The Internet, social media and the new Creator Economy (content creators) allow anyone with talent to start a digital business and earn money from that passion. According to Hotmart, a technology and digital products company, there are already 50 million content creators in the world, of which 2 million do it full time.
The internet facilitated the path of entrepreneurship and brought a paradigm shift in business building and the emergence of new professions.
Here are the six advantages of this relationship:
Barriers to entrepreneurship disappear: The Internet makes it possible to start a digital business with little or no investment. From home, with no other costs, all that is usually needed is a mobile phone or a computer with an Internet connection. Anyone can do it!
Instant step from idea to reality: The step from idea to reality in the new Creator Economy is also much easier than in the traditional economy and can be accomplished almost instantly. This is a great opportunity for all people who have some knowledge or talent and can now monetize it.
BUT: First edition of the “Emerging Entrepreneurship” forum gives impetus to youth projects
Ease of growth: Once an attractive digital product has been created (be it an online course, a tutorial, a ebooks, um podcast or any other format), with the internet and new digital content platforms, this product can reach millions of potential customers around the world, growth for which the entrepreneur does not need to substantially increase his business structure.
Turning a talent into a profession: one of the main advantages of the Creator Economy and the Internet is that people can exploit their knowledge, accumulated during their professional activity, through their hobby or by any other means, and share it with the world, turning it into a source of income.
Practicing “Silent Entrepreneurship”: on the Internet, anyone who has some knowledge to share does not need to abandon what is their main source of income to become an entrepreneur. The Creators Economy gives you the opportunity to start your project little by little, testing whether your knowledge and business generate interest, until you decide to dedicate all your time to it or keep it as an additional source of income.
Drive 100% physical and digital business: the Creators Economy and the Internet offer the capabilities to boost both entrepreneurial projects that are already in the physical world and want to complement each other in the digital world, as well as 100% digital projects.
