Navigating the fast-paced world of social media can be overwhelming, especially when everyone is chasing their viral moment. The idea of reaching millions overnight is tempting, but the truth is that real success often comes from connection, community, and strategy. If you've ever dreamed of being a profitable artist or creative, it's more than just trying to appease the social media algorithm.
In this episode, Kellee teams up with D. Michele Perry to look at what it truly takes to be prepared for your viral moment, sustain it, and build a business that does not rely on the quick-scrolling culture of social media. A big part of the conversation is focused on Substack, a platform both have found valuable for building genuine connections. Unlike other social media tools that seem to focus on algorithms, Substack is all about long-form written content, and a chronological feed which means creators can interact with their audience in a much more organic way. Michele shares her firsthand experience of how this platform not only helped her engage with a wide audience but also allowed her to monetize her work through subscriptions. It’s not just about sharing ideas but building a supportive, paying community.
These conversations are the perfect way to end the year as we reflect on what we loved about the 2024 journey, what we can leave behind this year, and what we can implement in the upcoming year! Don't forget, that when artists succeed, the whole world around them shines a little brighter.
