Chapter 1: What does Marquis Trill reveal about going off the grid?
Yes, sir. But he was responsible for a lot of big celebrities losing their accounts, paying 5K to get it back, and he was running a whole scheme with that. That's crazy. Crazy. I'm all ethical over here.
That's the thing, right? One thing I learned about making money is if you make it unethically, you're going to lose it. All right, guys. First pod in 10 years. Marquise Trill, thanks for coming on, man. What's up, man? How you doing? Good. Brought him out of retirement. Brought me out of retirement, for sure. You've been low-key.
Super low-key with social media and everything that's going on and just everybody exposing everything pretty much. I was just kind of trying to stay out of the way, you know? What made you step back so long ago? Because I feel like you were really big 10 years ago, posting every day, right?
Yeah, every day. I was loving social media. But just when Facebook meta in general just started suppressing the content, where you weren't being seen by everyone in the whole entire world, and they kind of put everybody in a box, that's when I was like, no, I can't. I feel that. I can't produce this every single day.
yeah because now you only hit like five percent of your followers not even not even maybe one maybe two dude my story views are down like the non-followers right it was like i get more views from non-followers than followers on my reels exactly isn't that crazy it's it's insane that's why i just stopped in general and then the whole crypto thing happened and i kind of like went into a rabbit hole you caught that wave i definitely caught that wave so when did you get in crypto
2017. Oh, so that was the second wave, right? Yes. And right after Super Bowl, I put a certain amount of money in Bitcoin because of my friend. I didn't want to put it in a bank. And a couple months later, he was like, yo, go check your account. I was like, all right, cool. I checked it. I didn't know how to get it out, though. Yeah. That was the crazy part.
And the only thing he told me was do your own research. Did my own research. I tried to transfer the Bitcoin to these wallets. Yeah. And then from the wallets, I put them on the exchange. And that's when I found out about Binance. Once I found out about Binance, it was pretty much a wrap after that. You started trading altcoins? I didn't know about altcoins.
I was like, altcoins, two cents, three cents? Oh, no. That's how you make 2550X. Yeah. was over after that. So I've just been chilling low key. I haven't really been doing anything except for just helping people out, the people knowing what I do behind the scenes. I feel that. What's been like that on you mentally, just having all this money, not knowing kind of where to go from there?
Personally, it's just like being one with self, trying not to fall out of the loop. You see a lot of people purchasing things and buying things. When you purchase and buy things, things get notified. You get red flagged. You have more enemies. People are watching you more. I just try to stay. I learn from people's mistakes. Watching social media, you see how things happen to people a lot. 100%.

Chapter 2: How can influencers ethically monetize their following?
You flex a little too hard. You flex too hard. The government's going to get you or somebody's going to get you. Oh, yeah. And you put more eyeballs on your profile, whether that's girls, whether that's guys hating on you, whether that's people that grew up with you.
Yep. I'll never flex again. I made that mistake in L.A. I flexed 100K cash on my Instagram story. Next day, whole gang's at my apartment. Yeah. You learn, though. You learn. I'm never doing that again. It was so dumb, too.
I was thinking, like, when I came up to the pod, I was like, yo, am I going to wear chains? I'm not going to wear chains. Am I going to wear earrings? I'm not going to. For the culture or for just, like, not for the culture? I was just like, no, I'm not going to. Yeah, I don't even wear any of my watches on the pod or anything. Yeah. Because you never know.
You never know. Because we're here now. Yeah. There's no telling what IPs and... Anytime you're in a major city, you got to kind of, especially L.A. or Miami. Just be aware. These places are not the place to play around.
Chapter 3: What strategies can help avoid pitfalls in social media?
Absolutely. That's why you're on the nomad lifestyle right now. Nomad lifestyle. Traveling, living my best life, traveling to different countries, meeting new people, staying in places for months at a time, giving back to the locals. Nice. That's pretty much what I'm doing right now other than social media tech stuff. Yeah. You're going to TikTok next week, you said?
Yeah, going to TikTok next week, they've deleted a couple of my clients' accounts. Damn. So it's like... What was the reason? What's the deal? There's no reason. It's just targeting. My clients are pretty popular, so just them being targeted, getting deleted over and over, us having to pay for it over and over. So it's like pretty much we need a rep from our agency. So just, hey, who's the rep?
Who's going to help? And we need to get this fixed. That's the whole business model. People deleting accounts and then you have to pay the same guy to get it back. The same guy. Did you see someone got arrested by the FBI doing that in Vegas a month ago? No, no. Tell me about it. What's his name, dude? You don't have to tell me the name.
So he went on Adam 22's podcast and was talking about his business. And then the next week he got arrested by the FBI. That's why these podcasts get you in trouble. Watch what you say. Watch what you say on these podcasts because the feds.
This episode of Digital Social Hour is brought to you by BetterHelp. How do you keep cozy during the holiday season? My favorite way is wrapping up in a blanket and watching Christmas movies with my family and two dogs, Milo and Otis. The holidays can be tough on people and seasonal depression is no joke. Therapy is a great way to bring yourself some comfort that lasts even when the seasons change.

Yes, sir. But he was responsible for a lot of big celebrities losing their accounts, paying 5K to get it back, and he was running a whole scheme with that. That's crazy. Crazy. I'm all ethical over here. That's the thing, right? One thing I learned about making money is if you make it unethically, you're going to lose it. You know what I mean? I don't know any scammers that long term.
There's no such thing as a long term. That's what I'm trying to tell people. It's like people are like, oh, you're a scammer. You don't post anything. You don't do anything. You don't show us what you're doing or how you make your money. We see you living. We see you look good. You've been on social media for a long time. But what do you actually do? That's how you're supposed to live it.

Chapter 4: What are the keys to long-term success in the digital space?
You know what I mean? Unless you're an NBA player. But you don't know NBA players' personal lives unless they showcase it. I think a lot of people don't understand that the richest people in the world are not on Forbes. You know what I mean? They're not. They don't even have social media. They have no social media.
You don't know what their personal kinks or lifestyle or what they're doing on a day-to-day basis. So it's just from understanding life and people, I think it's just best to just kind of like stay under the radar. Yeah. You're low-key, but you got some notable followers. Right. You got the top celebrities in the world and billionaires following you.
Chapter 5: How has social media changed the landscape for influencers?
Chapter 6: What insights does Marquis share about OnlyFans?
You flex too hard. The government's going to get you or somebody's going to get you. Oh, yeah. And you put more eyeballs on your profile, whether that's girls, whether that's guys hating on you, whether that's people that grew up with you. Yep. I'll never flex again.

Chapter 7: What lessons can be learned from Marquis's experiences with licensing companies?
Chapter 8: How can creators adapt to changes in social media algorithms?
Now everyone's doing it. When everybody was hating on me because I was the first person to get the feature, then everybody got it, now everybody does it. I don't even do it. No, it's done now. That feature is done. You see this latest one with the close friend story? Close friend story is crazy. That's nuts. I was like... I don't know where they're going.
I'm too scared to use it on my account, but people are getting 20 extra views, though. Yeah. It's nuts. I just story watch or just watch all the stories using that platform. I remember that one, too. Yeah. It would automatically view stories. Yeah. That still works. Yeah. Damn. I thought they would update that one by now. Really? You can do about 100,000, 150,000. Damn. That's a lot.
And what percentage of them come to your page, you think? I probably get a couple thousand followers. Oh, wow. That's a pretty good growth hack. This close friends one is nuts, dude. Think so? Dude, if you have 10 million followers, which you do, right? You could add all of them to your close friends. Your story views go up 30x overnight. But you got to do close friends individually.
No, there's an API that adds all your followers. Okay, we got to talk about that. We'll talk about it, yeah. It's pretty nuts. A lot of the music labels are using that right now on their artists. It's not going to get them more sales, but yeah, it's a good thing. Get some more views and stories. I don't even watch feed posts anymore.
no no i love my trending posts really yeah i love i love my explore page i'll watch reels just to study what's going viral but i'm talking about the feed like your feed my feed you follow yeah no i love my explore page my explore page is curated to me like perfectly i only do explore page yeah for sure and stories sometimes i love stories yeah but it's cool seeing what's what's going viral and seeing where the trends are going
Yeah, I mean, I think social media platforms are pushing the trends. I don't think people are pushing trends. I think people are watching what's trending and the media companies, these platforms are pushing what's trending. Really? People copy other people that's trending. Interesting. I could see that. You think the people are going viral, but it's really the platform pushing those people.
Well, YouTube definitely does that for certain creators. They've been doing that for a while. That's like a little hack. For sure. You think other platforms do that, though? Yeah, yeah, for sure. Wow. I'm trying to think on Instagram who they're pushing, but I don't know.
I feel like YouTube's the worst. I'm pretty sure you've seen a lot of girls going viral. They have 20,000 followers, but they'll have a picture that have 30,000 likes. Oh, like the OF girls? The OF girls. Yeah. And there's some that are not OF.
Just as long as you're aesthetically pleasing and guys are liking your account within the first 30, 30 minutes, 15 minutes, and people are sending it, that's what they're basically focused on on those platforms. So how many sends you're getting and how fast people are liking and commenting on your platform. Then that basically triggers the algorithm. The algorithm. And it gets it popping.
