Q&A: The “Great Resignation”, Short-Form Strategy, Creator Platforms, and More!

The Future Belongs to Creators

In today's Q&A episode, Charli, Haley, and Miguel discuss how the pandemic and the “Great Resignation” have impacted the creator economy. They also answer questions about the benefits and pitfalls of short-form content creation and which platforms will give you the greatest chances of success.

“We’ve all been forced to take stock of what is important to us in our lives and how we want to be spending our time, and I don’t think we’ve really seen the impact of that yet on the creator economy. Because it takes a while to get things spun up and I think we’ll see, in six months time to a year from now, there is just gonna be so many more full-time creators killing it, doing what they love, because they took this bet at this time .” ~ @charliprangley
