Hello ,
Don't Get Burned Out By the Business of Creators
by Shelley Carney
"If we're not making money at this, we might as well do something else. It's too much work."
"I thought we were doing it because it's fun."
"I can think of many things that are more fun. I need more return on my investments and more reasons to keep doing this. Like money. And opportunities for making more money."
This is a typical conversation between partners discussing their small online business, especially in the first year or two.
My partner Toby and I have had this conversation a few times.
It's all about the "why."
Why are we working in this business?

Shelley and Toby Were Never the Same After the Fenn Treasure Was Found
The pivotal event that sent us reeling and trying to recover our balance! The Fenn treasure was found, and we had to find a new way and a new topic to stay motivated and active online.
Then we realized while we were creating tons of content along with a loyal community of viewers, we learned valuable skills we could use to build a business.

Will TikTok Be Banned in the United States? Are Creators Ready?
by Joe Pulizzi | Nov 2, 2022
Over 39K TikTok creators have at least 1M subscribers, according to Social Blade, as reported by The Information. TikTok’s algorithm is the most addicting of any social network, and the average TikTok user spends at least 90 minutes each day on the platform.
It’s no wonder TikTok has become the favored platform for content creators. TikTok boasts over 1B daily active users and is projected to have nearly 2B by year-end.
Could TikTok’s ride end for content creators?
TikTok is owned by ByteDance, a Chinese company. Tensions rose during Donald Trump’s presidency over concerns that TikTok was a security risk for the United States. While the administration considered banning the app, ByteDance announced a deal to be acquired by the US-owned Oracle.
Nothing became of the deal, although TikTok has moved much of its data over to Oracle’s servers.
I think the TikTok ride will end for creators, and soon.
