Creator Elevation Camp

After watching a 30-minute conversation hosted by Start Engine featuring Isaac Hayes III, the founder of Fanbase, and investor Kevin O’Leary (also known as Mr. Wonderful), ChatGPT analyzed the discussion to break down what makes Fanbase tick. In this blog, we’ll explain the platform in simple terms, covering what it does well, where it might face challenges, and what the future could hold. We’ve also added a section on ad revenue factors, which are a key part of Fanbase’s strategy. What Is Fanbase? Fanbase is a new social media platform built on one big idea: monetize-from-day-one . This means that from the moment you join, you can start earning money by creating content. Unlike many older platforms that need a credit card for subscriptions, Fanbase lets users support their favorite creators using simple in-app purchases. How Fanbase Works Fanbase isn’t just for photos or short videos. It gives creators six ways to share content: Stories: Quick updates that disappear after a while. ...

I’ve been on many social platforms, but never have I studied the psychology of users as closely as I have on Fanbase. Fanbase means a lot to me—not just as a user but as someone deeply invested in its evolution and community. It has become more than just an app; it’s a space where I build, connect, and grow. But with that deep connection comes an unexpected revelation—my unconscious pull toward discussions about Fanbase, whether positive or negative. The Cognitive Dissonance of Social Audio Users Before Fanbase, I had never been engrossed in the nuances of cyberbullying, cognitive dissonance, and the mental health implications of social media. But Fanbase has illuminated something I had never paid attention to before: the way people thrive on negativity. Not just react to it. Not just acknowledge it. Thrive on it. It’s a phenomenon that social psychologists have studied for years—how people are wired to focus on what is wrong rather than what is right. And in social audio spaces, where...

Let’s talk about my Saturday—it was packed, productive, and honestly, super inspiring. If you’ve ever felt stuck trying to explain your business or brand to someone, keep reading because I found a space that helps you perfect your pitch and turn heads when talking about what you do! Kicking Off the Day I started my morning hosting my podcast meetup , which, as usual, had a solid turnout. Great vibes, great convos, and always a reminder of why I love doing this. After that, I jumped into an early-morning social audio space with Don and Vibe , just easing into the day and catching up with familiar voices. But the real gem of the day? Promote Pitch Practice Sunday —a room dedicated to helping people sharpen their business pitches. And let me tell you, I walked away with game-changing insights! What’s Promote Pitch Practice Sunday? This is a social audio space where business owners, creators, and entrepreneurs practice their pitches in front of an audience. Hosted by Bobo Collective, Je...

  ( see post on fanbase) We’ve talked about it, we’ve debated it, and now it’s time to take action. No more postponing. No more waiting for the “right moment.” The momentum is here, and we have the opportunity to amplify our voices and showcase what FANBASE is truly about. If you were in the room when this conversation sparked, you already know the energy was undeniable. If you weren’t, let me catch you up: Last week, in a conversation hosted by Don and Robert, the question was raised: Is FANBASE failing? The answer? Absolutely not. But FANBASE is evolving. And like any platform that is carving out space in a crowded social media landscape, it needs us —the community—to help drive that evolution forward. And that’s exactly what we’re going to do. The Plan: A Community-Led FANBASE PSA We’re creating a public service announcement (PSA) video to highlight what makes FANBASE different, why we love it, and how it's growing in ways people outside the platform might not see. This isn’t ...

  A Regular Thursday Turned Into A Full-Blown Social Audio Discussion What started as a casual Thursday—business as usual, following my normal routine—took an unexpected turn when I caught The Social Proof Podcast featuring Isaac Hayes III. If you’re a podcast enthusiast like me, then you know Social Proof is that platform. David Shands does a masterful job at unpacking what it takes to launch, grow, and monetize businesses, especially in the digital creator economy. He’s a staple in these conversations, and so is Isaac, the founder of Fanbase. Isaac has been on the podcast before, but this time, something hit different. Towards the end of the interview, David finally asked the question that’s been looming over Fanbase for a minute: “Would you sell?” Isaac’s answer? Remarkable. And just like that, a simple watch party in our social audio room evolved into a full-fledged discussion that stretched for the next 45 minutes. Isaac’s Response: What Selling Would Actually Mean Isaac br...
