Chevere Means Cool
Welcome to Chevere Means Cool— a podcast where I get to talk to some of my favorite independent designers, brands, and creators and share their stories. Chevere Means Cool was born from my love for unique style and the relationship we have with clothes, but most importantly, it’s a way to celebrate and support people’s dreams.
Daniela BaoPublished 3 years ago in JournalHow To Win a Vocal Challenge!
Let’s be honest: it’s downright impossible to make money off of Vocal through views alone. Some writers have successfully found ways to earn passive income from this website, but it's usually because...
Kathryn MilewskiPublished 3 years ago in JournalWomen in Psychology:
It is no secret that woman have never been portrayed as equal in society, let alone in the workplace. We have all heard conversation around the gender wage gap. Women haven’t persevered since the first gathering of women devoted to equal rights in 1848, only to be paid .81 cents for every dollar a man makes (uncontrolled study,) or .98 cents earned for every dollar that a man earns (controlled study.) To put that into a different kind of perspective, 25 percent of working women have reported receiving less compensation than a man doing the same exact job. For good measure, I’d like to add that 42 percent of women have said that they’ve experienced some form of discrimination in the workforce, while 20 percent of men said the same (payscale.com.) Are you still wondering why we might be angry?
Lauren MacDonaldPublished 3 years ago in JournalFour Things I Wish Someone Had Told Me About Writing On Vocal
Having read about some success stories where people were earning a very decent living from writing on Vocal, I had high hopes of instant success when I wrote my first story. But my story didn't get any reads. The same thing happened with the next few stories and I almost gave up.
Reija SillanpaaPublished 3 years ago in JournalThe New Wave of Filmmakers on YouTube
A couple of weeks back, I started a podcast with my friend Shania Bethune, called “Making It: Women in Film” (shameless self-plug), where we sit down with women who work in the film and TV industry. We wanted to create a space where women could speak about and share their experiences and opinions, and where aspiring filmmakers could ask for advice and get answers relevant to their position and dreams.
malin evitaPublished 3 years ago in JournalHow to Make Social Videos That Your Followers Will Want to Share
In some aspects, social video marketing isn't that different from the cinema industry. Don’t get me wrong: I’m not comparing The Godfather Trilogy to Kim Kardashian’s live streaming (at least not the first two movies). What I’m talking about is how there are many wonderful films out there that nobody knows about... and many run-of-the-mill pieces that have been a huge commercial success.
Victor BlascoPublished 4 years ago in JournalCreatd Inaugural Letter to Shareholders
We said the following 4 years ago... The entire evolution of digital media, and every individual technological advancement, is met with the same questions. Sociologically, every new digital platform is viewed through that same lens: “How can I have my voice heard on the internet? How can I make money on the internet? How can I scale the money I can make on the internet?” Corporate forces and legacy tech architectures do not necessarily advocate for a free, capitalistically-driven internet. It is not a particularly even playing field in the race to internet fame. However, it is also very early in the transition from analog to digital, and advances are coming at an exponential pace.
Jeremy FrommerPublished 4 years ago in JournalTwo Years On: What I Learned as a Vocal Writer
I'm a serial blogger. I start a blog, write a handful of posts around that niche, and then abandon it when another idea hits. My writing lives across the Internet on Tumblr, LiveJournal, WordPress, and Squarespace. The random topics included vegetarianism, travel, music, and living the LA lifestyle. You name it, I probably wrote about it.
Kristi JacobsenPublished 4 years ago in JournalTips for Creating Content 101
1. HONE YOUR CRAFT. If you don't know what that means, basically start to master what you know. Become the go to person on your college campus for whatever it is. For me that was photography. Once I had that brand awareness for myself, I started to lean more into my messaging.

Jason SchwartzPublished 4 years ago in JournalHow to Manage a Company While Everyone Works From Home
The global pandemic has created exceptional challenges across the board, and uprooted the roles, responsibilities, and priorities of essentially every working person on the planet, from CEO to intern and everyone in between.
Danielle BannerPublished 4 years ago in JournalHow To Grow A Personal Brand
As an influencer, it’s easy to feel like your life isn’t interesting enough. You may not have a flashy Tesla, a house in Los Angeles, or tickets to next year’s MET Gala. Don’t worry, there is still hope for you.
