Content Creators Are The New Marketing Agency

Marketing agencies exist because they offer creative and distribution services. Content creators can offer both, and are often much less expensive than hiring an agency.

If done correctly, the relationship between a content creator and a brand can lead to an ongoing collaboration and long-term work.

Having an audience has a lot of perks. But it's also not a guarantee revenue generator. The next step for a lot of influencers it to turn their audience into equity. There are a few ways they can do this:
