VidSummit is NOT a place where influencers connect with their fans. Instead, VidSummit is where you become an industry insider. Without the fans at the event, influencers share the truth of what they do - the truth they would never share online. In other words, VidSummit is the only event where dozens of the top 1% of influencers show you how to get fans fast, build a brand, and make millions from your content.

In March 2022, Jay launched his membership community, The Lab. The Lab generates about $500 thousand in revenue per year—while being limited to 200 members. Just about any creator has the potential to build a membership community, but many are worried about supporting hundreds or thousands of members. In this session, Jay will teach you a different approach to building a profitable membership that is small by design.

Simple secrets to storytelling and creating a unique content style

I've helped dozens of creators with their storytelling and brand building and they always say the same thing. "Wow, that's way simpler than I thought". I believe I've developed very simple rules and practices that not only make complex stories very easy to tell but can help create a style that is unique to every creator and their strengths. In this talk I will give away my personal storytelling formula as well as my creative hacks that led my channel to being so outrageous and different from the others in the space. Attendees will leave with a clear plan on how to embrace their individuality as a creator and create something never before seen on Youtube.
