Content creation is a huge industry, you can see content creators making money everywhere from freelancing sites like Fiverr and Upwork to Social media sites like Facebook and Instagram, Video sites like Youtube and Tiktok, etc.

However, unless you are a content creator yourself, not many people realize that most content creators are either not making money or broke. Do you know why?

If you are a content creator and not making money online, you need to build skills essential for the content creation industry. If you are already making money but you are broke, you need to do some tweaks to your finances.

Earn more money: If you are earning money from one platform, start using other platforms as well.

Build a business: Instead of being an indie content creator, build a business around content creation.

Invest your money: When you earn money from your content, invest money in the business you care about.

Manage your money: Cut your unnecessary expenditure.
 
Since this particular post is focused on finance tips for content creators, I would like to make a few suggestions:
  • Scan your property regularly for burglaries and other intrusions with a monitored security system. This is one of the most natural and affordable ways to protect against theft related property loss or damage as well as workplace violence incidences which can lead to embezzlement and general company liability reduction.
  • Take significant and important documents and/or personal possessions with you wherever you go. It is also imperative that you be sure that your personal identification information is updated, current, and properly secured.
  • Be very cautious in placing new business relationships. Also, be sure that the business relationship is worth the risk of potential default and/or loss of money.
  • Determine if it is possible to repay the loan or not before signing any agreement with a bank.
  • When first encountering a loan offer , carefully review any documentation which is made available to you in order to make an informed decision.
