The Next Great Disruptor: The Creator Economy Millionaire

The Next Great Disruptor: The Creator Economy Millionaire

"I think that 2023 will be the year of the creator economy, and that 'the crypto millionaire' is going to be replaced by 'the creator millionaire." Grant Sabatier, Founder of Millennial Money

Data from Insider Intelligence suggests that in 2023, U.S. influencer-marketing spend is expected to exceed $6 billion.

Now is the perfect time to make a living in the creator economy due to the high demand for creative content. Because of the internet, and now the blockchain, we're so interconnected that there is an ever-growing demand for authentic, transparent, vulnerable, and creative content that can entertain, educate, and inspire. Creators can find success by building in public, becoming part of a community, and producing content they truly care about. Speaking of building in public, I'm super excited to have been chosen for Kevon Cheung's, Build in Public Cohort. He is super nice. Do yourself a favor and follow him on Twitter and join his next cohort.

5 Billion People Need Your Content

Did you know that there are now over eight billion people on the planet and of those over five billion have access to the internet? Do you know what that means? It means there is a continuous need for new content, which makes it a great time to enter the creator economy and make a living with your creativity. Not only that, but, new industries are popping up faster than ever, such as web3, AR, VR, AI and so much more.

With the above-mentioned advancements in technology, it’s easier now than ever to create content and make it available to a global audience. There are countless tools and platforms that allow creators to create and share their work, collaborate with other creators, and even monetize their content from day one.

The Demise of Traditional Traffic-Generating Platforms

According to the Business Insider article mentioned at the outset, Sabatier said: "I don't think it's going to last for that long — maybe three to five years," he said, mostly because of the uncertainty of various social media platforms. "At some point in the near future the traditional traffic-generating platforms for creators will be under threat. We're already seeing traffic decrease with Facebook. We're seeing it with Twitter, too. With the changes under Elon Musk, people are abandoning Twitter and there are more restrictions, like not allowing you to include external links to other social platforms.

"And then there's TikTok, which has seen a meteoric rise in popularity in the past couple of years. Creators are building massive audiences on the platform and earning money from brand deals, song promotions, live streams, the TikTok Creator Fund, and ad-revenue sharing.

But, as Sabatier points out, the platform could be banned in the US due to security concerns.

A Platform That Puts Creators First

Yes, there are countless tools and platforms that allow creators to create and share their work, collaborate with other creators, and even monetize their content, but with there are growing concerns over platforms being banned, creators being de-platformed, and restrictions imposed on external links. Creators need a platform that has been built from the ground up to put them first. The answer is the blockchain, specifically, the DeSo Blockchain.

From the desk of Li Jin, Co-Founder & General Partner at Variant:

The next big thing in 2023 is decentralized social networking. "We're finally beginning to see users waking up en masse to the risks of centralized social networking companies, not least catalyzed by the recent threatened ban of TikTok and Twitter's capricious suspensions and prohibiting linking out to other platforms. Users, creators, and businesses have realized that it's dangerous to invest in building an audience on these platforms when there's a looming risk that the rug gets pulled out from under them. We're at a moment where there is a collective sense of "We’ve lived with the existing paradigm of closed social platforms for 15 years. What comes next?" I think we'll see a decentralized social network start to gain steam in the next year that allows users to own their social graph and content and port it across various applications*. We'll also see more creators experimenting with web3 tools that allow them to reach their audience in a platform-less way, i.e. through tokens acting as a new kind of social graph."*
