3 Creator Economy Business Ideas You Can Steal
Disclaimer: I am not liable if STUPID amounts of money are made.
What's up friends,
Today I'm sharing 3 business ideas I had but will probably never try.
They all center around creators.
... and (I think) they can all have you feeling like this guy:

Third one is my favourite - let me know your thoughts, amigos.

Yup. You pay me to tell you how to give Uncle Sam those hard-earned dollars.
On a serious note, there are a lot of unique financial questions creators find themselves wondering about:
π How do I record that brand deal?
π Should I incorporate?
π I paid $5K to make this content piece, I don't want to pay taxes on it. What do I do?
Now, this has probably been done in some way.
That being said, I think it could CRUSH if it was creator economy-ified... like Passionfroot's site.
A company like this could:
π Build a gorgeous referral program, because services would be high ticket
π Dominate the SEO game for this niche
π Make TikTok content that prints

Brands only pay for the views the creator gets.
Creators turn into marketers for their favourite brands.
Favourite, with a U, by the way - I'm Canadian.
I talked about this in this post, but I think it's worth sharing for the 5 new subscribers π
The idea's that you build a platform brands can sign up for, and allot a budget for a given creator campaign.
Upload all creative assets, talking points, etc. that a creator might need.
Creators - at their own will - then take these assets and post content on TikTok/IG/YouTube.
Creators are given a score based on followers, engagement, how well they followed the campaign guidelines, etc.
Based on that score, they are paid a certain percentage of the budget.
It's a pretty unsexy business, but I know brands would be willing to give it a shot.

If you aren't familiar, FYPM - for F*ck You, Pay Me - is a platform where creators/managers can spill the proverbial tea on what it's like to work with brands.
It's pretty damn cool. I like to read them just to read them.
But what about the other side?
Me, you, and the Man upstairs know there are some creators that are a NIGHTMARE to work with.
So how about a platform where influencer marketing managers can sign-up, and anonymously spill the tea on what it's like to work with Creator X.
Maybe they:
π Take forever to answer emails
π Are a pain in the a** about payment
π Don't follow brand guidelines
Whatever the case is, there's a case to be made that people would sign up for this.
See ya
Anyways, that's all from me today.
Tell 3 friends to tell 3 friends about the newsletter, if you know what I'm saying:

Thanks for reading. Hope you come back.
Your friend,
