The best ways to monetize your content
Hello storytellers! We just had another wisdom-filled session on the creator economy. This time we teamed up with SmoothOps founder and Morning Brew OG Josh Kaplan. We discussed why creators are the future of media, what the best ways for creators to monetize are and when they should do so. If this piques your interest, give the session a listen.

The Ownership Economy: Valiant Fund just published a thoughtful piece on the state of the ownership economy. While the focus is on web3, there are many valuable lessons for any creator looking to build community and earn a sustainable income.
Are creators the future of ads?: Big Tech certainly seems to think so. According to Axios, brands are increasingly shifting their advertising dollars away from social ads and into creators. Now, companies from Amazon to TikTok are putting an effort into helping brands align themselves with creators. Exciting.
Just for fun
