The Definition of a Creator
As "Creator" became the word to define a new generation of internet explorers, I asked myself what a creator really is. And I came up with a definition!

The Definition of a Creator
Finally someone who talk about the real problem ! The creator persona. But who's making money over there ? Really. For a living I mean. The problem is that creator economy startups let you think you could take easy money behind your weekly podcast with a paywal in front of it playing the 1000 true fans game. Those who crack this model are entrepreneurs. Full time entrepreneurs. Look at the exemple put in front of people. Ben Tossel, Anne Laure Lecunff, Jack Butcher, etc etc. That's my conclusion after 5 month deep diving into this world. => Entrepreneurs are the real creators. The other part are traditional influencers. My 2 cents.
Pumped up!
