The creator economy refers to the ecosystem of independent content creators, influencers, and artists who monetize their skills, creativity, and online presence across digital platforms. This economy thrives on direct audience engagement, leveraging tools like social media, streaming services, and creator-focused marketplaces to generate income through sponsorships, subscriptions, and merchandise.
