The Creator Economy Is Booming. So Why Are Most Creators Still Struggling?

from The Upload · host Rob Balasabas

Say 5/20: The creator economy heading to $500 billion is genuinely exciting news. This industry is real, it’s growing faster than almost anything else, and the opportunity for individual creators is bigger than it’s ever been.But the number on its own doesn’t mean anything for your business. What matters is whether you’re building something that actually captures value from that growth. And that comes down to owning your audience, owning your products, and building revenue that doesn’t depend on someone else’s platform or algorithm.That’s episode five of twenty. I’m Rob Balasabas. See you tomorrow on The Upload.
