Greetings Entreprenerds!
My guest this week is Michelle Jensen from Nerd Out, a resource for finding friends and doing cool stuff in the fandom community. First started in 2015, the Nerd Out Calendar was created when Michelle found it difficult to find information about nerd and comic con related events in her area. It has since grown to include events in dozens of cities and has brought together a community of thousands.
In this episode, we discuss:
- 3:00 How Nerd Out got started
- 16:30 Tips for promoting live events
- 18:30 Building and engaging with the Nerd Out Squad community
- 23:30 Contests
- 29:00 Starting the Nerding Out blogs and finding what content works for your brand
- 31:30 How they are growing Nerd Out
- 36:00 WonderCon Meetup with Espionage Cosmetics
- 38:00 Importance of planning and setting goals for your brand
- 40:00 Getting support from the nerd community – Facebook group
Be sure to check out Nerd Out at NerdOutApp.com and follow them @NerdOutApp on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
I’d really appreciate any feedback either on Twitter @UndertheCapes, in the blog comments or through a rating on iTunes or Stitcher. Thanks and see you soon!
