The “Creator Economy” is here, and even though it should be economical for all content creators, that isn’t always the case.
Enter TipSnaps.
TipSnaps is a Black-owned creator monetization platform on a mission to ensure diversity and inclusion in tech, where historically, it has been lacking.
TipSnaps has built a safe and equitable place for content creators- more specifically, creators of color- to turn their creations into compensation, fairly and without fear.
With no shadow banning, no algorithms demoting creators, and no content regulations or barriers to earning on the platform, Black content creators can feel confident saying yes to TipSnaps!
More than 50,000 creators already have. There was no question that TipSnaps was the answer.
But you might be asking, “Who are the creators behind the system changing the systems affecting creators?”
In this article, you’ll meet them.
