Today we’re joined by Jay Clouse, founder of Creator Science, which is a platform with a membership, community, courses, a podcast, newsletter and more. Jay has scaled his media business to over $50k a month, while studying the best creators in the business. Creator Science was born out of a newsletter Jay started in 2017 which has grown to over 50k subs, then a podcast in 2019 which has millions of downloads and in 2023 he built his YouTube channel to 60k subs.
In this episode we break down his revenue split, how he’s doubled the business for 2 years running, how he provides value in $3,000 a year membership and what processes he’s put in place to create so much content to drive a thriving creator business.
