 Surround yourself with people who lift you up. 

Part of self love is having a higher standard for your inner circle…

The more you know, the more you realize that these are exciting times for the entrepreneurial spirits! And it seems the marketplace is evolving to rise up to meet their needs and dreams!

The Creator Economy is a growing market that includes the Influence Marketing Industry and hundreds of new Social Startups. By end of 2023, Influence Marketing Industry is expected to value approximately $21.1 billion bringing total Creator Economy value to $104.2 billion.

Such market growth sends a strong signal that it’s going mainstream.

Another category is known as Passion Economy, also alive and thriving with about 500 million people participating globally. This unique business defines people who “monetize their individuality or non-commoditized skills through digital platforms” to make money on the internet. Linktree

This alignment happens within Social Commerce growing into $1.2 trillion wave of change by 2025 that revolutionizes the way people shop differently from traditional e-commerce by buying and selling through a personal sense of choice, authenticity, connection and community.

Understatement: future creators will continue to diversify their businesses and revenue streams to play a significant role in the overall ecommerce business community. The aspiration to be independent, unique and even make money online will prevail with the right marketplace for support, motivation and success.

Overstatement: Online marketing is strenuous and challenging side-by-side competition with big box retailers and other corporate centralized giants like Amazon, Google, Facebook and TikTok. The small average online marketers struggle to find more fair marketing control, lower advertising costs and find more customers.

New Reality: Launch of a unique global network and shopping community to sell to with content creators, vendors, influencers and small business partnerships open to everyone! Professional Training can help beginning entrepreneurs to set up their niche and marketing priorities.
