🙈 Sorry we’re not sorry Linkedin…

In February, we officially matched LinkedIn’s 2023 session time & page views per visit per daily active user. While that jargon might be a little technical, it’s a critical signal that Creatorland is delivering value to YOU our members, and that we’re on the right track.

🤐 Ultra-Premium Features are coming…

On Friday, you may have noticed a little email in your inbox from me about a new survey we’re conducting on the future of Creatorland (link here). Thank you to the 600 of you who have already filled this out, YOU ARE INCREDIBLE!

Sometime next week, we’re going to be announcing a suite of new pay-to-access features that we think are going to blow your mind, so watch your inboxes for something special. More to come!

Creator Economy News

• Bad news first…
  The House has passed a bill with bipartisan support potentially banning TikTok in the U.S., citing concerns about national security and data privacy, but its fate remains uncertain as it moves to the Senate for evaluation. The legislation aims to pressure TikTok's China-based owner to divest, sparking debates over free speech and the impact on small businesses heavily reliant on the platform.

• Elon wants X TV to be a thing 
  Elon Musk is pushing for video content on X and is reportedly working on an app for smart TVs, aiming to compete with YouTube's living room viewership. While details remain scarce, the move suggests Musk's efforts to revitalize X's revenue streams amidst struggles, including a drop in usage and advertiser exits.

• Did you see the Tarte Bora Bora trip?
  Tarte Cosmetics continues its influencer marketing strategy with luxury trips to destinations like Bora Bora, aiming to foster deeper relationships with creators and consumers. While facing some criticism, particularly regarding past trips, Tarte's CEO Maureen Kelly emphasizes the effectiveness of these trips in building brand excitement and forging meaningful connections, citing them as a more valuable long-term investment compared to traditional advertising methods.

Creatorland Featured Tips!
TikTok Trends You Should Hop On 📈

TikTok Trend #1: “Wait... Wait a minute!”
In this trend, share a scenario where you initially believe you have a grasp on something or excel momentarily, only to discover that you are actually quite the opposite and struggle with it. Have fun with it and spotlight common challenges your audience may also encounter.

TikTok Trend #2: “If I won the lottery...”
In this TikTok trend, share something you'd purchase if you were wealthy or suddenly struck it rich. Make it humorous or quirky, perhaps something seemingly absurd yet completely logical to you. Start with the phrase "If I won the lottery, I wouldn't tell anyone..." and then reveal your desired purchase. But hold on... Wait a minute!

TikTok Trend #3: “I'm so happy someone made...”
In this trend, aim to discuss a situation or scenario that excites you greatly, sparking an intense desire to gossip or talk about it due to a shared interest with your audience. Keep the tone light-hearted and enjoyable while addressing a common problem or interest among your targeted audience.
