Welcome to Monetize This — the contrarian, anti-guru podcast for creators who are tired of being told they’re “one secret formula” away from going viral. In this short intro episode, David sets the tone for the show by sharing a totally real, definitely legit, absolutely not suspicious email promising the Instagram Virality Formula.
Spoiler: if someone is selling you “the formula,” it’s already a punchline.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
* The satire-filled vibe this show runs on
* A dramatic reading of the latest “secret system” hitting creator inboxes
* Why the promise of guaranteed virality is always nonsense
* A playful jab at the endless parade of gurus, coaches, and schemes
* A preview of the humor, honesty, and irreverence you can expect here
If you’ve ever rolled your eyes at creator “best practices,” felt allergic to guru culture, or bought one too many magical blueprints — this podcast is for you.
Follow the show, share it with a friend, or whisper it to a fellow creator in a dark alley — but whatever you do, don’t fall for anyone claiming they’ve got the formula.
New episodes coming soon. Stay contrarian.
