A man of many talents from ‘near Colchester’. Kip creates content around theme parks and technology, not both at the same time. Kip is proud of his honest reviews, he’s not ashamed to call out things that aren’t working. Creators have a responsibility where people will make decisions based on your content, so honesty is very important for respecting your audience. When Kip started there weren’t many theme park content creators, but now there are LOADS! Kip will go in as a normal punter and have an unbiased experience. Kip’s been blogging since 2008, which makes him an OG blogger. He was a ‘Daddy’ blogger, but has moved away from it now his children are older so they can have their own voice. Random fact - His number one blog ever was a review of Just For Men Control GX Shampoo. Can you trust influencers? Being offered nipple cream and incontinence pads as a parent blogger. Kip was on Gadget Man with Richard Ayoade reviewing self-folding buggies in Clissold Park, London. To create content you need to learn to write scripts, present, edit, camera man, social media coordination, PR, advertising - it’s constant and it’s hard work. Where can you learn all of these skills? Kip learned as he went. Kip never scripts his content, but has a good feel for what he wants to talk about, and then can always fix it with some edit magic. Committing and developing as you go along will see your skills grow. Making content that pleases the secret algorithms on social media platforms. Testing and optimising social media content. Turning your content side hustle into your main job. We love Meta Glasses! Making money from affiliate sales. Nick talks about going underwater at Loch Ness in a robot dolphin (true story). Big up Adventure Island in Southend. Nick declares Axis to be the greatest ride in Essex. Big up Pleasurewood Hills. Kip LOVES 13 at Alton Towers - the theming and experience is great and especially because it has an element of surprise - and that’s what makes a top tier ride. Talking about the very relaxing for autistic people Planet Coaster 2 computer game. Excitement about Universal Studios UK (near Essex). Is Woody Bear doing a Michael Jackson? Nick talks about hitting his head on the Zip World Mittal Orbit slide in Stratford. The podcast goes a bit crazy with Sangita’s new ride suggestion Euthanasia.
