This is a masterclass on Podcast monetization. I dive deep into the world of podcasting and YouTube content creation with a special guest, Omar Eltakrori, who has mastered the art of podcasting for massive success. We start by discussing how my guest has achieved incredible financial milestones. The conversation then shifts to the strategic use of YouTube to grow a podcast audience. My guest emphasizes the importance of packaging content effectively, focusing on elements like titles, thumbnails, and the first 30 seconds of a video to capture and retain viewer attention. He shares insights on how to craft compelling titles that read like article headlines and the power of adding a "whisper" in parentheses to intrigue viewers further. 👉🏽Get Your Tickets To: https://podcastsummit.com/registration (Promo Code: PS25) 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾 JOIN THE COMMUNITY TODAY: https://www.themorningmeetup.com Grab the Podcast EBOOK👇🏾 **http://www.podcastebook.com SONY Cinema Line FX30 Super 35 Camera: https://amzn.to/4jUpift SMALLRIG V Mount Battery VB50 Black, 50Wh: https://amzn.to/3EGV1Sj Shure SM7dB Dynamic Vocal Microphone: https://amzn.to/3RWiQIZ Zoom H6 essential: https://amzn.to/42SCQkI ULANZI Mini Lantern Softbox Soft Light Modifier: https://amzn.to/4cPtWsP Disclaimer: As an Amazon Influencer, I earn from qualifying purchases.

Poverty Is Found In The Pennies!!! Sometime we don't track where our money is going. And because of this more of it slips away without us knowing.

In this episode of the Social Proof Podcast, I had the pleasure of interviewing Morgan DeBaun, the CEO of Blavity Inc. and AfroTech. Morgan is a powerhouse and a genuinely nice person, which makes her success even more inspiring. We delved into her journey from starting Blavity in 2014 to growing it into a major corporation that builds products, services, and experiences for Black people and multicultural audiences. Morgan shared her background, growing up in St. Louis and living in various cities like Nashville, L.A., and the Bay Area. She started her career in Silicon Valley, which played a crucial role in shaping her entrepreneurial mindset. Blavity has made significant strides, including three acquisitions of Black businesses and becoming the largest Black publisher for our generation. 👉🏽Get Your Tickets To: https://podcastsummit.com/registration 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾 JOIN THE COMMUNITY TODAY: https://www.themorningmeetup.com Grab the Podcast EBOOK👇🏾 **http://www.podcastebook.com GO SUBSCRIBE to The Brain Picker Podcast on All Streaming Platforms!!
