Launched CreatorScape 2020

An interesting update since CreatorScape a year ago was hosted by Influence Weekly but on a site I had at the time called Influence Directory.

CreatorScape 2020 includes 284 companies that help creators make, manage and monetize their content.

Back Story: I never intended Influence Weekly to be my main thing. It was originally a way to gather an audience to launch Influence directory. But that wasn't useful as much as the news and the sharing what's going on in our industry.

People and companies liked the passive news in the inbox... more than the active search for companies in a database.

They wanted help drinking from a firehose.

Influence Weekly was that curatorial aide.

Influence Directory was just adding to the stress.

I stalled on working on Influence Directory, stalled on salvaging anything from there. Kept up weekly information nuggets... and Earlier this year I got an offer to do CreatorScape for Influence.co

It made total sense.

This turned out, I think, 2x better than it would have had I done it alone. It also exists. While I had plans to do an update to CreatorScape. Working with the team at Influence.co made it happen.

So often solo founders and solo makers can do anything. We learn how to do everything. But working with a team, sometimes we can focus on exactly the thing we are really really good at.

This experience was a taste of what working with a team is like, again. It was enjoyable and I hope to do more.
