Hello creators,
We hope you have been able to shake off the slug of the long weekend followed by the festivities and are back to your awesome creative self!
We have been thinking about art and creativity. And how we have democratized the domains, extended the table, embraced newer possibilities, and grown so much as a community.
What’s Happening in the Creator Economy?
A lot! A lot! A lot!
I know your feed must be filled with Meta memes, and Facebook renaming itself is perhaps the biggest indication of the upheaval that’s taking place in the creator economy today. And though most of it seems far off and alien to our daily lives even as ‘middle-class’ creators but believe me it is not.
All this talk about NFT, Crypto, blockchain, web3, and what not! But does all this actually mean?
This is the most comprehensible guide to Crypto out there on the internet. Get yourself a cup of tea, sit down and start taking notes.
NFTs might force Havard, Hollywood, and others to reinvent themselves.
The Creator Economy Investments could hit 5 Billion Dollars this year!
“Increasingly marketplaces like Kickstarter, Patreon, Substack, and many other Passion Economy platforms enable users to directly fund the products, information, and services that they consume.
As the role of the individual in value creation becomes more commonplace, the next evolutionary step is towards software that is not only built, operated, and funded by individual users—but owned by users too.”
The changing face of the ‘100 True Fans’ model
“Cult fans: those who might spend a ton on things that others find illogical. Think BTS fans who buy multiple copies of things they have no use for or NFT collectors”
“In aggregating monetization across these 50 platforms, we’ve found that creators will soon pass more than $10 billion in aggregate earnings. While 2020 saw a jump in new creators, it wasn’t a one-time spike. A year later, creators are still coming online at a record clip: the number of creators is up a whopping 48% year-over-year. In total, these platforms have onboarded 668,000 creators.”
