Ryan is a creator and the CEO of Korean Hoon, a brand and community centered around language learners. Korean Hoon has over 2 million followers on TikTok alone.

On today’s show we talk about how different platforms serve different purposes, how to build a long term business by dreaming big, and the secret to finding your niche as a creator.

Here are some of our favorite takeaways from the conversation:

1. Why TikTok and IG serve different purposes

Ryan explains that while he has a bigger audience on TikTok, he knows that Instagram actually drives the majority of his sales: and the key is depth of connection.

"The biggest difference that I found about Instagram and TikTok was loyalty of the audience. Because, TikTok, it pops out on the For You page. People follow because they want to put it on the following list so that they can search later on. On the other hand, Instagram, once you follow it, you see the creator on the Stories. So, you can see what they're actually doing in daily life and then you can communicate better. It's easier to message them, and receive messages, and comment, and receive comments. Because Instagram is more of a connection between the creator and the audience vs. TikTok."

2. Creator success is not accidental

Ryan didn't stumble randomly into creator-audience fit. Rather, his success was iterative: the result of thoughtful and persistant experimentation with different content themes.

" From the first year that I started [on TikTok] content creating about Korean teaching, I reached about 700K followers. So, people think that, "Wow, that was very, like, crazy. How did it happen? It didn't happen overnight because, before this channel, I had applied four different [types of] content to four other channels. And failed. So, I made the channel, tested it out, and then deleted it because it didn't work. Make something, created some vlogs, didn't work out, I deleted it. Make a channel, I did some K-pop reviews, didn't work out, so I deleted it. And, after those four trials and errors, I found a format which fit to my personality and the needs of the world. So, it was after all those years of failure and trial. It ended up a match to the needs and my own giving, so that's how it worked."

3. How big is your dream?

Ryan knows that he can make good, even GREAT money short term by selling integrations and sponsorships. But he dreams bigger; aspiring to build a business that is not entirely dependent on his trading time for money.

"I think it depends on how big your dream is because if you create content well, if you get a good advertisements, you make a lot of money. I've heard some of my friends have one million followers on TikTok, a contract with KFC, they pay for, like, 15 grand per one video. So, I was like, "Oh, that's a lot." If your audience gets bigger and bigger, you make more and more money. But, you have to constantly work for it, you have to constantly be the creator until your career ends. I didn't want that, I wanted to make some system...I didn't want to make ads for other companies, I wanted to sell my own service. Especially for language teaching, there are a lot of Korean teachers out there who can help on our platform. And, I wanted to make it a service where everyone can come here, and teach Korean, and get paid. And, the money circulates in our platform. So it's a difference of direction."

Jesse: Ryan, thanks so much for joining Creator Kit.

Ryan: My pleasure.

Jesse: It's, uh, really awesome to have you on the show. Just to give a little context for the audience, you and I have been friends for, I guess, a little less than a year now. We initially connected probably about seven, eight months ago in the earliest stages of HiBeam when my co-founders and I were exploring some early ideas around online education actually. And, we've since transitioned to focus more on message management, but we've stayed in touch. And, the reason that, uh, we initially reached out to you and you were so kind to spend some time with us was you have this incredible audience of learners and fans. And, I guess, more than an audience, it's a community. Would you mind spending 30 seconds describing what your, uh... your presence, and your company, and your brand, and your voice is all about?

Ryan: So, I do some content creating made by KoreanHoon. And, I teach Korean language to the English speaker by teaching through Instagram and TikTok, through all those entertaining Korean learning material. And, it... as a result, I gather a group of Korean learners from all around the world, Europe, America, East Asia, India, everywhere. We are a bunch of very kindhearted, passionate Korean learners group, that's, kind of very rewarding results that I got from doing the contents creating.

Jesse: Amazing. And, for the audience, Ryan is quite modest when he describes a group and a community. The current... I believe the current audience is somewhere in the 2.2 million range for TikTok, substantial numbers on Instagram as well, and then an even deeper community on some off-social-platforms, and some products that you've developed to own your community as well. So, I would love to talk to you on that because I think it's really interesting to the audience that is, um, looking to learn about using tools and potentially develop their own tools as creators.

But, first, a little more about you. What I find you're... really compelling about your content is it's kind of, a rare combination of being super approachable, friendly, and, as you, you know, sort of, described it, kindhearted but also fairly practical almost. Like, there's a lot that can be found in your content of repetition and teaching of actually, like, really useful pieces of the Korean language but for real world applications. So, a lot of your; what I've observed from your especially most recent stuff is some skits, some enactments, and then the practice. How did you arrive on that format, which seems to work really, really well for you? And, the reason that I ask that is, often, to the untrained eye, content creation, when it works really, really well, seems like it just, kind of, happened. But, I know, from talking to you, that you're an incredibly analytics-minded person and that you've done a lot of experimentation. Anything you can share about how you first started and how you got to where you are today?

Ryan: So, when I tell people that, from the first year that I started, uh, contents creating about Korean teaching, I reached about 700K followers. So, people think that, "Wow, that was very, like, crazy. How did it happen?"

Jesse: TikTok was the first platform?

Ryan: Yeah. Yeah, on TikTok.

Jesse: Got it, got it. Yeah.

Ryan: And then, I say people... I say to the people that it didn't happen overnight because, before this channel, I had applied four different contents to four other channels. And, it failed. So, I made the channel, test it out, and then delete it because it didn't work. Make something, created some vlog, didn't work out, I delete it. Make a channel, I do some K-pop review, didn't work out, so I delete it. And, after all those four trials and errors, I found some format, which fits to my personality and the needs of the world. So, it was after all those years of failure and trial. It ended up, kind of, a match to the needs and my own giving, so that's how it worked.

Jesse: Incredible, I had known that you had mentioned that you had worked on some prior concepts. But, I didn't know that it was four pivots, when I mentioned my own startup journey and experimenting with other ideas and the learning concept that you and I had initially met over.

Ryan: Mm-hmm.

Jesse: I would consider that a pivot from a startup sense. And, one thing I've learned about the creator content game, from talking to many creators, is it's never, like... or maybe not never but it's rarely the first try. So, it's cool to hear about your experimentation. So, one thing that I'm really interested in and that I think the audience would be interested in... we have an audience that's very, sort of, thoughtful about how they approach different tools, different services, all geared towards growth and all geared towards making their creator businesses and- and creator efforts work. And, we spend a lot of time on this podcast talking about... all different tools. We've had a lot of founders on the podcast showing their theories on the world, and showing their tools, and describing their tools. We haven't actually talked a ton on this podcast yet about the ways that creators use the big social platforms and the big distribution platforms uniquely. And, I know that you have had some thoughts about Instagram versus TikTok and the unique nature of each. I was really curious about how you think about these two, like, kind of, mainstays of the creator game.

Ryan: So, one of the biggest difference that I found about Instagram and TikTok was loyalty of the audience. Because, TikTok, it pops out on the For You page. And, people follow because they want to keep them on the list and just put it on the following list so that they can search later on. On the other hand, Instagram, once you follow it, you see the creator on the Stories. So, you can see what they're actually doing on daily life and then you can communicate better. It's easier to message them, and receive messages, and comment, receive comment. Because, Instagram is more of a connection between creator and the audience versus TikTok is more of a content... viral content itself. So, there's not a huge portion of the creator relatively to the Instagram.

Jesse: That's so interesting. It, kind of, aligns with one thought that I heard where, like... I forgot who said this, but there was a commentator talking about the rise of TikTok. And, this person said, you know, people keep calling TikTok a social platform. It's not really a social platform, it's actually a lot more like YouTube than it is Instagram, kind of, aligns with what you're describing.

Ryan: Exactly, yeah.

Jesse: So, does this mean that you have different audiences on the two platforms or are they the same folks that are finding you in multiple places and utilizing each place that they find you differently?

Ryan: Interestingly, the distribution of the country, and the gender, and age are very similar, TikTok, Instagram.

Jesse: Mm-hmm [affirmative].

Ryan: But, they have, uh, interactions... when I launch some new course, I put it on the Instagram and TikTok. Although TikTok follower is 10 times bigger than Instagram audience, the exposure or actual visiting to my website is more acquired on the Instagram.

Jesse: Interesting. Uh, what do you attribute that to?

Ryan: I attribute it to story feature in Instagram and the design itself make the difference. Because, if you turn on the TikTok, contents pops up not the followers... not the following creators' contents. But, Instagram, the following creators' content pops out the main page. So, I think the aim is different.

Jesse: Got it. So, are you tailoring your content differently for each platform or republishing similar stuff on both?

Ryan: I honestly have been uploading exactly same contents to both platform for the past two-and-a-half years. Yeah.

Jesse: Okay. Got it, got it. Okay, so that's an even better scenario to look at the difference in the power of each platform given that it's the same content. I was gonna say, "Oh, are you... you know, are you pitching people over to your website stronger on Instagram?" But, it really seems like it's, um, much more about, like, what people... what audience members themselves are looking for from each platform, which is really interesting.

Ryan: That's very analytic viewpoint that you have.

Jesse: Yeah, uh, yeah. We think hard about this stuff. And I know you think really hard about it, too, like, the utility of each platform type. One thing that was really cool to discover, pretty soon after you and I first started, was that you have developed an owned and operated platform as well, which is also titled KoreanHoon, if I'm not mistaken. It's an app that is a combination of learning modules, community, exclusive content, and is published in the app stores. How does that fit into the mix? It's really cool and unique for a creator like you to just, you know, go out and decide to create an owned and operated platform in addition to what I'm sure is an extremely time-consuming job of just keeping the main social platforms well-produced.

Ryan: I have to tell you a little bit of history of making... generating revenue through my creating life. I think this will be helpful for other podcast listener.

Jesse: Definitely.

Ryan: Many of the creator rely on advertisement. So, they receive an advertisement from the company, they do it, they get paid depending on the audience size, but I didn't want that. I didn't want to spend some time advertising something I don't care, so I decided to sell my own stuff. And, for me, as I'm teaching Korean language, I wanted to sell some Korean language courses. So, at first, I used a platform called Kajabi. They lock the content. If people pay it, they unlock the content. It's very simple. First, I sold one contents, which is a Korean pronunciation course, for 70... $97 for lifetime access. And then, as time goes by, I make multiple courses and then change it to the subscription model where people can subscribe with $29 and where they can access everything.

As I used the Kajabi, I was really, really satisfied because it has one of the best email sequence feature and, a course's outline is very beautiful. But, one thing, which kept me feel unsatisfied, was I want people to communicate within the platform, I want student to upload their study journey or speaking videos so that people can, like, see each other and motivate each other. So, I decided to make my own app because when people film their speaking video, they have to move it to the computer and upload it in the website, that's too much trouble. So, I wanted to make an app where people can directly upload from their camera and then to the, um, kind of a place where we can share our thing and that leads to the kind of a app service. And, I thought it will be much better for people to subscribe because they just, like, do the fingerprint and then they can pay the money.

Jesse: Got it, got it. Yeah, removing some of the friction from the actual purchase.

Ryan: Yeah.

Jesse: Super cool, okay. So, you have done a couple things to, kind of, recap. You've created a learning software that puts... you know, first of all, makes it really easy to publish, which strikes me as really important because when you were talking about the shooting the video part... if I was thinking about learning another language, I may feel vulnerable, to some degree, about my pronunciation. It may take a lot for me to decide to put myself out there after practicing for some time. And, if there's an additional hurdle of, "Oh, wait, not only do I have to, like, get up the courage but I have to find a place to upload this video," and make it even harder, I'm much less likely to do it. So, reducing the friction sounds really important.

And then, the community aspect of it is something I'm- I'm curious about and that is... a lot of creators refer to their audience as a community. For some creators, that is really true because there's a lot of interaction. For other creators, it's more of an audience than anything else. And, they're kind of exaggerating maybe the community element of it. And, I think one of the reasons is that the native... or the social platforms and the native communication tools within them are geared towards this, like, one to many publishing. What made you decide to prioritize community within the KoreanHoon app? And, was this stuff that you were seeing happening already within your audience and community or was it, like, features that were lacking on the big platforms that... and you knew you would have to, like, create this environment to make it happen?

Ryan: So, one of the unique thing about our service is that we make people to do a video to practice Korean speaking. So, I do the A part. It's, kind of, a skit. I do the A part. And then, people play this video and part of it. And, they record themselves speaking over here. So, in the end, it's connected. So, it feels like people are having a conversation to each other.

Jesse: That's awesome.

Ryan: I found this format of contents very good. And then, people make really, really good video. So, I used to save all those video on the Discord where people make, like, phenomenal contents, but it keep... goes away. It goes down, it disappear. So, I wanted to archive those contents because when there's no feature like this, I have to be the one who constantly have to make the contents and to show to the world that this kind of a service exist. However, when students start to make their own content and advertise with their own contents to every social platform that they have, it's complete game changer because the amount of content created on our service exponentially grows when people start to have a power to create. I think that's also same apply to TikTok because people make videos on TikTok. And, the logo, over here, made everything so much changed.

Jesse: Yeah. Totally, that was, like, a really eye opening moment for me because when I first saw TikTok, maybe it was musical.ly at the time... but, anyway, it was really early on. And, I saw that the export feature was, like, really prominent. And, my first instinct was like, "Oh, man, what are they doing? Like, they're letting all their best content go out into the world for free?" And, it turned out that this was the master, like, genius move of the app was that TikTok watermark, you know, frankly, mostly on Instagram.

[laughs]

I think, uh, Instagram has since deprioritized any video that has the TikTok logo on it and really prioritized organic content and Reels or, um, I guess I should call it native content. So, is that similar to what you're describing? Like, people can, um, publish out and share easily?

Ryan: Yeah, that's a free marketing actually and one of the best way to marketing.

Jesse: Yeah.

Ryan: And, I think that's essential for these days. People create their own content in our service platform. And, they just... they distribute it by their own, themselves and that's, kind of, a wildfire, that's how a viral content's made, that's the vibe I wanted to give it to our service.

Jesse: Amazing, that's genius. So, I have another related question to you, I guess, zooming out. So, a lot of people find it very hard to be a successful creator on TikTok, Instagram, just getting started can be very overwhelming. Then, the people that are successful, which I think is an increasing number of people as the tools get easier, but as, like, best practices grow.

But, the people that are successful start to look at, what other tools and services can they use that will complement that growth and potentially, you know, help them grow faster. So, your example is perfect, you went to Kajabi and you're like, "Oh, there's this other thing that works. And, I can put it in a... in a sequence with my free content and actually start to earn a living from the work that I do." And, there's a good chunk of people that do that. It's very, very rare to have someone, at least in my experience and from the conversations I have over the last year, who takes it to the final step and says, "The stuff that's out there is not good enough. I need to create the software or service that's perfect for me. And, I'm gonna do this in house, develop it, and publish it out in the world." How do you successfully navigate not one, not two, but three of those things including, uh, publishing your own software? And, would you recommend that to a lot of people? Like, your experience sounds like it's been positive, but I imagine it's not for everybody.

Dealing with developers and publishing software is a- a whole nother skillset.

Ryan: I think it depends on how big your dream is because if you create contents well, if you get a good, like, advertisement, you make a lot of money. I heard some of my friends have one million followers on TikTok, contract with the KFC, they pay for, like, uh, 15,000 grand per one video. So, I was like, "Oh, that's a lot."

Jesse: Yeah.

Ryan: So, it can make a good chunk of money.

Jesse: For like, KFC?

Ryan: Yeah.

[laughs]

Jesse: Selling fried chicken. Who would've thought, uh, you could make that kind of money?

Ryan: Exactly. Uh, so, if you want that, that's great. If your audience get bigger and bigger, you make more and more money. But, you have to constantly work for it, you have to constantly be the creator until your career ends. I didn't want that, I wanted to make some system, which goes along even without my participants in the end because I know I'm getting old. If I'm getting too old, it might be less value that I have as a creator. It's, kind of, [inaudible 00:20:13].

Jesse: Mm-hmm [affirmative].

Ryan: So, if you wanna make money with the advertisement and then your participation throughout the time, I think focusing on creating better contents and looking for a better audience is- is a better way, also, not to mention, looking for a good brand deals, good companies. Having a good manager will help you a lot with that. However, I didn't wanna make ads for other companies, I wanted to sell my own service. Especially, for language teaching, there are a lot of Korean teachers out there who can help on our platform. And, I wanted to make it a service where everyone can come here, and teach Korean, and get paid. And, the money circulates in our platform, so kind of a... it's a direction of a difference.

Jesse: Cool, it's... reminds me a little bit of some of the philosophy... like, there's some overlap between philosophies in the content creation world and creator world and the real estate world. Because, there's... in the real estate world, it's all about, like, setting up... you know, putting time and effort into [inaudible 00:21:25] system that eventually kicks off passive income. And, in the creator world, especially if you have your own brand, you're- you're the face of the brand. Like, your business, for example, depends on Ryan. If you're not producing content, at some point, the business might, uh, continue to evolve in other directions. But, the business, as it is today, is unlikely to be successful if Ryan's not producing content. But, at the same time, the other motions that surround your current efforts are very scalable and are very... you know, can be set up in a way that is maybe not completely passive but near passive and allow you to scale to a much bigger dream as you described it. I think that's really cool.

Ryan: Yeah, that's exactly what I intended. Yeah.

Jesse: Awesome, man. I know that you had some topics that, uh, we can get into if you have a few more minutes around growth, I know we talked about the sort of the distribution hack of making sure your brand is on video as it gets circulated. But, I would love to hear, just briefly, what worked for you in the early days of TikTok and then, you know, Instagram as well.

Ryan: There were three rules that I strictly kept for about a year, I think can be too much for some creators, but I wanted to share this because a lot of people who watching the... this podcast are creator themselves. So, we're kind of a, like, companions and I wanna help you from the bottom of my heart.

Jesse: Love it, love it.

Ryan: And, few things that I really wanna share was you want to be on the main feed, that's your ultimate goal. If you don't put your creation on the main feed on Instagram or, like, a search feed on the Instagram or For You page in the TikTok, it'd be really hard for you to grow exponentially. You can just go and click the like and comment to your target audiences, get a follow back, but that's so limited. You cannot grow your account like that over time, so your goal is to put your contents on the main feed. And, how are you gonna do it? You have to make a contents which platform likes and you have to be an account which platform likes. So to speak, your contents have to be shared a lot organically and viewed a lot. For that one, I always emphasize on making a content which brings the emotions of the audiences, which generate the emotion. If you make some kind of a plain, modest, not fun video, people don't watch it. But, if you make some entertaining content, which, like, surprises the audiences, gives them, like, deep insights or value, people feel some emotion by themself and that's the magic point where people comment, or like, or share the content.

Jesse: Yeah.

Ryan: By that Instagram, "Oh, this content, if I share in the main feed, people are gonna stay on our platform longer," so that's one thing I wanna share. And, also, you have to be an account which platform likes, you have to upload regularly at the same time. For me, for the first one year, I uploaded at 9:00 PM South Korean time every single day for about a year. And then, at first, platform just saw it, "Okay, this account is doing well," because traffic is their asset. When you think about the traffic Instagram that gives to you and then... or some unreliable creator who just disappears for about a month or months, it's a waste of traffic for Instagram to give. So, they want a loyal creator and the loyalty is seen by the upload intervals at the time. So, make emotional content and upload at a regular time. I think that'll be the golden rule for growing your audience exponentially.

Jesse: Amazing. What I like about those two rules is, like, they're not super complicated, but they may be surprising to people. Do you know what I mean?

Ryan: Yeah.

Jesse: Like, the best rules of them or the best, you know, growth rules, they're fairly simply rules, but you know, not many people are publishing consistently and not many people are thinking hard about the emotions that their content might drive. You use a lot of humor. Does that... do you consider humor as one of the, like, top priorities?

Ryan: For me, I wanted to make a positive emotion by watching my contents.

Jesse: Yeah.

Ryan: So, at the first time, I just spoke like this. But, if you become a creator, you're gonna have more expressive faces. Like, so, I start to do, like... like, kind of a stuff like this and, like, laugh a lot.

Jesse: Yeah.

Ryan: ... all those kind of a... your facial expressions make people... I think they stimulate their neurons kind of thing, that can create emotion, too, or just make skits fun. They can make people laugh. All those are aimed to be on the main page, so on the... on their level to arouse the emotion of the audiences. Those are, kind of, the strategies inside of my contents.

Jesse: Awesome, makes sense. And, on the regular uploading of content, how did you balance the rigor and the demands without getting burned out?

Ryan: That's the most difficult thing. Because, throughout the half... two-and-a-half year, I seriously contemplated to delete my account and get away from everything because it's crazy. You have to wake up, think of the content, make one, upload before the time limit.

Jesse: Yeah, yeah.

Ryan: I don't think that's healthy if you don't enjoy it. Like, either you're gonna enjoy a lot of attention, or either you're gonna be dream of making a lot of money, or either you just... making video is just your passion.

Jesse: Right, right.

Ryan: People have to be crazy, at least one of those things to continuously do the creating, I think.

Jesse: Yeah, and, ideally, all three.

Ryan: Yeah.

[laughs]

Yeah, yeah.

Jesse: Do you employ batching? Do you produce video upfront and stagger it out or are you the type that, uh, you know, each day is a different day and so you wanna produce something that day?

Ryan: For me, it was easy because language has a lot of variety. And, I just wake up and then think of the expression that I like to teach. And, I just instantly think of it in front of the camera. I don't even know what I'm gonna fill in before I stand, but I set the camera. If I look handsome, I feel better. It makes a better contents, so it's also important to find a format or some category where you can constantly produce the contents over time.

Jesse: Got it, got it, sort of, a playbook that works. And then... but then, you also leave room for some experimentation along the way?

Ryan: Yeah.

Jesse: I noticed some more... I don't... I guess they're not duets but, like, uh, referencing like, other creators or other viral videos. And, obviously, that's, like, a super core part of the TikTok experience, that's a balance, too. Because, it's like, on one hand, you have a very clear brand and a very clear format, which you described as being, like, super key to success. But, on the other hand, there are certain requirements for collaboration, and cross-referencing of other viral videos, and stuff like that. And, I'm talking mostly about TikTok at this point. It seems like Instagram will bring a lot more of that functionality soon. I saw some of their recent announcements around more formal collabs and stuff. But, yeah. How- how do you balance, like, keeping your brand super clear and crisp versus, like, collaboration?

Ryan: So, all I do is just teach one Korean language per content. So, I teach one Korean expression per one video, that's, kind of, a theme, which goes straight to my content's identity.

Jesse: Yeah.

Ryan: But, if you teach Korean language for two years, it's out of, uh, expressions. So, you teach the same thing and same thing. I didn't want to do it over time with the same format, so I'm applying a new kind of a format. But, still, I wanna touch my soul of one expression per one video, that's one thing that I can keep to my identity.

Jesse: Got it, got it. So, the core remains the same and then some of the- the outside stuff, uh, changes as you try different things. Makes sense. Wow, I know we're a little over with the time that we had planned.

Ryan: Oh.

Jesse: So, I really, really appreciate you spending the extra time with us. This is, uh... this is amazing. Are there any other topics you wanted to hit before we move to the closing?

Ryan: Um, one of the frustration that I have is that I wanted to get inside of the HiBeam service and then see, but I couldn't do it yet. So, if I knew that, I could've just, like, approached it in a way that what's really helpful, what's really amazing with the service.

Jesse: Yeah.

Ryan: But, it's the frustration that I cannot talk about that right now.

[laughs]

Jesse: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We're... we'll make sure that, next time we have you on, when they... the- the service is actually available, we can cover some of those things. But, we're getting there soon, man. We're- we're really excited to have some stuff, uh, ready for you to play around with and then we can... we can, uh, hopefully cover it next time.

Ryan: Yeah, use me as a model.

[laughs]

Jesse: Would love to, would love to. Cool. So, for folks that aren't already following and wanna know where to find you, what are the best places?

Ryan: In TikTok, in Instagram, if you type Korean H-O-O-N, you'll find my account. Also, if you go to the website called Korean H-O-O-N.com, you'll see all the platforms and service, you can use as a reference to develop your own audiences in your own product as a creator and a service maker.

Jesse: Amazing. Ryan, thank you so much for coming on. This is a- a really interesting chat. I learned a lot about everything, ranging from, like, how you manage your- your day-to-day and avoid burnout all the way to how you think about the different platforms and growth. And, um, man, a lot coming out of this conversation. So, I really appreciate it. Looking forward to talking again soon and- and thanks again for coming on the show.

Ryan: Yeah, my pleasure. Good to talk with you, Jesse.

Jesse: All right, great to talk to you. See you later.

Ryan: See you.

Jesse: Bye.
