The Ultimate Creator Checklist
Reality Check
Content Permanence: I understand content can last forever. Even with DRM, once content is downloaded, it may never be fully removed from the internet. I've considered the impact on future partners, family, and career plans.
Income Volatility: I accept that income is volatile. There’s no guaranteed salary, and I will treat high-earning months as a bonus, not a new baseline.
Stigma Reality: I know stigma is real and may face unfair judgment. I have a plan for who I can confide in if my content were to leak.
Mental Health Plan: I expect to encounter rude or creepy messages and have a coping plan, such as friends to vent to, therapy, or regular offline breaks.
