    Great report as always, Dru!

    Discovered a few new names I'm adding to my list of people to follow :)

  2. 3

    @arvidkahl HAS to be an example on this. In our circles, I can't think of anybody else who went from "small" creator to leader, innovator and bestselling author in such a short period of time.

    1. 1

      +1. He's been incredible!

    2. 1

      💯He's a perfect example.

      And Arvid was in the last report 💻 Trends #0022 — Digital Products

  3. 3

    whats been your favorite "trends" youve released

    1. 2

      thanks for the follow, btw!

      1. 1

        no probs hows your youtube efforts going? @8bit

    2. 2

      Love this question.

      Maybe 🦄 Trends #0010 — Startup Studios

      I thought I wanted a startup studio before doing this report.

      What trends are you seeing?

      1. 2

        man u know i am a huge fan of the scannability of your pages. just shared it with my coworkers. uh, so the trend i am seeing is that the 5G technology market for organic search is getting extremely competitive

    This is cool stuff. The deep fake issue is intriguing. I imagine there will be some kind of deep fake arms race where platforms which offer "verification" can rapidly build trust. Like the social media "check mark" X10

    1. 1

      This.

      💯My exact thoughts Chris

    Dru's Trends report is a must have in your inbox. You are just consistently delivering value brother. 👏🏼 Love it.

    My only feedback is people need to know about the Pro reports. Maybe promote it more!

    1. 1

      Thanks Vik! Will keep that in mind. Tried on IH once and it didn't go over well. But def should on Twitter 👍

  6. 2

    Two missing names: @jackbutcher & @dvassallo - they seem to be everywhere!

    Amazing report, Dru - Keep it up ;)

    1. 2

      Great picks. They were both in 💻 Trends #0022 — Digital Products

      It weaves together. Thanks Nico ;)

    i mentioned this on twitter:

    this topic is something i’ve been thinking about for 10+ years...

    ... always neat to see it circle around (again and again and again and again)...

    My Wife and I wanted to start building our personal brands - crazy how when you start to research and learn stuff just falls on your lap.

    Great post, although I could have lived without knowing about Colgate Lasagna

    1. 2

      Love hearing this. 😂 We're all better off without Colgate Lasagna.

      How did you and your Wife plan to leverage your brands?

      1. 2

        She’s a creative, so she works with YouTube but recently I’ve been building her a website for her to blog.

        I’ve decided to blog as well and try to share my ideas about fatherhood/development

        1. 2

          That's great. Feels like there's so much upside. It gives you options

    Loved it @dru_riley! Nice tips! Let's see if I can build mine someday!
