Because of technology and the internet, creatives are finding even more opportunities to create, learn, share and make money. In the last decade we’ve seen numerous online marketplaces, e-learning platforms and the rise of the gig economy which has shaped opportunities for creatives to become their own bosses, build their own brands, carving out a space to share their work and benefit from it on a global scale. But COVID-19 has forced many artists to rethink everything and thankfully there are great platforms who can provide a space for creatives to share their expertise and make money through an existing audience already keen on utilizing the platform.
