Every creator has brands they already love, have worked with, or would love to partner with next. Now there’s a place on Creatorland to explore their work, meet the people connected to them, and follow what they’re doing.

Brand Pages are live, with more than 1,700 brands to explore, and thousands more coming in the next few days. Since our soft launch on Monday, brands across Creatorland have gained thousands of new followers.

Start with a past partner or a dream brand. You might find familiar faces, inspiration for your next pitch, or a new connection worth making.

Members are already sharing work associated with brands across Creatorland. Claim your brand’s page to bring your team into that conversation.

Once approved, you can customize your page and publish as your brand to your followers’ Newsfeeds. Share what you’re hiring for, promote a new initiative, invite people to an event, or start a conversation with the Creatorland community.

It’s a way to stay connected with people who have worked with your brand and build relationships with those who want to.

Claiming and managing your page is free. Find your brand and select the option to claim it. If it isn’t listed yet, you can submit it and request to manage the page in the same step.

We have a ton of new features for managing your brand community on Creatorland in the works so stay tuned!

For digital creators, building a media company starts with turning what already works into something you can produce, sell, and distribute repeatedly.

Start with a format your audience returns for, whether that’s a weekly interview, industry breakdown, or recurring tutorial. Give it a name, a consistent schedule, and a clear audience promise so sponsors can buy into a series instead of a single post.

Then build additional offers around the same expertise.

A tutorial series could support paid workshops or creative services. An interview show could expand into live events. Existing videos could be licensed to other publishers.

Shira Lazar’s What’s Trending illustrates the approach. It has expanded its internet-culture coverage into brand partnerships, creative services, licensing, and events, with distribution relationships including MSN, Spotify, and Screenvision.

For your own business, start with one proven format and one complementary offer. The opportunity is to earn more from the expertise and content you already create, then build the processes and team to make that growth sustainable.

New York City’s streets, subways, and neighborhood shops are becoming sets for a growing wave of creator-led shows. According to The New York Times, series like Recess Therapy, SubwayTakes, and Shop Cats are turning everyday encounters into recognizable programming.

The opportunity extends beyond views. Mad Realities has struck a deal with Fox’s creator division to develop programs, while Fallen Media says it is testing nine new shows.

More creators are competing for the same locations and attention. A recognizable backdrop helps, but the stronger opportunity is building a distinctive show that viewers remember and want to watch again.

Ads appearing on TikTok promise users cash for watching videos. But “Screentime to Cash” is not an official TikTok program, and creators should verify those claims before sharing them with their audiences.

According to a Mashable investigation, third-party advertisers designed the promotions to resemble TikTok notifications. TikTok told the publication it had removed the ads and associated accounts for violating its policies on deceptive practices.

The ads direct users toward “get-paid-to” apps, which offer rewards for completing surveys, downloading games, or performing other tasks. These businesses may earn affiliate commissions and share a portion with users once they meet payout requirements.

That distinction matters: users are completing tasks for outside companies, rather than receiving payment from TikTok for scrolling.

Some services offer legitimate small payments, but Mashable also found user complaints about accounts being suspended before rewards could be withdrawn. Those complaints do not establish that every rewards app is fraudulent, but they highlight why payout conditions deserve scrutiny.

For creators considering an affiliate partnership, check who operates the offer, what users must do to earn, and whether the advertised payout matches the terms. A commission is only one part of the decision; recommending a misleading offer can undermine the audience trust that makes your business valuable.

What if I told you you could get paid to take calls?

I’ve partnered with software companies that pay qualified business owners, affiliates and creators to spend 30 minutes learning about their products. If you’re a digital creator running a business, there’s a good chance you’ll qualify for several of these opportunities.

Set aside a few hours, book the calls that interest you, and earn extra cash simply for showing up. I call it Uber Black money. All you have to do is take the call.

If you’re already taking calls with companies and evaluating new tools, this is a great way to get rewarded for it.
