🚀 CREATORLAND JUST HIT 70k MEMBERS

2025 has been our biggest year yet. This week, we crossed 70,000 members a 300% jump since January, and we're adding 5,000+ new members every month.

The timing couldn't be better, because major upgrades are dropping this quarter:

Your profile, reimagined based on your feedback: New customization options, cleaner design, and a completely streamlined portfolio experience. Adding your collabs & branded work will take minutes, not hours.

Your network, supercharged: New ways to connect with the creators and brands who matter most.

We're building the infrastructure this industry has needed for years. You're early. And what's coming next is going to make that matter even more. Stay tuned. 🔥 

Oh, and if you’d like to participate in proviing feedback around what we have coming, just respond to this email! ✌️

🔥 Musical.ly President Teases Comeback

Discovered from a meme, but there still may be some truth here. @ppl.xyz might be Alex Hofmann’s quiet return to social media. The former president of Musical.ly, which eventually became TikTok after selling for about $1 billion, seems to be building something new and strangely secretive.

Ppl.xyz calls itself an app for the “AI-first era,” giving creators freedom to post AI-generated work while other platforms tighten their rules. TikTok recently removed hundreds of thousands of posts under new content policies, and Hofmann’s new project appears to be a response to that growing clampdown.

Only 100,000 users can join the early access waitlist before it closes. If this rumor holds, and Hofmann really is behind it, ppl.xyz could mark the start of a new wave of creator-led platforms built around openness instead of restriction.

🛠 The Simple YouTube Fix Creators Miss

Kelly Wakasa has nearly 2 million subscribers on YouTube and a loyal audience built on his “Do What Excites” mantra. But even he’s running into a problem most creators face: too much variety.

In a recent episode of Creator Support, Colin and Samir helped him uncover what’s holding his growth back. The issue isn’t creativity, it’s consistency. The biggest creators like Ryan Trahan, Preston, and Airrack all use clear, repeatable formats that viewers instantly recognize.

Channels that maintain consistent video frameworks see 38% higher audience retention and 27% faster subscriber growth within six months. Wakasa’s challenge isn’t lack of talent, it’s predictability. As YouTube becomes more competitive, creators who develop a clear “show format” stand out faster in both algorithm and audience.

Major Callouts for Creators

  • Repeatability builds trust: a defined show format gives viewers comfort and expectation.

  • Consistency boosts discovery: algorithms favor predictable structures and topics.

  • Structure sparks creativity: once your core format is stable, experimentation becomes easier.

You don’t need to start from scratch, just refine your rhythm. Build a show your audience can depend on, then let your creativity expand from there.

🧠 Aiarty Powers Creators With Free AI Tools

Aiarty offers AI image/video enhancer and AI Image matting software to upscale/enhance/restore images and videos, remove or change backgrounds for e-commerce and designers.

Aiarty, the AI division of Digiarty Software, just launched its Support Program, giving freelancers, small businesses, and digital creators free full-featured licenses for its suite of AI-powered video and image tools. The initiative aims to remove software costs as a barrier for those working to improve their creative output on limited budgets.

The program includes access to Aiarty Video Enhancer, Aiarty Image Enhancer, and Aiarty Image Matting, each designed to automate time-consuming editing tasks and improve quality with a single click. Aiarty’s CEO Jack Han says the goal is to let creators “focus on their craft, not software limitations.” With AI-driven denoising, upscaling, and background removal built directly into the tools, creators can produce professional-level visuals quickly and privately since all features run offline.

How to Participate in the Support Program

  1. Email [email protected] with the subject line “Aiarty Support Program.”

  2. In the email body, include your name, role (creator, freelancer, small business), and which product you want to test.

  3. Aiarty will send a download link and activation details for your chosen license.

  4. Optional: Share feedback after your trial to help shape future versions of the tools.

Two license options are available: a 30-day license for short-term or personal use and a 180-day license for ongoing freelance or client projects. Extended licenses are limited, and the program is live now.

Jeff Bezos Says This New Breakthrough is Like “Science Fiction”

He called it a “renaissance.” No wonder ~40,000 people backed Amazon partner Miso Robotics. Miso’s kitchen robots fried 4M food baskets for brands like White Castle. In a $1T industry with 144% employee turnover, that’s big. So are Miso’s partnerships with NVIDIA and Uber. Initial units of its newest robot sold out in one week. Invest before Miso’s bonus shares change on 10/9.
