This week I recorded another solo episode in which I discuss several trends that I’ve been seeing over the past couple months as well as some concerns I’ve been hearing from influencers. I also answer a question I’ve been getting a lot lately and share a new research tool.

Feel free to skip around, here are the topics I cover in order from beginning to end:

• Is influencer marketing still hot in China?
• New daigou search tool
• Influencers increasingly frustrated by the monetization of Weibo and Meipai
• 15-second vertically shot videos the latest content trend
• New gamification features on line streaming apps
• Another crackdown on live streaming content
• Ecommerce live streaming
