The solo creator

The big question is if this is a thing? Existing podcasters (not local), or local solopreneurs that we can train up and support to run a successful small local media outlet with the community.

What they have in common

  • solo creator, e.g. podcaster / newsletter / youtuber

How many more of those are there in Europe?

What they pay

🐰 1000 per year (350 of those for 1000.000 revenue)

Why they come to us

  • Easy to implement platform they can own/control vs. substack/Steady/Social Media; the type Wordpress-Bloggers of the early 2000 (choosing Wordpress over blogger/tumblr etc.)

  • They want more than publishing - Want to build community relationships as well. Use the power of community-knowledge

Hypotheses

  • If they want to earn 6000 / month (as non-profit) to cover for their own salary and some expenses, they need 1200 supporters. That's 2,5% of a 50.000 population.

Can we find a couple of those and show a model that works. (Based on David's model/ example campaign people can copy + Crowdnewsroom)
