Is content creation profitable?

Yes, content creation can be highly profitable if done right. In today's digital age, where information is constantly being consumed online, the demand for high-quality content is at an all-time high.

Whether you are a blogger, a freelance writer, a marketer, an entrepreneur, or a business owner, creating valuable content can open up a world of opportunities for you.

I'd like to dig deeper to give you more information.

Profitable Content Creation:

1. First and foremost, content creation allows you to establish yourself as an authority in your niche.

By consistently providing valuable and informative content, you can build trust and credibility with your audience.

This can lead to increased brand recognition and customer loyalty, which ultimately translates into more sales and revenue for your business.

2. Moreover, content creation is a crucial component of any successful digital marketing strategy.

Search engines like Google love fresh and relevant content, and they reward websites that consistently produce high-quality content with higher rankings in search results.

This means that by creating valuable content, you can attract more organic traffic (free traffic) to your website, which can result in increased visibility and potential customers.

But how exactly can you monetize your content?

There are several ways to do so.

3. One of the most popular methods is through advertising revenue.

If you have a blog or a website with a significant amount of traffic, you can partner with ad networks like Google AdSense, Mediavine, Ezoic, AdThrive, or Revcontent and display ads on your site.

You earn money every time a visitor clicks on an ad or views it.

4. Another way to monetize your content is through sponsored posts or product reviews.

As you gain influence and a strong following, brands may approach you to collaborate on sponsored content.

This could involve writing a blog post or creating a video that promotes their product or service. In return, you receive compensation from the brand.

5. Additionally, content creation can also lead to opportunities for speaking engagements, consulting gigs, and even book deals.

When you establish yourself as an expert in your field through your content, people will naturally be drawn to your expertise and may seek out your services or invite you to share your knowledge at conferences or events.

Are you aware? - “Content creation should center around user inquiries, incorporating clear language, relevant keywords, and aligning with semantic search trends” – Moz

6. Have video content creation skills? Yes, it allows individuals to create engaging and valuable content for platforms like YouTube, social media, and online courses.

This can lead to opportunities for ad revenue, sponsored content, affiliate marketing, product sales, and brand partnerships, making it a lucrative skill set.

7. Last, but not least, content creation can also be profitable if you take advantage of affiliate marketing.

Produce valuable content that includes affiliate links to products or services you promote.

When audiences click on these links while following content, and eventually make a purchase, you earn a commission, which can sometimes be a recurring opportunity or for a lifetime.

“By analyzing customer behavior, preferences and interactions, you can more precisely target and personalize content creation for your audience” – MarTech

On Becoming a Content Creator or Doing Content Creation:

In conclusion, content creation has the potential to be highly profitable.

However, it's important to remember that success in this field requires dedication, consistency, and a deep understanding of your target audience.

By creating valuable and engaging content that resonates with your audience, you can leverage the power of it to grow your brand or business and generate significant profits.

Something I miss from earlier eras of the creative side of the internet was things just being unabashedly low-budget. Just all unashamedly amateur, unprofessional, ‘I don’t own a good camera but I have a story to tell you’, ‘I can’t afford a good mic but I have a song to sing for you,’ ‘I don’t have any kind of background in editing or lighting and I only just picked up this guitar last Tuesday but here’s an entire musical me and my friends wrote about our favourite book, we filmed it on a potato and put it up on YouTube in ten minute segments because we thought it was pretty funny.’

btw people keep taking fanfic and selling it on amazon and etsy and the likes because people are buying it. stop buying fanfiction.

hey actually i do feel like i should make this post because people are so often surprised when I mention that my instagram is monetized. any business account (you can tell that it's a business account because the bio has a subtitle labeling the type of business they are) that has over 10k followers on instagram is eligible for reels monetization and any account with over 15k is eligible for post monetization. There is no requirement to disclose whether or not any given post is monetized, and every post is monetized by default when you opt-in to monetization. be cognizant of what you see and what you like. the payout system is engagement-based and rewards ragebait and engagement farming. and if you are a small artist or content creator, DO NOT let large business accounts repost your work without compensation. they are making money off of you and hoping you won't notice.

the changes to the dnd game license are SUCH a perfect example of corporate greed. imagine having such a huge and dedicated fanbase buying your product that podcasts spring up for it, and instead of recognising how lucky you are for that free publicity you try to claim 25% of their profits - which will almost certainly prevent many creators from using 5e as their game of choice. and then, on top of that, you implement an anti-homebrew policy.

read more here. I haven't seen anybody in fandom talking about this yet and if you enjoy anything derived from dnd - any TTRPG, any live play podcast, any creators - this will affect you. sign the open letter. tweet at them (#opendnd). send them an email. don't let them break the spirit of creativity that underpins TTRPGS.

I hate you social media. I hate you "content creation" I hate you algorithms I hate you ideal posting times I hate you posting 5 times a day I hate you unavoidable engagement statistics. I hate you art advice that's to simplify, consider how well it will sell, make it a product, get on trends, trends trends trends! I hate the advice to go viral!

I'm sick of the grind I'm sick of "content creation" I'm sick of side hustles and small business! I'm sick of being profitable!!! I just want to post my art and talk to people about art!!!!!!!!!!!

[tippenfunkaport]

That viral post that's going around about how people who write "book quality" mlm fic are too "normal" to publish and have real jobs so only "weird" people publish their "shitty" fanfic is so completely out of touch with reality and I am giving a massive side eye to everyone reblogging it.

Not only is it completely, easily verifiably untrue (you cannot enter any professional writing space without tripping over a dozen grizzled scifi writers who got their start by filing off the serial numbers and publishing their Star Trek fanfic even going back decades ago??? it's a whole thing?? plus how can you look at the mlm category on Amazon right now and say with a straight face that people aren't publishing shitty Spirk and Stucky fanfic??? Oh, honey...) it's also the perfect example of this kind of sneering elitism that true artists would never sully themselves by seeking profit, they do it only for the purity of the thing that always somehow leads back to, "no one should be paid to make art, actually."

The only reason you're seeing more published fanfic right now has nothing to do with the idealistic purity of your hypothetical government employee written smut of the past vs the debased scribbles of those awful straights of today and everything to do with the fact that a) self-publishing has created a voracious readership that wants a ton of content so it's become a viable, flexible income stream for many, especially disabled people b) anyone can publish now with self-publishing tools so there are less gatekeepers and c) lockdown got a lot of people into fandom and therefore writing who never tried it before.

And if you really think there's no "shitty" published mlm and no "book-quality" m/f writing out there that started as fanfic, then you are clearly not a reader so why are you even talking about this?

Webtoons Is Making Moves - So Should You.

We all saw it coming ages ago and now it's finally here. There's no more beating around the bush or doubting if anyone is "reading into it too much", Webtoons' use of AI in its more recent webtoons is not an accident, not an oversight, but by design, it always has been. And I guaran-fucking-tee you that the work that already exists on the platform won't be safe from Webtoons' upcoming AI integration through scraping and data mining. Sure, they can say they're not gonna replace human creators, but that doesn't change the fact that AI tools, in their current form, can't feasibly exist without stealing from pre-existing content.

Plus, as someone who's tested their AI coloring tools specifically... they're a long, LONG way away from actually being useful. Like, good luck using them for any comic style that isn't Korean manwha featuring predominantly white characters with small heads and comically long legs. And if they do manage to get their AI tools to incorporate more art styles and wider ranges of character identities... again, what do you think it's been trained on?

Also, as an added bit that I found very funny:

Um, I'm sorry, what fucking year is it? Because platforms like WT and Tapas have both been saying this for years but we're obviously seeing them backpedal on that now with the implementation of in-house publishing programs like Unscrolled which have reinvented the wheel of taking digital webtoons and going gasp physical! It's almost like the platform has learned that there's no sustainable profit to be had in digital comics alone without the help of supplementary streams of income and is now trying to act like they've invented physical book publishing!

"The future of comic publishing, including manga, will be digital"??? My brother in christ, Shonen Jump has been exclusively digital since 2012! What rock have the WT's staff been living under that they're trying to sell digital comics as the "future" to North Americans as if we haven't already been living in that future for over ten years now?? We've had an entire generation of children raised on that same digital media since then! This isn't the selling point you think it is LMAO If anything, the digital media market here in NA is dying thanks to the enshittification of digital content platorms like Netflix, Disney+, and mainstream social media platforms! That "future" is not only already both the past and present, but is swiftly on its way out! Pack it up and go home, you missed the bus!

Literally so much of WT's IPO pitch is just a deadass grift full of corporate buzzwords and empty promises. They're trying so hard to convince people that their business model is infinitely profitable... but if it were, why do they need the public's money? And where are all those profits for the creators who are being exploited day after day to fill their platform with content? Why are so many creators still struggling to pay their bills if the company has this much potential for profit?

Ultimately even their promised AI tools don't ensure profit, they ensure cutting expenses. The extra money they hope to make isn't gonna come from their content generating income, it's gonna come from normal people forking over their money in the hopes that it'll be turned around, and from Webtoons cheapening the medium even further until it's nothing but conveyer belt gruel. Sure, "making more than you spend" is the base definition of "profit", but can we really call it that when it's through the means of gutting features, retiring support programs, letting go editing staff, and limiting resources for their own hired freelancers who are the only reason they even have content to begin with? That's not sustainable profit or growth, that's fighting the tide which can and will carry them away at any moment.

I'm low key calling it now, a year or two from today we're gonna be seeing massive lawsuits and calls to action from the people who invested their money into WT and subsequently lost it into the black hole that is WT's "business model". This is a company that's been operating in the red for years, what about becoming an IPO is gonna make them "profitable"? Let alone profitable enough to pay back their investors in the spades they're expecting? The platform and its app are already shit and they're about to become even worse, we are literally watching this company circle the drain in the modern day's ever-ongoing race to the bottom, enshittification in motion, but they're trying to convince us all the same that they're "innovating".

Webtoons doesn't want to invest in its creators. We as creators need to stop investing in them.

It wasn't exactly wet, and it wasn't exactly cold. It wasn't even particularly windy, at least, not by the standards of the wild West Highlands. But it was grey, grey, grey… Just grey, grey, grey… And that was enough to dampen the spirits of anyone, even a daft fluffy bird.

Uncertain how to occupy himself on such a dreich day, Algy decided to profit from the dismal weather by catching up with his reading. He had been asleep for such a very long time that he was sure he had forgotten much of what he once remembered. Recalling some famous lines from The Taming of the Shrew:

No profit grows where is no pleasure ta’en; In brief, sir, study what you most affect.

he selected a volume from his own personal set of poetry books, and settled down to study it.

The grass was still uncomfortably moist, and the garden was hushed and still. The bees had not bothered to come out today, to buzz about the hydrangea flowers which they normally loved, and the robin only trilled a few desultory notes from time to time and then stopped. But Algy was undeterred. Taking great care to keep his book away from the damp foliage, he opened it in the middle and read:

The rain had fallen, the Poet arose, He passed by the town, and out of the street, A light wind blew from the gates of the sun, And waves of shadow went over the wheat, And he set him down in a lonely place, And chanted a melody loud and sweet, That made the wild-swan pause in her cloud, And the lark drop down at his feet. The swallow stopt as he hunted the bee, The snake slipt under a spray, The hawk stood with the down on his beak And stared, with his foot on the prey And the nightingale thought, "I have sung many songs, But never a one so gay, For he sings of what the world will be When the years have died away."

[Algy is reading the poem The Poet's Song by the 19th century English poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson.]

Watcher fans sure are entitled and a little insane, ngl. "No one is going to sign up for your service! We're all poor! You've made the worst decision, and you'll be back in no time!" Saying this directly to the creators really reminds you of how low the respect for people you don't personally know has gone. I miss the forth wall between creator and audience.

I get and fully understand not having the money to support them, but... Watcher does have fans with money. A lot of them actually. They have merch sales. Their live tour sells out most venues. They have thousands of supporters on Patreon, where the cheapest tier is $5. They're able to gauge the rough finances of their staunchest supporters; that's how they landed on the subscription price. Yes, this move will reduce their viewership in sheer numbers, but to say all of their fans are broke and none will follow/support is factually incorrect.

It may not be a decision everyone agrees with, but severing the limitations of advertisers and youtube in favor of artistic freedom is a good thing. Yes, even if it comes with a loss of revenue. They understand that risk.

Also, I'm begging people to stop treating this like "another Netflix" or something and instead look at it as, "I am supporting a creator I like, similar to Patreon." They literally said in the video that they don't care if you share accounts. Get five friends, and you'll pay $1/mo.

I hate feeling compelled to rant in favor of their decision because I have my own reservations about whether it's the best move. However, I know it's not a choice they made lightly, and I like to think they understand that they'll need to branch out like crazy to entice subscribers.

I was trying to find this Tolkien fan film that I had previously never heard of, and I found its old social media accounts & the social media accounts of the director (he's working on a tv show now, good for him), and even an interview with a Middle Earth fan site, but I can't find the actual film itself anywhere. The director seems pretty legit, all the promo photos looked very real and very well done, so I'm wondering if I can't find it because the Tolkien estate nuking it

[corviiids]

god i need to start doing youtube or something so that if a post blows up i can get money instead of what i get on twitter which is inconvenienced

“Je me souviens / Que né sous le lys / Je croîs sous la rose.”

[I remember / That born under the lily / I grow under the rose.]

- Official motto of Quebec

Inspired by @historia-vitae-magistras' beautiful and heart-wrenching stories about Matt and his two fathers.

The first panel shows Francis holding baby Mathieu, who remained under his tutelage until 1763, the end of the Seven Years War. Canada grew under the “English rose” until the 20th century, when it relinquished most of its dependence on the British Empire. 

The second panel shows Arthur kneeling before a young Matt and offering him a rose. In the next panels, Matt pricks his finger on the rose’s thorns. The thorns can be a metaphor for all the wars Canada had fought in for the empire. 

Eventually, the droplets of blood morph into the red maple leaves, Canada’s national symbol, suggesting that Canada has grown into his own.

Okay I'm so incredibly sorry for this but....

Let me talk about the Rui empty eye trained card phenomenon and why i've been studying it for years

As in how it's the weirdest thing colorpalet has done, weither or not this has any story meaning ig we'll have to see :')

This phenomenon describes how Rui is the only OC that isn't related to 25ji (and even for 25ji only Mizuki and Mafuyu have had this) that has had empty eyes in a trained card in his own event (even worse it happened Twice.).

The first incident was in Curtain Call, now while in the non transparent version there is some lighting his eyes do not have any highlights of their own. This can be seen in the transparent version where Rui's eyes are empty (the issue of transparent versions of cards will become apparent soon and I will discuss it later).

The second incident happened in Cyberpunk Deadboy...this time there is no real question about it it's just straight up empty eyes.

There is also the transparent version of Rui's detective set card which has empty eyes but since the non transparent version has highlights I've decided to not count it.

Now the weirdness of this phenomenon is made clear when you compare it to Literally Every Single Card in the Game.

And since I'm a normal person with normal hobbies and normal amount of free time, I've searched for literally any card to follows this issue Rui has.

The results however are staggering.

There are only few cards that come close to Rui's treatment and even then most are from mixed or are basically reaching.

-Akito's untrained from LUTF is probably the closest to an exception we have however Akito's eyes are shaded in a way that still shows light in his eyes.

-Emu's halloween trained is a weird one ?? The eyes are extremely stylised to make her spooky so it doesn't rlly end up looking like empty eyes at all though there are no traditional highlights. You could argue it would be the same for Rui's trained cards then but it's clear the context is wildly different.

-Shiho's Halloween trained card, the transparent version does have empty eyes but the non transparent version has highlights which means it doesn't count.

-Touya's White day card, the non transparent version has no highlights but the transparent version has one, basically same as Shiho but reversed.

Anyways the fact I had to reach this far just to find a counterexemple to the weirdness of how colorpalet has basically given Rui empty eyes in Half Of His Focus Events is pretty telling.

Does this have any meaning towards the story at large ??? No ???? Yes ??????? I genuinely don't know at this point, all I know is that this has taken years off my life.

Hope you have a nice day and apologies for the monstrosity I have left on your doorstep

Demo I'm going to start compiling your analyses and putting them on paper because this is Harvard research level shit I swear. You're the one and true Ruitologist in this fandom /pos /baffled and amazed

That is very interesting indeed... I can fully understand curtain call but as always cpdb set is an anomaly anywhere you look. I don't even know

[kuromi-hoemie]

thank you 🏴‍☠️ streaming site admins for seeing a wave of domains get taken down and stepping up to make more instead of leaving it as is. the harder it's cracked down on and the more gets taken away, the more i refuse to pay for legitimate services. like.. lol. at least TRY to fix the many reasons people turn to piracy or deal with this happening forever idc.

i know it’s impossible to compare something scripted to something like critical role and i know i often say “no writer’s room could’ve done this” when it comes to cr but imogen is experiencing something so authentic to the sapphic experience and it developed so organically in the same way beau’s experience felt so real and the difference between her feelings for yasha and jester resonated with me in a Deeply Lesbian Way and i just feel that can only be accomplished when the creator, actor and ‘writer' is the same person and story comes before both profit and audience demands and in-character choices are made in the moment just like real life and that’s something tv/film will simply never be able to do
