Pressing challenges creators face
According to a January 2022 report by Kalaari Capital, out of close to 80 million creators, including video streamers, influencers, bloggers, physical product creators, and others, only 150,000 content creators are able to monetize effectively. That's less than 0.2% of the total audience.
The typical lifecycle of any content creator’s business can be divided into four segments — creation, discovery, monetization, and growth. While creation and discovery are mastered over time, most creators feel the heat of rising ad costs and increased competition as they try to hit their monetization and growth goals.
Utility and value driven content
There's a common theme arising out of most social media content being created in 2022. Content that is educational, inspirational, and empowering. This trifecta allows creators to get more traction & following. Using this trifecta, creators are now building additional revenue streams outside the social media and YouTube ecosystems. One crowd favorite is to offer digital products from their own websites. Since digital products have minimal input and logistical costs, they offer maximum returns on investments. Products like online courses, webinars, coaching programs, memberships, and subscriptions are driving exponential monetization growth for content creators.
