Creator Kit Episode 01: Zealous’s Gregarious Narain on the Future of Creator Live Streaming

Creator Kit

Creator monetization is evolving. In this week’s episode, we bring you a conversation with someone who is leading the charge to make live streaming pay for creators.

Gregarious Narain has seen the evolution of the creator economy first hand. As an early podcaster and blogger, he recognized the opportunity to participate both as a creator (before that was even a thing) and as an entrepreneur - notably as the first employee at Klout (a notable startup launched in 2008 that aimed to rank social influence).

From there he launched numerous creator products like Chute and most recently Zealous.

As a co-host of The Created Economy (a weekly news show about..you guessed it), Gregarious has his finger on the pulse of creator technology.

We recently sat down with Gregarious to talk about the evolution of creator monetization: from ads to subscriptions to live streaming to crypto - and how creators can use Zealous to earn a scalable income.
