Nearly 46.7% of creators work full-time, yet it takes an average of 6.5 months to earn their first dollar.

Market Dynamic

Digital platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok have allowed creators to grow audiences & monetize content through various features like ad revenue sharing & subscriptions. With their large user bases, these platforms provide access to global audiences, sparking increased interest in creator content across Europe, mainly in entertainment & lifestyle niches.
