Creators Should Move to Their Own Domains and Set Up Direct Monetization

content creators are busy creating content and that&#x27;s their specialty--not IT support. As long as there are content creators there will be demand for platforms to support them; whether it takes the shape of fully managed &#x2F; self managed SaaS, a self-hosted open source solution, or even a custom solution--isn&#x27;t what content creators are spending their energy on.<p>not sure what the issue is. it&#x27;s a great time to be a content creator. I guess haters are going to hate.

The elephant in the room is exposure. Medium mixes and matches articles to automatically expose the most interesting stories to the most interested readers. If you set up your own domain, you are on your own.

you could also use something like <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;coil.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;coil.com</a> to monetize your content and get paid in realtime based on views

The problem with many of these marketplaces is that they charge VAT to buyers, even if the creator is below the threshold for VAT registration.

Interesting take, but I&#x27;d use librapay&#x2F;fosspay or the Open Collective over the platforms that he recommends.
