#TechTroublemaker #ContentCreation #How-Tos #discord #ecammfam

My Guest this week is Keely Dunn (known online as the @DiscordCoach ) who is going to help us get a jump start on Discord so you Don’t Panic at the Discord (see what I did there). We will talk about what the heck is Discord? Why you want to use it (even if you don’t know that you do)? And some Discord basics. Wouldn’t it be neat to use Discord for a Live Stream Pre-Show? How about if you do tech support for a product? Have your customers visit your Discord server to ask Questions. Say what? Yeah, let’s do some Discord Basics and get you started.

Keely Dunn is a multi-preneur content creator. As FHumpires (pronounced “Eff Heich Umpires”), she educates field hockey umpires, players, coaches and fans worldwide and supports umpires to perform at their best.

#contentcreators #techtroublemaker #monetization

Are you creating content as a hobby or have you just not broken the monetization requirements yet? Or maybe you have but you haven’t focused yourself to make a business of your content creation efforts? When is it time to turn your passion into a business; potentially passion into profits? If you are like me, you have probably spent a lot of money on subscriptions like TubeBuddy, VidIQ, Epidemic Sound, perhaps your streaming software, Restream, etc, production tools like microphones, cameras, lights.

How do you at least make back the money you have invested in your efforts? James Hicks of Hicks New Media, https://www.youtube.com/@JamesHicks will be our guest teaching us the Basics of forming an LLC (granted each states’ laws are different), Merchandising, and Affiliate Marketing and his experiences.
