The Latest from The Creator Economy
Goldman Sachs Predicts a 480B Creator Economy by 2027
One of the largest investment banks in the world is predicting parabolic growth for the creator economy over the next 4 years. While the current market has contracted, it’s set to explode. So get excited!TikTok’s 18-and-up content is live!
TikTok’s new feature allows creators to limit their viewers to ages 18+. Don’t get the wrong idea, users still have to follow all content guidelines. TikTok’s Content Levels are designed to keep content for users 13-17 age-appropriate.
Lemon8 is growing and may face the same potential ban as TikTok.
Lemon8 has quickly grown to be in the app store’s top 10 apps in the US. Owned by ByteDance, this platform is designed to compete with Instagram. However, if Lemon8 collects data in the same way TikTok does, it will face the same potential ban.
As promised, Twitter released part of it’s source code to the public.
Here’s what it means and how you can use it to boost your engagement on the platform.
Instagram launches 5 links in bio - sucks to be LinkTree. Check out the announcement on Techcrunch here.

Creatorland Featured Tips: Redline Law.
Legal Tips from a Creator Attorney, Stephen Kane.
One of our MOST requested education sections is about how to negotiate brand deals, what’s fair and what’s unfair in a talent agreement. We’re not attorneys over here, but we know someone who is, Stephen Kane from Redline Law Group!
Redline is dedicated to helping creators navigate the crazy world of contracts and he volunteered to share some tips on what to look out for when negotiating a brand deal and thinking through deliverables in a breakdown below.
Custom Materials + Other Obligations
A good contract is all about making sure both sides are on the same page. It's important to work out the details ahead of time and have a clear understanding of what you're getting into, to help ensure a successful business relationship and avoid issues down the road. For example:
What are the custom materials for this campaign? Make sure the deliverables are clear before you sign.
Are they asking for exclusivity? If so, would that conflict with any of your other deals?
Review and confirm you're okay with the proposed delivery schedule
Review the key creative requirements - any deal-breakers?
Timeline - try and lock down the deliverable timeframe. When do they need the assets by? How long do they want these to be featured on your profile?
We’ll be sharing more legal tips in the coming weeks, so stay tuned. Also, if you’re liking this section - reply to this newsletter and let us know! We love hearing from you on what you’re liking or would like more of 😊.

What people are saying
We asked a few creators what they’re looking forward to about Creatorland. Here’s what they shared with us. Share your expectations with us at [email protected] for a chance to be featured on our site or next newsletter!
I love that Creatorland has something to offer for everyone! It’s so easy to connect with other creators in your niche or branch out and learn more! My platform is always changing and with starting my new podcast Creatorland is helping me connect with other creators already in that zone and that’s really cool to me!

I joined Creatorland to learn more about negotiating with brands and managers. It can be a little scary when you are attempting to run your social media platforms and keep it professional behind the scenes by yourself, so what better way to learn than from other creators themselves that have been down this path.
