It is amazing how the internet has revolutionized the world. Content creation has become a booming industry because of the power of the internet. Now, creative people, whatever capacity have a platform to be heard and paid for their creativity. The other side of it though is that so many people have saturated the content creation industry and are feeling content that is not worth a second look.

If you are good with demonstrating, the best type of content for you to enter is visual content. If you can paint pictures with words, the best part of content creation for you is textual content. It seems that visual content pays the most. I think it is so because people prefer to see things demonstrated than having to just hear them or read them to decipher the message. I believe the content creation industry would keep improving over time for us content creators.
