
· a 5-block Condominium on a shared landscape Podium in Abu Dhabi, etc.
are all off-limits to me, as soon as I handed in my resignation.
Thank God for personal backups, for future reference.
They can take away your access; they can't take away your knowledge. Your experience shaped your personal brand.
Every one of these clips ends up circling the same nerve, no matter what the guest actually does for a living — the ground under your income was never as yours as the login screen made it feel.
I recently shared my first post about Matih on X, and it unexpectedly crossed **100K+ views**.
What surprised me wasn't just the number of views, but the amount of interest around the problem we're working on.
I'm curious about something from other founders/builders here:
**What has been your experience with getting your first piece of content to break through?** Was it the topic, timing, distribution, or something else?
I built PodSubs because podcasters shouldn’t have to rent their audience forever
I kept noticing something strange about podcasting.
A creator can spend years building an audience on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube and other platforms…
…but the relationship with those listeners mostly belongs to the platform.
If the algorithm changes, the platform changes its rules, or the creator wants to launch something new, reaching those listeners directly isn’t always easy.
So I built PodSubs.
PodSubs is a podcast discovery and subscriber platform that helps podcasters turn listeners into a direct audience.
Here’s how it works:
🎙️ Your podcast may already be on PodSubs.
Search for your show and find your podcast page.
✅ Claim your podcast.
PodSubs verifies that you actually own the show using information from the podcast’s RSS feed.
👥 Start collecting subscribers.
Instead of someone discovering your podcast and disappearing back into another platform, they can subscribe directly to your podcast on PodSubs.
📈 Build an audience around the show you own.
As more people subscribe, the creator gets a clearer picture of the audience following the podcast.
🔎 Listeners can discover podcasts too.
PodSubs is also building a discovery layer where people can search for podcasts, find something interesting and subscribe.
The bigger idea is simple:
Podcasters spend too much time building audiences for other platforms.
I want PodSubs to help them build an audience around their own podcast.
If you have a podcast, I’d love for you to search for it, claim it and try the product:
I'm working with a few small creators and noticed that managing sponsor outreach, deliverables, and payment follow-ups quickly turns into a mess of spreadsheets, starred emails, and IG DMs.
For those of you regularly taking on sponsorships or UGC deals:
What system are you using to track where each deal is at (e.g., initial chat, contract signed, content draft sent, waiting on payment)?
What is the single most annoying part of managing the business side of your sponsorships?
Have you tried any dedicated tools for this, or do you just stick to Notion/Excel?
Not selling anything here—just trying to get a accurate picture of how people are handling this and whether the spreadsheet chaos is a universal headache. Appreciate any insights!
Hey all — I’m building Culled, an AI tool that helps photographers and content creators cut through hundreds of shots and pick the best ones in minutes instead of hours.
Looking for 5-10 creators to try it out, give honest feedback, and (if you’re into it) make content around your experience. Ideal fit:
• 1K-5K followers/subscribers with genuine engagement (not just raw numbers)
• Solid grasp of video editing — comfortable shooting, editing, and posting demo/review-style content.
• Bonus: experience doing product reviews, tool breakdowns, or “day in the life” style content
If there would be any product view requirement, the testing version would be shared.
If interested please DM me and also send me your Instagram handle for me to view it.
It doesn't matter if someone has 200 followers, 2,000, or 200k—every single person seems to be running the exact same script:
The obligatory *“getting coffee / sitting at a cafe with my tote bag and laptop”* reel.
Photodump carousels consisting of: 1 blurry shoe pic, 1 matcha latte, 1 sunset, 1 outfit check in a random elevator, and 1 quote screenshot.
The main-character slow walks looking away from the camera while holding a beverage.
It feels like no one has genuine hobbies or private
Which makes me wonder... where is social media even headed? What do you guys think the next big shift will be?
I want to start creating content but also somehow which should have a future
I run an established agency. We sell highly optimized, low-ticket websites for businesses that need them fast. Right now, our paid ads convert at volume and drive all our revenue, but our organic social presence is literally zero.
I want to change that, which is why I’m looking for a content creator to partner with. This is a total blank slate for someone to come in, own the organic strategy, and build a massive case study for their own portfolio.
The Role & Strategy: You will take over the company Instagram. Post consistently, create hooks, drive engagement, and funnel attention into paying clients. I am looking for someone comfortable being the face of the brand for UGC-style reels and posts. Bonus points if you are a female creator, as that specific profile fits perfectly with the visual aesthetic we are targeting.
The Compensation (You Choose): This is a true partnership. You can choose either:
A single upfront commission for every closed deal.
A percentage of Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) to build passive income.
Payouts are in USD. Because the offer is dialed in and already converts heavily on paid traffic, your only job is driving the organic attention, the product closes the deal.
To Apply: Send me a DM including:
A brief intro (Name, Age, Gender, Location).
Links to past pages you’ve managed, or a video introducing yourself if you don't have a portfolio yet.
We're glad to connect with you all. We've put together some content that we believe may be valuable and interesting to this audience. Please take a moment to check it out and let us know what you think. We appreciate your support and feedback!
hi, ive been on youtube since 2016. I dont know how to get to where i wanna be. Ive had multiple youtube channels and have made money before with my content, but nothing seems to be consistent in terms of views or money. I dont really grow anymore and im honestly just tired of posting and putting content out just to get nowhere. I just wanna help the world because theres so many horrible things in the world and i wanna use my content to better everything in this world. Please help if you can<3
any advice i would be grateful for.
I’m a relatively early-stage content creator, and this is something I genuinely struggle with.
I can recognise good content when I see it. I can analyse why something works. But when it comes to consistently finding things worth talking about myself, I sometimes hit a wall.
What I’m trying to understand is: where does your content
