CreativeHub MeetUp 1 - Sun, 26th of Sept 2021

THE OVERVIEW

I appreciate your availability here and most importantly I'm thanking YHWH for the gift of men (vision partners).

Creative Hub is borne out of a passion to make people utilize their God’s given talent in an appropriate manner (give glory back to the giver). Hence, the vision for this creative community was given.

CreativeHub (A ConQuesTECH initiative)

ConQuesTECH (AKA Conquest Technologies), being an incorporation running many initiatives & envisioned with some other initiatives, sometimes around last year (2020), I 

caught a vision for establishing a “Creative Community” - hence, we have CreativeHub officially kickstarting this day. 

CreativeHub has started activities before this time through some of our demo projects & with the support of some partners here (I appreciate all your dedication)

Demo project samples

The Platforms
  • Whatsapp group (managementTEAM)
  • Telegram (channel and group) + group for (managementTEAM)
  • Facebook page & group
  • Website (Initially, my plan was to use the ConQuesTECH website, but i finally decided and dedicate a website for the purpose of this initiative - CreativeHub) - 
  • There's also a plan for a mobile app (but we got to start with something)

The telegram channel will take you to the telegram group & Facebook group is linked with the page

OUR SPACE 

(1) Mobile friendly - We being here is an indication that we have a mobile phone (Statistics have it that mobile devices users are more than PC users), in any thing we do in creative hub, we put mobile first - knowing that anything that is supported on the mobile devices will surely be supported on the PC (in most times).

Not having a PC won’t be a barrier to exploring

one’s creativity in this information age, all we need a SMARTPHONE since almost everything has gone mobile.

 NOTE: Having a PC could be of help as it serves as additive.

(2) Not bounded by geography - The world, they say is a global village, location & spatial distance is never a barrier to create meaningful stuffs so far you have internet connection. So, Geography doesn’t limit us!

 NOTE: Some projects may still find space on physical meetings (if possible).

GENRE 
Gospel, morals & edifying; 
The word that launch CreativeHub out is found in Philipians 4:8
The motto: THINK of these things.


THE CONTENT
Creativity is all about CONTENT (The 2-fold)
 (1) CONTENT CREATION
This involves the procedures on how to create

that's why VIRTUAL MIX STUDIO came up.

I will say more on the VMS later

Creative Hub is here as a solution provider

(2) CONTENT PUBLISHING
Creation is just a means to an end, making a content standout and presented to the mass is another focus - whether the content is distributed *freely or is for *market
*free distribution can serve various beneficial purposes which would be discussed while progressing

Let's focus on the features of the CreativeHub & the 1st is RESEARCH & KNOWLEGDE BASE - this features is sponsored by ConQuesTECH (one of our major services is to teach), This is about learning ways of doing things (better). As Creatives learning is paramount & helps to do better in our skills.

We can also do better by partnership. There is a saying - "When we walk alone, you go fast; when we walk together we go far" 
case study- PRICE FOR freedom (Variant 1 & 2)
The project wouldn't have been possible, if not for the collaboration of Adeniyi Deborah, Adefaye Joshua, Oyeleke Isaac, Oyeleke Theophilus, Omooba Esther Olushola, Idowu Elizabeth 
Good news! 📰🛎️

The good news is that we are lanching the CreativeHub Virtual Mix Studio (VMS) this very MeetUp

Profiling & portfolio will help creatives to have a TRACK RECORD

Promotions & Adverts are one of the ways we hope for generating revenue for the smooth running of the initiative. Also, we can promote our personal product on our platform (AS PART OF THE MANAGEMENT TEAM - without a dime)

Competition and award: We are going to be awarding members based on the activity and participation in this initiative (CreativeHub)

Job & Wealth Creation: Members can personally monetize their skills. There is also provision to secure gainful employment (both on physical space & virtually; in Nigeria and the Oversea).

UP NEXT, we are going to be considering HOW we 'll go about this & 

Our roles & benefits in the discussed matters


The Roadmap

How we are planning to go about all we've said in the FEATURES is through our platforms . We will get along as will progress. Our Facebook (page & group); Telegram (channel & group); WhatsApp; & website. Though each of the platform has it peculiarities.
The website above others has been fully loaded with many features (we see about this after "WHERE YOU COME IN" )

NOTE: I have more to say about the ROADMAP (an emphasy on the CreativeHub website interface)

 

WHERE YOU COME IN (Defining your roles & the benefits)

   

Someone was appreciating me for considering him to be part of this move.
My response: The fact & truth is that we need each other, you shouldn't be thanking me, I should be the one thanking you, but all glory to God. What you can do, I might not have the ability to do it, & there are some things I may be able to do & you may not have that ability. Even if someone can do everything, he won't have all time.


DEFINING YOUR ROLE
As initially said, your first role here is PRIESTLY (always pray & intercede for this initiative) #RaiseTheAltar

Other roles is dependent upon skills; knowledge; TRAINING; responsibilities; assignment; activeness; participation. I will say more while telling about the ROADMAP (an emphasy on the CreativeHub website interface) after "WHERE YOU COME IN"


TRAINING is essential (it determines where you will fit into). The training is sponsored by ConQuesTECH. Though their are some that will go for a *price

There will be some offered for *free,

They (both paid & free training) can also fetch you income if you have "marketing skills"
*free - not actually free but for you being part of the (active?) members of the management team, that will be one of your benefit for being here.
*price - as an (active?) member of the team, you get discount for this.

Active? Someone is asking - What if I am not able to come online due to some unforeseen circumstances?

Don't worry, I want to say that there are some of the management team that are not able to be here (reason being they presently do not have the medium (phone). There are some we do meet on physical space. Activeness is not a cause for alarm, JUST BE INVOLVED
 
Another important role is "spreading the gospel" of this initiative (CreativeHub)
 
Some other roles will be surfacing as we progress (& all the based on your training). There are some who will be assigned for the role of TEACHING the members of the CreativeHub & some others may be assigned to manage our platform; some will given an official assignment


There are many other important roles, but I will tender them while dwelling on the topic - THE ROADMAP (emphasis on the CreativeHub website interface)  after "WHERE YOU COME IN"


THE BENEFITS (As management team member)

I initially hinted some of these which are:
🟢 Free (especially, courses relevant to CreativeHub) & discounted training in (digital) skills;

🟢 Access to referral services @ ConQuesTECH, hence you can make money by % of what you can sell

🟢 Free promotion & adverts placement (management team slot)

🟢 You can also earn by teaching any skills

🟢 Working team (skill-dependent) - for job secured by CreativeHub within & outside the platform; both in Nigeria & overseas nation

🟢 Also, we can work on our personal project together. I remember while working on THE PRICE FOR FREEDOM, one of our working teammates said that she even have some song to work upon - my response was that there are even more from my angle (since the inspiration just kept coming) but their hasn't been proper structure to effectively embark on many successful project. I have many others contacting me for a project like that, but we can't neglect the hinderances. We must count the cost before embarking on a project. As this initiative has been launched, we can be sure that our working together will go a longer way.

 THERE'S MORE: We are hoping by the mercies of YHWH that this initiative grow beyond the virtual space but likewise to the physical space - then, more things will be unveiled.

 & MANY MORE AS WE FULLY KICKSTART
 
THE ROADMAP (an emphasy on the CreativeHub website interface) 

I said it that each of our platforms has it peculiarities.
CreativeHub website, above other platforms has been loaded with many features. It now over a year that I embarked on the journey of bringing up something that will tackle my observed challenges. 

MY OBSERVED CHALLENGES?
My service year happen to be during the lockdown period. We all got relieved of our normal activities. Personally for me, that was a good period to explore what my creator has installed in me. I know I do get some song inspiration before, but has never paid any attention to waiting & to do something meaningful with it, not until the lockdown period.
 
Since my encounter with technological gadgets, I have always given more attention to learning about technology & how it could be applied in all spheres of life, I became addicted to knowledge. Hmmm, knowledge without any valid execution of what I knew. That's why many people used to ask me many questions about the digital space, at least I will got a clue or idea to any questions I was asked. In fact, I hated it if I have nothing to answer. Yet my answer are not valid because I have never handled most of things I say (practicalities) I'm only saying things based on revelation (little light). My master has a saying which states that: "If what you claim to know cannot solve your problems, you don't really know at all" - Pst. Isaac Olawale

Every attempt to put something in place in time past has never been encouraging; (many failed attempt). CreativeHub was not my first received initiative, though it my first executed initiative. Hopefully, I will return to the book (in which the 1st was written) after the "success" of CreativeHub.

One of the aspect of technology I've explored before the lockdown is the technological approach in music/sound/audio recording. Not until lockdown where I met many of you, creatives via social media & physical space, that I really got into the depth of it & how it could be used.

This brought the idea of the CREATIVE HUB VIRTUAL MIX STUDIO (VMS) which was part of what we are addressing using our website.

Aside the VMS, other problems I spotted will be addressed using the website. And this can only be possible by God & your involvement.

So! Let explore together the CreativeHub website 🌐

& The menus 

THE MENU
 #Cre8 - The menu item categorised the types of content in the platform. It has 5 submenus
1. Graphics & art
2. Visuals & MoGraph
3. Song writing & composition
4. Write-up & poetry
5. Music & instruments

A content may be in more than one category


 Our services - this is subdivided into 4 submenus
1. Creatives learn - training needed per time will be on this page. As initially said, the training is sponsored by ConQuesTECH . It also features the referral service for any interested members of the management team - (terms will be discussed per training)
2. Virtual mix studio - Welcome to the future of recording! Production is now made with just a tap of your screen. Also, here comes an opportunity for MUSIC PRODUCERS & INSTRUMENTALISTS to secure a job from the corners of their houses. See Jobs & Creatives.
3. Jobs & Creatives - This address another challenges I spotted out in recent times, getting people to hire for job (especially in this get-rich-quick era) has become a capital issue on the part of job offeree. (In fact, I currently have vacancies bid by at least 2 job offeree). On the other way round, getting a satisfying job has been an herculean task for creatives out there. That's why CreativeHub has come in to address the issue.
4. Publish - this is pointing to the first menu (#Cre8). Creatives can publish content on this platform. This might be rated by the (loyalty badge?) the members has earned. Whereas, the management team has better privileged in this section.


Social platforms - the page links up to the official social platforms & the contact information about the initiative

Download our brochure - we are planning to write a brochure for the initiative, It is one of the task we are going to do together.

Team & management - comprises the profile & portfolios (of the management team members).

Join CreativeHub - this page link people for the membership procedures

Loyalty badge - though I haven't make any decision on the modalities that will be used here, it part of what we will decide upon as we progress.

Resource materials - these are sellable products (digital or physical) from this initiative, it may be books, training videos, or any other materials. Just like that of Creatives learn, there's also an affiliate marketing upon any product sold by these means.

Disclaimer/privacy policy - disclaimer is a statement of declaration about services rendered from this initiative are safe for usage & should be trusted only if it source from our platforms. The privacy policy will state that the data & information supplied by the participants of this initiative won't be used against them (that is. - won't intrude their privacy)
 
Adverts & Sponsorship - it is our hope that advert could generate fund for running the initiative (though we aren't trusting on it) -our trust still remain in God. There will be slots for advert placement.
This initiative has lot of things in vision; the Bible says that money is a defence... We've been spending on the initiative before this time. I will use this opportunity to again show appreciation to our dedicated teammates that we worked on one project or the other; many of them has rejected token given to them just to complement & repay them for the resources they put into working on the projects in time past.
This initiative is open to sponsorship; a donation link/page has been created for any cheerful giver willing to sponsor the initiative.
