I graduated from college 10 years ago. At the time, if anyone around me would have labeled themselves a “creator,” they would have been met with a blank stare.

You mean an inventor? Like Thomas Edison type stuff?

Fast forward to today, it is not out of the realm of possibilities that someone in your direct social circle is either a creator or an influencer on some degree.

The global pandemic engulfed our lives in an inferno. While the smoke settles, something else seems to have caught fire.

The creator model is just getting started.

A tidal wave of new creators have entered the space. Ready to plant their flags on any islands they stumble upon.

More people equate to more ideas. Developers are hard at work incorporating these fresh perspectives into new products, tools, and offerings that help creators reach the masses with little friction.

I hear a lot of people say, “The bar has never been lower.”

Tomorrow we will say it again. And again. And again. Each day we are iterating and improving on ways to connect with people.

The positive feedback loop will continue.

As the top earners push new monetary milestones, more people will choose to leave the sidelines. Throw their hats into the ring. Which leads to fresh ideas. Which means more work for the developers.

Buckle up, creators are about to create.

To the moon.
