Innovator's Toolkit: Monetizing Your Platform with Kahlil Greene

Even when you have thousands of followers, most platforms don't pay you the full value of your audience. For this reason, digital creators often find brand deals, sell merchandise, or find other means. Join social media influencer, Kahlil Greene (YC '22), to understand how to craft a business plan to use your expertise and talents to earn a full salary from social media content creation.

Kahlil Greene, also known as the “Gen-Z Historian”, is a New York Times recognized digital educator with over 500,000 followers and 15mm views across his Tiktok, Instagram, and LinkedIn profiles. He has authored op-eds about racial justice in the Washington Post, LA Times, and Harvard Business Review. Kahlil also graduated from Yale with a degree in History and served as the college’s first Black student body president. Kahlil is now a full-time, self-employed speaker, influencer, and educator and is known for his TikTok series, Hidden History–which dives into stories of American injustice–and for his commentary about cultural appropriation. Kahlil’s main goal is to see Black creators get proper recognition for all of their efforts.

This workshop is part of the Innovator's Toolkit, a series of free workshops focused on key skills for innovation. All Innovator’s Toolkit workshops are free and open to the public. A Zoom link will be provided to registered attendees.
