The response to this has been epic! Hundreds of creators are now joining Creatorland weekly through this initiative, and guess what? They're landing cool gigs and forming killer partnerships with our early partners. Got a brand or agency? Wanna dive into this creator pool? We've still got some spots open – and yep, it's on the house. So, if you're all about connecting with ace creators, apply to participate here.

🤯 There are over 600 active convos going down in Creatorland right now around collabs and partnerships, so don’t get left out. We’ll be announcing a version of this program for Creators and Talent Managers soon, don’t worry! More to come in our next edition. Now on to what’s happening in the wide world of the creator economy!

The Latest from The Creator Economy

• Are you still vibing to Netflix via DVD?

• 🎵 It’s a bad idea right? 🎵

• Tired of your job? In-N-Out might pay more 🤷

  Lynsi Snyder (owner of In-N-Out) reveals that the average pay for an In-N-Out store manager is over $180,000 🤯, which includes store profit-sharing. To put it in perspective, the annual mean wage for a restaurant food manager is around $60K.

• YouTube is working to prevent health misinformation

  YouTube is updating its medical misinformation policies, categorizing content under three categories: Prevention, Treatment, and Denial.

• Gamers, this platform is for YOU!

  FreshCut, a short-form video app founded by three Twitch alums, has garnered over two million visitors and a community of 130,000 content creators. The platform focuses on gaming content and aims to differentiate itself from competitors like Twitch by offering a generous revenue-sharing structure and a community-oriented approach with specific subcategories based on gaming franchises.

Creatorland Featured Tips:
10 rapid fire tips for growing as a content creator!

#1: Create content based on what you’re already doing (not what you think you should be.)

#2: A big part of content creation is consumption. Focus on watching content about what you want to talk about- always be learning in your niche.

#3: Quantity is key when you’re starting. The more you post, the more data you’ll have of what content themes perform best.

#4: Share your controversial views, it will make 50% of people love you more, and the other 50% will boost your video to insane heights with their comments.

$5: Give people a reason to follow you. The most common reason people follow you is to see more similar content- keep the tone of your content consistent and you’ll have people following for more.

#6: Tell stories. The easiest way to get people to watch your videos to the end is by telling stories that have people desperate to know the ending.

#7: Choose 3-5 topics that you love creating content about and cycle them throughout your content to create your personal brand.

#8: Show your face right as the video starts. It’s the most attention grabbing and engaging way to start a video.

#9: Get into a routine of consuming AND creating content daily. All the tips in the world can’t outperform daily action.

#10: Be honest. Share the good, share the bad, share the normal. People connect with real people with relatable lives.
