🌀 KiwisMedia Weekly 12: The State of the Creator Economy
Nowadays, there are many more ways for creative people to make a living, to a large extent thanks to opportunities offered by social media and Web 2.0.
The creator economy is a subset of the passion economy. This is because creators are usually people who can now earn an income from doing something they feel passionate about. It may have just begun as a hobby, and it would probably have remained that in the past. But nowadays, many passionate creators have found a way to make their hobby viable enough to earn at least a steady income.
Creators have had to diversify in their methods of earning money. Some of the ways creators make money include:
Selling digital content
Sharing advertising revenue
Creating or sharing sponsored content
Featuring product placement
Receiving subscriptions
Receiving tips
Receiving one-off sales or donations
Receiving money from a fan club

Q. What’s that one thing you want to achieve in 2021?
A. My plan for 2020 has been completely destroyed by COVID-19, so I’m pretty hesitant to have any long-term plan right now. I still want to grow my apps to more customers. Hopefully, it’ll help me break through the ramen profit.
