    Dr. Claire Aubin Posts to Stand Out, So You Can Too!

    How do you advocate for your expertise as a historian in the world of academia? Claire can help you with that.   "The problem [in academia] is that there are no jobs. There are far too many people available for the few jobs that exist... And having a social media presence has given me, thankfully, the option to sort of see my way out of that and look at forging a path in history and being a scholar that isn't exclusive to working in academia."   Dr. Claire Aubin is a public historian and writer. She’s currently working on the book The Homeland, Nazi Perpetrators as Immigrants to America for Cambridge University Press.

    Rowan Zeoli Loves and Is Critical of Her Hobby, So You Can Be Too!

    How do you keep a separation between journalism and marketing when writing about a niche? Rowan can help you with that, like she did at Rascal for tabletop roleplaying games.   "I graduated high school into Donald Trump's election and then I graduated college into the pandemic. Every major life milestone that I've had has been disrupted by some big unprecedented event. And I'm like, all right, well, I guess everything's gonna burn. So I might as well build something up from the ashes while it's burning. So that way when everything else is gone, I have something."   Rowan Zeoli is the co-founder of Rascal, an independent, worker-owned outlet for journalism about tabletop roleplaying games and the people who make them. Rowan covers the intersection of progressive thought and niche cultural movements, which you can find in outlets like Polygon, Tripsitter, Autostraddle, and The Fandomentals. She is also co-founder of the convention/non-profit WriteHive.   Credits - Hosts: Eric Silver & Amanda McLoughlin - Producer: Brandon Grugle - Editor: Mischa Stanton - Graphic Designer: Shae McMullin - A Multitude production   About The Show Interviews with online creators about how their jobs work and how they got there.

    The CEO of Patreon Wants to Earn Artists’ Trust

    Want to make a living online without being tied to platforms? Jack Conte and Patreon are trying to help you with that.   This is the first of our CEO interview series, where our CEO sits down with others to talk about the practicalities of running a business in the creator economy.   The thing that's changed the most is the web has increasingly put, I think, negative pressure on artistry and boldly being yourself. It's hard to do that now. It's so much pressure. And I think that has sort of been antithetical to what it means to be a true artist. And so I've just found myself using the term artist more and art more over the last year or two, because I want to remind myself of why I got into this in the first place as a creative person.   Jack Conte is the CEO of Patreon, and half of the bands Pomplamoose and Scary Pockets.   Credits - Hosts: Eric Silver & Amanda McLoughlin - Producer: Brandon Grugle - Editor: Mischa Stanton - Graphic Designer: Shae McMullin - A Multitude production   About The Show Interviews with online creators about how their jobs work and how they got there.

    Taylor Lorenz Was Willing to Quit, So You Can Too!

    What do you do when you don’t feel valued by your job when you’re doing really good work? Taylor can help you with that.   "Nobody respects you unless you're willing to leave. If [employers] get the sense that you're not willing to leave and you bluff it even once, they'll call your bluff. If you say, 'I'm gonna quit, give me this or I'll quit,' you have to be 110% willing to quit… But if you just let them walk all over you, then they'll never respect you because they'll know that they can get anything that they want."   Taylor Lorenz is the founder of UserMag.co, a tech and online culture newsletter, and author of Extremely Online: The Untold Story of Fame, Influence, and Power on the Internet. Previously, she was a technology columnist at The Washington Post and a technology reporter for The New York Times and The Atlantic. Her writing has appeared in New York magazine, Rolling Stone, the Daily Beast, Marie Claire, Fast Company, and countless other outlets.   Credits - Hosts: Eric Silver & Amanda McLoughlin - Producer: Brandon Grugle - Editor: Mischa Stanton - Graphic Designer: Shae McMullin - A Multitude production   About The Show Interviews with online creators about how their jobs work and how they got there.

    Lauren Shippen Is Successful and Unprofitable, So You Can Be Ok With That Too!

    What do you do when you break out of your small creative niche and are getting scrutinized by your fandom for that? Lauren can help you with that.   “Somebody asked me on Tumblr the other day if I had any advice for how to become a successful and profitable creator. I was like, Why are you asking me?… I've worked very hard to be a person that people associate with audio drama when they think about audio drama, but I'm not profitable. I'm still struggling to get budgets for the shows that I want to make. I still have to take a million different jobs all the time to support my life. I'm certainly doing a lot better than I was at 24 when I started The Bright Sessions, but I don't know what being a profitable creator looks like.”   Lauren Shippen is a writer and director best known for her work in fiction podcasts. She is the creator and sole writer of The Bright Sessions, and the writer of Bridgewater and Passenger List. She also wrote MARVELS, an audio adaptation of the popular comic, and Surviving Hawkins, a Stranger Things podcast. Her current originals are Maxine Miles, a choose-your-own-path mystery for young adults, New Year's Day, a yearly drama, and Breaker Whiskey, an ongoing daily podcast about shouting into the void at the end of the world. She has written three novels with Tor Teen.   Credits - Hosts: Eric Silver & Amanda McLoughlin - Producer: Brandon Grugle - Editor: Mischa Stanton - Graphic Designer: Shae McMullin - A Multitude production   About The Show Interviews with online creators about how their jobs work and how they got there.

    Ryan Broderick Is Not Cool at Parties, But You Can Be!

    Do you want to know what it was like to work inside BuzzFeed at the height of its power? Ryan can help you with that.   “Digital media was the problem. It wasn't the job. Like the burnout I felt as a journalist was not because I didn't like being a journalist. It was because the structure I was in sucked ass run by sickos. And now it's like, it's nice. Like turns out that even on a bad news day, like this week, it was still fine.”   Ryan Broderick is the writer of Garbage Day, a Webby Award-winning newsletter about the Internet, and the host of the new podcast Panic World. He reported for BuzzFeed from 2012 to 2020, and has also worked at Vice, Gawker, and the Awl.   Credits - Hosts: Eric Silver & Amanda McLoughlin - Producer: Brandon Grugle - Editor: Mischa Stanton - Graphic Designer: Shae McMullin - A Multitude production   About The Show Interviews with online creators about how their jobs work and how they got there.
