How the Creator Economy Reinvents Earning and Marketing

"So, while people pursuing goals in the sphere of content creation are not only profiting themselves, they are also benefiting others. They have become one of the main sales funnels. When ads and commercials no longer take the lead, it's crucial to understand how the creator economy pushes different consumer behaviour and how it becomes a successful business for the creators themselves."

"The creator economy encompasses all platforms where people showcase their digital content to audiences. It might be YouTube, filled with millions of videos, or a website like DeviantArt, where people can share and monetize their art. Specifically, content creators form closer bonds with their audience.
