Transcript
hey how's it going mm from the CTO of Iser comm with a CTO daily dose this is a housekeeping episode you guys really are great one a lot of great feedback on the videos but a lot of great questions around community and you know how exactly is CTO advisor making money how did you pay the bills teeth we enjoy the videos but okay how there's going to be a going concern as you know the CTO advisor as a brand is several things we do the daily dose videos which you're watching today those are at some point we'll get sponsored by vendors consulting companies etc looking to get access to the c2 advisor audience and then there's obviously the CTO visor podcast which we've started to do sponsored episodes I think the first one will hit next week with Dhruva Inc so Dhruva thanks for you Dean and Wendy and crew Matt thanks for sponsoring the CTL advisor podcast so those are you know that's a decent number amount of money the you guys who have done podcast and you've done content before how do you do that at a scale big enough to actually pay your bills pay health insurance etc the bottom line is that it grows we'll do white papers for vendors we'll end up doing research well not necessarily I got a rephrase that not for vendors the CTO of either content is independent so we're what we're looking for is for vendors to sponsor the content so I'll create some editorial piece you know something you know when you guys like the whole hybrid IT vs.
hybrid cloud conversation we'll find a vendor or someone like embolic soar something like that to sponsor the Copiah cast or the video post message that has value to them it has value to you guys you consume the content my independent content they get access to kind of my audience to spread that message that is the idea on the vendor side to create content that you guys love and as a as appreciation of that and to get access to you guys the audience vendors will sponsor that content and then there's traditional consulting now I got to tell you the infrastructure for those two things are very different so I'm focusing mainly on vendor sponsorship and then consulting secondly because quite frankly one-man operation plus one woman the wife and then my subcontractor is not a whole lot of bandwidth to create the infrastructure needed to market to both different disciplines so if you're interested in me doing some type of quick assessment etc cloud maturity study taking the video from this point forward until your actual organization we most definitely do that and I'm available to engage to that format so overall really happy with overall sales can always sell more the ideal is to to scale this point to a point where I'm not eating into my private personal savings and the business itself is self-sustaining having fun having a blast you guys are cnes shows conferences doing these daily doses this is all thanks to the sponsors of the various content and for the occasional consulting project thanks if you want to learn more about the CT advisor follow me on twitter at CTO visor subscribe to the videos on youtube or via the website the CTO advisor comm where you can find more of my thought leadership in go Blue Demons
