Create, Connect, and Collaborate With Other YouTube, TikTok, & Instagram Creators in the Austin, TX area...

The Creator Commons meetups are structured to help you... 1) meet new members, 2) get feedback on whatever you need help with, and 3) become a smarter YouTube/TikTok/Instagram creator. You can expect things like name tags, icebreakers, and rotating peer group activities & roundtables designed to help facilitate new introductions and make meeting other creators in the group feel as natural as possible. The intention is to create a setup that gets people talking to each other & sharing ideas (as opposed to just sitting around hoping others introduce themselves).

You can think of the meetups as an anchor resource that's there for you whenever you have specific questions you need help with, want to sharpen your skills & mindset, or just want to connect with other creators in the area. We'll have a set schedule of in-person meetups as well as some occasional virtual hangouts using Zoom Breakout Rooms.

Group Hangouts: These are planned & impromptu get-togethers (dinners, Top Golf, ice cream socials, football watch parties, etc.) for members to socialize and get to know each other better outside of the main meetups. Why? Because the best insights ("aha moments") often happen in casual conversation when people are just hanging out & having a good time.

Skool Group: Skool is an iOS & Android app that's designed to help connect people who are learning a specific subject. When you join a "Skool Group" it's just like joining a Facebook Group but without all the spam. It has member profiles, posts & comment threads, leaderboards, event calendar, linked Zoom hangouts, etc. Use it to get feedback outside of meetups and to stay updated on upcoming events.

The Creator Commons is designed to be flexible and used as a resource. That means there are no hard time commitments for events or membership overall (you can come & go from events in a way that fits your schedule). Having said that, there are 3 rules you must comply with in order to gain & maintain eligibility. These are non-negotiable standards for everyone in the group ...

1. Don't Kill the Vibe: This means be a source of positivity, encourage your peers, and have fun. No politics, no spamming, no harassment. Any behavior detrimental to the fun/friendly/supportive culture of the group will simply not be tolerated.

2. Keep Your Input & Feedback Constructive: It's ok to have differing opinions & disagree with your peers (friendly debate is even encouraged). Just make sure you keep your input & feedback constructive & respectful. If you don't know how to disagree respectfully, this support group is not for you.

3. Be respectful of Host Venues:  Always be considerate & respectful of the host venues for any of the meetups and or events. That includes venue staff. Never leave trash or damage property.

These rules will be enforced so if you don't agree with them, please do not attempt to join. Repeated and or severe violations of any of these rules will result in getting banned from future meetups & events.

We are currently filling spots for the Austin-area pilot group. A "pilot group" is the initial test group that helps set the foundation for future members (helps establish group culture, makes suggestions on ways to improve flow of the meetups, irons out any unforeseen issues that may come up, etc.). As a pilot member, you'll get free lifetime access to the group, including free lifetime access to the nationwide Creator Commons Skool Group ($47/month fee gets waived).

If you're interested in being a part of the pilot group, you must fill out a New Member Approval Form. This form will help us understand your skill level, personality type, and creative intentions so that we can put you in the appropriate peer feedback groups at meetups and match you with a support buddy when you join.

Before you fill out a form, please keep in mind that to be eligible you must be an adult (18+ only), actively growing an account on at least one of the platforms mentioned (YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram), and agree to follow the rules listed in Section 6. Once we have a good mix of initial applicants, we'll send out emails to selected pilot members with information on meetups, how to access member resources, and how to schedule the optional orientation session.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to the limited number of spots for the pilot group, we will go on a "first come, first served" basis assuming you meet the basic requirements and standards. (If you get waitlisted, we'll send you an email when you are able to schedule your orientation and start attending meetups. We are intentionally starting small and slowly increasing the number of members in order to preserve the quality of the group and meetups. Thanks for your patience & understanding.)

If you ever get a chance to talk to any content creators who do it full-time, you'll probably find that many of them grew their social media following alongside other like-minded content creators or business peers they could bounce ideas off of. Anything from simple creator group chats (which used to be called "engagement groups" back in the day) to more formal business masterminds (like a support group for entrepreneurs). 

It usually goes something like this... a late night strategy get-together with friends might turn into an idea for a cross collaboration or joint venture (collaborative business project), which might then turn into a long-term business partnership or creators living together for a summer to make content (e.g. an "influencer house" sponsored by a brand). 

That's not to say you have to do any of that to be successful (everyone has their own path & interests), it's just to point out that the more you surround yourself with like-minded people, the more opportunities you create for yourself. Collaboration opens doors in ways that are not always obvious at first. The key is to get out of your comfort zone, put yourself out there, and see what kind of serendipity you create. So if you're ready to take that first step, make some new friends, and create new opportunities for yourself, [click here] to fill out a New Member Approval Form and let's start creating together.
