Good morning to you and the AI version of you. If you’re already sick of seeing digital portraits of everyone you follow via a very trendy app right now, we have some breaking news for you: they’re not going anywhere.

What do y’all think? Embrace it or finally buy that cabin in the woods? 

– The Leap

YouTube Has Never Been Hotter

YouTube is popping off with popularity right now, and honestly, we love that for them. Born in 2005, the OG video platform is proving to all its younger competitors that it’s not only relevant, it’s still got a lot going for it. With their super popular Shorts feature, more ad revenue sharing opportunities in the works, and even a dedicated podcasts page, YouTube is gearing up to be the hottest platform of 2023. We’ll drink to that.

Little Extras

🌐 Gen Z's are often teased by the older generations, but in truth they’re the most ethnically diverse, financially savvy, environmentally conscious generation in history.

🤖 Have you plugged your face into Lensa yet? Might as well embrace it, because AI (along with this list of 6 trends) is going to be big next year.

📢  Creators, pay attention: hybrid events are out, micro-influencers are in, and focusing on customer success ain’t going anywhere.

Patreon, I Choose You

Despite what it sounds like, it isn’t the name of a new Pokémon. Patreon is one of a few highly successful membership platforms taking the creator and business world by storm. This membership platform allows writers, artists, educators, creators, etc. to connect with their audience more directly and make a more consistent income while they’re at it. Creators can choose to offer monthly or yearly subscriptions, charge per-creation fees, or accept fan donations. Here’s how the platform can help you offer more to your dedicated audience, while earning money from doing so.
