He has used the platform to reach out to his current and potential fans. His new album is set to release Fall 2015, and already has a #1 track in the Billboard Dance board. Check out the chat we had with Ryan about his music, instagram love, and what we can look forward to in the future.

1. What have you been up to for the past few years?

Besides touring, painting and DJing, I really have spent the past few years non-stop in the studio working hard at perfecting the new album. Sometimes [my] ideas come even after recording a song, so I was very adamant about taking as long as it took on making this record. It was very important to me to work and rework my songs and look at them from different angles. I didn’t wanna rush anything and I’m glad I didn’t.

2. How has CoPromote helped you market yourself and your events?

CoPromote has help me reach all my fans, current and potential. I am a huge fan of influencer based marketing and artists helping artists and fans helping fans. I am trying to reach everyone I can with this new album as I’m very proud of it and all the hard work (and time) that went into creating it. CoPromote is a valuable asset in my ability to reach as many people as i can.

3. Do you use any other social media apps to connect with your fans?

Right now I’m an Instagram / Twitter guy. Facebook is something we use as everyone is on it. Im trying to learn snapchat but I’m really an instagram guy.

  4. What kind of things can we expect from you in the future?

I am planning on really branching out into different facets of entertaining. I like to do the unexpected so you never really know what’s gonna happen. Obviously my main goal is to promote this album and get it out to ears who may have never heard my music or even me as an artist. I love trying to turn people into my fans who would never listen to my records previously.

5. Favorite new song of yours?

I am loving the Nikolai Remix of House on Fire they are blasting on Sirius radio right now: that tropical house vibe is my shit!!

  Blogs and social media websites have increasingly become the go to destinations for communities of like minded individuals to share their thoughts and ideas. CoPromote helps to facilitate these connections like nobody else out there, and our new search function has made it even easier for you to find new and interesting content for you and your followers. This week we spoke to lifestyle blogger Jakky, who helps motivate and inspire us on her website Inspire Cafe. Check out her thoughts on life, technology, and more!

1. What type of Creator are you?

I am quite eclectic when it comes to the kind of content that I create but always my goal is to inspire people towards personal growth. I do this through articles, infographics and I’m also looking at soon sharing audio and video content geared towards motivating people to connect deeply with their true selves and living their best lives. The change we want to see in the world must start with us and if we can bring our A-Game to the journey of life then our world is better for it. In this sense I am a creator of Inspiration and of change.

  2. What inspired your blog?

My blog was born out of my own personal journey towards connecting with my own true self and the desire to live my highest and my best at every moment. I’ve always believed that one of the most amazing gifts that we have as human beings is our ability to grow, evolve and become better. And as I began looking for inspiration and opening up myself to new ideas and experiences and as I started growing, I felt compelled to share the same journey of inspiration and personal growth with others.

  3. How do you use CoPromote?

I use CoPromote to find interesting people and content. Because it’s got such a wide mix of users, you are exposed to different facets of life that you would otherwise not get to see. You also get a good idea of what people are passionate about and interested in. And it’s also a very supportive place where people are always willing to promote your work. CoPromote is really a great place to give and get support.

  4. Have you found any inspirational content on CoPromote?

Sure, I do find inspirational stuff all the time. I recently came across a blog by Annie Wood who has been writing about dealing with grief. It’s such a simple yet profound blog and gives a clear picture of how losing someone can affect us deeply and ways to move on. Generally I read a lot of blogs on CoPromote.

  5. What is one article of yours you feel everyone should read?

Well this is a tough one as I’m sure you know I’m tempted to say all of them!

In any case, I think my article on DESIRE: CHANGING YOUR LIFE BY FOLLOWING YOUR HEART is one everyone should read because so many people are stuck living lives they absolutely have no business living! As a result they never find a true sense of peace or fulfilment and this comes from social conditioning and trying to live up to other people’s definition of success. The truth is that your heart is your most trusted compass and when you learn to follow the instincts of your desires and passion, you become truly magical and unstoppable.

CoPromote is a platform for creators of all kinds to share their creations and find other interesting content. Gamers on YouTube are very popular amongst the masses, and Brazilian Youtuber Beto is no different. With over 9,000 subscribers and 700,000 video views, his videos are fun to watch and helpful for those playing the games. Check out the chat we had with Beto and how he started his YouTube channel!

  1. What kind of creator are you?

I am a gamer who love playing all sorts of games from the Action, Adventure and RPG

  2. What inspired you to create gaming videos?

Actually, my first video I created to help a person who was not able to pass the stage of the boss. One day, I logged into my inbox and had more than 10,000 emails from people thanking me for the video.

  3. How do you use CoPromote?

I like to use CoPromote to promote my videos and also my social networks. I like it so much that it is the first thing I do when going on the computer.

4. Have you found anybody on CoPromote whose work you really like?

Yes, I found many valuable tips and [have] also learned a lot. CoPromote has a wide variety of news that is really worth checking out.

  5. What is your favorite game?

Without a doubt, they are the WWE games. I grew up watching the fights on TV and now through the game I can relive the good times.

CHEF STEPHANIE IZARD (Forkly: @Stephandthegoat)

Apart from her fabulous Forkly photos, most Forkly users know Chef Izard as the winner of Bravo's Top Chef - Season Four.

After her huge and historical Top Chef win (she was the first female chef ever to win the title of Top Chef), Chef Izard opened the Girl & the Goat in Chicago--voted by Saveur Magazine as "America's Best New Restaurant" and nominated in 2011 for the James Beard Best New Restaurant Award. In 2011, Stephanie also released her new cookbook, Girl in the Kitchen, and was named one of Food & Wine Magazine's "Best New Chefs." She is now working on her second restaurant, "Little Goat."

Taste Tip for your next visit to Girl & the Goat: Chef Izard just rotated the Wood Grilled Broccoli back onto the menu--a spring menu staple and customer favorite. Stephanie especially likes the "spiced crispies" part of the dish. 

All in all, us Forkly fans have plenty to get excited about as we get first glimpses of Chef Izard's tastes from one post to the next!
