Content and Business model
In this video, we dive into the exciting content and business models that are shaping the new generation of creators. We discuss the popularity of short-form content on platforms like YouTube Shorts and TikTok, emphasising how it allows for rapid audience engagement but can lead to thin viewership. We also highlight the importance of long-form content for building deeper connections with audiences and how successful creators leverage data to refine their strategies. Additionally, we outline various revenue models, including ad revenue, fan support, and partnerships, and stress the need for creators to develop an audience ownership strategy. We encourage viewers to think critically about their content strategies and consider how they can add more value to their audience.
