Creator Economy News

• BeReal is introducing “Real Brands” (aka sponsored content)
  BeReal, the app known for its unconventional approach to social media, is introducing features called RealPeople and RealBrands, allowing users to follow celebrities and brands for their posts to appear alongside those of friends. With this move, BeReal aims to attract high-profile users, enhance engagement, and potentially generate revenue through sponsored content, despite concerns about maintaining the app's core values of authenticity and spontaneity.

• Instagram introduces stricter messaging
  Meta has announced a default setting for Facebook and Instagram accounts of teens under 16 (or under 18 in certain countries), blocking strangers from sending direct messages to prevent unwanted contact. The policy also restricts adults over 19 from messaging teens who don't follow them on Instagram and blocks teens from receiving direct messages from other teens they do not follow, aiming to enhance safety following revelations of "staggering levels of abuse" targeting young users.

• Twitch has an exciting new revenue program!

  Twitch is introducing the Partner Plus Program, allowing both Partners and Affiliates to earn higher revenue shares for subscriptions starting May 1. Affiliates can qualify for the program by reaching 300 Plus points for the 70/30 net revenue share level on paid and gift subscriptions, with a name change to just the Plus Program, and they will no longer face the $100k cap on the 70/30 net revenue share level.

• Tech lay-offs reach TikTok

  TikTok is cutting approximately 60 employees, primarily from its sales and advertising division, as part of a routine reorganization aimed at reducing costs. The layoffs follow a trend in the tech industry, with major companies like Google and Amazon also cutting thousands of jobs this year amid a shift toward developing new generative AI tools.

Creatorland Featured Tips!
3 Types of Content that Brands Should be Creating

UGC that overcomes common objections:

This is the type of content that will result in conversions, and it is powerful. Step one is to understand what common objections keep your customers from buying. If you own a clothing brand, maybe it’s the inability to determine quality; in that case, create user-generated content that highlights the quality, fit, and style of the clothing.

Content that highlights Brand Values:

Eighty-two percent of buyers want the brands they purchase from to have values that align with their own. When brands openly communicate their values, it helps establish deeper trust with consumers. It shows that the brand is genuine, transparent, and stands by a set of principles. Consumers are more likely to engage with and remain loyal to brands they trust.

We’ve seen this happen time and time again in competitive markets where products or services may be similar; values become a key differentiator. Consumers may choose a brand not just for the product but also because they align with the brand's values. This differentiation can contribute to a competitive advantage.

Niche-specific entertainment:

The #1 way to capture the attention of your audience base on social media is by creating niche-specific content that entertains your ideal customer. If your customer base is fitness-focused individuals, poke fun at the industry in a relatable way.

This type of content is most likely to go viral and gain eyeballs on your brand & products.
