A goldmine for content creators

How Telegram wants to become the next big platform for creators.

by Emmanuel Oyedeji Loy Okezie

For content creators, the usual suspects for monetization have been YouTube, Twitch, and Patreon. But, that might be changing as Telegram begins making a serious play to join the big-name boys.

The platform, known for its privacy focus, is quietly transforming into a content goldmine for creators. It has just introduced a suite of tools designed to empower creators and boost their earnings. A Patreon-style subscription model that allows content creators to charge monthly fees for exclusive content, and a Star Reactions feature that offers fans a direct way to support their favourite channels.

Combined with existing monetization options like paid content sharing and ad revenue sharing, it is apparent that Telegram is throwing down the gauntlet to platforms like Patreon and YouTube and is making a bold play in the creator economy.

While Telegram is still playing catch-up in some areas, its focus on the creator economy is a bold move. If it can successfully balance user experience, privacy, and profitability, it could disrupt the status quo and reshape the landscape.

It remains to be seen if Telegram can become the next big platform for creators.
