Being a content creator is a privilege for a generation full of freelance professionals. But making the first $ comes to be one of the greatest goals ever achieved as a creator. And the time for that is undefined.

Making your first $ can be faster than many creators can imagine. It all just depends on where you are creating content for and how you are creating the content.

As I said above, being a creator is a privilege, not only because anyone who wants to talk about their professional life experience, travel, relationship, health, or academic life, can now be rewarded with the many spaces that pay content creators across the Web. But because in recent years creators are no longer seen as ordinary amateurs trying to entertain society through social media. With the growth of creators around the world and with more places where there are rewards for creators to support their lives, today creators are taken more seriously and trusted; they are now called professionals and many of them control management systems of large companies in the technology, or social media, industry.

Today it is enough to have a Side Hustle, to appropriate your niche, you don't need a college degree. Degrees are becoming more and more restricted for some specializations, it is believed that in a few years, you will only have bachelor's degrees, who will need to have a degree with specialties that require face-to-face practice in the field.

"As a content creator, you have the chance to get your first $1 faster and more emotional than getting your first salary in a company."

Getting your first salary can be nice, but not so much compared to the emotion a creator feels when getting their first $1. Many times we don't work with what we expected and are forced to fit into the field in question because we have no other choice; because the markets are violent, featuring a high percentage of unemployment, so we just fit into an area we never dreamed of working for. "You can be one of the most motivated beings there is, but if you work with something you have no passion for, you won't have the same motivation even if your salary is high."

Many people, because they love what they do as creators, have quit their jobs to lead a happy life, creating content in various places on the internet. These creators have built their own space, their audience, have a legion of fans, and make thousands of digits monthly creating what they love. And that's how we made our first $ as creators.

By creating what you love, that content will attract an audience that will come to love your work, and by being in a place where creators can be rewarded for creating content, you will make your first $. The first $ in turn is the most emotional gain that is then replaced by the first three figures a month.

Why is the first $1 so Radiant for Creators?

The first $ causes such a great motivation for the creator because it defines his career as a creator shows how effective he is becoming each day and how his content is worth rewarding. It is like your small business signing your first employment contract, it shows that your work is being recognized and worthwhile and now deserves to be rewarded, and because it is done with love, the reward comes with that warmth of great inspiration and motivation.

The greatest motivation comes from what we love, that is why as creators even just pennies make us celebrate as we have never before celebrated with a paycheck. The effort and own account count much more than the collective recognition.
