Do you notice that so many people are into content creation these days? Everyone is always filming something and posting it in hopes of gaining views, likes and followers. Once they have enough audience, they can start earning from their page and this is what is their biggest motivator. There are people who have day jobs that don't pay enough so they try their luck in content creation.
Now, I am seeing many more kids just get into it right away instead of trying to find other traditional jobs. The older generation do not even consider this a real job. But do you think, as lucrative the industry is, will it survive? Will it continue to be a good source of income? If you are struggling financially, have you ever considered content creation? Does content creation offer anything to the economy?
Lots of people are into content creation because it's easy money. People go live on TikTok these days and strangers donate gifts to them. A friend of mine, who had a monthly salary of $300, started to earn $2000 per month from TikTok lives. All she does is to turn on TikTok, speak some nonsense, be in live with other TikTokers to start a battle and during these battles, people donate gifts to help her to win and then she converts these gifts into real money.
My another female friend is a fitness influencer. She posts pictures of her butt and has 100k followers. Lots of companies try to contact her, give free products and thousands of dollars to promote their products via Instagram post and reels.
It's funny that some people attend Universities or do very hard physical labour but content creators without degrees or any experience, earn significantly more money while having fun every day and don't need to wake up at 6 am.
