Creatorland Platform Updates

Creatorland Platform - AI & 1 Billion Followers

🤖 AI at Creatorland

When we started working on Creatorland our primary goal was to address the challenge of facilitating seamless professional networking among creators. I'm thrilled to share that we have achieved an impressive feat: Creatorland can now identify creator economy contacts in a user's phone book with an impressive accuracy rate of 92!

This technology is central to help creators and creator economy professionals rapidly identify content creators, talent managers, agency owners, and creator economy startup personnel they’ve worked with in the past, or might not even know they’re connected to. We’ll be debuting this as part of our BETA rollout over the next 30 days.

🎉 Announcing 1 BILLION Followers!!

We are thrilled to announce that Creatorland has officially crossed 1 billion followers on our waitlist! We are so grateful for the overwhelming response and support we have received from the creator community nationwide.

Here’s a few interesting facts about creators on our waitlist:

• Average following: 235,151

• Largest Creator: 45M Followers on IG

• Network with most followers: TikTok - 745M Followers

• Non-creator professionals: 1000+

Last week we starting bringing creators into the platform for early feedback and have been LOVING the positive reviews and helpful tweaks. Over the next few weeks we’ll be letting more and more of you come in and start building your profiles and projects, so stay tuned!

Once again, we want to thank each and every one of you for being a part of the Creatorland community. We look forward to continuing this journey together and providing you with the tools and resources you need to thrive in the creator economy.

• YouTube isn’t happy with your ad blocker 😬
  YouTube is testing anti-adblock messages that ask users to disable ad blockers or subscribe to YouTube Premium for an ad-free experience.

Creatorland Featured Tips: Trending on TikTok

Here’s an insider look on trends you should definitely hop on this week to increase your reach!

“Also…I dunno” | 62.5K Videos

In this trend, you want to give the impression that you've recently realized that what you're talking about or sharing might not be the right thing to do anymore. It's as if you're unsure or have come to the understanding that this isn't the best idea.

“No matter how bad life gets…” | 74.1K Videos

In this trend, the idea is to showcase a sense of pride for not engaging in activities that others typically do, especially those that may be seen as embarrassing or desperate within your niche. The tone should be lighthearted, while subtly addressing some of the unspoken topics common within your industry.

Car Driveby | 60.6K Videos

In this trend, the idea is to create a scenario where you simulate a moment of quiet self-realization, only to be suddenly disrupted by a passing car blasting music or engaging in an activity that goes against your preferences or approval. It should maintain a light-hearted tone.
